Methods: Surgery treated isolated Weber B-type fractures between 2006 and 2016 were included. Bone density was determined by ultrasonography densitometry of the calcaneus. American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), Foot Function Index, Olerud-Molander-Ankle-Score, Hannover-Score, and Short Form Health Survey SF 36 were recorded. Results: Sixty patients were followed up. Mean follow-up was 6.6 years (range, 2 to 12 years). Mean bone density T-score of the treated foot was significantly lower than that of the contralateral untreated side (−0.6 versus −0.3; P = 0.05). Higher T-scores on the injured side were significantly and positively correlated with improved outcomes in the AOFAS, Olerud-Molander-Ankle-Score, and SF-36 physical component summary but negatively correlated with the Hannover score (P ≤ 0.05). A significant correlation existed only between the pain scores of the AOFAS and Foot Function Index. Controlling for potential confounding variables, such as age and smoking status, in a linear regression model, increased bone density was only associated with the AOFAS score. Discussion: A significant reduction in bone density persists for more than eight years in some individuals. Statistically significant correlation between reduced bone density and clinical outcomes was found only for the AOFAS scoring system.","PeriodicalId":145112,"journal":{"name":"JAAOS Global Research & Reviews","volume":"1 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141047936","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}

We hypothesize that the use of surgeon-preferred staff will improve operating room efficiency and reduce complication rates while increased staff turnover will decrease efficiency and increase complications. Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective study focused on determining the effects of staffing on operating room time and efficiency in total shoulder arthroplasty. The study included patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty by a single fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon from 2018 to 2023. Results: Four hundred twenty-three patients were included in the study from August 2018 to April 2023, 264 of which were reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) and 159 were anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). In both rTSA and aTSA, the presence of surgeon-preferred staff markedly decreased operating room time. In rTSA, staff turnover increased risk of 90-day complications. Conclusion: Because the presence of surgeon-preferred staff affects operating room time and efficiency, orthopaedic surgeons should train multiple surgical teams so that efficiency is not affected by the loss of personnel during a case. To reduce 90-day complication rates in rTSA, staff breaks and turnover should be minimized as much as possible because this has a direct effect on patient outcomes. Effort from hospital administration and management should be put toward reducing turnover to improve patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":145112,"journal":{"name":"JAAOS Global Research & Reviews","volume":"170 S367","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141039974","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}

Although DM has been associated with worse functional outcomes after acetabular fracture, literature regarding the effect of DM on surgical site infection and other early complications is lacking. Methods: A 20-year registry from a level 1 trauma center was queried to identify 134 patients with DM and 345 nondiabetic patients with acetabular fractures. Results: The diabetic patient population was older (57.2 versus 43.2; P < 0.001) and had higher average body mass index (33.6 versus 29.5; P < 0.001). Eighty-three patients with DM and 270 nondiabetics were treated surgically (62% versus 78%; P < 0.001). Diabetic patients who were younger (54.6 versus 61.4; P = 0.01) with fewer comorbidities (1.7 versus 2.2; P = 0.04) were more frequently managed surgically. On univariate analysis, patients with DM more commonly developed any early infection (28.4% versus 21%; P = 0.049) but were no more likely to develop surgical site infection, or other postoperative complications. Older patient age, length of stay, baseline pulmonary disease, and concurrent abdominal injury were independent predictors of postoperative infection other than surgical site infection. Diabetics that developed infection had more comorbidities (2.4 versus 1.5; P < 0.001) and higher Injury Severity Score (24.1 versus 15.8; P = 0.003), and were more frequently insulin-dependent (72.7% versus 41%; P = 0.01). Discussion: Independent of management strategy, diabetic patients were more likely to develop an infection after acetabular fracture. Insulin dependence was associated with postoperative infection on univariate analysis.

Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for TSA from 2011 to 2020. A final cohort of 2405 patients with INR within 2 days of surgery were included. Patients were stratified into four groups: INR ≤ 1.0, 1.0 < INR ≤ 1.25, 1.25< INR ≤ 1.5, and INR > 1.5. The primary outcome was bleeding requiring transfusion within 72 hours, and secondary outcome variables included complication, revision surgery, readmission, and hospital stay duration. Multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses adjusted for relevant comorbidities were done. Results: Of the 2,405 patients, 48% had INR ≤ 1.0, 44% had INR > 1.0 to 1.25, 7% had INR > 1.25 to 1.5, and 1% had INR > 1.5.

Outcomes were compared between patients with normal platelet counts (150,000 to 450,000/μL) and thrombocytosis (>450,000/μL).
