Technique Of Proximal Pole Scaphoid Fracture Fixation Using A Retrograde Pin Placement But Antegrade Screw Placement: A Case Example, Sirikrishna K. Khalsa, Camille Aubin-Lemay, Deana Mercer

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured bone of the carpal row. Because of its precarious blood supply, scaphoid fractures are predisposed to avascular necrosis (AVN) and nonunion. This is especially true with fractures of the proximal pole. To decrease the risk of nonunion and AVN, surgical treatment of proximal pole scaphoid fractures is recommended, which facilitates fracture consolidation and long-term wrist function. We describe a 16-year-old adolescent boy who presented with a fracture of the proximal pole of the scaphoid, initially managed nonoperatively. Subsequent imaging findings revealed nonunion of the scaphoid bone. For treatment, a percutaneous fixation was chosen …

Rigid Nail Fixation For Treatment Of Femur Fractures In Children Aged 6 To 12 Years: A Review, Brielle Payne Plost, David M. Bennett, Andrew W. Parsons, Matthew G. Wharton

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Although femoral shaft fractures are common in children, treatment using rigid intramedullary nail fixation remains controversial owing to concerns of avascular necrosis (AVN) and disruption of growth of the proximal femur. We examined studies on AVN complications and proximal femur deformity after rigid nail fixation in children aged 6 to 12 years. Of the 13 studies included, nine had no incidents of AVN or clinically significant proximal femur deformity using a greater trochanter entry point. Four studies showed cases of AVN or proximal femoral deformity in patients treated with intramedullary nails through a starting point at or near the piriformis …

Multimodal Analgesia In Orthopaedic Surgery And Presentation Of A Comprehensive Postoperative Pain Protocol: A Review, Christopher L. Shultz, Benjamin D. Packard, Kathryn C. Helmig, Christopher Kurnik, Benjamin S. Albertson, Nathan E. Huff, Gehron P. Treme

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Rising opioid use in the United States has now been termed an epidemic. Opioid use is associated with considerable morbidity, mortality, and cost to the healthcare system. Orthopaedic surgeons play a key role in the opioid epidemic by prescribing postoperative narcotics. Although our understanding of the quantity of narcotics to prescribe postoperatively for analgesia is progressing, there is still a paucity of data focused on routine postoperative pain protocols. The purpose of this article is to review the current options for both opioid and non-opioid analgesia and put forth a multisubspecialty orthopaedic protocol of postoperative pain. On the basis of …

Training Orthopaedic Residents To Formulate Evidence-Based Questions, Jonathan D. Eldredge

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Background: Formulating questions that are both focused and answerable is an essential clinical skill for evidence-based practice (EBP). Possessing this skill can successfully launch research projects. Yet studies have depicted mixed results pertaining to the teaching of question formulation. This report describes introducing orthopaedic residents to question formulation and showcases an accompanying evaluation rubric originally developed for training second-year medical students.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, a total of 23 orthopaedic residents at The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center participated in a 1-hour training. The study included application exercises using an evaluation rubric for learners to assess …

'Nephrogenic' Systemic Fibrosis Is Mediated By Myeloid C-C Chemokine Receptor 2 Dataset, Catherine Do, Viktor Drel, Chunyan Tan, Duck-Yoon Lee, Brent Wagner

The Kidney Institute of New Mexico

This dataset presents results of an in vivo model of gadolinium-based contrast agent-induced systemic fibrosis. Figure 1 demonstrates that gadolinium-based contrast agent treatment induces dermal fibrosis and hypercellularity of the same magnitude in patients afflicted with ‘nephrogenic’ systemic fibrosis. Electron microscopy demonstrated that systemic gadolinium treatment induced the formation of multinucleated giant cells in the dermis laden with electron-dense, mesh-like nanostructures. Scanning transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy revealed that the electron-dense nanoparticles were gadolinium rich. Figure 2 represents the first chimeric model of mice and gadolinium-induced systemic fibrosis (to our knowledge). Lethally-irradiated mice with 5/6 nephrectomy (to model renal …
