J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2024 Apr 18. doi: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00778. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS) is a surgical intervention widely used for a myriad of indications including degenerative, oncologic, inflammatory, traumatic, and congenital spinal conditions. A primary concern for surgeons performing ACSS is the postoperative development of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Current literature reports a wide incidence of this complication ranging from 1 to 79%. Dysphagia after ACSS is multifactorial, with common risk factors being prolonged duration of operation, revision surgeries, multilevel su...

Risk of Adverse Events Following Total Knee Arthroplasty in Asthma Patients
DISCUSSION: Over one-tenth of patients undergoing TKA were identified as having asthma, and these patients were at greater odds of numerous pulmonary and non-pulmonary adverse events (a trend that increased with asthma severity), as well as 5-year revisions. Clearly, patients with asthma need specific risk mitigation strategies when considering TKA.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.PMID:38657178 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-01142 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)

Effect of Spaceflight and Microgravity on the Musculoskeletal System: A Review
J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2024 Apr 17. doi: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00954. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWith National Aeronautics and Space Administration's plans for longer distance, longer duration spaceflights such as missions to Mars and the surge in popularity of space tourism, the need to better understand the effects of spaceflight on the musculoskeletal system has never been more present. However, there is a paucity of information on how spaceflight affects orthopaedic health. This review surveys existing literature and discusses the effect of spaceflight on each aspect of the musculoskeletal system. Spaceflight reduces b...

Factors that Promote and Protect Against Financial Toxicity after Orthopaedic Trauma: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSION: This qualitative study of orthopaedic trauma patients found work and emotional health-related factors to be primary drivers of financial toxicity after injury. Insurance and support from friends and family were the most frequently reported protective factors. Many participants described the pivotal role of the healthcare team in establishing recovery expectations and facilitating access to social welfare programs.PMID:38652885 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-01071 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)

Treatment of Length-Unstable Pediatric Femur Fractures in Children Aged 5 to 11 years: A Focused Review
J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2024 May 1;32(9):373-380. doi: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00995.ABSTRACTPediatric femur fractures in children aged 5 to 11 years are typically classified as length-stable versus length-unstable. For length-stable fracture patterns, there is frequent consensus among pediatric orthopaedic specialists regarding the appropriateness of flexible intramedullary nails, submuscular plates (SMP), or lateral-entry rigid intramedullary nails (LE-RIMN). With length-unstable fracture patterns, however, the decision is more complex. Age, weight, fracture pattern, fracture location, surgical technique, surgeon experience, s...

Principles of Minimally Invasive Reduction and Nail Fixation for Subtrochanteric Femur Fractures
J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00904. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSubtrochanteric femur fractures have a reputation as difficult orthopaedic injuries to treat. Strong deforming forces, including the hip musculature and high physiologic forces, must be counteracted to obtain and maintain reduction. Adding to the complexity is a wide variety of fracture morphologies that must be recognized to execute an appropriate surgical plan. The challenging nature of this injury is demonstrated by nonunion rates of 4% to 5%, but some series have reports of up to 15% and malunion rates of 10% to 15%. Improve...

J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2024 Apr 10. doi: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00914. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere is renewed interest in cemented femoral fixation in total hip arthroplasty in the United States, and to fully appreciate the evolution of cemented femoral stem designs, an understanding of their history and design rationale is essential. To adequately study the outcomes of modern-day designs, a comprehensive classification system is also necessary. The biomechanical principles, failure mechanisms, and clinical outcomes associated with various cemented femoral stems are described in this comprehensive review. In addition, ...
