Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of injuries to the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IPBSN) after ACL reconstruction using an oblique incision for hamstring graft.
  • Out of 59 knees evaluated, 27 (45.7%) experienced sensory disorders post-surgery, with 92.6% of these cases persisting for six months, though only one knee had compromised daily activities.
  • The results indicated that the oblique incision did not prevent IPBSN injuries, and there were no significant differences in sensitivity issues based on age, side affected, incision angle, or distances measured, though larger incisions were noted in those without sensitivity changes.

Objective: To explore association between misdiagnosis of IC/BPS and demographics. Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is associated with significant diagnostic uncertainty, resulting in frequent misdiagnosis as there is little known about the potential impact of key demographic factors.

Methods: All patients in the VA system between 1999-2016 were identified by ICD-9/10 codes for IC/BPS (595.

Objective: To examine the prevalence of comorbid conditions in a nationwide population of men and women with IC/BPS utilizing a more heterogeneous sample than most studies to date.

Methods: Using the Veterans Affairs Informatics and Computing Infrastructure, we identified random samples of male and female patients with and without an ICD-9/ICD-10 diagnosis of IC/BPS. Presence of comorbidities (NUAS [chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines], back pain, diabetes, and smoking) and psychosocial factors (alcohol abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual trauma, and history of depression) were determined using ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes.

Aims: The complexity of Interstitial Cystitis/bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) has led to a great deal of uncertainty around the diagnosis and prevalence of the condition. Under the hypothesis that IC/BPS is frequently misdiagnosed, we sought to assess the accuracy of the ICD-9/ICD-10 code for IC/BPS using a national data set.

Methods: Using the Veterans Affairs Informatics and Computing Infrastructure, we identified a random sample of 100 patients with an ICD-9/ICD-10 diagnosis of IC/BPS (595.
