The aim of this study is to determine the possible effects of COVID-19 on the number of total hip arthroplasty (THA) hospitalizations and hospital outcomes using a large database. We conducted a retrospective analysis of data gathered and stored in the California State Inpatient Database (SID) during 2019 and 2020. All THA hospitalizations ≥18 yr that occurred in 2019 and 2020 and COVID-19 hospitalizations that occurred in 2020 were used for the analysis. The primary outcomes of the study were trends in THA hospitalizations between 2019 and 2020. Secondary outcomes were mortality, surgical, medical, and other complications, and prolonged length of stay. A total of 36,760 and 20,243 THA hospitalizations occurred during 2019 and 2020, respectively. Trends in THA hospitalizations during 2019 and 2020 showed that the rates of these hospitalizations were substantially lower throughout 2020. Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds of mortality (odds ratio [OR], 2.77; 95% CI, 1.38-5.53), surgical complications (OR,1.61; 95% CI, 1.36-1.89), medical complications (OR,1.27; 95% CI, 1.20-1.33), other complications (OR,1.42; 95% CI, 1.19-1.69), and prolonged length of stay (OR,1.10; 95% CI, 1.05-1.16) were significantly higher during 2020. Our findings show that during COVID-19 pandemic THA hospitalizations were prioritized based on case severity. By the end of 2020 THA hospitalizations did not steeply decrease in numbers compared to the advent of the pandemic, indicating that orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare professionals functioned optimally even during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":10732,"journal":{"name":"Current Orthopaedic Practice","volume":"48 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139203811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study objective was to evaluate the relationship between program rankings and characteristics of their leadership. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, Doximity, and program-specific websites were queried, identifying 193 programs and 426 leaders for analysis. Leadership positions evaluated included: Chairs, Vice Chairs, Program Directors, and Assistant Program Directors. Residency programs were categorized into tiers based on 2022-2023 Doximity reputation ranking. Program ranking was stratified as follows: Tier 1 (rank 1-50, highest-ranking programs), Tier 2 (rank 51-100), Tier 3 (rank 101-150), and Tier 4 (rank 151-201, lowest-ranking programs). Leaders were described according to demographics, training, research productivity, and experience. A total of 426 leaders at 193 programs were included. The average number of leadership positions per program was 2.2±1.0. Higher-tier programs had more leadership positions and were more likely to have chairpeople (P<0.001). They also had a larger proportion of women leaders (P=0.023), although only 11.2% of leaders overall were women. Residency training outside the US did not vary across tiers (P=0.881). Higher-tier leaders were more likely to complete fellowship (P<0.001) and specialize in pediatrics, oncology, and spine (P<0.032), although trauma was the most common specialty among leaders regardless of ranking. Program rank correlated strongly with program size (number of residents) (r2=−0.69) and weakly with leadership h-index (r2=−0.33) and research documents (r2=−0.40). Rank did not correlate with years in practice (r2=0.06), years until attaining a leadership position (r2=0.06), or years in present leadership position (r2=0.07). Program ranking correlated with the number of leaders and residents, as well as research productivity, but not with years of experience or training within the US. Top-tier programs have a higher proportion of women leaders, although the overall number is still low.","PeriodicalId":10732,"journal":{"name":"Current Orthopaedic Practice","volume":"5 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139269565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This is an observational and retrospective study. The sample consisted of 252 patients, 68 receiving CI (27.0%) and 184 receiving PSI (73.0%). The functional variables of the study were: knee pain, passive flexion and extension, gait distance and the domains of the WOMAC index. Results: The CRT method identified that the only explanatory variable that contributed to the highest functioning in the CI group (13.2 in the WOMAC) was pain in the third month with a value ≤2.5 in the visual analog scale (VAS). In the PSI group, the variable that best explained functioning was pain in the first postoperative month (VAS ≤4.5), with the best functional result (2.8 in WOMAC) referring to the patients who walked >320.5 m in the 6-minute walk test in the first month and who had flexion of >112.5 in the third month. Conclusions: Feeling pain is the variable with the most significant explanatory power for the results achieved in functioning at the third month, regardless of the arthroplasty instrumentation employed. Moving the knee in higher flexion ranges and obtaining higher mean values of gait speed also positively influences functioning in patients subjected to PSI.","PeriodicalId":10732,"journal":{"name":"Current Orthopaedic Practice","volume":"53 38","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134993792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study compares short-term clinical outcomes, complication rates, and operative times between these two groups. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts for demographic data, comorbidities, operating time, revisions, and complications of patients who underwent RA and conventional THA. Patient-reported outcomes were collected via OBERD database at the following timepoints: preoperatively, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year postoperatively. Descriptive statistics and mixed multivariate regression analyses were used to analyze data. Results: Two hundred ten patients were included (n=149 conventional, n=61 RA). Patients with RA THAs were younger than those with conventional THAs (59 years, IQR: 53-66 and 64 years, IQR: 58-71; P =.002). The operative time was longer for the RA compared to the conventional group (106 minutes, IQR: 92-120 and 92 minutes, IQR: 82-109, respectively, P =< .001). There was no statistically significant difference in SF-12 mental scores, SF-12 physical scores, or OHS between RA and conventional THA at different timepoints. Additionally, there was no statistically significant difference in complication and revision rates between the two groups. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that there were no statistically significant differences in patient-reported outcomes between the RA versus conventional THA groups. Furthermore, our findings suggest a lack of significant differences in complication or revision rates. Surgeons performing robot-assisted surgeries for hip replacements can reasonably expect patient outcomes that are, at a minimum, as successful as the conventional counterparts.","PeriodicalId":10732,"journal":{"name":"Current Orthopaedic Practice","volume":" 22","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135292275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These types of injuries are different from isolated acetabular or pelvic injuries regarding injury severity scores, haemodynamic status, blood transfusion requirements, and higher mortality rates up to 13%. Both Letournel and Matta have definitively shown that anatomic reduction of the fracture is the most influential factor predictive of clinical outcome. The ability of obtaining anatomical reduction is affected by age, fracture pattern, associated injuries, patient general condition, timing to surgery and complications. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: It is a retrospective study among 24 patients performed in Zagazig university hospitals between May 2017 and February 2019. Matta scoring system was used to quantify the radiological outcome of both acetabular and pelvic components while, both Majeed and Merle d’Aubigné were used for clinical grading at the final follow up. Timing to surgery was found to affect the quality of reduction significantly. Results: We divided our cases into 2 groups; First group including the patients underwent operative management from day 0 to day 10 which include 18 cases and Second group including the patients underwent operative management from day 11 to day 21 which include 6 cases and we will observe if there is a correlation between the preoperative delay and Matta scoring for both acetabular and pelvic components. Among the operatively managed acetabular fracture There was significant association between preoperative delay and Matta scoring system for acetabular component ( P <0.05) Among the operatively managed pelvic ring injuries There was significant association between preoperative delay and Matta scoring system for pelvic component ( P <0.05). Conclusion: The quality of reduction can be controlled by controlling the time to surgery after optimization of the general condition of the patient and controlling the local complications. In our study the earlier to operate on both components within the first 10 days after initial trauma the better to get anatomical reduction.","PeriodicalId":10732,"journal":{"name":"Current Orthopaedic Practice","volume":"23 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135679339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
