Background: To determine if there are postoperative weight changes for patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty (SA). In addition, we aimed to determine if glycemic control (hemoglobin A1C levels) change postoperatively for patients undergoing SA.
Methods: All patients 18 years of age or older who had undergone primary SA over a 12-year period were analyzed.
Purpose: To define and compare gender diversity among faculty and trainees within hand surgery fellowship programs.
Methods: We determined the gender of each program director for all orthopedic residency and fellowship programs. Specific to hand fellowship programs, we determined the gender of the fellowship director and all faculty members for all plastic surgery and orthopedic hand fellowship programs.
Purpose: Despite the associations between workhours, fatigue and motor vehicle accidents, driving abilities for residents post-call have been infrequently analysed. Our purpose was to compare orthopaedic surgery resident performance on a driving simulator after a night of call compared with their baseline.
Study Design: All residents from a single orthopaedic programme were asked to complete baseline and post-call driving simulator assessments and surveys.
Purpose: To define technology and social media use among rural upper-extremity patients. In addition, we aimed to assess how patients use social media in relation to health care and their willingness to participate in telemedicine programs.
Methods: An anonymous multiple-choice written survey was administered to 550 upper-extremity patients at 4 rural outreach clinics.
Purpose: Our purpose was to evaluate the implementation of a postoperative hand and upper extremity telemedicine program. We aimed to compare travel burden, visit time, and patient satisfaction between an initial postoperative telemedicine visit and a second conventional in-clinic visit.
Methods: Telemedicine guidelines established by our hospital system were used as inclusion criteria for this prospective study, which included patients indicated for surgery in the outpatient clinic during a 3-month period.
Purpose: To determine whether demographic differences exist among editors, reviewers, and authors in (JHS). We aimed to test the null hypothesis that there would be no difference among these 3 groups with respect to gender, geographic location, academic productivity, and financial relationships with industry.
Methods: Editors, reviewers, and physician authors were identified for 2018 JHS.
