Title : High healthcare utilization and associated costs in the year prior to both primary anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty: A study of 2,393 patients from a private insurance database
Jason Corban, New England Baptist Hospital, United States
Background: The volume of total shoulder arthroplasty has increased exponentially over the last few decades. Recently, due to broadening applications, reverse shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) has surpassed anatomic shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) in the primary setting. With the tr [....] » Read More
Title : Early intervention strategies during immobilization of distal radius fractures
Stephanie Reischl, Western University, Canada
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and mirror therapy (MT) cost effective interventions that could be applied at home and don’t require physical movement of the affected extremity. Distal radius fractures (DRFs) require immobilization for six weeks. NMES and MT cou [....] » Read More

Introduction: Retrograde approach on management of femoral shaft fractures has been gaining popularity among orthopedic surgeon around the world, this is because of short operation time and easy way to position patients. Some questions are still there especially on knee pain afte [....] » Read More
Title : Examining socioeconomic factors in physical and occupational therapy distribution: Insights for total joint arthroplasty
Barbara Mera, University of Illinois College of Medicine, United States
Physical and Occupational therapy (PT/OT) are critical for optimizing outcomes and reducing complications following orthopaedic surgery. Lower socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with reduced access to healthcare and increased rates of surgical complications. The purpose o [....] » Read More
Title : Novel algorithmic pie- crusting technique for soft tissue balancing during total knee arthroplasty
Barbara Mera, University of Illinois College of Medicine, United States
There is no consensus on optimal soft tissue release techniques for correcting varus and valgus deformities during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We assessed the e?cacy of a novel grid pie-crusting technique of the MCL and LCL on soft tissue release. Cadaver knees were dissecte [....] » Read More
Title : Prioritizing range of motion over radiographic staging in carpometacarpal osteoarthritis: A clinical perspective
Mariam Banoub, University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago, United States
Introduction: Carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA) predominantly affects older women, leading to cartilage degeneration, pain, and functional impairment. As patients compensate for this pain by overusing surrounding joints, they may develop deformities such as adduction cont [....] » Read More
