The effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy in coccydynia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions: The authors showed that ESWT lessened pain in patients with coccydynia. This effect did not diminish during a year; instead, it further reduced pain in patients. However, more research is needed to verify the results. Level of Evidence: Level I. (Source: Current Orthopaedic Practice)

The utility of patient-reported outcome measures in orthopaedic trauma research: a systematic review
Conclusions: Clinical outcome studies utilizing PROMs after orthopaedic trauma represented a minority of publications across six major journals between 2011 to 2019. Standardization of PROMs is lacking, making comparison between studies challenging. The VAS and DASH scores were the most frequently PROMs reported followed by additional PROMs for the upper extremity. Characterizing the use of PROMs directs future investigators toward selecting applicable PROMs to evaluate patient outcomes following orthopaedic trauma. Level of Evidence: Level IV.

Analysis of physician characteristics and factors influencing the online recommendation of pediatric orthopaedic surgeons: a cross-sectional study
Background: Physician online reviews are a growing resource that patients use to choose healthcare providers. The authors investigated the factors involved in the recommendation of pediatric orthopaedic surgeons on a popular online physician-rating website. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using the 2020-2021 Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America directory to identify United States active board-certified pediatric orthopaedic surgeons. Healthgrades.com was used to gather data including geographic location, years of experience, type of ratings, age, sex, and likelihood to recommend score (LT...

Applicant characteristics and interview-day structure of shoulder and elbow surgery fellowships
Conclusions: Shoulder and elbow fellowship program directors prioritize subjective over objective attributes when selecting applicants. The interview day is most commonly a half day with each applicant undergoing multiple interviews at each institution. Understanding the selection process used by shoulder and elbow fellowship directors provides a valuable resource for residents. Level of Evidence: Level V. (Source: Current Orthopaedic Practice)

Pitfalls and suggestions for the treatment of open, comminuted fractures of the middle phalanx using custom-made dynamic external fixators: a retrospective case series
Conclusions: One of the most crucial factors affecting outcome in this kind of injury is the appearance of the digit and functional results. None of the participants in this series had any complaint about the appearance of their fingers in the final examination, and 10 out of 12 judged the cosmetic result as very good. To the authors' knowledge, this report is one of the few that describes the functional outcome of pins and rubbers traction system (PRTS) application in complex fracture and fractures-dislocations with severe comminution of the middle phalanx and not only fractures related to the PIP joint. Level of E...

Reconstruction of medial collateral ligament and posterior oblique ligament of the knee using anatomically routed semitendinosus transfer: a retrospective case series
Background: Double bundle reconstruction of superficial medial collateral (sMCL) and posterior oblique (POL) ligaments with a single femoral tunnel using distally based semitendinosus is a traditional procedure for management of medial knee ligament complex injuries. However, the transferred tendon was always routed in nonanatomical configuration. The author reports the clinical outcomes and complications in a reconstruction technique with anatomical graft routing method. Methods: Fourteen patients with International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) grade 3 or 4 valgus instability and anteromedial rotatory in...

Comparison of manipulation rates for robot-assisted, customized, and conventional total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study
Conclusions: There were no statistically significant differences in manipulation rates among conventional, customized, and robot-assisted TKAs. However, current smoking status and prior surgery were associated with higher risk of manipulation. Level of Evidence: Level III. (Source: Current Orthopaedic Practice)

Cost minimization analysis of the treatment of olecranon fracture in elderly patients: a retrospective analysis
Conclusions: These findings show that nonoperative management for olecranon fractures in the elderly population leads to fewer complications and is less costly. Nonoperative management may be a higher-value management option for this patient population. These results will help inform management of olecranon fractures as payors shift toward value-based reimbursement models in which quality of care and cost influence surgical decision-making.
