Stronger together: perspectives on gratitude social processes in group interventions for adolescents.

Most gratitude interventions for adolescents focus on private experiences of gratitude (e.g., gratitude journaling), dyadic expressions of gratitude (e.

A Comparison of Wound Complications Following Total Hip Arthroplasty Performed Through the Direct Anterior Versus Direct Lateral Approach.

Background: Some studies have suggested the risk of wound complications may be higher using the direct anterior (DA) approach to total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to compare the risk of early postoperative wound complications between the DA and direct lateral (DL) approaches to THA and to determine patient risk factors that may contribute to this problem.

Methods: All patients who underwent primary THA with a single surgeon over a 5-year period were retrospectively reviewed.

Talus Fractures: An Update on Current Concepts in Surgical Management.

Talus fractures can be challenging injuries to treat because of complex talar shape, an abundance of articular cartilage, a potentially unforgiving soft-tissue envelope, and an easily injured blood supply. In addition, the spectra of energy involved, soft-tissue injury, and the fracture pattern are wide. Temporizing treatment is sometimes required, including débridement of open fractures, reduction of dislocations, and occasionally spanning external fixation.

Posteromedial Talar Body Fracture: Case Discussion and Surgical Technique.

Posteromedial talar body fractures are a rare form of talus fracture that involves the tibiotalar and subtalar joints. In cases of displaced injuries, open reduction and internal fixation is typically recommended to minimize the risk of instability and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. This video presents a case of a posteromedial talar body fracture and highlights the technique for operative fixation through a posteromedial approach.

Routine Indwelling Urinary Catheterization Is Not Necessary During Total Hip Arthroplasty Performed Under Spinal Anesthesia.

Background: Perioperative indwelling urinary catheterization remains common in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. This study sought to examine the effect of routine catheterization following total hip arthroplasty performed under spinal anesthesia on urinary complications.

Methods: A total of 991 consecutive patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia over a 4-year period were retrospectively reviewed.
