Background The International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Evaluation Form may be used to measure symptoms, function, and sports activity for people with a variety of knee disorders, including ligamentous meniscal injuries, osteoarthritis, patellofemoral dysfunction. To date, normative data have not been established this valid, reliable, responsive outcomes instrument. Purpose provide clinicians researchers facilitate the interpretation results on Form. Study Design Cross-sectional...
Recent advances in diagnosis and instrumentation have facilitated the arthroscopic treatment of hip pathology. However, little has been reported on trends utilization arthroscopy. The purpose this study was to examine changes use arthroscopy as reflected American Board Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) database. We also surveyed directors both sports joint reconstruction fellowships determine attitudes toward training.The number cases ABOS database during 1999 through 2009 determined. A survey...
The American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) is one the twenty-four separate boards that make up Medical Specialties. Of boards, fourteen require an oral examination. At present, ABOS only board with a computerized data collection system allows for analysis collected information in database. The exists to serve interests public and medical profession by establishing educational standards orthopaedic residents evaluating initial continuing qualifications competence surgeons. Upon...
In Brief Study Design. Multicenter, prospective, consecutive clinical series. Objectives. To establish and validate classification of scoliosis in the adult. Summary Background Data. Studies adult reveal impact radiographic parameters on self-assessed function: lumbar lordosis frontal plane obliquity vertebrae, not Cobb angle, correlate with pain scores. Deformity apex intervertebral subluxations disability. Methods. A total 947 adults spinal deformity had analysis: apex, lordosis,...
During the administration of oral (Part II) examinations for American Board Orthopaedic Surgery over past nine years, it has been observed that orthopaedic surgeons are opting more often open treatment as opposed to percutaneous fixation distal radial fractures. Evidence support this change in is thought be deficient. The present study was designed identify changes practice patterns regarding operative fractures between 1999 and 2007 assess results those treatments time.As a part...

In Brief Study Design. Prospective analysis of a consecutive cohort adult spinal deformity patients queried over 12-month period. Objectives. To assess the SRS-22 instrument compared with SF-12 and Oswestry. Summary Background Data. Very few reports in literature have applied to patients. Methods. Consecutive were SRS-22, SF-12, Four analyses done: 1) floor/ceiling effect; 2) Pearson's correlation coefficients between Oswestry; 3) Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency within SRS-22; 4)...
Arthroscopic Bankart repair emerged in the 1990s as a minimally invasive alternative to open repair. The optimal technique of surgical stabilization unstable glenohumeral joint remains controversial.A review American Board Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) data would show trend toward an increasing number arthroscopic versus procedures.Descriptive epidemiology study.A query ABOS database for all cases or from 2003 through 2008 was performed, CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes were...
In Brief Study Design. Prospective, sequential enrollment. Objective. We report the development and testing of Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (SAQ) for reliability, validity, responsiveness in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Summary Background Data. The SAQ was designed to measure patients' their parents' perception spinal deformity's appearance using standardized drawings questions. This study test instrument's psychometric properties. Methods. administered as a test-retest scoliosis...
Tears of the superior labrum (superior anterior and posterior [SLAP] lesions) shoulder are uncommon injuries; however, incidence surgical correction seems to be increasing.To report findings a review proprietary descriptive database that catalogs cases for purpose board certification on demographics SLAP lesion repair. It is authors' impression percentage repairs reported by young orthopaedic surgeons high complications associated with this not insignificant.Cohort study; level evidence,...
Prospective, cross-sectional study.To determine Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-30 health-related quality of life (HRQOL) reference values by age and gender in an adult population unaffected scoliosis thereby allowing clinicians investigators to compare individual and/or groups spinal deformity patients their generational peers.Normative data are collected establish means standard deviations outcomes representative a population. The SRS HRQOL questionnaire has become the for determining...
In Brief Study Design. Prospective, observational study. Objective. To further validate the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) instrument by comparing scores of adult deformity patients with no prior history spine surgery to normal volunteers in age-gender matched groups. Summary Background Data. Efforts have been made SRS questionnaire adolescent and patients. An important psychometric attribute any quality life tool is its ability discriminate between subjects without condition interest....
The concept of "Sign Your Site" was established in 1997 to prevent wrong-site surgery the U.S., and this expanded mandated Universal Protocol 2008. However, true incidence U.S. is not known, nor do we know whether has changed. American Board Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) requires that candidates for certification provide a list their cases, including surgical complications, performed, they complied with practice. Each candidate attests accuracy his or her notarized case list. purpose study...
While hardware removal may improve patient function, the procedure carries risks of unexpected outcomes. Despite being among most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures, scant attention has been given to its complication profile.We queried American Board Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) de-identified database Part II surgical case lists from 2013 through 2019 for Medical Association Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) implant-removal codes (20680, 20670, 22850, 22852, 22855, 26320).

Introduction: Since 2020, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and Board Surgery (ABOS) have collaborated to link AAOS In-Training Examination (OITE) ABOS part I Certification Examination, allowing identification a minimum score on each annual OITE that corresponds passing score. The purpose this study is assess performance examination linking over these past 3 years. Methods: From 2020 2022, provided graduating resident's score; from 2021 2023, examinee's pass-fail result....
Knee arthroscopy is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures performed in United States. The publication a randomized controlled trial versus sham surgery by Moseley et al 2002 showed no efficacy and challenged role for treatment osteoarthritis.(1) osteoarthritis has decreased after study al, (2) as percentage cases decreased, (3) average age patients undergoing decreased.Descriptive epidemiology study.The authors examined American Board Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) database that includes...
The Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et Traumatologie (SICOT), the Task Force on Outcome Studies of American Academy Orthopaedic Surgeons, and Hip Society reached a consensus nomenclature to be used for evaluation results total hip arthroplasty. assess arthroplasty from perspective patient, subsequently developed questionnaire that incorporated this nomenclature. validity reliability data regarding are reported in study. Twenty-five patients participated test. non-response...
Previous research shows a correlation in performance between the Orthopaedic In-Training Examination (OITE) and American Board of Surgery (ABOS) Certifying Part I; however, these studies are not current, with most recent data from 2009.
