Characteristics of early complications in isolated primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery.

Purpose: The early complications of isolated anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery (ACLR) have not been well characterized using large databases. This study aims to characterize incidence, impact, and risk factors for short-term operative complications following elective, isolated ACLR surgery. We hypothesize that demographic and perioperative factors may predict 30-day complications after isolated ACLR.

Perioperative outcomes in isolated versus multiligamentous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a retrospective cohort analysis.

Purpose: The outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in the setting of multiligamentous knee injury (M-ACLR) have not been well characterized compared to isolated ACLR (I-ACLR). This study aims to characterize and compare short-term outcomes between I-ACLR and M-ACLR.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort analysis of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2005 to 2017.

Outcomes Following Fully Threaded Intramedullary Nailing of Metacarpal Fractures.

Purpose: Intramedullary screw fixation has emerged as a popular approach for the treatment of displaced metacarpal fractures. The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional and radiographic outcomes of a newly designed, headless noncompressive fully threaded intramedullary nail (TIMN) for the treatment of metacarpal fractures.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on patients who were treated with the INnate TIMN (ExsoMed) at a single academic institution with a minimum of 1-year follow-up.

Increased age and modified fragility index increases risk of short-term complications after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery.

Background: Large data analysis of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) short-term complications on age will help surgeons stratify and counsel at-risk patients. The purpose of this study is to assess if older patients are at greater risk for short-term complications after ACLR.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent elective ACLR with or without concomitant meniscal procedures in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program from 2005 to 2017.

Resilience of Patients Undergoing Knee and Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedures.

Introduction: Resilience is a person's capacity to overcome adversity. The purpose was to determine what patient factors correlate with resilience using the Brief Resilience Score. We hypothesize that characteristics of female sex, younger age, Workers' Compensation status, and preoperative opioid use are predictors of a lower preoperative resilience score and that patients with positive psychosocial factors would have higher resilience scores.
