Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical stability of a medially placed nitinol staple compared to two crossed-screws in the first TMT-1 joint fusion in a cadaveric cyclic loading model.
Methods: Seven matched pairs (N = 7) of lower limb cadaveric specimens were utilized. TMT-1 joints from each donor were fixed with a medially placed nitinol staple or dorsally placed two 3.
Background And Aims: The extent to which hepatitis C (HCV) treatment uptake is improved following introduction of interferon-free direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatments is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine HCV patient engagement and barriers to care for accessing DAA treatments in a real-world setting.
Methods: Patients with HCV viremia at high risk for fibrosis were identified using the Veterans Affairs (VA) registry within San Diego's VA in October 2014.
