Upper Cervical Trauma
Craniocervical injuries (CCJs) account for 10% to 30% of all cervical spine trauma. An increasing number of patients are surviving these injuries due to advancements in automobile technology, resuscitation techniques, and diagnostic modalities. The leading injury mechanisms are motor vehicle crashes, falls from height, and sports-related events. Current treatment with urgent rigid posterior fixation of the occiput to the cervical spine has resulted in a substantial reduction in management delays expedites treatment of CCJ injuries. Within CCJ injuries, there is a spectrum of instability, ranging from isolated nondisplaced ...

Cast-Related Complications
Despite advances in surgical techniques and technology, casting remains an important treatment modality in the armamentarium of orthopedic surgery. Opportunities for skill development and complication management are a decreasing commodity for the surgeon in training. Appropriate indications for casting and technical expertise of cast application are key to complication avoidance. Prompt recognition and evaluation of potential complications are key to optimizing patient outcomes. Following the lead of the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery Resident Skills Modules, we implore teaching institutions to develop and maintain r...

Anterior Supine Intermuscular Total Hip Arthroplasty at an Ambulatory Surgery Center Versus Hospitalization
This study compares anterior supine intermuscular total hip arthroplasty performed at an ambulatory surgery center with the same procedure performed in a hospital setting in regard to complications and costs. The ambulatory surgery center had significantly shorter postoperative stays and superior visual analog pain scores at 3  months. No differences were noted in operative time, blood loss, or complications. Costs were significantly different between groups, with significant cost savings noted in the ambulatory surgery center group. (Source: Orthopedic Clinics of North America)

Acromion and Scapular Spine Fractures Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) continues to see tremendous growth as the indications have expanded. A variety of complications have been described, including fractures of the acromion or scapular spine. These fractures are painful and can compromise shoulder stability and functional outcomes following RSA. Multiple studies have recently investigated the incidence, risk factors, and treatment strategies for these injuries. In this article, the authors review current literature and discuss the incidence, cause, associated risk factors, treatment options, and outcomes following fractures of the acromion or scapular...

Instability After Total Hip Arthroplasty and the Role of Advanced and Robotic Technology
Instability remains the leading cause of reoperation following total hip arthroplasty (THA). In this article, the risk factors for instability after THA are reviewed, including patient-related characteristics, surgical techniques, positioning of implants, and the role of advanced technology and robotics as a platform that may reduce the incidence of instability.

Complications After Anatomic Shoulder Arthroplasty
For practicing shoulder arthroplasty surgeons, it is advisable to consider a breadth of data sources concerning complications and outcomes. Although published series from high-volume centers are the primary source of data, these results may not be generalizable to a wide range of practice settings. National or health system –specific registry and medical device databases are useful adjuncts to assess the changing complication profile of shoulder arthroplasty, as well as to understand the complications specific to certain implants or implant types. To reduce the risk of postoperative complications, surgeons must have a cl...

Complications Associated with the Surgical Management of Hallux Rigidus
Hallux rigidus is the most common arthritic pathology of the foot. This review article discusses the pathophysiology and common clinical presentation of hallux rigidus. Furthermore, we discuss multiple classification systems that categorize the arthritic process and guide management. Surgical interventions include cheilectomy, Moberg osteotomy, synthetic cartilage implants, interpositional arthroplasty, and arthrodesis. The common complications are reviewed, and the rates of these complications highlighted. Surgical options for hallux rigidus globally have successful outcomes with low rates of complications when done on ap...
