Background: Health literacy is a major determinant of health outcomes, with low literacy correlated with increased risk of postoperative complications and lower patient-reported outcomes. This study sought to increase health literacy in a subset of Los Angeles County patients who would be undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) using a video-based intervention.
Methods: We enrolled 51 patients scheduled to undergo TJA.
Purpose: To describe the growth and characteristics of active orthopaedic sports medicine podcasts.
Methods: Three common podcasting platforms (Apple, Google, and Spotify) were queried July 24, 2021 using the search term "sports medicine." For each unique active podcast hosted by an orthopaedic surgeon, data were collected on year of the first episode, number of episodes, frequency of episodes, types of guests, topics discussed, episode length, and social media presence.
»: The incidence of quadriceps tendon rupture is estimated to be 1.37 cases per 100,000 people/year, with a predilection for these injuries in patients who are ≥40 years of age.
»: Quadriceps tendon ruptures are more likely to occur in the presence of preexisting comorbidities such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, gout, chronic kidney disease, secondary hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus, and peripheral vascular disease.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different recumbent sleeping positions of the head and body on intraocular pressure (IOP) in secondary open-angle glaucoma and glaucoma suspect patients, specifically pigmentary dispersion (PD) as measured using the ICare rebound tonometer.
Patients And Methods: A total of 44 eyes of 24 patients with PD were selected in this study. The IOP of 44 eyes was measured in the initial seated position, in the 4 recumbent positions, and again in the sitting position between each of the recumbent positions.
