Efficacy Of A Novel Examination Maneuver In Diagnosing Meniscal Pathology, Eric J. Freeh, Ryan Lurtsema

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

In this retrospective study we examine the effectiveness of the here named “Twist test” in diagnosing meniscal pathology. In preparation for this study, a literature review was conducted to look at commonly used “gold standard” exam maneuvers utilized in the diagnosis of meniscal lesions. The data from these studies was used as comparisons against the twist test. Medical records of patients who underwent knee arthroscopy from the 2013 calendar year were pulled and assessed for positive or negative Twist test results. These results were then correlated with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and more definitively, arthroscopic findings. With this data, we …

Congenital Scoliosis: A Retrospective Chart Review, Antony Kalllur, Azadeh F. Fotouhie, Skye C. King

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Background: The etiology, severity and prognosis of congenital scoliosis depend on multiple factors, with limited data in the literature. There is also limited data on surgical correction based on the underlying vertebral anomaly. Given the progressive nature of the disease and eventual need for surgical intervention, the study was designed to obtain more data, assess disease presentation and progression in relation to environmental and physical characteristics, and evaluate surgical predictors to elucidate the disease and understand its prognosis in relation to various factors.

Methods: Using a retrospective chart review, we created a database for patients with congenital scoliosis seen at …

Multiple Epidural Steroid Injections And Body Mass Index Linked With Occurrence Of Epidural Lipomatosis: A Case Series., Rafael Jaimes, Angelo G. Rocco

Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND:

Epidural lipomatosis (EL) is an increase of adipose tissue, normally occurring in the epidural space, sufficient to distort the thecal sac and compress neural elements. There is a lack of knowledge of risk factors, impact on patient's symptoms, and its possible association with epidural steroid injections.

METHODS:

History, physical examination, patient chart, and MRI were analyzed from 856 outpatients referred for epidural steroid injections. Seventy patients with signs of EL on MRI comprised the study group. Thirty-four randomly selected patients comprised the control group. The severity of EL was determined by the MRI assessment. The impact of EL was …

A Clinical Pathway For Total Shoulder Arthroplasty-A Pilot Study, A. K. Goon, D. M. Dines, E. V. Craig, M. A. Gordon, E. A. Goytizolo, Y. Lin, E. Lin, J. T. Yadeau

Journal Articles

BACKGROUND: Appropriate pain management after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) facilitates rehabilitation and may improve clinical outcomes.; QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: This prospective, observational study evaluated a multimodal analgesia clinical pathway for TSA.; METHODS: Ten TSA patients received an interscalene nerve block (25cm(3) 0.375% ropivacaine) with intraoperative general anesthesia. Postoperative analgesia included regularly scheduled non-opioid analgesics (meloxicam, acetaminophen, and pregabalin) and opioids on demand (oral oxycodone and intravenous patient-controlled hydromorphone). Patients were evaluated twice daily to assess pain, anterior deltoid strength, handgrip strength, and sensory function.; RESULTS: The nerve block lasted an average of 18h. Patients had minimal pain after surgery; 0 (median score …

Effect Of Graft Choice On The Outcome Of Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction In The Multicenter Acl Revision Study (Mars) Cohort, R. W. Wright, L. J. Huston, A. K. Haas, K. P. Spindler, S. K. Nwosu, C. R. Allen, A. F. Anderson, D. E. Cooper, E. B. Hershman, J. J. York, +83 Additional Authors

Journal Articles

Background: Most surgeons believe that graft choice for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is an important factor related to outcome; however, graft choice for revision may be limited due to previously used grafts. Hypotheses: Autograft use would result in increased sports function, increased activity level, and decreased osteoarthritis symptoms (as measured by validated patient-reported outcome instruments). Autograft use would result in decreased graft failure and reoperation rate 2 years after revision ACL reconstruction. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: Patients undergoing revision ACL reconstruction were identified and prospectively enrolled by 83 surgeons at 52 sites. Data collected …
