Rothman Institute Faculty Papers
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a severe complication that can occur after major orthopedic procedures. As VTE-related morbidity and mortality are a significant concern for both medical professionals and patients, and preventative measures are typically employed. Multiple organizations, including the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) and the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), have developed guidelines for VTE prophylaxis specifically in patients undergoing joint replacement procedures. However, recently, the International Consensus Meeting (ICM) was convened, which brought together over 600 experts from 68 countries and 135 international societies. These experts, spanning a range of medical disciplines including orthopedic surgery, anesthesia, …

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of our study were to (1) determine if physical therapy (PT) impacts patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) after lumbar decompression surgery and (2) determine if PT impacts postsurgical readmissions or reoperations after lumbar decompression surgery.
METHODS: Patients >18 years of age who underwent primary one‑ or two‑level lumbar decompression at our institution were identified. Patient demographics, surgical characteristics, surgical outcomes (all‑cause 90 days readmissions and 90 days surgical readmissions), and patient‑reported outcomes (PROMs) were compared between the groups. Multivariate linear regression was utilized to determine the individual predictors of 90 days readmissions and PROMs at the 1‑year postoperative point. …
The Shared Contributions Of The Capsule, Labrum, And Bone On The Suction Seal Of The Hip, Alexander J. Hoffer
The Shared Contributions Of The Capsule, Labrum, And Bone On The Suction Seal Of The Hip, Alexander J. Hoffer
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The hip capsule, labrum, and bone contribute to hip stability. Abnormalities in these structures are associated with pain and microinstability. Previous studies have quantified the individual stabilizing roles of the capsule and labrum and have associated cam over-resection with decreased hip stability.
The first objective of this thesis was to identify the relative biomechanical contributions of the capsule, labrum, and bone to the hip suction seal, as a representation of hip stability. The second objective was to assess the effectiveness of a labral reconstruction in restoring the suction seal after a cam over-resection.
Ten human cadaveric hips were tested in …

Orthopedic Surgery Resident Research
Nonsurgical management is almost always considered the first-line treatment for the vast majority of foot and ankle pathologies. Foot orthoses, shoe modifications, and therapeutic footwear are considered essential tools for successful conservative management of different foot and ankle disorders. Orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons should have a meticulous understanding of the lower extremity biomechanics as well as the pathoanatomy and the sequelae of diseases affecting the foot and/or ankle. This is essential to the understanding of the desired effects of the different inserts, orthotics, shoe modifications, or braces that may be prescribed for these conditions. In this article, we will …

Terrible Triad In A Pediatric Patient: A Case Report, Colin J. Carroll, Gonzalo Sumarriva, Russell Parks, Caroline Vasco, Ross Dunbar
Western Journal of Orthopaedics
A terrible triad elbow injury consists of an elbow dislocation with associated radial head and coronoid fractures. This type of injury is rare in the pediatric population. In this case, a 14-year-old adolescent male suffered a right-sided terrible triad elbow injury after falling onto his right elbow. He was taken to the operating room for open reduction and internal fixation. The patient is now three years postoperatively with full range of motion of his elbow with no pain and no incidents of dislocation.
A Biomechanical Comparison Of A Subacromial Balloon Spacer, Superior Capsular Reconstruction, And A Rigid Subacromial Spacer In A Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Cadaveric Model, Devin Ferguson
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears are a common cause of pain and disability. Several different treatments exist; however, they are associated with poor clinical outcomes and survivorship in younger patients without glenohumeral arthritis. The purpose of this thesis was to compare the impact of a subacromial balloon spacer, superior capsular reconstruction, and a rigid subacromial implant on the glenohumeral kinematics and mechanical efficiency of a massive rotator cuff deficient shoulder. The results indicate that each surgical state improves the glenohumeral kinematics of a massive irreparable rotator cuff tear. The subacromial implant leads to mild overcorrection of humeral head translation. No …

Not All Patients Need Supervised Physical Therapy After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis., Yash P Chaudhry, Hunter Hayes, Zachary Wells, Efstratios Papadelis, Harpal S Khanuja, Carl Deirmengian
Orthopedic Surgery Resident Research
Although postoperative physical therapy (PT) has long been considered essential to successful total knee arthroplasty (TKA) recovery, recent literature has suggested that unsupervised home exercise regimens may offer similar benefits to formal supervised sessions. We aimed to compare objectively measured physical function and subjective patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between primary TKA patients who received formal supervised physical therapy sessions and those who received unsupervised home exercise regimens after discharge. Six electronic databases were queried to identify randomized controlled trials comparing supervised physical therapy to unsupervised home exercise regimens in primary TKA patients after discharge. Outcomes of interest included change from baseline …

Rothman Institute Faculty Papers
Background: As operative techniques and implant design have evolved over time, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly being carried out for patients with neurological impairment. This patient group places unique surgical challenges to the arthroplasty surgeon, which may include contractures, instability, and altered muscular tone. The purpose of this systematic review is to report the patient outcomes, complications, and implant survival following THA for patients with neurological conditions affecting the hip. Thus, we aim to support orthopaedic surgeon decision-making when considering and planning THA for these patients.
Methods: A systematic review was performed as per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic …
A Long-Term Follow-Up Of The Stability Study: Multicenter Rct Comparing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With And Without Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis In Individuals At High Risk Of Graft Failure, Katelyn M. Inch
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
One hundred and ninety-six patients at the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic (FKSMC) undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) were randomized as part of the multi-center STABILITY study to receive either an isolated ACLR or ACLR with a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET). The STABILITY study followed these patients up to two years postoperative, and a long-term follow-up protocol was initiated afterwards. Eighty-two patients from this center were seen at three, five and seven years postoperative as part of a long-term follow-up. Our primary outcome was a composite outcome of instability and graft failure. Secondary outcomes included patient-reported outcome measures …

Total Hip Arthroplasty In Young Patients, Aaron G. Chen
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the gold standard in treatment of hip arthritis yet is often avoided in young patients due to concerns of inferior survivorship. We aim to explore the role of THA in young patients and assess whether these historical concerns are valid in contemporary THA by presenting the results of: (1) a systematic review and meta-analysis of the current literature, (2) a retrospective database review, and (3) a retrospective population-based study. We found excellent long-term survivorship with modern THA in young patients, demonstrating greater than 90% revision-free survival up to 15 years. Factors that may increase risk …

Orthopedic Surgery Resident Research
Historically, postoperative exercise and physical therapy (PT) have been viewed as crucial to a successful outcome following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess differences in both short- and long-term objective and self-reported measures between primary THA patients with formal supervised physical therapy versus unsupervised home exercises after discharge. A search was conducted of six electronic databases from inception to December 14, 2020, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing changes from baseline in lower extremity strength (LES), aerobic capacity, and self-reported physical function and quality of life (QoL) between supervised and unsupervised physical therapy/exercise …
Biomechanical Characterization Of Semi-Rigid Constructs And The Potential Effect On Proximal Junctional Kyphosis In The Thoracic Spine, Chloe Cadieux
Biomechanical Characterization Of Semi-Rigid Constructs And The Potential Effect On Proximal Junctional Kyphosis In The Thoracic Spine, Chloe Cadieux
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Long spinal fusions are the mainstay of treatment in adult spinal deformity; however, proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a common and potentially catastrophic complication that can occur following this procedure. It has been hypothesized that using semi-rigid constructs at the superior aspect of the instrumentation may decrease this complication. The objective of this thesis was to determine if there is a biomechanical advantage between various semi-rigid constructs utilized in long spinal fusions to help decrease the risk of PJK. Nine human cadaveric spines (T1 – T12) instrumented with the standard all-pedicle-screw construct (APS) were compared to various semi-rigid constructs including …

Does Prehabilitation Prior To Ulnar Collateral Ligament Surgery Affect Return To Sport Rate Or Time In Baseball Players With Partial Ucl Tears?, Joshua Spada, Kourtney Snigar, Ryan W. Paul, Usman Zareef, Anya Hall, Brandon J. Erickson, Michael G. Ciccotti, Stephen J. Thomas
Rowan-Virtua Research Day
Those who suffer a partial thickness ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tear often undergo a period of nonoperative management including physical therapy rehabilitation. This treatment is aimed at optimizing range of motion (ROM) and strengthening the supporting structures around the elbow to help offload the UCL.
Unfortunately, some of these patients fail nonoperative management and require surgical intervention. This creates a unique set of patients who essentially underwent “prehabilitation” prior to their UCL surgery. Prehabilitation is considered a period of structured physical therapy rehabilitation aimed at strengthening structures surrounding an injured tendon or ligament, to allow for dissipation of stress away …

PURPOSE: Studies have shown that bracing is an effective treatment for patients with idiopathic scoliosis. According to the current classification, almost all braces fall in the thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO) category. Consequently, the generalization of scientific results is either impossible or misleading. This study aims to produce a classification of the brace types.
METHODS: Four scientific societies (SOSORT, SRS, ISPO, and POSNA) invited all their members to be part of the study. Six level 1 experts developed the initial classifications. At a consensus meeting with 26 other experts and societies' officials, thematic analysis and general discussion allowed to define the classification …

Multidirectional Instability In Female Athletes, Meghan E. Bishop, Heli Patel, Brandon J. Erickson, Christopher C. Dodson
Multidirectional Instability In Female Athletes, Meghan E. Bishop, Heli Patel, Brandon J. Erickson, Christopher C. Dodson
Rothman Institute Faculty Papers
Multidirectional instability (MDI) of the shoulder is characterized by generalized shoulder capsular laxity and symptomatic shoulder instability in more than one direction with one direction of instability as inferior. Generalized ligamentous laxity and specifically shoulder laxity, has been associated with female athletes. While males are at a higher risk of shoulder instability due to a number of extrinsic risk factors including participation in higher risk contact/collision activities, females are particularly susceptible to MDI due to their association with increased joint laxity. Patients with MDI often have a loose patulous capsule and display altered glenohumeral and scapulothoracic mechanics. The mainstay of …

Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: Evaluating Postoperative Rehabilitation Progress And Return To Sport Readiness, Trevor A. Day
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common cause of non-arthritic hip pain and reduced physical activity in active young adults. It is defined as a motion-related disorder of the hip with a triad of symptoms, clinical signs, and imaging findings that represents symptomatic premature contact between the proximal femur and the acetabulum. There are two anatomical morphologies that can cause FAIS, cam, and pincer, and is a challenging clinical pathology. Patients typically undergo hip arthroscopy to repair damage to the joint and recess the bone causing the impingement. These procedures can result in positive outcomes for the patient, like reduced …

Pain Reduction In Chronic Lumbar Patients Using Spinal Cord Stimulation, David Botros
Theses and Graduate Projects
Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is commonly used to treat chronic neuropathic pain. A common indication for the SCS is failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). There are many interventional approaches to treating lumbar pain; however, the SCS may provide the greatest benefit in terms of health care utilization and overall pain relief to the patient.
Objective: The goal of this paper is to assess the effectiveness of SCS compared to conventional therapies such as physical therapy, oral medications, radiofrequency ablations (RFA), epidural steroid injections (ESI), and intrathecal pain pumps (IT pain pump) in patients with chronic lumbar pain due to …
Seven Deadly Sins Of Volar Distal Radius Fracture Fixation, Allicia O. Imada, Jorge Orbay, Deana Mercer
Seven Deadly Sins Of Volar Distal Radius Fracture Fixation, Allicia O. Imada, Jorge Orbay, Deana Mercer
Western Journal of Orthopaedics
Distal radius fractures are common injuries, accounting for 17.0% of all emergency department visits. Operative treatment is an option when indicated. Volar plating has become the most frequently used mode of fixation. Although fixed angle volar locking plates allow for reliable and stable fixation, complications have been reported. Complications include flexor and extensor tendon rupture, intra-articular screw penetration, malreduction, loss of reduction, carpal tunnel syndrome, implant failure, and complex regional pain syndrome. We propose seven principles to avoid these preventable outcomes and tips to succeed.

Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has shown improved reproducibility and precision in mechanical alignment restoration, with improvement in early functional outcomes and 90-day episode of care cost savings compared to conventional TKA in some studies. However, its value is still to be determined.Current studies of RA-TKA systems are limited by short-term follow-up and significant heterogeneity of the available systems.In today's paradigm shift towards an increased emphasis on quality of care while curtailing costs, providing value-based care is the primary goal for healthcare systems and clinicians. As robotic technology continues to develop, longer-term studies evaluating implant survivorship and complications will determine …
