Surgical and Conservative Management of Adductor Tendinopathy Yield Comparable Outcomes and Complications: A Systematic Review
6d ago00:06:20Tap to summarizeThe purpose of this review was to evaluate treatment modalities for adductor tendinopathy and determine the superiority of conservative or surgical approaches with a specific focus on return-to-sport (RTS) rates.
Transcribe →Integrating Patient-Reported Functional Outcome Measures in Determining Eligibility for Outpatient Total Hip Arthroplasty
1w ago00:05:23Tap to summarizeSince the removal of total hip arthroplasty (THA) from the Medicare Inpatient‑Only (IPO) list in 2020, there has been a growing trend towards outpatient procedures. Recent studies have demonstrated equivalent complications and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) among inpatient and outpatient THA patients, but existing selection tools primarily emphasize medical comorbidities. This study assessed the value of incorporating preoperative PROMs into clinical-decision making tools to adequately identify patients most suitable for outpatient THA.
Transcribe →5-Minute Summary: Custom PEKK Triflange Implant for Reconstruction of a Post-infectious Acetabular Defect: A Case Report
2w ago00:05:27Tap to summarizeComplex acetabular defects with associated infection as well as multiple revision procedures remain a significant reconstructive challenge due to compromised bone stock, altered anatomy, and increased risk of recurrent infection. Custom triflange implants have been used to restore pelvic stability in severe bone loss; however, conventional metallic constructs may present limitations in previously infected environments, including challenges with imaging assessment and biomechanical load transfer. Patient-specific implants manufactured from Poly Ether Ketone Ketone (PEKK), a high-performance polymer with mechanical properties closer to cortical bone, may offer an alternative reconstructive strategy.
Transcribe →5-Minute Summary: Does Preoperative Suzetrigine Impact ASC Opioid Consumption For Total Joint Arthroplasty?
2w ago00:06:21Tap to summarizeTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) are some of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. Due to the soft tissue damage sustained intraoperatively, pain is a common occurrence which is frequently treated with opioid analgesics. Conventional wisdom still espouses large numbers of opioids for post-op pain relief. However, opioid related adverse events such as addiction, mental status changes, fall risk, and sedation remain a problem. Suzetrigine is a novel non-addictive FDA approved medication to treat acute pain. Lowering opioid use in the early phases of recovery has been shown to reduce long-term opioid use for patients.
Transcribe →5 -Minute Summary: High-Volume Total Joint Arthroplasty in Resource-Limited Settings: A Systems-Based Framework for International Surgical Collaboration
2w ago00:06:24Tap to summarizeThis review describes a systems-based framework for delivering high-volume total hip and knee arthroplasty in a resource-limited environment through long-term international collaboration.
Transcribe →5-Min Summary: A Look at the Outliers: Optimal Placement for Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
2w ago00:06:08Tap to summarizeThe purpose of this study was to identify pre- and post-operative radiographic measurements in patients who achieved excellent range of motion to optimize implant positioning in patients undergoing rTSA. We hypothesized that restoring the lateral humeral offset to closely align with the patient’s pre-operative anatomy, along with achieving optimal lateralization and distalization shoulder angles as outlined in the literature, would correlate with excellent clinical outcomes.
Transcribe →Standardizing the Unstandardized: Can We Create a Universal PJI Pathway?
2w ago01:04:43Tap to summarizeThe recording of The Journal of Orthopaedic Experience & Innovation Zoom "Open Mic" featuring Nathanael Heckmann, MD (moderator), James Baker, MD, & Chris Hoedt, MD.
Transcribe →5-Min Summary: Computer Navigation in Revision Total Joint Arthroplasty: National Utilization and Comparative Mid-Term Outcomes
2w ago00:05:36Tap to summarizeComputer navigation (CN), with or without the use of robotics, is increasingly utilized in primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Although evidence supporting its clinical benefit remains limited, its role in the revision setting is even less defined. This study evaluates national utilization trends and compares 2-year implant-related complications of CN and conventional revision total hip (rTHA) and knee arthroplasty (rTKA).
Transcribe →5-Minute Summary: Citation Inaccuracies in Orthopaedic Surgery: A Novel Classification and Precautions for AI-Generated Bibliographies.
3w ago00:05:48Tap to summarizeThis study identifies a 20.1% overall citation error rate in orthopaedic surgery literature, with nearly 10% classified as major errors. A new classification system for citation accuracy is introduced, revealing significant pre-existing inaccuracies. The research also shows that current AI tools, like ChatGPT, cannot reliably verify citations due to limited access and the rubric used.
Transcribe →5-Minute Summary: The Use of a Novel Surgical Irrigant May Be Associated with Decreased Incidence of Surgical Site Infections
3w ago00:05:52Tap to summarizeA retrospective study compared a novel antimicrobial surgical irrigant, XPerience (XP), to standard povidone-iodine rinse in 1,295 hip/knee arthroplasty patients. The XP group had no periprosthetic joint infections (0/471), while the control group had a 0.5% infection rate (4/824). Although differences weren't statistically significant, findings suggest XP may lower infection.
