Successful Ultrasound-Guided Spinal Anesthesia in a Patient With Severe Hemophilia A Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Neuraxial anesthesia is the preferred technique for total joint arthroplasties. However, the absolute safety of neuraxial anesthesia in hemophilia patients has not been established. We describe a case of an adult male with severe hemophilia A, who presented for primary hip replacement due to severe hemophilic arthropathy and was managed with ultrasound-facilitated neuraxial anesthesia.

Arthroscopic Versus Mini-open Rotator Cuff Repair: A Randomized Trial and Meta-analysis.

Background: Patients with complete rotator cuff tears who fail a course of nonoperative therapy can benefit from surgical repair.

Purpose: This randomized trial compared mini-open (MO) versus all-arthroscopic (AA) rotator cuff repair.

Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1.

Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Entrapment in a Minimally Displaced Acetabular Fracture: A Case Report.

Case: We present a unique case of bowel entrapment within a minimally displaced acetabular fracture. Our patient was injured after a fall from height. He was able to walk with minimal pain, and presented to hospital the following day for symptoms consistent with bowel obstruction.

Sagittal plane deformity in bicondylar tibial plateau fractures.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and magnitude of sagittal plane deformity in bicondylar tibial plateau fractures.

Design: Retrospective radiographic review.

Setting: Two Level I trauma centers.
