Orthopaedic surgeons do not currently recommend mental health evaluations or support as standard of care when discussing TKA. The objective was to determine the role of orthopaedic surgeons and mental health referrals or recommendations. Methods: A quantitative retrospective study was performed on TKA patients in 2019 by 2 high-volume joint surgeons. A survey was sent through e-mail asking demographic questions and questions specific to coping skills and feelings of pain, fear, anger, or anxiety, which is referred to as mental health in this study. The response rate was 41% with n = 110 participants. Descriptive statistics was used to show the data trends. Results: Most of the people reported that seeing a counselor or therapist would not have been helpful with TKA recovery, with many feeling that they did not need support in this area. Women reported more difficulty with coping skills and were more responsive to seeing a counselor or therapist if recommended by their surgeon. Eighty-three percent of the 60- to 79-year-olds felt that orthopaedic surgeons should make referrals or provide resources for mental health support. Conclusion: The results show that more evidence is needed to determine the role of which orthopaedic surgeons play when it comes to mental health recommendations and referrals.","PeriodicalId":93583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of orthopedics for physician assistants","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48311286","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 theoretical benefits include muscle sparing, no hip precautions, smaller incision, decrease in blood loss, and a relative familiar approach for joint surgeons. The aim of our study was to assess the early results and learning curve using the SuperPATH technique. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of the first 28 SuperPATH hip replacements by a single surgeon was performed. The learning curve was assessed by evaluating the results of 2 groups of 14 cases grouped in order in which they were performed. Group 1 was comprised of the first 14 cases, and group 2 of the last 14 cases. Primary measures included operative time and blood loss as surrogates of technical improvement. Secondary measures recorded were length of stay, acetabular component inclination angle, postoperative leg length discrepancy, and intraoperative complications. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the patient cohort, and comparative testing was performed to determine differences between the groups. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05. Results: The duration of the operative procedure between the first 14 cases and the last 14 cases was statistically significant (p = 0.045), 162.85 and 142.67 minutes, respectively. The length of stay was also statistically significant (p = 0.020) between the 2 groups, 3.5 and 2.5 days, respectively. There was no difference between the groups for blood loss, acetabular inclination angle, and leg length discrepancy. Conclusions: This study found a gradual decrease in operative time without plateau between the 2 groups, suggesting that operative time will continue to decrease in the future. Future research will include an extended follow-up of the study group to determine longer-term outcomes and complications. Furthermore, a larger sample size will be needed to determine when the learning curve levels off for this procedure. Level of Evidence: Level IV.","PeriodicalId":93583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of orthopedics for physician assistants","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46696037","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}

Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) in the presence of preoperative anxiety has been shown to negatively affect outcomes, although performance objectives have been obtained. Limited research has been conducted using qualitative methodology to define the concerns related to preoperative anxiety as they relate to TJA. This qualitative study aimed to identify the preoperative concerns of patients leading up to their TJA. Twenty-one patients scheduled for TJA were interviewed the night before their scheduled surgery in a public hospital. Thematic analysis identified 4 main sources of preoperative anxiety: recovery period, surgical complications, outcomes, and hospital period. Accompanying these themes were multiple subthemes reflecting succinct concerns patients have. These themes echo previous literature and identify broader concerns around the recovery period and outcomes. As the number of TJAs increases, this research may benefit existing and ever-evolving future preoperative TJA educational programs. In addition, this research may suggest the further development of interventions aimed at reducing preoperative anxiety in TJA.","PeriodicalId":93583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of orthopedics for physician assistants","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46694476","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}

Advanced practice providers (APPs) play an instrumental role in the perioperative management of complex trauma patients, and it is essential that they are familiar with the indications, advantages, andutilizationof circular ring fixation (RF) in the management of these patients. This review aims to describe modern and advanced uses of external fixation, primarily focusing on the use of circular RF in both an acute setting and its pivotal role in deformity correction, critical bone loss, and soft-tissue deformity. Further discussion will focus on the essential components of circular RF, the novel approaches, and the perioperative considerations compared with internal or traditional external fixation. Although traditional external fixation devices have been used in the treatmentof fractures since the1800s, itwasnot until the mid-1900s that Raoul Hoffman began using more progressive and adjustable pin-to-bar clamps to further address fracture deformity.After improvements in Hoffman’s design and the subsequent genesis of the circular ring fixator in the mid-1900s to late 1900s byGavril Ilizarov, the creation of modern-day circular fixation was born. Ilizarov further advanced traditional fixation methods through creation of the multiplanar fixator. This technique uses tensioned fine wires to maintain periarticular fracture reduction while allowing continual modifications to loadmechanics. Furtheradvancements to Ilizarov’s design led to the development of newer generation circular multiplanar fixators with the ability to perform correction in 3-dimensions concurrently. These fixators use a hexapod designwith 6 struts and computer modeling to assist in correctiveplanningofbonydeformities. In addition, modern RF has advanced from Ilizarov’s original “fine wire only” systems to include fixationwhich uses the addition of half-pins to increase stability in the frame while ensuring the construct is not toostiff.Toorganize theunderstandingof circular RF mechanics, it is important to recognize the essential componentry before beginning a discussion of its indications for use and perioperative considerations and potential complications.","PeriodicalId":93583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of orthopedics for physician assistants","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46854664","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}
