Introduction: The novel Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) identified in December 2019 and the associated pandemic has temporarily changed the way that we conduct medicine, allocate resources, and educate resident and fellows. The present investigation is a summary of The University of New Mexico clinical experience managing the sudden surge of critical patients, personal protective equipment management (PPE), and resident education. Methods: We evaluated and analyzed the data related to the COVID-19 pandemic patient load and management in New Mexico, the formation of teams to protect the providers from simultaneous exposure, the resident experience, the PPE management, and the change in …
Osteomalacia In A Young Adult Male Presenting As Chronic Wrist Pain: A Case Report, Daniel Gonzales-Luna, Dean W. Smith
Osteomalacia In A Young Adult Male Presenting As Chronic Wrist Pain: A Case Report, Daniel Gonzales-Luna, Dean W. Smith
Western Journal of Orthopaedics
Chronic wrist pain is a common problem encountered by orthopaedic surgeons, yet osteomalacia is rarely considered in the differential diagnosis in the United States. We present a case involving a 37-year-old man who experienced bilateral wrist pain and weakness for more than 2 years. Further investigation revealed a history of chronic leg pain, low serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels, and decreased bone density. He was diagnosed with osteomalacia and treated with vitamin D supplementation and increased sun exposure. At 6 months follow-up, the patient had resolution of his pain and normalized vitamin D levels. To our knowledge, the literature has …
Identification And Management Of Injuries Associated With Femoral Shaft Fracture, Brian N. Hodges, Thomas A. Decoster
Identification And Management Of Injuries Associated With Femoral Shaft Fracture, Brian N. Hodges, Thomas A. Decoster
Western Journal of Orthopaedics
Femoral shaft fractures are common injuries typically due to high-energy trauma. Injuries associated with femoral shaft fractures include ipsilateral femoral neck fractures, ipsilateral distal femur fractures, ipsilateral patella fractures, ipsilateral tibial shaft fractures, ipsilateral knee ligament injuries, acetabular and pelvis fractures, and small bone fractures. These injuries can go unnoticed, and it is important to recognize and treat these injuries accordingly.
Side-By-Side Comparison Of 4-Strand Versus 5-Strand Hamstring Graft Diameters In Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Dustin L. Richter, Michael Hopson, Tony Pedri, Gehron P. Treme
Side-By-Side Comparison Of 4-Strand Versus 5-Strand Hamstring Graft Diameters In Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Dustin L. Richter, Michael Hopson, Tony Pedri, Gehron P. Treme
Western Journal of Orthopaedics
Background: Hamstring (HS) graft size is an independent risk factor in determining outcomes related to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Although anthropometric correlations with HS tendon size have been studied, a predictable association with resultant graft size has not been established. This study directly compares the difference in diameter between a 4-strand (4S) and 5-strand (5S) HS autograft in the same patient. Methods: A total of 31 consecutive patients undergoing ACLR with HS autograft were included in the study. The gracilis and semitendinosus tendons were harvested for each patient. The diameters and lengths of a standard 4S HS graft followed …
