Introduction:
Synovial fluid analysis is an important tool in the work-up of suspected periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Yet, there is conflicting guidance for the analysis of synovial fluid aspiration, including a lack of uniform thresholds for white blood cell (WBC) count and neutrophil percentage (PMN%)1-3. Therefore, a multi-institutional study was undertaken to reassess these thresholds, compare preoperative versus intraoperative sample collection, and assess variation in results between institutions.

Surgical Site Infection (SSI) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a rare but devastating complication1. In spite of improvement in the prevention of SSI, these infections are still a significant cause of morbidity in surgical patients2. Management of Hospital Acquired infections (HAI) including SSI poses a huge economic burden on healthcare3. As part of the mission to reduce the burden of HAI, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued guidelines for the prevention of SSI that are currently being updated4. In addition, CDC requires all hospitals to report HAI through the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) surveillance …

Introduction
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful procedure alleviating pain in patients with debilitating arthritis. Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a common complication following surgery and is managed with intermittent or continued urinary catheterization. POUR has been estimated in retrospective literature to be on the order of 5% – 70% of surgical cases with early catheter removal or without a catheter. At our institution, and based on a Level 1 study here, urinary catheter is not used routinely in patients undergoing THA under regional anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of POUR and risk …

The Hand In Art: Hand Of Hope, John S. Taras, Md
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty Papers
The “Hand of Hope” (Fig. 1) statue was commissioned for display in the street-level lobby of my practice, The Philadelphia Hand Center, by its founders, James M. Hunter, MD, and Lawrence H. Schneider, MD. The work became a hallmark of the practice’s former Walnut Street location as well as a recognizable feature of its neighborhood.
After a sojourn of several years residing next to Thomas Eakins’ portrait of the operative theatre in “The Gross Clinic,” at Thomas Jefferson University, the sculpture has returned to grace our office’s lobby in the historic Benjamin Franklin Hotel.

BACKGROUND: An injury to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the elbow is potentially career threatening for elite baseball pitchers. Stress ultrasound (US) of the elbow allows for evaluation of both the UCL and the ulnohumeral joint space at rest and with stress.
HYPOTHESIS: Stress US can identify morphological and functional UCL changes and may predict the risk of a UCL injury in elite pitchers.
STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
METHODS: A total of 368 asymptomatic professional baseball pitchers underwent preseason stress US of their dominant and nondominant elbows over a 10-year period (2002-2012). Stress US examinations …
