There has been increasing evidence and growing popularity of orthobiologic treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate concentrate, and microfragmented adipose tissue. However, real...
In several orthopedic procedures, the accurate use of surgical power tools is critical to avoid damage to surrounding tissues. As such, various guidance techniques and safety measures were developed. ...
Lower extremity wounds associated with fractures and bony defects often require secondary orthopedic procedures after flap coverage has been performed. In this study, we compare complications between ...
Computer-assisted procedures are becoming increasingly more relevant in orthopedics and trauma surgery. The data situation on these systems has improved in recent years but still has a low level of ev...
Standardized surgery rates for common orthopedic procedures vary across geographical areas in Norway. We explored whether area-level factors related to demand and supply in publicly funded healthcare ...
The present study is a cross-sectional population-based study of hospital referral areas in Norway. We included adult admissions for arthroscopy for degenerative knee disease, arthroplasty for osteoar...
Knee arthroscopy showed highest level of variation (SCV 10.3) and decreased in numbers. Variation was considerable for spine surgery (SCV 3.8-4.9), moderate to low for arthroplasty procedures (SCV 0.8...
Arthroscopy for degenerative knee disease decreased in line with guidelines, but showed high variation of surgery rates. Socioeconomic factors included in this study did not explain geographical varia...
Patients who leave against medical advice (AMA) face increased risks of negative health outcomes, presenting a challenge for healthcare systems. This study examines demographic and hospital course fac...
We analyzed 262,912 patients who underwent UE orthopaedic procedures between 2011 and 2020, using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project database. We then compared demographic and hospital course...
Of 262,912 UE orthopaedic patients, 0.45% (1,173) left AMA. Those more likely to leave AMA were aged 30 to 49 (OR, 5.953, P < 0.001), Black (OR, 1.708, P < 0.001), had Medicaid (OR, 3.436, P < 0.001),...
We found that male, Black, younger than 49 years old, Medicaid-insured, and lowest income quartile patients are more likely to leave AMA after UE orthopaedic treatment....
Few reports have described the panorama of orthopedic surgeries that children with cerebral palsy (CP) undergo. We analyzed the risk of a first surgery, and describe the frequency of orthopedic surger...
This was a register-based cohort study of 3,305 individuals followed until 2-25 years of age. We used data from 2 national Swedish registers: the CPUP CP surveillance program and the Swedish National ...
We included data for 3,311 orthopedic operations in 1,717 surgical sessions. The percentage of children operated on before age 15 years increased from 22% (95% CI 19-26) for GMFCS level I to 70% (CI 6...
The risk of having a first orthopedic surgical treatment increased with increasing GMFCS level and was initiated at younger age in children with higher GMFCS level....
Bone cutting is a common and important procedure in surgery. As a type of orthopedic instrument, ultrasonic orthopedic scalpels (UOSs) have been widely used due to their safety and convenience. Theref...
Considering the high rates of opioid usage following orthopedic surgeries, it is important to explore this in the setting of the current opioid epidemic. This study examined acute opioid poisonings in...
Claims for adult patients who received specific orthopedic spine procedures in the outpatient setting were identified from 2009 to 2018 in the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative Syst...
A total of 107,456 spine patients were identified and 321 (0.3%) presented postoperatively to the emergency department with acute opioid poisoning. Increased age [odds ratio (OR)=0.954, P <0.0001] had...
There is a higher than national average rate of acute opioid poisonings following spine procedures and increased risk among those with certain socioeconomic factors. Rates of poisonings decreased foll...
The aim of this study was to describe our experience with ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks performed by pediatric emergency physicians for the purpose of forearm fracture reduc...
We present a case series of 15 pediatric patients aged 7 to 17 years undergoing ultrasound-guided supraclavicular blocks....
All blocks resulted in adequate analgesia. No procedural complications were observed....
We conclude that in select pediatric cases ultrasound-guided brachial plexus blocks can be a safe, swift, and efficient means of pain management and procedural analgesia. This approach obviates the ne...
