The Incidence and Outcomes Following Treatment of Capsulolabral Adhesions in Hip Arthroscopy: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: While the incidence of symptomatic capsulolabral adhesions after primary hip arthroscopy is low; revision hip arthroscopy is strongly associated with adhesion development. Lysis of adhesions in primary hip arthroscopy patients reliably improved patient-reported outcomes. Level of Evidence: IV.PMID:38213862 | PMC:PMC10777703 (Source: Iowa orthopaedic journal)

Back to Basics: Pediatric Casting Techniques, Pearls, and Pitfalls
Iowa Orthop J. 2023 Dec;43(2):79-89.ABSTRACTCast application is a critical portion of pediatric orthopaedic surgery training and is being performed by a growing number of non-orthopaedic clinicians including primary care physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs). Given the tremendous remodeling potential of pediatric fractures, correct cast placement often serves as the definitive treatment in this age population as long as alignment is maintained. Proper cast application technique is typically taught through direct supervision from more senior clinicians, with little literature and few resources available for prov...

A Pilot Study of Nutritional Supplementation in Soft Tissue Sarcoma Patients
CONCLUSION: In our limited sample size, there was no difference in wound healing complications between sarcoma patients who received postoperative BCAA supplementation compared to a historical cohort who were not supplemented. Patients who did not receive supplementation had a significant decline in post-operative psoas index following operative sarcoma removal.

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.

The Impact of Isolated Preoperative Cannabis Use on Outcomes Following Cervical Spinal Fusion: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis

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.

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)
