Denosumab-Associated Peri-Implant Atypical Femur Fracture: A Case Report.

Bisphosphonate use has been associated with atypical pathologic fracture and slowed bone turnover. We present a case of a bisphosphonate-associated peri-implant atypical femur fracture following use of a recon nail for treatment of a prior bisphosphonate-associated atypical femur fracture.

(formerly ) and Shoulder Surgery.

Infection is a rare but serious complication of shoulder arthroplasty. The most prevalent cause of patient infections is (formerly ), a commensal skin bacterial species. Its presentation is often non-specific and can occur long after shoulder arthroplasty, leading to delay in diagnosis.

A Comparison of Skeletal Injuries Arising from Moped and Motorcycle Collisions.

Motorcycle and moped injuries remain a significant cause of motor-vehicle related morbidity and mortality. There is a paucity of literature describing the skeletal injuries of moped riders and how these compare to those of motorcyclists, however. This study seeks to examine the skeletal injuries sustained in such incidents and determine if there are significant differences.

The Effect of Mobile Tablet Computer (iPad) Implementation on Graduate Medical Education at a Multi-specialty Residency Institution.

Use of mobile tablet computers (MTCs) in residency education has grown. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of MTCs on multiple specialties' residency training and identify MTC adoption impediments. To our knowledge, this current project is one of the first multispecialty studies of MTC implementation.

Shared decision making in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip and knee: results of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Despite evidence that shared decision-making tools for treatment decisions improve decision quality and patient engagement, they are not commonly employed in orthopaedic practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of decision and communication aids on patient knowledge, efficiency of decision making, treatment choice, and patient and surgeon experience in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-three patients who were considered medically appropriate for hip or knee replacement were randomized to either a shared decision-making intervention or usual care.

Reduction of airway complications with fluid management protocol in patients undergoing cervical decompression and fusion across the cervicothoracic junction.

Study Design: Retrospective comparative cohort analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of an intraoperative and intensive care unit protocol on incidence of airway complications for patients undergoing combined anterior-posterior cervical decompression and fusion crossing the cervicothoracic junction (CTAPF).

Summary Of Background Data: Airway compromise remains an important potential complication for patients undergoing CTAPF.
