Background: Reported infection rates following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are low, but infections associated with high morbidity including reoperations and inferior clinical outcomes. The purpose of the current study was to investigate rate after ACL without graft preparation a vancomycin irrigant. Methods: All reconstructions performed between May 2009 August 2018 at single academic institution were reviewed categorized based on use. Patients <90-day follow-up,...
Hallux rigidus with an associated osteochondral lesion is a common condition that can effectively be treated cheilectomy and Moberg osteotomy (CM). The use of biological adjuncts such as extracellular matrix (ECM) bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) have been suggested to facilitate healing restore forefoot function. aim was report if the addition ECM BMAC improves clinical outcomes for treatment hallux rigidus. Patients who received open first proximal phalangeal dorsal closing wedge...
Background: There is a lack of consensus on how deltoid injuries should be addressed in the setting acute ankle fractures. This study aims to evaluate whether repair during lateral malleolar fracture fixation leads improved clinical outcomes compared without repair. Methods: was single-center retrospective involving 13 surgeons. Inclusion criteria were patients aged 18 years or older who underwent open for supination external rotation type IV (SER IV) equivalent fracture. SER fractures...
Excessive prescription of opioids has become a national problem. Providers must attempt to decrease the amount prescribed while still providing patients with adequate pain relief after surgery.Implementing standardized multimodal analgesic protocol will at time surgery as well total dispensed postoperatively.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Patients who had undergone meniscectomy, rotator cuff repair (RCR), or anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction our institution were identified by...
Abstract Background and Objectives Evidence regarding the impact of sarcopenia on operative outcomes in patients with sarcoma is lacking. We evaluated relationship between postoperative complications or mortality among undergoing tumor excision reconstruction. Methods retrospectively reviewed 145 treated limb reconstruction for extremities. Sarcopenia was defined as psoas index (PI) < 5.45 cm 2 /m men <3.85 women from preoperative axial CT. Regression analyses were used to assess...
Background: Patients undergoing elective procedures often utilize online educational materials to familiarize themselves with the surgical procedure and expected postoperative recovery. While Internet is easily accessible ubiquitous today, ability of patients read, understand, act on these unknown. Purpose: To evaluate resources about anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery utilizing measures readability, understandability, actionability. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level evidence,...
Abstract This study aims to evaluate the trends in treatment of knee articular cartilage lesions over past decade using data obtained from American Board Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Part II database. The ABOS database was queried 2004 2013 for chondroplasty, microfracture, and osteochondral grafting procedures. All cases were analyzed patient age operating surgeon's fellowship training status. Univariate analysis including chi-square test categorical variables Student's t-test continuous...
Background: The diagnosis and treatment of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis (DTFS) injury can be challenging, especially in cases subtle instability that may masked on 2-dimensional conventional radiographs. Weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT) has recently emerged as a useful diagnostic tool allowing direct assessment area widening. purpose the current study was to examine report normal threshold values for DTFS measurements cohort healthy volunteers, assessing ankles natural...
The purpose of this study was to describe the pattern meniscus and cartilage pathology in multiligament knee injuries (MLKIs) determine relationship between surgical timing injury mechanism with degree intra-articular injury. Patients surgically treated MLKIs over a 15-year period were retrospectively reviewed grouped based on intervention, time mechanism. presence or absence chondral recorded at surgery. Surgical intervention within 6 weeks deemed acute, while surgery occurring more than...
