Did Rapid Expansion of Same Day Discharge Hip and Knee Arthroplasty During the COVID-19 Pandemic Increase Early Complications?
CONCLUSION: Rapid expansion of SDD TJA during the COVID-19 pandemic did not increase overall complication, readmission, or re-operation rates. Level of Evidence: IV.PMID:38213866 | PMC:PMC10777698 (Source: Iowa orthopaedic journal)

Utilization Trends, Patient-Demographics, and Comparison of Medical Complications of Sliding Hip Screw or Intramedullary Nail for Intertrochanteric Fractures: A Nationwide Analysis from 2005 to 2014 of the Medicare Population
CONCLUSION: This analysis demonstrates a difference in utilization of SHS and IMN for patients with IT fractures. Patients with IMN had significantly higher prevalence of comorbid conditions and incidence of 90-day postoperative complications compared to SHS patients. The study can be utilized by orthopaedic surgeons to potentially anticipate healthcare utilization depending on implant selection.

Deformities Influencing Different Classes in Progressive Collapsing Foot
CONCLUSION: This study was able to find relations between components of PCFD deformity with exception of ankle valgus (Class E). Measurements associated with each class were influenced by others, and in some instances with pronounced strength. The presented data may support the notion that PCFD is a three-dimensional complex deformity and suggests a possible relation among its ostensibly independent features.

Quantitative Analysis of Anesthesia Utilization in Ambulatory Hand Surgery
CONCLUSION: LA was the most utilized modality over the study period, though a significant proportion of usage has shifted back towards RA and GA over time. Commercial/private insurance was the most frequent reimbursement source for all procedures, though Medicaid covered disproportionately more procedures utilizing GA. RA use was noted to be disproportionately higher in mid-sized population centers (2-4 million in population). Level of Evidence: IV.PMID:38213847 | PMC:PMC10777700 (Source: Iowa orthopaedic journal)

Outcomes of Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients 60 Years and Younger
CONCLUSION: Revision THA in patients less than 60 years of age was associated with considerably lower rates of early loosening-related failure than historically reported. Recurrent dislocation and infection appear to remain challenges in this population. Despite improvements in survivorship from earlier studies, patient-reported functional improvements remained relatively unchanged.
