To better understand existing philosophies, we used the Delphi method to measure and foster consensus on routine use of electrodiagnostic testing, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) myelograms prior to surgery. Panelists were 10 peripheral nerve surgeons board certified in their respective specialties at 5 academic medical centers in the United States. We presented 2 cases (1 complete/pan-BPI and 1 upper trunk BPI) to panelists and asked how often they would order the following preoperative diagnostic tests: electrodiagnostic studies; ultrasound of the brachial plexus; MRI of the brachial plexus; CT myelogram. Our Delphi process included an initial survey with videoconference discussion after the first round. A second survey/videoconference round was conducted to further probe the items that did not reach consensus during the first round. Among the 10 surgeons, there was consensus that prior to brachial plexus surgery electrodiagnostic studies and MRI should be routinely ordered and ultrasound of the brachial plexus should not be routinely ordered. The group did not reach consensus on whether CT myelogram should or should not be routinely ordered. Based on our panel’s discussion, future work should focus on comparing the accuracy of CT myelogram and MRI for evaluation of cervical nerve root presence and viability.","PeriodicalId":253125,"journal":{"name":"HSS Journal®: The Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140415891","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}

Purpose: We sought to identify the most common reason for readmissions, as well as patient characteristics and costs, associated with early return to the OR among TJA patients. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of Medicare patients who had undergone primary total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA or TKA) between 2013 and 2018 at a tertiary care hospital.

We sought to compare outcomes of minimally invasive decompression alone versus fusion in patients with predominant back pain. This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent minimally invasive decompression alone or fusion and had preoperative back pain > leg pain. Outcome measures were (1) patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), (2) minimal clinically important difference (MCID) achievement, (3) patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) achievement, and (4) global rating change (GRC). As a subgroup analysis, MCID, PASS, and GRC rates were also compared between the decompression and fusion groups for patients with preoperative back pain < leg pain. Of 510 patients included, there were statistically significant improvements in all PROMs in both groups at <6 and >6 months with no significant difference in the magnitude of improvement. The fusion group showed significantly higher MCID achievement rates for Visual Analog Scale (VAS) back at <6 months (85% vs 70%) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at >6 months (67% vs 51%). Proportion of patients achieving PASS and feeling better after surgery based on response to GRC showed no difference between the groups. The subgroup analysis for decompression versus fusion in patients with preoperative back pain < leg pain showed no differences in MCID, PASS, or GRC rates. This retrospective cohort study found that in patients with predominant back pain, minimally invasive decompression alone had significantly less MCID achievement rates in VAS back at <6 months and ODI at >6 months. However, it did lead to an overall significant improvement in PROMs, similar PASS achievement rates, and similar responses on the GRC scale.","PeriodicalId":253125,"journal":{"name":"HSS Journal®: The Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery","volume":"399 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140490570","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}

Despite the introduction of new evidence and innovative technologies aimed at addressing the approach and care of severe bone loss in rTKA, there is no single document that systematically incorporates these newer surgical approaches. Therefore, a comprehensive review of the treatment of severe bone loss in rTKA is necessary. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Complex Joint Reconstruction Center Hospital for Special Surgery, dedicated to clinical care and research primarily in revision hip and knee replacement, convened a Management of Bone Loss in Revision TKA symposium on June 24, 2022. At this meeting, the 42 international invited experts were divided into groups; each group was assigned to discuss questions related to 1 of the 4 topics: (1) assessing preoperative workup and imaging, anticipated bone loss, classification system, and implant surveillance; (2) achieving durable fixation in the setting of significant bone loss in revision TKA; (3) managing patellar bone loss and the extensor mechanism in cases of severe bone loss; and (4) considering the use of complex modular replacement systems: hinges, distal femoral, and proximal tibial replacements. Each group came to consensus, when possible, based on an extensive literature review and interactive discussion on their group topic. This document reviews each these 4 areas, the consensus of each group, and directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":253125,"journal":{"name":"HSS Journal®: The Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery","volume":"115 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139596724","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}

An extension to the Consolidated Standards for Reporting (CONSORT) checklist provides authors with a framework for reporting harms in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The purpose of this study was to measure harms reporting among RCTs cited as supporting evidence for the AAOS CPG on the treatment of clavicle fractures. This study also sought to determine whether these reporting rates changed over time. Adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we used the AAOS CPG for clavicle fractures and conducted a linear regression analysis to model the relationship between the year of publication and the total CONSORT checklist percentage adherence over time. There were 28 RCTs cited as supporting evidence for the clavicle fractures CPG included in the final sample. The average number of the 18 CONSORT Extension for Harms items appropriately reported across all included RCTs was 9.32 (51.8%). Nine checklist items had more than 50% compliance (50%), 3 items had between 20% and 50% compliance (16.7%), and 6 items had less than 20% compliance (33.3%). The linear regression model demonstrated no significant improvement in CONSORT Harms reporting over time. Adverse events are inadequately reported in RCTs cited as supporting evidence for the AAOS Treatment of Clavicle Fractures CPGs. We recommend the utilization of standardized adverse event reporting tools specific to orthopedic trauma literature to facilitate ease in adverse event reporting among RCTs.","PeriodicalId":253125,"journal":{"name":"HSS Journal®: The Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139610050","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}
