Notable Findings Of A Preparticipation Examination In An 18-Year-Old Volleyball Player: A Case Report, Stuart J. Lisle, Christopher A. Mcgrew

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

The preparticipation examination (PPE) is commonly performed to screen for potentially detrimental health conditions in competitive athletes to help decrease rates of morbidity and mortality associated with participation in sports. However, the significant clinical impact of PPE in the United States has yet to be determined. We describe an 18-year-old female athlete who presented with dizziness and a right-sided limp at 8 days after initial injury. Findings of PPE examination indicated that she had unknowingly sustained a concussion during a volleyball match and continued to play, which resulted in injury to the right foot. Despite abnormal findings of magnetic resonance …

Spare-Parts Technique For Concurrent Treatment Of Ectrodactyly Of The Feet And Syndactyly Of The Hands In A 2-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report, Brielle K. Payne, Mary E. Logue, Selina R. Silva, Deana M. Mercer

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Syndactyly is the most frequently occurring congenital malformation of the limbs. Although common, few studies have reported treating syndactyly using Z-plasty with and without full-thickness grafting. We present a 2-year-old boy who presented to our clinic with ectrodactyly of the feet and simple complete syndactyly of two fingers on each hand. After ectrodactyly reconstruction, we used the excess foot skin to cover finger defects. The patient recovered well postoperatively, with matching skin and no trouble with hair growth. Use of a spare-parts technique can help avoid complications associated with harvesting grafts from other donor sites. The results reinforce the importance …

Comparison Of Blood Loss Between Short-Stem And Conventional Femoral Implants In Total Hip Arthroplasty, Sean Kuehn, Drew K. Newhoff, Dukens Labaze, Aditi S. Majumdar, Rick J. Gehlert

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Background: Although the postoperative results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) are generally successful, the standard technique and implant design have many proposed modifications. The purpose of the current study was to determine if using short-stem femoral implants minimized the intraoperative blood loss during THA when compared with conventional THA.

Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent THA using short-stem and conventional femoral implants between 2009 and 2013 were reviewed. Patients with previous surgical procedures for treating the acetabulum or proximal femur and patients without reported hematocrit levels were excluded; subsequently, a total of 53 patients for each group (short-stem …
