The Effect of Cannabinoids on Single-level Lumbar Arthrodesis Outcomes in a Rat Model
The opioid epidemic is a public health crisis affecting spine care and pain management. Medical marijuana is a potential non-opioid analgesic yet to be studied in the surgical setting since its effects on bone healing are not fully understood. Studies have demonstrated analgesic and potentially osteoinductive properties of cannabinoids with endocannabinoid receptor expression in bone tissue. (Source: The Spine Journal)

Human factors in trauma and orthopaedic surgery: a short overview
A human factors (HF) approach can help optimize individual and team performance in healthcare and across related professions that work together. Trauma and orthopaedic surgeons carry out high-stakes tasks within a cognitively and physically demanding environment. This is compounded by the challenges of working in complex healthcare systems. Error is a ‘normal’ part of being human, and must be managed in order to prevent harm to patients and staff. HF is the science of how people work within their teams, and in the workplace.

Preoperative low Hounsfield units in the lumbar spine are associated with postoperative mechanical complications in adult spinal deformity
ConclusionPatients who experienced MCs following surgery for ASD had lower HUs than those who did not. HUs may therefore be more useful than BMD for predicting MCs following surgery for ASD. (Source: European Spine Journal)

Optimising Health-Related Quality of Life in Children With Osteogenesis Imperfecta
AbstractOsteogenesis Imperfecta is a rare, hereditary bone condition with an incidence of 1/15,000 –20,000. Symptoms include bone fragility, long bone deformity, scoliosis, hypermobility, alongside secondary features such as short stature, basilar invagination, pulmonary and cardiac complications, hearing loss, dentinogenesis imperfecta and malocclusion. Osteogenesis Imperfecta can have a large impact on the child and their family; this impact starts immediately after diagnosis. Fractures, pain, immobility, hospital admissions and the need for equipment and adaptations all influence the health-related quality of life of ...

The Scottish Arthroplasty Project: Scotland's approach to a National Joint Registry
This article describes the development, evolution, and future of arthroplasty registries, drawing particularly from the experience  of the Scottish Arthroplasty Project (SAP). The SAP was established in 1999 and is one of the oldest arthroplasty registries in the world. (Source: Orthopaedics and Trauma)

Characterizing the Magnitude and Risk Factors of Functional and Anatomic Limb Lengthening in Patients Undergoing Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty
In revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is little information on the magnitude of potential limb lengthening, risk factors for lengthening, or its impact on patient-reported outcome measures. We aimed to quantify limb length alteration during revision TKA and assess risk factors for lengthening. (Source: The Journal of Arthroplasty)

Morbidity and Mortality Following Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty with Spinal versus General Anesthesia: A Retrospective Analysis
Despite the longstanding debate surrounding anesthesia in total joint arthroplasty, an optimal anesthetic mode has yet to be clearly identified. Patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty may be offered spinal anesthesia (SA) or general anesthesia (GA). While the arthroplasty literature has reported differences in postoperative morbidity, the hip fracture literature does not demonstrate the superiority of SA or GA. The purpose of this study was to further investigate this relationship and determine if there is a significant difference in morbidity and mortality between patients undergoing SA compared with those undergoin...
