Research Colloquium
Lower extremity joint pain is a leading cause of disability and immobility in the United States. Movement is Life seeks to educate and empower patients to break the cycle that immobility starts in efforts to improve musculoskeletal and overall emotional and physical wellbeing. Studies in the past have described the correlation that exists between using Movement is Life education materials as well as a home exercise program to improve lower extremity pain and overall health short term but did not account for confounding factors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on health goes beyond patients that …
Femoral Neck Fracture Management In The Young Patient: A Case Review, Luis Berrios, Kevin J. Orellana, Michael Lago, Frank Gerold
Femoral Neck Fracture Management In The Young Patient: A Case Review, Luis Berrios, Kevin J. Orellana, Michael Lago, Frank Gerold
Research Colloquium
Introduction:The optimal management of femoral neck fractures in the young patient remains controversial. Although there are universally accepted principles, there remains some variability in the optimal timing of surgery and method of fixation. In general, surgery should be performed on an urgent or emergent basis when feasible to decrease peri-operative complications, length of stay, and most importantly the ultimate likelihood of avascular necrosis. However, it is important to note that the preference toward a specific method of fixation remains heterogeneous among orthopedic surgeons.(1)
The purpose of this study is to present our preferred technique for treatment of displaced femoral …
Rare Case Of Prosthetic Joint Infection Caused By Salmonella Enterica - A Case Report, Carlos Ramos, Shyama Appareddy, Peter J. Gonzalez
Rare Case Of Prosthetic Joint Infection Caused By Salmonella Enterica - A Case Report, Carlos Ramos, Shyama Appareddy, Peter J. Gonzalez
Research Colloquium
Introduction: Collectively, over 1 million total knee arthroplasties (TKA) and total hip arthroplasties (THA) are performed in the United States each year. In 2010 it was estimated that 1.58% of the United States general population has received a TKA. Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) are the most common indication for a TKA revision1 . In total, S. aureus is responsible for about 50% of all prosthetic joint infections, and about 15% are caused by gram negative pathogens2 .
Objective: This is a case report which describes the presentation and clinical course of a 59-yearold female with Salmonella enterica septic arthritis of …
Assessing Morbidity In Patients With Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (Gtps), Sonia Wadekar, Joel Wells
Assessing Morbidity In Patients With Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (Gtps), Sonia Wadekar, Joel Wells
Research Colloquium
Introduction: Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) continues to be a challenge among orthopedics to rid discomfort for their patients, especially since there are few studies on characterization of GTPS morbidity.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to characterize the morbidity of GTPS in order to aid orthopedics in providing an early diagnosis and better treatment/care options for their patients.
Methods: A total of 156 patients were included from January of 2016 to July of 2020. Refer to Figure 1 for a visual of inclusion criteria. All patient information was taken from first appointment notes, operative notes, chart reviews, and …
Variation In Functional Pelvic Tilt In Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty With Acetabular Dysplasia, Myung-Jin Cha, Joel Wells, Yin Xi, Avneesh Chhabra
Variation In Functional Pelvic Tilt In Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty With Acetabular Dysplasia, Myung-Jin Cha, Joel Wells, Yin Xi, Avneesh Chhabra
Research Colloquium
Purpose: It is important to clarify the link between acetabular dysplasia and pelvic tilt to optimize surgical planning and postoperative outcomes. We sought to investigate functional pelvic tilt in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty with acetabular dysplasia.
Materials & Methods: From 2014 to 2020, pre-operative AP Pelvis X-rays, CT scans, and other patient-specific data such as pelvic tilt, lumbar lordotic angle, etc were collected as part of surgical planning for total hip arthroplasty. From this database, we investigated 678 female patients under the age of 50 that had undergone preoperative standing AP pelvis X-rays. Analysis was performed by investigating how …
Rotator Cuff Injury In The Pediatric Population: A Systematic Review Of Patient Characteristics, Treatment, And Outcomes, Kevin J. Orellana, Kathleen L. Harwood, John G. Horneff 3rd, Joseph J. King, Brendan A. Williams
Rotator Cuff Injury In The Pediatric Population: A Systematic Review Of Patient Characteristics, Treatment, And Outcomes, Kevin J. Orellana, Kathleen L. Harwood, John G. Horneff 3rd, Joseph J. King, Brendan A. Williams
Research Colloquium
Background: Rotator cuff injuries (RCIs), traditionally thought to be an adult-type pathology, have been reported in the pediatric population, but there remains limited evidence regarding this injury pattern in pediatric patients. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature to characterize the epidemiology, injury patterns, treatment modalities, and outcomes for pediatric patients with RCIs.
Methods: A systematic review was performed in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines reviewing Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL databases. Studies reporting imaging confirmed RCIs and treatment outcomes in patientsdemographics, mechanism, injury type and injury location were …
