Background: Ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) is understood to be a pain generator in the deep gluteal space. Femoral position is known to influence the ischiofemoral space (IFS), but there has been no study examining the effect of sagittal pelvic tilt on the IFS. The purpose of this study was to determine whether changes in pelvic tilt in the sagittal plane lead to changes in the dimensions of the IFS.
Materials and methods: Five fresh frozen cadavers (10 hips) were used for this anatomic study. The specimens were skeletonized and placed in the prone position with the pelvis fixed to a custom-built hinged table. A digital inclinometer was used to tilt the pelvis -10°, 0°, and 10° simulating posterior, neutral, and anterior pelvic tilt, respectively. Digital calipers were used to measure the dimensions of the IFS in all three positions of sagittal pelvic tilt.
Results: Changes in pelvic tilt resulted in significant changes in the dimensions of the IFS. Mean IFS dimensions measured 29.3±9.7 mm, 37.2±9.0 mm, and 24.3±9.2 mm in the neutral, anterior, and posterior pelvic tilt positions, respectively (P<.0001).
Conclusion: Changes in sagittal pelvic tilt influence the dimensions of the IFS, with posterior pelvic tilt noted to significantly decrease the IFS when compared with neutral and anterior pelvic tilt. These findings suggest that further evaluation of sagittal spinopelvic balance in the etiology of symptomatic IFI may be warranted. [Orthopedics. 2024;47(3):167-171.].

Background:
It is unclear how pediatric orthopedic surgeons are geographically distributed relative to their patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the geographic distribution of pediatric orthopedic surgeons in the United States.
Materials and Methods:
County-level data of actively practicing pediatric orthopedic surgeons were identified by matching several registries and membership logs. Data were used to calculate the distance between counties and nearest surgeon. Counties were categorized as “surgeon clusters” or “surgeon deserts” if the distance to the nearest surgeon was less than or greater than the national average and the average of all neighboring counties, respectively. Cohorts were then compared for differences in population characteristics using data obtained from the 2020 American Community Survey.
Results:
A total of 1197 unique pediatric orthopedic surgeons were identified. The mean distance to the nearest pediatric orthopedic surgeon for a patient residing in a surgeon desert or a surgeon cluster was 141.9±53.8 miles and 30.9±16.0 miles, respectively. Surgeon deserts were found to have lower median household incomes (P<.001) and greater rates of children without health insurance (P<.001). Multivariate analyses showed that higher Rural-Urban Continuum codes (P<.001), Area Deprivation Index scores (P<.001), and percentage of patients without health insurance (P<.001) all independently required significantly greater travel distances to see a pediatric orthopedic surgeon.
Conclusion:
Pediatric orthopedic surgeons are not equally distributed in the United States, and many counties are not optimally served. Additional studies are needed to identify the relationship between travel distances and patient outcomes and how geographic inequalities can be minimized. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx–xx.]

Background:
Total humeral endoprosthetic reconstruction (THER) is a rare reconstruction option for limb salvage surgery for large humeral neoplasms or bone destruction.
Materials and Methods:
Because of the limited data and need for this procedure, we reviewed the literature surrounding THER and assessed functionality, complications, and revisions using the PubMed, Embase, Ovid, and Scopus databases.
Results:
Among 29 articles and 175 patients, the most common indication was neoplasm (n=25, 86%), mean follow-up was 61.98 months (SD=55.25 months), and mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was 73.64% (SD=10.69%). Reported complications included 26 (23%) revisions in 7 studies, 35 (36%) cases of shoulder instability in 7 studies, and 13 (13.54%) cases of deep infection in 4 studies.
Conclusion:
THER should be considered with a thorough knowledge of outcomes and potential complications to guide patient and clinician expectations. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx–xx.]

The purpose of this study was to use a large claims database to determine if there is a difference in opioid use after operative intervention for proximal humerus fractures in patients with known cannabis use compared with those who do not report cannabis use. The PearlDiver database was queried to find all patients who underwent proximal humerus open reduction and internal fixation. A group of patients with reported cannabis use or dependence was matched to a cohort without known cannabis use. Between the two groups, differences in the number of opioid prescriptions filled in the postoperative period (within 3 days), the morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) prescribed in total and per day, and the number of opioid prescription refills were explored. There were 66,445 potential control patients compared with 1260 potential study patients. After conducting the propensity score match, a total of 1245 patients were included in each group. The patients in the cannabis group filled fewer opioid prescriptions (P=.045) and were prescribed fewer total MMEs (P=.044) in the first 3 days postoperatively. Results of this study indicate that patients who use cannabis products may use fewer opioids after proximal humerus open reduction and internal fixation. [Orthopedics. 2024;47(3):147-151.].

Background:
For total hip arthroplasty (THA), a new technology in the evolution of computer-assisted surgery has emerged in the form of augmented reality (AR). We sought to determine the impact of AR on resident and fellow education after implementation at an academic teaching center.
Materials and Methods:
The senior author's intraoperative technique allows for the orthopedic trainee to use AR to correct the acetabular component's position after an attempt is made with standard instrumentation. One year after the implementation of this AR method, both resident and fellow trainees were issued an anonymous survey regarding their experience and descriptive statistics were calculated for the results.
Results:
Sixteen trainees responded to the survey. One hundred percent felt the use of AR improved their understanding of acetabular component placement and improved their intraoperative experience. Sixty-nine percent reported feeling there was a small increase in operative time but 25% reported no increase in operative time when using AR. Seventy-five percent of trainees felt that patients benefited from the technology and would be in favor of AR if they were having a THA. The majority of those surveyed reported a desire to use AR in their practice if it is available.
Conclusion:
Computer-assisted surgery has demonstrated variable impacts on orthopedic education. After the implementation of AR at an academic teaching center, all trainees reported it improved their intraoperative experience and their understanding of acetabular component placement. Further studies are needed to determine if AR is able to improve a trainee's component placement. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx–xx.]
背景:对于全髋关节置换术(THA)而言,计算机辅助手术发展过程中出现了一种新技术,即增强现实技术(AR)。材料与方法:资深作者的术中技术允许骨科受训者在尝试使用标准器械后使用增强现实技术纠正髋臼组件的位置。在这种AR方法实施一年后,向住院医师和研究员学员发放了一份匿名调查问卷,了解他们的经验,并对结果进行了描述性统计。结果:16 名学员回答了调查,100% 的学员认为 AR 的使用提高了他们对髋臼组件置入的理解,改善了他们的术中体验。69%的受训者认为使用AR后手术时间略有增加,但25%的受训者认为手术时间没有增加。75%的受训人员认为患者能从该技术中受益,如果他们要做全髋关节置换术,也会支持使用 AR。结论:计算机辅助手术对骨科教育的影响各不相同。结论:计算机辅助手术对骨科教育的影响不尽相同。在一个学术教学中心实施 AR 后,所有学员都表示 AR 改善了他们的术中体验以及对髋臼组件置入的理解。还需要进一步的研究来确定 AR 是否能够改善受训者的组件置放。[骨科。202x;4x(x):xx-xx。]

Background:
Recently, fluoroscopy-assisted computer navigation has been developed to assess intraoperative cup inclination/anteversion and leg-length discrepancy (LLD) in the operating room. However, there is a relative dearth of studies investigating the accuracy of this software compared with postoperative radiographs.
Materials and Methods:
We prospectively enrolled 211 navigated anterior total hip arthroplasties using fluoroscopy-assisted computer navigation software. Intraoperative navigated measurements were compared with postoperative anteroposterior radiographs to assess accuracy of cup inclination/anteversion and LLD. Continuous variables were analyzed using the Student's t test, and categorical variables were analyzed using Fisher's exact test.
Results:
On postoperative radiographs, 94.3% of cups (199 of 211) were positioned within the Lewinnek “safe zone,” compared with 99.1% navigated intraoperatively (P=.01). Eighty-two percent of hips (174 of 211) were navigated intraoperatively to LLDs within ±2 mm; on postoperative radiographs, 65% of hips (138 of 211) had LLDs within ±2 mm (P=.0001). Intraoperatively, 100% of hips (211 of 211) were navigated to LLDs within ±5 mm; similarly, on postoperative radiographs, 98% of hips (207 of 211) had LLDs within ±5 mm (P=.12).
Conclusion:
A novel fluoroscopy-assisted computer navigation platform accurately assessed intraoperative cup position and LLD during anterior total hip arthroplasty. Careful attention to fluoroscopic technique, positioning of radiographic landmarks, and knowledge of the limitations of fluoroscopy, including parallax effect, are important concepts that surgeons should incorporate into their decision algorithm.

Vertebral augmentation including vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty may restore function without interfering with the therapeutic regimen of patients with multiple myeloma. We sought to evaluate the effects of adding multilevel vertebral augmentation to conventional therapy protocols for patients with multiple myeloma.
Materials and Methods:
Forty-four patients recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received multilevel vertebral augmentation (kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty) in addition to conventional therapy (MVA), and the other group received conventional therapy alone (CTA). Patients were evaluated before treatment and at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after treatment by using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), the Stanford Score (SS), and the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS).
Results:
The mean ODI, SS, and SINS were nearly equal before treatment, being 34.19 (68.38%), 4.58, and 12.30, respectively, for the MVA group and 32.29 (64.58%), 4.63, and 13.88, respectively, for the CTA group. There were significant differences in the ODI, SS, and SINS between the two groups at all follow-up intervals. The ODI and SINS were statistically significantly different between the two groups (P=.020 and P<.001, respectively). There was an insignificant difference in SS between the two groups.
Conclusion:
This study found that performing kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty in addition to conventional therapy for patients with multiple myeloma resulted in enhanced morbidity and functional outcomes. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx–xx.]
背景:包括椎体成形术和椎体后凸成形术在内的椎体增强术可在不影响多发性骨髓瘤患者治疗方案的情况下恢复其功能。我们试图评估在多发性骨髓瘤患者的常规治疗方案中加入多级椎体增强术的效果。材料与方法:44 名近期诊断为多发性骨髓瘤的患者被随机分配到两组。一组在常规治疗(MVA)的基础上接受多级椎体增强术(椎体成形术或椎体成形术),另一组仅接受常规治疗(CTA)。在治疗前、治疗后3个月、6个月、1年、2年、3年、4年和5年,使用奥斯韦特里残疾指数(ODI)、斯坦福评分(SS)和脊柱不稳定性肿瘤评分(SINS)对患者进行评估。结果:治疗前的平均 ODI、SS 和 SINS 几乎相同,MVA 组分别为 34.19(68.38%)、4.58 和 12.30,CTA 组分别为 32.29(64.58%)、4.63 和 13.88。在所有随访时间间隔内,两组患者的 ODI、SS 和 SINS 均存在明显差异。两组的 ODI 和 SINS 在统计学上有显著差异(分别为 P=.020 和 P<.001)。结论:本研究发现,在对多发性骨髓瘤患者进行常规治疗的同时进行椎体成形术和椎体后凸成形术可提高发病率和功能预后。[骨科。202x;4x(x):xx-xx。]

Background:
Humeral nonunions have devastating negative effects on patients' upper extremity function and health-related quality of life. The objective of this study was to identify factors independently associated with 30-day complication, hospital readmission, and reoperation after surgical treatment of humeral nonunions.
Materials and Methods:
A retrospective case-control study was performed using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database by querying the Current Procedural Terminology codes for patients who underwent humeral nonunion repair from 2011 to 2020. The study outcomes were 30-day complication, hospital readmission, and reoperation.
Results:
Of the 1306 patients in our cohort, 135 patients (10%) developed a complication, 66 patients (5%) were readmitted to the hospital, and 44 patients (3%) underwent reoperation during the 30-day postoperative period. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that older age, longer operative time, partially dependent functional status, congestive heart failure, bleeding disorder, and contaminated wound classification were associated with 30-day complication after humeral nonunion repair. Older age and disseminated cancer were associated with 30-day reoperation after humeral nonunion repair. Disseminated cancer was associated with 30-day readmission after humeral nonunion repair.
Conclusion:
Using a large database over a recent 10-year period, we identified demographic and comorbid factors independently associated with episode of care adverse events after humeral nonunion repair. Patients 50 years or older had approximately three times the incidence of complications, readmissions, and reoperations in the first month after humeral nonunion repair compared with patients younger than 50 years. Our findings are relevant for preoperative risk stratification and counseling. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx–xx.]

Background:
The purpose of this study was to determine if the presence of a standing Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, psychiatric diagnosis is associated with worse outcomes for patients who develop a confirmed fracture-related infection (FRI).
Materials and Methods:
Included patients had open or closed fractures managed with internal fixation and had confirmed FRIs. Baseline demographics, injury information, and outcomes were collected via chart review. All patients who had a diagnosis of psychiatric illness, which included depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, and schizophrenia, were identified. Patients with and without a psychiatric diagnosis were statistically compared.
Results:
Two hundred eleven patients were diagnosed with a confirmed FRI. Fifty-seven (27.0%) patients had a diagnosis of a psychiatric illness at the time of FRI diagnosis. Patients with a psychiatric diagnosis had a higher rate of smoking (56% vs 40%, P=.039) and drug use (39% vs 19%, P=.004) and a higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification (2.35±1.33 vs 1.96±1.22, P=.038); however, there were no other demographic differences. Clinical outcomes also did not differ between the groups, as patients with an FRI and a psychiatric diagnosis had a similar time to FRI diagnosis, similar confirmatory FRI characteristics, and a similar rate of reoperation. Furthermore, there was no difference between patients with FRI with and without a psychiatric diagnosis regarding rate of infection resolution (89% vs 88%, P=.718) or time to final follow-up (20.13±24.93 vs 18.11±21.81 months, P=.270).
Conclusion:
The presence of a psychiatric diagnosis does not affect clinical outcomes in the patient population with FRI. This is the first study exploring the impact of psychiatric illness on patient outcomes after a confirmed FRI diagnosis. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx–xx.]
背景:本研究的目的是确定存在《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版精神疾病诊断是否与确诊骨折相关感染(FRI)患者的不良预后有关。通过病历审查收集了基线人口统计学特征、损伤信息和预后。所有被诊断患有精神疾病(包括抑郁症、躁郁症、焦虑症和精神分裂症)的患者均被确定。结果:有 211 名患者被确诊为 FRI。57名患者(27.0%)在确诊FRI时被诊断患有精神疾病。有精神病诊断的患者吸烟率(56% vs 40%,P=.039)和吸毒率(39% vs 19%,P=.004)较高,美国麻醉医师协会(ASA)分级(2.35±1.33 vs 1.96±1.22,P=.038)也较高;但两者在人口统计学方面没有其他差异。两组患者的临床结果也没有差异,因为FRI和精神疾病患者确诊FRI的时间相似,确诊FRI的特征相似,再次手术率相似。此外,在感染缓解率(89% vs 88%,P=.718)或最终随访时间(20.13±24.93 个月 vs 18.11±21.81个月,P=.270)方面,有精神病学诊断和没有精神病学诊断的 FRI 患者之间没有差异。这是第一项探讨确诊 FRI 后精神疾病对患者预后影响的研究。[骨科。202x;4x(x):xx-xx。]

Background:
Anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and shoulder hemiarthroplasty (HA) have both been shown to have good outcomes in patients with osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint. However, evidence comparing perioperative complications between these procedures in this population is heterogeneous.
Materials and Methods:
The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried between the years 2012 and 2021 (10 years in total) for records of patients who underwent either TSA or HA for osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint. Patients in each group underwent a 1:1 propensity match for demographic variables. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to compare complications and risk factors between these cohorts.
Results:
A total of 4376 propensity-matched patients, with 2188 receiving TSA and 2188 receiving HA, were included in the primary analyses. The HA cohort had a higher rate of any adverse event (7.18% vs 4.8%, P=.001), death (0.69% vs 0.1%, P=.004), sepsis (0.46% vs 0.1%, P=.043), postoperative transfusion (4.62% vs 2.2%, P<.001), postoperative intubation (0.5% vs 0.1%, P=.026), and extended length of stay (23.77% vs 13.1%, P<.001). HA was found to increase the odds of developing these complications when baseline demographics were controlled. Older age (odds ratio, 1.040; 95% CI, 1.021–1.059; P<.001) and lower body mass index (odds ratio, 0.949; 95% CI, 0.923–0.975; P<.001) increased the odds of having any adverse event in the HA cohort but not in the TSA cohort.
Conclusion:
Compared with TSA, HA appears to be associated with significantly higher rates of 30-day postoperative complications when performed for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx–xx.]
背景:解剖性全肩关节置换术(TSA)和肩关节半关节置换术(HA)对盂肱关节骨性关节炎患者都有良好的疗效。材料与方法:在2012年至2021年(共10年)期间,我们查询了美国外科医生学会国家外科质量改进计划数据库,以获得因盂盂关节骨性关节炎而接受TSA或HA手术的患者记录。每组患者的人口统计学变量进行了1:1倾向匹配。结果:共有4376名倾向匹配患者参与了主要分析,其中2188人接受了TSA治疗,2188人接受了HA治疗。HA队列中发生任何不良事件(7.18% vs 4.8%,P=.001)、死亡(0.69% vs 0.1%,P=.004)、败血症(0.46% vs 0.1%,P=.043)、术后输血(4.62% vs 2.2%,P<.001)、术后插管(0.5% vs 0.1%,P=.026)和住院时间延长(23.77% vs 13.1%,P<.001)。在控制了基线人口统计学特征后,发现 HA 会增加出现这些并发症的几率。年龄较大(几率比,1.040;95% CI,1.021-1.059;P<.001)和体重指数较低(几率比,0.949;95% CI,0.923-0.975;P<.001)增加了HA队列中发生任何不良事件的几率,而TSA队列中则没有。[Orthopedics.202x;4x(x):xx-xx.]
