Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) affects the ability of an individual to communicate and can negatively impact quality life. The risk orthopaedic surgeons developing NIHL as a result occupational exposures in operating room (OR) is currently unknown. Hearing protection recommended for levels >85 decibels (dB), irrespective length exposure. primary goal present study was determine whether are exposed harmful noise OR that puts them at NIHL. Methods: A prospective review...
The investigation of nonnarcotic drug regimens for postoperative pain management is important in addressing the opioid epidemic. NSAIDs can be a powerful adjunct managing pain, but possibility delayed bone healing major concern orthopaedic surgeons. Our recent retrospective study on ketorolac administration demonstrated that NSAID not associated with an increased risk union or nonunion after ankle fracture surgery.To determine whether (1) reduces consumption, (2) improves VAS control, and...
Background: In an effort to minimize narcotic analgesia and its potential side effects, anti-inflammatory agents offer great provided they do not interfere with bone healing. The safety of ketorolac administration after foot ankle surgery has been well defined in the current literature. purpose this study was report clinical healing radiographic outcomes for patients treated a perioperative regimen open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) fractures. Methods: A retrospective review performed...
Background: Multiple randomized clinical trials failed to show benefit of anticoagulation over antiplatelets in the secondary prevention for embolic stroke undetermined source (ESUS). However, combination antithrombotic regimens remains unexplored same patient population. Methods: This is a subgroup analysis multicenter retrospective observational cohort consecutive adult patients with ESUS (n=27 sites, 2015-2024). Comparisons were made between treated single (SAPT) or dual antiplatelet...
Introduction: Four randomized clinical trials have not demonstrated the superiority of anticoagulation over antiplatelet therapy in prevention recurrent embolic stroke undetermined source (ESUS). In this multicenter observational cohort study, we evaluated long-term outcomes associated with various antithrombotic strategies according to potential sources. Methods: A retrospective consecutive adult patients ESUS was queried (n=27 sites). Comparisons were made between treated single or...
Background: It is known that there are discrepancies between insurance status and access to care for a variety of health conditions. In addition, differences have been shown in initial in-hospital management stroke as well outcomes the acute setting. We sought examine relationship risk recurrent stroke, major bleeding or death following an incident cryptogenic stroke. Methods: Patients with included multicenter (n=27 sites) retrospective observational cohort complete were evaluated primary...
Background The combined effect of fixation type and preoperative deformity together might influence the union rate after first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) arthrodesis. This study aimed to compare nonunion failure dorsal locking plate versus cross-screws for MTP arthrodesis considering deformity, including hallux valgus rigidus. We secondarily observed with in systematic reviews. Methods was a retrospective cohort 372 patients 378 feet. surgical technique identical except use 181 (49%) 191...
Submission Type: Achilles Tendinosis Research Level 3 - Retrospective cohort study, Case-control Meta-analysis of studies Introduction/Purpose: Insertional Tendinopathy (IAT) with calcaneal exostosis, or Haglund deformity (HD), can result in debilitating heel pain. The first course treatment is nonsurgical modalities including physical therapy, shoe wear modification, and injections. While outcomes following surgery for IAT HD have previously been explored, there a paucity literature...
Submission Type: Total Ankle Arthroplasty Research Level 3 - Retrospective cohort study, Case-control Meta-analysis of studies Introduction/Purpose: ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is known for its significant complication and failure rates. This study assesses the Salto Talaris, a fixed-bearing prosthesis inspired by successful mobile-bearing model. We analyze revision rates, survival, early complications, postoperative care, functional outcomes. Methods: conducted retrospective analysis patients...
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between radiographic characteristics retrocalcaneal enthesophytes in insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) and likelihood failing nonoperative management.MethodsA retrospective cohort 200 patients diagnosed IAT with symptomatic were identified separated into operative cohorts.
