Mashup Score: 0Evaluating the 2023 Standardized Letter of Recommendation... : JAAOS - Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons - 12 day(s) ago
suffered from notable rank inflation ultimately requiring introduction of an updated SLOR for the 2023 to 2024 application cycle. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the 2023 SLOR improves on deficiencies of the 2017 SLOR. Methods: Applications submitted to our institution during the 2023 to 2024 orthopaedic surgery residency application cycle were analyzed. Applicant objective metrics were collected, including US Medical Licensing Exam scores, clerkship grades, AΩA status, and research productivity. Scores for each domain of the 2023 SLOR forms were recorded. Mean scores were calculated for each question, and cumulative scores per SLOR were determined. Intraclass correlation coefficients were determined per applicant and evaluator. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was calculated for comparison of SLOR cumulative scores and objective metrics. Results: Three hundred sixty-eight applications were reviewed, and 743 2023 SLORs were submitted in conjunction with these

garding optimal choice as patient, provider, and institutional factors often play a role. With general anesthesia alone becoming less utilized, regional methods require critical examination. Knowledge of the differing, and novel, regional anesthetic procedures in conjunction with recent orthopaedic and anesthetic literature is imperative to providing patients with optimal and efficient care….

Mashup Score: 0Positive Deviance and Exploring the Role of Mental Health... : JAAOS - Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons - 14 day(s) ago
o achieve positive outcomes despite having risk factors, known as positive deviants, may help identify protective characteristics and decrease health disparities among this growing population of patients. Using preoperative Mental Health T-scores (MHT) from the PROMIS-10 Global Health questionnaire among patients with a mental illness diagnosis, the purpose of this study was to explore whether patients with above-average MHT, or positive deviants, experienced a different immediate postoperative recovery path compared with patients with below-average MHT. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of patients undergoing elective primary THA. Patients with a formal diagnosis of a mental health condition were divided based on their MHT (above average [AA] >50, average [A] 40 to 50, below average [BA] <40). Postsurgical parameters included total opioid consumption, self-reported pain scores, and discharge disposition. Results: A total of 299 patients were analyzed. After controlling fo

Mashup Score: 11The Association Between Surgeon Volume and Dislocation... : JAAOS - Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons - 15 day(s) ago
base was queried for adult primary elective THA patients from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2019. Annual surgeon volume and 90-day risk of dislocation were modeled using multivariable logistic regression with restricted cubic splines. Bootstrap analysis identified a threshold annual case volume, corresponding to the maximum decrease in dislocation risk. Surgeons with an annual volume greater than the threshold were deemed high volume, and those with an annual volume less than the threshold were low volume. Each surgeon within a given year was treated as a unique entity (surgeon-year unit). 90-day complications of patients treated by high-volume and low-volume surgeons were compared. Results: From 2016 to 2019, 352,131 THAs were performed by 5,106 surgeons. The restricted cubic spline model demonstrated an inverse relationship between risk of dislocation and surgeon volume (threshold: 109 cases per year). A total of 9,967 (87.8%) low-volume surgeon-year units had individual dislocati

or gastrointestinal consequences occur. Perioperative disturbances in electrolyte concentration can lead to increased morbidity and mortality, longer length of stay, and higher rates of short and medium-term readmission in orthopaedic and spine surgery postoperatively. To prevent electrolyte related complications, careful monitoring and repletion of at-risk patients must be undertaken. A systematic approach to repletion allows for a safe and efficacious treatment of these disorders….

nation are critical in the diagnosis of UCL injury and understanding patient goals and expectations. In carefully selected patients, nonsurgical management, including rest and slow progression back to activities, can result in successful return to sport. Recent literature has suggested that administration of platelet-rich plasma may be effective in aiding in the healing process, particularly in proximal and partial-thickness tears; however, additional study is warranted. UCL reconstruction has been the benchmark for tears not amendable to nonsurgical treatment, with flexor-pronator complex preservation being important. UCL repair has historically been most commonly used in partial avulsions, but indications have yet to be completely well defined. Knowledge regarding appropriate UCL treatment continues to evolve with patient-specific treatment being essential….
