Background: Ankle fractures are one of the most common orthopedic injuries, and although patients have a satisfactory outcome following operative fixation, there that persistent pain despite anatomic reduction. Intra-articular injuries been suggested as potential cause these suboptimal outcomes. Our study assesses clinical impact performing an ankle arthroscopy during fracture open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). Methods: This was retrospective chart review all who underwent bimalleolar...
Outpatient orthopedic surgery is becoming more common as a method of providing safe and cost-effective medical care. The purpose this study was to compare outcomes between adult patients undergoing outpatient versus inpatient brachial plexus surgery. A single institution database queried for with injuries exploration or without concomitant reconstructive procedures from 2010 2022. Outcome measures included 90-day major minor complications, well longer term pain scores reoperation rates....
Vohwinkel syndrome is a rare, inherited condition marked by defective keratinization. The disorder may feature digital constriction bands (pseudoainhum) which can lead to autoamputation. Surgical excision the only treatment of pseudoainhum; however, it fraught with recurrence. We present 10-year-old boy pseudoainhum right long and small fingers at distal interphalangeal joints. He underwent 180-degree band z-plasty.
Transition to outpatient surgery has grown with an emphasis on delivery of safe, high-quality medical care. The purpose this study is compare 90-day emergency department (ED) visits, readmissions, and complications between patients undergoing versus inpatient pollicization surgery. A single institution database was queried for primary thumb from 2010 2022 in under 18 years age. Standard demographic data, comorbidities, surgical information, discharge disposition were collected. Primary...
Stress fractures of the tarsal navicular bone can be problematic in athlete. This case details injury and outcome an adolescent male athlete who experienced one year intermittent foot pain without acute trauma. Radiographs computed tomography demonstrated a triad stress fracture, os supranaviculare, osteochondral defect bone. The patient underwent successful operative fixation returned to painless full function with imaging demonstrating healing at six months. Diagnosis fracture setting both...
Objectives: The potential applications of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in orthopedics are vast, yet there remain many unanswered questions regarding the use PRP for treatment soft tissue pathologies. For tendon injuries, is strong evidence recommending leukocyte-rich (LR-PRP) lateral epicondylitis and promising patellar tendinopathy rotator cuff injuries (1-4). Apart from these conditions, supporting routine tendinopathies mixed or lacking standardization. Proximal hamstring (PHT) a common...
Background: Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) is a well-established surgical intervention for the treatment of hip dysplasia. Purpose: Our primary objective was to assess whether group young flexibility athletes who underwent PAO dysplasia recovered their pre-operative range motion (ROM) within 1 year surgery. secondary compare ROM recovery between and non-flexibility Results: In our study, 100% regained preoperative external rotation at 1-year post-operation. This also first plane return in...
Category: Ankle; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Achilles tendon ruptures are a common ankle injury, predominantly affecting young, active, and athletic populations. Surgical repair is often favored in healthy active individuals due to decreased re-rupture rates. Both open minimally invasive percutaneous techniques have been described with excellent outcomes reduced rates of compared non-surgical treatment. However, little research has focused on the impact time-to-surgery complications, re-...
Category: Arthroscopy; Ankle; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Ankle fractures are one of the most common types fractures, yet there is currently no consensus about how best to treat these patients. The treatment approach typically includes open reduction-internal fixation (ORIF), but not all patients have a good clinical outcome. Intra-articular injuries been suggested as potential cause sub-optimal outcomes. Use arthroscopy at time surgery useful in identifying intra-articular lesions acute...
Category: Trauma; Ankle; Hindfoot; Sports Introduction/Purpose: Achilles tendon ruptures are challenging injuries and complications following repair surgery can lead to poor patient outcomes. The objective of this study was determine if time an open versus closed surgical technique were related postoperative complications. We hypothesized that increased would correlate with increase in Methods: One hundred ninety-four patients at a single institution who underwent rupture between October...
