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.

The Impact of Isolated Preoperative Cannabis Use on Outcomes Following Cervical Spinal Fusion: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis
CONCLUSION: Isolated baseline cannabis dependence/abuse was associated with increased risk of 90-day readmission following CF. Further investigation of the physiologic impact of cannabis on musculoskeletal patients may elucidate significant contributory factors.

Management of Adult Atlantoaxial Rotatory Fixation: Case Series with Literature Review
CONCLUSION: The case series and literature review suggest that early diagnosis of adult AARF is essential for successful closed reduction, and the Fielding classification may help determine treatment strategy. Furthermore, this study showed that not only traction but also manual reduction may be a useful treatment for early diagnosed AARF Fielding Type 1 without complications.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Negative Wound Pressure Therapy Use in Soft Tissue Sarcoma Resection
CONCLUSION: NWPT appears to lower the WC risk in STS without increasing the recurrence risk, and may be suitable for primary, recurrent, or positive margin resections, staged reconstructions, and while awaiting histologic margin assessment. However, larger, randomized-controlled trials of NWPT in STS are warranted. Level of Evidence: III.PMID:38213851 | PMC:PMC10777702 (Source: Iowa orthopaedic journal)

Publication Rates Vary Across Orthopaedic Subspecialties: A Longitudinal Analysis of AAOS Abstracts
CONCLUSION: Differences in publication rate across orthopaedic subspecialties were observed with articles in sports medicine more likely to be published, published quickly, and featured in a higher impact factor journals. Understanding these differences, and how they relate to the publication and promotion of novel research, is important for orthopaedic researchers.

A Case for Acute Proximal Row Carpectomy for Perilunate Injuries
CONCLUSION: Primary proximal row carpectomy is a treatment option in the acute setting for perilunate injuries in elderly, lower-demand patients. Functional results are similar to those obtained with ligamentous reconstruction, with a shorter recovery period.

Traumatic Irreducible Pediatric Radial Head Dislocations: A Unique Case and Review of the Literature
CONCLUSION: Irreducible pediatric radial head dislocations are rare and inherently unstable injuries. To the authors' knowledge, there are no prior reports of irreducible radial head dislocations that present in a terrible triad like fashion with a coronoid process fracture and posterior elbow dislocation. In the present report, successful treatment of this injury required open reduction and soft tissue repair. Level of Evidence: IV.PMID:38213854 | PMC:PMC10777704 (Source: Iowa orthopaedic journal)

Risk Factors for Blood Transfusions in Elective Single-Level Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Degenerative Conditions
CONCLUSION: Several independent risk factors including age ≥60 years, preoperative blood transfusions and extended operative times increased risk for blood transfusion following single-level ALIF. The present study aims to help surgeons identify high-risk patients to better communicate postoperative expectations and optimize patients to reduce the risk of transfusions and secondary complications.

Mechanical Gains Associated With Virtual Prophylactic Intramedullary Nail Fixation in Femurs With Metastatic Disease
CONCLUSION: Given the mechanically strong baseline condition of most femurs in this cohort, evident by the low fracture risk at the time of CT scanning, the relative increase in stiffness with the addition of the IMN hardware may not make a substantial contribution to overall mechanical strength. The mechanical gains of IMN fixation in femurs with MBD appear most beneficial when the hardware traverses an adequate section of the lesion.

Pain Catastrophizing, Kinesiophobia, Stress, Depression, and Poor Resiliency Are Associated With Pain and Dysfunction in the Hip Preservation Population
CONCLUSION: PCS, TSK, Stress, Depression, and low BRS are associated with pain and disability in hip preservation subjects. Elevated TSK, Anxiety and Stress may be predictors of failure to improve with nonoperative treatment. These psychosocial characteristics should be investigated further as predictors of clinical outcomes in the hip preservation population.

What Are the Barriers to Incorporating Nutrition Interventions Into Care of Older Adults With Femoral Fragility Fractures?
Iowa Orthop J. 2023 Dec;43(2):172-182.ABSTRACTFemoral fragility fractures cause substantial morbidity and mortality in older adults. Mortality has generally been approximated between 10-20% in the first year after fracture and among those who do survive, another 20-60% require assistance with basic activities within 1-2 years following fracture.1 Malnutrition is common and perpetuates these poor outcomes. Nutrition supplementation has potential to prevent post-injury malnutrition, preserve functional muscle mass, and improve outcomes in older adults with femoral fragility fractures, however high-quality evidence is lacking...

Sex Differences in Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Surgical Hip Preservation Interventions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: The present review suggests that men undergoing surgery for FAI and/or DDH tend to have higher preoperative and postoperative PRO scores. However, it appears that women often have greater preoperative to postoperative improvement in PRO scores. This finding is strongest in surgical treatment of DDH.

T < sub > 2 < /sub > * Imaging Assessment of Neoadjuvant Radiation Therapy Combined With Pharmacological Ascorbate in Extremity Soft-Tissue Sarcomas: A Pilot Study
CONCLUSION: T2* measurements prior to treatment, two weeks after initiating treatment, and before surgery showed moderate to strong correlations with percent necrosis. These results support the potential for using T2* mapping to predict and assess response to neoadjuvant radiation therapy combined with pharmacological ascorbate in extremity STS.
