Surgeon shares lessons on mental health, leadership learned from COVID-19 pandemic
Reflecting on changes in his practice due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a speaker said his perspective of mental health is different now and he has developed an increased appreciation of leadership. Read more.
Presenter: High failure rates of irrigation, debridement alone do not support its use
Periprosthetic joint infection treated with debridement, antibiotics, irrigation and implant retention resulted in a three times higher failure rate than when these measures were used along with modular component exchange. Read more.
Intra-articular injection modalities have varying effects in patients with knee OA
Platelet-rich plasma injections provided pain relief for osteoarthritic knees for up to 1 year after treatment, based on a systematic literature review. Read more.
Survey: Program effectively recruits female students into orthopedic career pipeline
About 90% of 9,207 high school students who participated in the Perry Outreach Program between 2009 and summer 2021 matriculated into college STEM majors. Read more.
Arthroscopic Bankart repair, remplissage may lower recurrent instability, dislocation risk
Arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage showed a lower risk of recurrent instability and dislocation in patients with recurrent shoulder instability compared with Bankart repair alone. Read more.
Simultaneous bilateral total ankle arthroplasty seen as comparable to staged procedure
Under surgeon expertise in appropriately selected patients, simultaneous bilateral total ankle arthroplasty has comparable outcomes with the staged procedure for patients with bilateral end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. Read more.
Vitamin D deficiency linked with poor outcomes in patients with shoulder instability
Vitamin D deficiency was associated with decreased bone density, more severe bone defects and poor overall outcomes in patients with recurrent traumatic shoulder instability. Read more.
Speaker: Aspirin is an acceptable thromboprophylaxis agent in orthopedic trauma patients
Aspirin as a thromboprophylaxis agent was noninferior to low-molecular-weight heparin for all-cause mortality in patients with extremity, pelvic or acetabular fractures. Read more.
Access to early surgery may differ among patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries
Results presented at the North American Spine Society Annual Meeting showed access to early surgery may not be equal among patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries. Read more.
Hand surgeons can take simple steps to achieve sustainability and savings in OR, clinic
Using smaller instrument sets and fewer disposable products can lower the cost of hand surgery cases and make these more sustainable procedures. Read more.
Subspecialty-trained surgeons have greater success with infection eradication for TKA
Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention was more successful when performed by a fellowship-trained adult joint reconstruction surgeon compared with a non-fellowship-trained surgeon. Read more.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning may identify TJA implants prior to revisions
Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Machine Learning Laboratory trained deep learning artificial intelligence algorithms to correctly identify arthroplasty implants from plain radiographs. Read more.
Advances in perioperative management drive paradigm shift in the ‘outpatient era’
Optimization and pragmatic thinking can improve the patient experience and help surgeons transition from a “sick-patient” model to a “well-patient” model in the era of outpatient total hip and knee arthroplasty. Read more.
