Introduction This study analyzed the number of peer-reviewed publications submitted by matriculants prior to applying for orthopedic surgery residency. The graduating residency classes 2023 and 2027 were included in understand trend publications, inform aspiring surgeons. Methods top, middle, bottom 10 programs identified on Doximity online website. Matriculants searched PubMed Google Scholar publication contributions. Variables including first-author authorship, H-index analyzed. A logistic...
Delayed hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) have been reported in association with COVID-19 vaccines, particularly those that are mRNA-based. Classic DHRs result induration, erythema, tenderness, and urticaria. However, soft tissue mass is an uncommon complication of a vaccination-associated DHR rarely the literature. We present case 49-year-old male who recognized mildly painful, firm within biceps mimicking neoplasm six months after receiving booster dose Moderna vaccine. Non-operative...
Degenerative disc disease describes a ubiquitous condition involving the natural deterioration of an intervertebral disc. Conservative methods such as physical therapy and anti-inflammatories are recommended first-line therapies for noninvasive management. However, when these interventions fail to reduce pain, surgical intervention is indicated. While laminectomies, discectomies, spinal fusion procedures have been considered standard treatment throughout 20th century, development artificial...
Hypersensitivity reactions to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were identified in initial 2020 trials. Appearance of a soft tissue mass is rare manifestation this hypersensitivity reaction. In patient, bilateral injections resulted appearance shoulder masses. Magnetic resonance imaging showed localized pseudo-tumorous edema both shoulders, one subcutaneous and other intramuscular. This only second case mass-like reaction vaccine mimicking possible neoplasm. Improper vaccination administration...
: The objective of this study was to determine whether preoperative opioid education reduces consumption after spine surgery and which educational methods are the most effective. Orthopedists likely prescribe opioids among all specialists. To alleviate prescription crisis, studies have identified ways taper narcotic dosage use following surgery. role its varying modalities on has yet be reported in literature.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (COVID-19) is a viral disease that predominantly affects the system, but extrapulmonary manifestations have been increasingly reported over course of pandemic. Common include gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and neurological systems, such as diarrhea, rashes, loss smell/taste, myalgia, kidney injury, cardiac arrhythmias, or heart failure. COVID-19 infection associated with an increased risk thromboembolic events, especially in...
The effects of anomalous vasculature impeding optimal exposure to an anterior lumbar interbody fusion approach are limited in literature. We present five individual, unique cases vascular anomalies patients undergoing two-stage anterior-posterior fusion. Cases 1, 2, 4, and 5 have yet be described literature context fusions. Case 3 presents that has only been two other case reports. 1 the right internal iliac vein originating from left common which was transected for L4-L5 vertebral disc...
The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may result in cardiovascular complications such as myocarditis, while encephalitis is a potentially life-threatening COVID-19-associated central nervous system complication. This case illustrates the possibility of developing severe multisystem symptoms from COVID-19 infection, despite having received vaccine within year. Delay treatment for myocarditis and encephalopathy can lead to permanent possibly fatal damage. Our patient,...
Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is the gold-standard adjuvant for patients with superficial or non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. BCG a live attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis, which induces an antitumor environment, effectively fighting malignant uroepithelial cells through cytotoxic reactions. However, may stimulate local disseminated infections. In rare cases, vertebral osteomyelitis arise in thoracolumbar spine, mostly affecting older males. This case...
