Meniscal extrusion (ME) is a valuable, noninvasive diagnostic tool for meniscus pathology. In addition, ultrasound can allow instant results in the office. However, ME fragile metric degree of millimeters. The inconsistent techniques used by different authors literature and additional operator variability that technology introduces make it important systematic approach used. purpose this study to propose reproducible technique. current recommend having patient (1) 30° knee flexion while...
Background: It is unclear how pediatric orthopedic surgeons are geographically distributed relative to their patients. The purpose of this study was evaluate the geographic distribution in United States. Materials and Methods: County-level data actively practicing were identified by matching several registries membership logs. Data used calculate distance between counties nearest surgeon. Counties categorized as “surgeon clusters” or deserts” if surgeon less than greater national average all...
Abstract Purpose Geographic access to physicians has been shown be unevenly distributed in the USA, with those closer proximity having superior outcomes. The purpose of this study was describe how geographic pediatric neurosurgeons varies across socioeconomic and demographic factors. Methods Actively practicing were identified by matching several registries membership logs. This data used find their primary practice locations distance average person a county must travel visit surgeon....
Abstract Purpose To assess the following hypotheses related to vertebral body tethering (VBT): 1. VBT is associated with asymmetric (concave > convex) increases in height over instrumented vertebra. 2. The Cobb angle improves surgery growth. Methods This a retrospective case series of pediatric patients from multicenter scoliosis registry treated between 2013 2021. Inclusion criteria: standing radiographs at < 4 months and ≥ 2 years after surgery. Distances superior endplate UIV...
The Altmetric score is a validated tool that measures online attention of scientific studies. A relationship between government/industry funding for authors and their study's citations have been previously demonstrated. It not known whether related to greater attention. We hypothesize publishing studies achieving (higher scores) receive monetary support from industry while critical acclaim (more citations) the National Institute Health (NIH).
Retrospective cohort study.The purpose of this study was to see whether upgrades in newer generation robots improve safety and clinical outcomes following spine surgery.All patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery with the Mazor X Stealth EditionTM (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) from 2019 2022 at a combined orthopedic neurosurgical service were retrospectively reviewed. Robot related complications recorded.264 consecutive (54.1% female; age time 63.5 ± 15.3 years) operated on by 14...
In 2013, the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) instituted a case minimum requirement for orthopaedic residents. It is unknown how pediatric volume and variability have been affected by this change. The ACGME surgery log data from 2007 to 2020 were used evaluate number type procedures logged graduating mean median cases compared years before (2007-2013) after (2014-2020) implementation using Student t-test. period implementation, there significant decreases in both...
Introduction: There has been an increasing demand for transparency between industry and physicians. Several studies have evaluated the distribution of payment value types to orthopaedic surgeons, but little is known about spending patterns from industry-centric perspective. The purpose this study was describe top medical device companies in orthopaedics while presenting a geospatial analysis these trends. Methods: Open Payments database assessed all records financial relationships with...
Poor sleep quality is associated with metabolic dysregulation and impaired healing. The purpose of the current study was to quantify prevalence poor in patients atraumatic foot ankle (F&A) conditions determine whether surgical treatment improvement.Patients scheduled for management F&A were enrolled by 4 fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons between May 2018 April 2019. Patients completed Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) pre- postoperatively. PSQI ranges from 0 21, a score ≥5...
