Background: Tibial tubercle fractures are typically treated surgically with screws. Implant irritation is the most common complication. However, detailed investigation of this problem challenging, since research limited to small, single-center studies. Understanding who at highest risk may improve patient counseling and potentially guide surgical techniques. The purpose study identify factors for implant in patients undergoing fixation tibial fractures. Methods: This retrospective cohort...
Background The aims of this study were to evaluate the associated injuries occurring with acute perilunate instability and assess clinical radiographic outcomes dislocations fracture–dislocations treated a combined dorsal volar approach. Methods A total 45 patients (46 wrist injuries) prospectively evaluated. size mid-carpal ligament tear, location scapholunate presence osteochondral fragments radio-carpal avulsions recorded at injury. Final evaluated in 25 cases (25 wrists) minimum 6 months...
Quantification of a researcher's productivity relies on objective bibliometric measurements, such as the Hirsch index (h-index). However, h-index is not field and time-normalized possesses bias against newer researchers. Our study first to compare relative citation ratio (RCR), new article-level metric developed by National Institutes Health, with in academic orthopaedics.Academic orthopaedic programs United States were identified using 2022 Fellowship Residency Electronic Interactive...
The noninvasive expandable prosthesis is used for limb-salvage surgery following tumor resection in skeletally immature patients. purpose of this retrospective study to report our experience with the Repiphysis (Wright Medical Technology, Inc; Arlington, Tennessee) both lower extremity and compassionate use upper 12 patients between 2003 2008. Twelve prostheses were implanted an average follow-up 38 months (range, 12–78 months). Nine underwent a total expansion procedures. Mean was 4.5 cm...
Abstract Purpose Since its release in November 2022, Chat Generative Pre‐Trained Transformer 3.5 (ChatGPT), a complex machine learning model, has garnered more than 100 million users worldwide. The aim of this study is to determine how well ChatGPT can generate novel systematic review ideas on topics within spine surgery. Methods was instructed give ten for five popular surgery literature: microdiscectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, kyphoplasty and disc replacement. A comprehensive...
Background: Given the rare nature of tibial tubercle fractures, previous studies are mostly limited to small, single-center series. This results in practice variation. Previous research has shown poor surgeon agreement on utilization advanced imaging, but improved evidence-based indications may help balance clinical utility with resource utilization. The purpose this study is quantify diagnostic practices for fractures a large, multicenter cohort, attention usage and impact imaging. Methods:...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a genetic condition marked by progressive muscle degeneration, presents notable orthopaedic challenges, especially scoliosis, which deteriorates patients' quality of life affecting sitting balance and complicating cardiac respiratory functions. Current management strategies emphasize early intervention with corticosteroids to delay disease progression the use surgical spinal fusion address severe aiming enhance balance, alleviate discomfort, potentially...
The purpose of this study was to determine the variability in clinical management tibial tubercle fractures among a group pediatric orthopedic surgeons. Nine fellowship-trained academic surgeons reviewed 51 anteroposterior and lateral knee radiographs with associated case age. Respondents were asked describe each fracture using Ogden classification (type 1–5 A/B modifiers), desired radiographic workup, operative vs. nonoperative treatment strategy plans for post-treatment follow-up. Fair...
Bucket-handle meniscal tears are extremely rare injuries in the pediatric population. Given known sequelae of and development osteoarthritis, early diagnosis treatment essential. The communication barrier between physicians patients, however, creates difficulties making correct pathology. Providers should have a low threshold for obtaining further confirmatory advanced imaging if patients present with prolonged knee pain swelling, associated locking mechanical symptoms. Good clinical...
"Top 20" status on Doximity, an online networking service for medical professionals, is indicator of the reputation a residency program. The study assesses how training at Top 20 (T20) orthopaedic program impacts career productivity and funding. Fellowship Residency Electronic Interactive Database was used in 2022 to identify active programs. Demographic data collected each surgeon using institutional websites Doximity. Navigator feature Doximity rank programs by "reputation." Programs were...
Academic medical centers greatly benefit from retaining their physicians; that ensures continuity in patient care, enhances resident education, and maintains a pool of experienced clinicians researchers. Despite its importance, little research has been published on the retainment academic faculty orthopaedics. To address this gap, study investigates demographic trends orthopaedic surgeons 2016 to 2022. By analyzing data pertaining gender distribution, years practice, productivity,...
The Internet is an important source of information for patients, but its effectiveness relies on the readability content. Patient education materials (PEMs) should be written at or below a sixth-grade reading level as outlined by agencies such American Medical Association. This study assessed PEMs' novel anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT), distraction-based methods, and posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in treating pediatric deformity.
<h3>Background</h3> Approximately 50% of patients with congenital scoliosis will require surgical treatment to prevent further progression. Outcomes following are sparse in the literature. The purpose this study was identify independent risk factors associated unplanned readmission and prolonged length stay (LOS) undergoing primary for scoliosis. <h3>Methods</h3> National Surgical Quality Improvement Database-Pediatric queried database years 2016–2018 who underwent posterior fusion spine....
Posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can be associated with significant blood loss. It has been suggested that loss is greater in different racial groups. The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences between African American and Caucasian patients undergoing PSF AIS.
Introduction: Given the relative rarity of tibial tubercle fractures and high proportion that undergo surgical treatment, there is little data on non-operative management these injuries. Some patients are initially treated non-surgically may ultimately require operative intervention. The purpose this study was to identify risk factors for failed fractures. Methods: This retrospective comparative included younger than 18 years underwent initial treatment a fracture at six tertiary children’s...
Category: Ankle; Other Introduction/Purpose: Cerebral palsy (CP) provides challenges when treating congenital clubfoot (CF) due to the presence of aberrant muscle tone and motor dysfunction. Split anterior tendon transfer (SPATT) split posterior (SPOTT) are two ubiquitous treatments in surgical repair CP CF. Kling et. al. developed a three-tier grading system for documenting SPOTT outcomes; assigning excellent, good, or poor based on postoperative ambulation functional dorsiflexion, this has...
