Incidence and Risk Factors for Acid-fast Bacillus/Fungal Culture Positivity in Primary, Conversion, and Revision Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
CONCLUSION: These results suggest utility in obtaining routine intraoperative AFB/fungal cultures, given the relatively high positivity and poor predictive factors.PMID:38569465 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00980 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)

The Iliopsoas: Anatomy, Clinical Evaluation, and Its Role in Hip Pain in the Athlete: A Scoping Review
J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2024 Mar 19. doi: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-01166. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDisability due to iliopsoas (IP) pain and dysfunction is underdiagnosed in the athletic population. The IP unit consists of the psoas major and iliacus muscles converging to form the IP tendon and is responsible primarily for hip flexion strength but has a number of secondary contributions such as femoral movement, trunk rotation, core stabilization, and dynamic anterior stability to the hip joint. As the IP passes in front of the anterior acetabulum and labrum, the diagnosis of IP pain may be confused with labral tearing seen ...

Outcomes of Pediatric Proximal Phalanx Base Fractures
DISCUSSION: Extra-articular proximal phalanx juxtaphyseal fractures rarely require surgical management and can typically be treated with or without CR, based on the degree of deformity, in the emergency department or clinical setting. Low rates of documented sequelae after nonsurgical management were seen in this cohort, allowing for establishment of treatment parameters that can result in clinically insignificant angular and rotational deformity.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic IV.PMID:38489764 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-22-00940 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)
