Effective postoperative care is crucial for the success of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and prevention unnecessary emergency department (ED) visits. We explore feasibility acceptability utilizing an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) to enhance monitoring in primary TJA patients. This pilot study was conducted with 24 participants undergoing randomly assigned intervention group receiving IVRS calls (n=12) or a control standard follow-up. Feasibility were assessed through patient...

Septic arthritis is a rare and serious condition that often occurs in the setting of comorbidities. This report discusses unique case septic 78-year-old male with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) coronary artery disease, complicated by bacteremia methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). The patient presented swollen, painful right knee requiring arthroscopic washout. Despite treatment antibiotics surgery, course was recurrent infection cognitive decline, ultimately linked...

BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a foundational procedure fortreating end- stage osteoarthritis. However, variability in patient outcom es persists, necessitating innovative approaches. Advances surgical robotics, augm ented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), and precision im plant technologies are transform ing TKA, offering proved accuracy, recovery, overall satisfaction. These advancem ents address the com plexity of anatom ical high-risk cases, paving way for m...

Abstract Objectives: To examine fracture patterns and surgical data to assess radiographic outcomes complications after open reduction internal fixation of navicular fractures. Methods: Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: A single level 1 trauma center. Patient Participants: Patients who underwent operative treatment a fracture. exclusion criteria included nonoperative management, less than 6 months follow-up, patients younger 18 years, or if they fusion at index operation....

Background: The stability of the hindfoot greatly relies on integrity talonavicular joint. Pathologies affecting this joint often necessitate fusion. Our study explores risks posed to neurovascular and tendon structures during simulated percutaneous preparation for Methods: In 9 fresh cadaver specimens, was accessed through two portals. A 2-mm Shannon burr employed surface with distraction provided by a pin-based distractor. Dissections were performed assess potential damage critical...

Introduction: Peripheral nerve injury with neuroma formation is a painful consequence of surgical interventions and acute trauma. The superficial peroneal (SPN) susceptible to damage, common following lateral ankle surgery. Conservative treatments often fail provide relief, leading intervention decisions. Surgical techniques for managing SPN neuromas vary, including excision, transposition, grafting. This report discusses technique involving cauterization, burial into the peroneus brevis...

Bunionette deformity is an incredibly pervasive issue in our society with almost a quarter of individuals being affected by it. As it so common, there are numerous techniques and approaches to correct the deformity. Currently, growing trend that favors percutaneous osteotomy bunionette. multiple sites, anatomical considerations must be made at each one. The purpose this study was investigate anatomic structures risk during distal bunionette using Shannon burr. Using 11 fresh cadaver...

Objective: Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) with hindfoot varus is a common condition that can be treated various surgical approaches. The Broström-Gould procedure the gold-standard surgery for CLAI, and sliding lateralizing calcaneal osteotomy (SLCO) CLAI varus. purpose of this paper to describe single-incision approach repair concomitant peroneal tendon debridement an SLCO. Patients Methods: study retrospectively reviewed 189 cases ligamentous SLCO between 2011 2020. Of these, 53...

Category: Trauma; Ankle Introduction/Purpose: The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect time-to-surgery following closed ankle fractures on long- term patient reported outcomes, fracture healing, and wound complications. To date, little research has been done focusing impact “time definitive fixation” outcomes. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis 215 records who underwent open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) for an from July 2011 2018. A total 86 patients completed...

Category: Hindfoot; Sports Introduction/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate five-year patient-reported outcomes following the Broström- Gould procedure for treatment CAI in general population. This first utilizing PROMIS and FAAM scores at a minimum followup five years will provide valuable insight into long term efficacy BG procedure. Additionally, our regression analysis portrays information on which individual patient factors independently influence reported outcome...

Study Design: Retrospective review. Objective: To use opportunistic computed tomography (CT) screening to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) in patients presenting with spinal fractures and rate identification treatment at our institution. Background: OP remains a highly underdiagnosed undertreated disease. Opportunistic abdominopelvic CT scans offer feasible, accessible, cost-effective tool for OP. Methods: review 519 as trauma activation emergency department Level 1 Trauma...

Solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) is a proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells found in solitary osteolytic lesion. These lesions can present as either pain or pathological fracture. We this interesting case 63-year-old male that was to have confined the femoral neck following presentation After surgical resection and biopsy, we placed distally fixating hemiarthroplasty. To our knowledge, there only one other reported fracture due plasmacytoma.

Category: Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is a debilitating condition that common in the United States. Triple arthrodesis (TA) treatment option reserved for advanced disease. Evidence on patient outcomes following this procedure remains limited. This study aims to report patient-reported TA via reported outcome measurement information systems (PROMIS). Secondary are delineate any demographics or characteristics significantly impact PROMIS scoring....
