Cephalomedullary Nail Lag Screw Migration Following Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of an Intertrochanteric Femur Fracture in a Patient With Body Mass Index of 63.

Hip fractures are prevalent among the elderly population and are correlated with notable morbidity and mortality. Treatment with intramedullary nails has risen in popularity with good results, however complications can occur. We report on a 62-year-old female with a body mass index of 63 kg/m who presents with cephalomedullary nail lag screw migration following an open reduction and internal fixation of an intertrochanteric fracture, which was subsequently converted to a hip hemiarthroplasty after hardware failure of her cephalomedullary nail.

Proximal Biceps Tenodesis Incorporated into Supraspinatus Repair: A Case Series and Technical Description.

Background: Biceps tendon pathology is commonly associated with rotator cuff tears. A multitude of different biceps tenodesis techniques have been studied, with limited clinical data on arthroscopic biceps tenodesis techniques incorporated into rotator cuff repairs.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of an arthroscopic biceps tenodesis incorporated into a supraspinatus tendon repair.

Lower Extremity Surgical Treatment to Improve Function in a Patient with Gollop-Wolfgang Complex: A Case Report.

Case: Gollop-Wolfgang Complex (GWC) includes congenital absence of the tibia with ipsilateral distal femur bifurcation associated with hand/foot ectrodactyly. A 20-month-old male presented with GWC, including left bifid distal femur with ipsilateral tibial hemimelia and absent extensor mechanism, hypoplastic bilateral thumbs, and right foot tarsal-type preaxial polydactyly. Left through-knee amputation preserving growth and contralateral polydactyly reconstruction were performed.

The Effect of Pitch Variation and Diameter Variation on Screw Pullout.

: There are many screw and thread designs commercially available to surgeons for bone fixation. There is a paucity of literature on comparative mechanical properties of various screw and thread designs including variable pitch screws, and tapered screws. This purpose of this study was to test whether varying a screws thread pitch and/or tapering a screws core diameter alters the mechanical performance of screws.

Risk Factors for Prolonged Symptoms of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Pediatric Sports Concussion Clinic Cohort.

Objective: To examine predictors of prolonged symptom duration from mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in a pediatric sports medicine specialty clinic cohort as these predictors may be distinct in this population.

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Setting: Outpatient specialty clinic.
