Introduction Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is performed for various pathologies. Inadequate tensioning of the deltoid muscle can lead to complications, highlighting need optimization. Preoperative quantification health may improve operative execution and outcomes. Shear wave elastography (SWE) quantifies stiffness as a marker tensioning. This study establishes normal reference values in healthy individuals. Methods 40 participants were enrolled, 10 each 18–30, 31–40, 41–55, 55 + age...
OBJECTIVES: To compare three fluoroscopic methods for determining femoral rotation. METHODS: Native version was measured by computed tomography in 20 intact femurs from 10 cadaveric specimens. Two Steinmann pins were placed into each left femur above and below a planned transverse osteotomy which completed through the diaphysis. Four surgeons utilized true lateral (TL), neck-horizontal angle (NH), lesser trochanter profile (LTP) techniques to correct injured femur's rotation using right as...
Objectives: Recent studies have established the usage of virtual reality (VR) to help alleviate acute and chronic pain. VR technology can be cost prohibitive cheaper alternatives are desired. In this study, a Google Cardboard headset ($15) combined with smartphone was used as low-cost device assess efficacy in altering perception Materials Methods: The cold pressor test, minimal-risk method, simulate Participants immersed their hands into ice water, without VR, crossover manner, pain data...
Ninety-six wrists (56 right and 40 left) in 96 patients (36 males 60 females, mean age 38, range 15–77 years) underwent repair of ulnotriquetral ligament split tears between 2007 2016. Mayo wrist scores, visual analogue scale pain objective measures including grip strength motion were obtained. Patients assessed after a follow-up 21 months (range 6–112 months). Ulnotriquetral tear resulted substantial improvements function. The score improved from 57 preoperatively to 81 postoperatively,...
Objective: To determine whether operating on “major” vertebral fractures leads to premature abortion of surgery and/or other acute cardiopulmonary complications. Design: Retrospective review. Clinical Setting: Level 1 trauma center. Patients/Participants and Intervention: We retrospectively queried our institutional Trauma Rregistry for all cases presenting with concomitant rib surgically managed fractures. Main Outcome Measurements: The main outcomes included the surgical outcome (aborted...
Focus on residents' role in teaching and learning has become a topic of increasing interest underscored by the responsibility that physicians training are given as facilitators medical student rotations, supervisors peers patient educators. Studies demonstrate more developed skills predictive increased knowledge base improved clinical skill. As coveted competency, development skill an established milestone residency programs requirement regulatory agencies (ACGME, LCME) institutions provide...
Intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus present challenges to treating physician and patient alike. The olecranon osteotomy is accepted as standard exposure for intra-articular fractures; nevertheless, complications such nonunion implant prominence are common. In this article, we describe clinical outcomes anatomic features triceps tenotomy an alternative method internal fixation fractures. approach affords greater articular surface; however, there was no difference in quality...
