Background and Hypothesis
Cutaneous wound healing is a complex process that is typically characterized by significant inflammation and fibrosis, culminating in the formation of a scar. Improper wound healing can lead to complications, including...
Background: Cartilage damage is challenging to treat due to its limited self-healing capacity caused by its avascular and aneural nature. However, 3D tissue engineering approaches that utilize biomaterials, additives, and cells offer a promising...
Background: A primary focus of regenerative medicine is to understand the cellular mechanisms
governing tissue regeneration across various species. Mammals generally possess a restricted
regenerative capacity compared to species like zebrafish or...
Introduction: Orthopedic procedures often require removing bone or pathological tissue, with traditional methods involving instruments like curettes and rongeurs. However, these methods can be time-consuming and lead to increased blood loss. To...
Hypothesis:
We sought to evaluate whether surgical excision of major peripheral nerve neuromas (MPN) would reduce the use of opioids in patients with preoperative opioid use. Secondarily, we sought to determine whether additional surgical...
INTRODUCTION: In the context of value-based care, the influence of racial and socioeconomic factors on hip fracture outcomes remains underexplored. This study investigates the impact of the area deprivation index (ADI) on readmission rates and costs...
Funding Acknowledgement: This study was supported by a grant from the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation
Background: The glenohumeral joint is the most frequently dislocated joint in the human body, and recurrent instability is common with...
ABSTRACT
Background: Osteocutaneous fibula free flaps (FFFs) are a fundamental component of reconstructive surgery in the head and neck region, particularly following traumatic injuries or oncologic resections. Despite their utility, FFFs are...
Objective.
Interventional Radiologists’ involvement in percutaneous osseous interventions is increasing, however, postprocedural instructions related to weightbearing are often not given. The purpose of this study was to describe the implications of...
BACKGROUND: The impact of social drivers of health (SDOH) on readmissions and costs after Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is poorly understood. Policies such as the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) have...
