Aspirin May Be a Suitable Prophylaxis for Patients with a History of Venous Thromboembolism Undergoing Total Joint Arthroplasty J. Bone Joint. Surg. (IF 6.558) Pub Date : 2022-08-17 Leanne Ludwick, Noam Shohat, Duncan Van Nest, Joseph Paladino, Jonathan Ledesma, Javad Parvizi
Background: In recent years, aspirin has become a popular agent for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Yet patients with a history of VTE are often given more aggressive prophylactic agents because of their increased baseline risk. The purpose of this study was to assess whether aspirin is an effective prophylactic agent in patients with a history of

Pain Catastrophizing Predicts Opioid and Health-Care Utilization After Orthopaedic Surgery: A Secondary Analysis of Trial Participants with Spine and Lower-Extremity Disorders J. Bone Joint. Surg. (IF 6.558) Pub Date : 2022-08-17 Daniel I. Rhon, Tina A. Greenlee, Patricia K. Carreño, Jeanne C. Patzkowski, Krista B. Highland
Background: Most individuals undergoing elective surgery expect to discontinue opioid use after surgery, but many do not. Modifiable risk factors including psychosocial factors are associated with poor postsurgical outcomes. We wanted to know whether pain catastrophizing is specifically associated with postsurgical opioid and health-care use. Methods: This was a longitudinal cohort study of trial

Experiences of Canadian Female Orthopaedic Surgeons in the Workplace: Defining the Barriers to Gender Equity J. Bone Joint. Surg. (IF 6.558) Pub Date : 2022-08-17 Laurie A. Hiemstra, Sarah Kerslake, Marcia Clark, Claire Temple-Oberle, Erin Boynton
Background: Only 13.6% of orthopaedic surgeons in Canada are women, even though there is nothing inherent to the practice of orthopaedic surgery that favors men over women. Clearly, there is a need to identify, define, and measure the barriers faced by women in orthopaedic surgery. Methods: An electronic survey was distributed to 330 female-identifying Canadian orthopaedic surgeons and trainees and

The Influence of Surgeon Sex on Adverse Events Following Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Register-Based Study of 11,993 Procedures and 200 Surgeons in Swedish Public Hospitals J. Bone Joint. Surg. (IF 6.558) Pub Date : 2022-08-03 Per Jolbäck, Cecilia Rogmark, Camila Bedeschi Rego De Mattos, Antonia F. Chen, Emma Nauclér, Georgios Tsikandylakis
Background: Stereotypes may prevail, but little is known about the influence that the sex of an orthopaedic surgeon may have on outcomes. In a recently published study, there were no differences in the rate of adverse events following total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed by female or male orthopaedic surgeons. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether there was any difference

Dolatowski, Wender Figved, Jūratė Šaltytė Benth, Stein Erik Utvåg
Background: The optimal treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in patients 55 to 70 years old remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of closed reduction and internal fixation with cannulated screws (IF) compared with total hip arthroplasty (THA) on hip pain and function, with use of data for outcome measures, complications, and reoperations.

Background: The diagnosis of periprosthetic shoulder infection (PSI) in patients with a painful arthroplasty is challenging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be helpful, but shoulder implant-induced metal artifacts degrade conventional MRI. Advanced metal artifact reduction (MARS) improves the visibility of periprosthetic bone and soft tissues. The purpose of our study was to determine the reliability

The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability (WOSI) questionnaire is a 21-item questionnaire to evaluate quality of life in patients with shoulder instability. Completing the questionnaire is time-consuming because each item is evaluated on a visual analog scale. Telephone or email versions of the score are appealing alternatives to administering it during the standard in-person patient visit; however

What Is the Long-term Survivorship of Primary and Revision Cemented Distal Femoral Replacements for Limb Salvage of Patients With Sarcoma? Clin. Orthop. Relat. Res. (IF 4.755) Pub Date : 2022-08-08 Erik J Geiger, Michael T Arnold, Christopher M Hart, Danielle Greig, Rishi Trikha, Troy Sekimura, Jeffrey J Eckardt, Nicholas M Bernthal
Cemented endoprosthetic reconstruction after resection of primary bone sarcomas has been in common use for decades. Although multiple studies have reported the survivorship of primary endoprostheses, implant survivorship after revision surgery is less well established. Given that earlier advances in systemic therapy improved survival of patients with sarcoma, the usage of revision endoprostheses can

The First Description of Acute Compartment Syndrome, by Al-Zahrawi. J. Bone Joint. Surg. (IF 6.558) Pub Date : 2022-08-04 Arash Aslanabadi,Zakieh Zare,Majid Aslanabadi
Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is defined as increased pressure within a confined compartmental space, leading to a decline in the perfusion pressure of the tissue within that compartment. To date, the commonly held belief has been that ACS was first described by Richard von Volkmann in 1881. However, we propose that ACS was originally described by Abul Qasim Al-Zahrawi approximately 900 years earlier

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common complication after elbow trauma and can cause severe upper limb disability. Although multiple prognostic factors have been reported to be associated with the development of post-traumatic HO, no model has yet been able to combine these predictors more succinctly to convey prognostic information and medical measures to patients. Therefore, this study aimed to
