Comparing immediate postoperative outcomes of different VATS approaches for anatomical lung resection: a single-centre retrospective study.

Background: Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) can be performed through 1 or more intercostal or subxiphoid ports. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether number and location of ports had an impact on early perioperative outcomes and postoperative pain after anatomical lung resection (ALR).

Methods: A search of the departmental electronic database identified all patients who underwent VATS ALR between June 2018 and June 2019.

Persistent Pain due to Cement Protrusion After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Report of Three Cases.

Chronic lateral knee pain after uneventful total knee arthroplasty can be challenging to manage. We present 3 cases where the pain transiently resolved with injections of local anesthetic. Diagnostic arthroscopy revealed cement protrusion at the lateral femoral bone-prosthesis interface.

Return to Sport After Pediatric Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review of the Criteria.

Background: Postoperative rehabilitation is an important component of recovery after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR), facilitating successful return to sport (RTS) by reducing risk factors for repeat injury.

Purpose: This systematic review aimed to determine the best protocol for RTS after ACLR in children.

Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Research and residency match: a near-peer online webinar.

Medical students have a wide range of opinions and expectations about research and face many challenges when pursuing it. Online research webinars have the potential to teach medical students about the value of research for various competitive and non-competitive specialties, while also providing them with the opportunity to network with recent medical graduates. When hosted virtually, these events have the potential to reach medical student across multiple provinces and provide them with insight on the different facets of research.

Distal Femur Anterior Hemiepiphysiodesis for Fixed Knee Flexion Deformity in Neuromuscular Patients: A Systematic Review.

Background: In the past decade, distal femur anterior hemiepiphysiodesis for fixed knee flexion deformity has gained popularity. In this study, we aim to systematically review the literature on this technique as a treatment for fixed knee flexion deformity in patients with neuromuscular disorders.

Methods: A systematic review was performed in the following databases: PubMed, Embase, and Medline.

Diagnosis Accuracy for Compartment Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To evaluate whether published studies support basing the diagnosis of compartment syndrome of the lower leg on clinical findings, intracompartmental pressure (ICP) monitoring, or both.

Data Sources: A PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Embase search of the English literature from 1966 to February 2022 was performed. This used "lower extremity" or "leg" or "tibia" and "compartment syndrome" and "pressure" as the subjects.

Next-generation sequencing of non-small cell lung cancer at a Quebec health care cancer centre.

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. Quebec has the highest lung cancer mortality out of all provinces in Canada, believed to be caused by higher smoking rates. Molecular testing for lung cancer is standard of care due to the discovery of actionable driver mutations that can be targeted with tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Management of bone metastasis with zoledronic acid: A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis.

Background: While considered the mainstay of treatment for specific bone metastases, ZA is used predominantly to treat osteolytic lesions. The purpose of this network -analysis is to compare ZA to other treatment options in its ability to improve specific clinical outcomes in patients with bone metastases secondary to any primary tumor.

Methods: PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were systematically searched from inception to May 5th, 2022.

Humerus Lengthening with a Motorized Intramedullary Nail: A Systematic Review of Outcomes and Complications.

Aim: In the past decade, internal limb lengthening nails have gained popularity. In this study, we aim to systematically review the literature on humerus limb lengthening with a motorized intramedullary nail (MIN). We intend to assess the outcome and complications of this technique.

Management of Patella Fracture Nonunion and Large Bone Defect After Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Autograft: A Case Report.

Case: A 32-year-old patient was diagnosed with a vertical patella fracture nonunion after a bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. In addition, a 1 × 2 × 1 cm patellar bone defect was noticed at the graft harvesting site. The patient was treated surgically with open reduction and internal fixation and iliac crest bone autograft which resulted in fracture union.

Predictors of Foot Acute Compartment Syndrome: Big Data analysis.

Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) in the foot is a challenging diagnosis and can lead to significant disabilities to patients. The present study aims to investigate the incidence, risk factors, demographics and association in the analysis of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) of the foot. We performed a retrospective review of the Trauma Quality Programs data from the American College of Surgeons including 70,525 patients who sustained a fracture of the foot from 2015 to 2018 (4 calendar years).
