Scrolling to Success: Leveraging Social Media to Highlight Wellness Culture in Orthopedic Surgery Residency Programs.

Background Burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, profoundly affects interprofessional collaboration. Despite rising burnout rates, there is a paucity of research regarding the use of social media to support wellness culture, particularly among orthopedic surgery residents. Methods A list of all US orthopedic surgery residency programs was compiled through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and associated social media accounts were identified.

Rapid Healing of Necrotizing Fasciitis Using the Kerecis Fish Skin Xenograft: A Clinical Case Report.

This case report explores the application of the Kerecis fish skin xenograft, derived from North Atlantic Cod, in treating a large full-thickness wound resulting from necrotizing fasciitis (NF). A 41-year-old female with multiple comorbidities presented with NF of the dorsal forearm and hand. Initially managed with serial washouts with extensive debridement, the remaining dorsal forearm full-thickness wound with exposed tendons was treated with an application of the Kerecis xenograft.

Publication Rates of Poster and Podium Presentations at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons Annual Meetings 2016 to 2019.

Background: The objective of this study was to provide the poster and podium publication rates from the 2016 to 2019 American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) annual meetings and assess the quality of presentations ultimately published during this time.

Methods: Posters and podiums from 2016 to 2019 were located through the AAHKS e-poster and meeting archives. Titles were queried on Google, Google Scholar, and PubMed.

Analysis of Concussions Reported in American Professional Football Injury Reports in the 2019 Through 2023 Regular Seasons.

Objective: The National Football League (NFL) has seen increasing scrutiny regarding its management of concussions, especially following an on-field incident involving the Miami Dolphins' quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the 2022 season. We hope to elucidate the recent trends in the diagnosis and management of concussions during the course of 5 NFL seasons from 2019 to 2023.

Methods: We queried the NFL injury reports from the 2019 through 2023 database recording players listed with concussions.

Evaluating ChatGPT's Capabilities on Orthopedic Training Examinations: An Analysis of New Image Processing Features.

Introduction The efficacy of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) models like ChatGPT into the medical field, specifically orthopedic surgery, has yet to be fully determined. The most recent adaptation of ChatGPT that has yet to be explored is its image analysis capabilities. This study assesses ChatGPT's performance in answering Orthopedic In-Training Examination (OITE) questions, including those that require image analysis.

Association Between Neuromuscular Variables and Graft Harvest in Soft Tissue Quadriceps Tendon Versus Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Anterior Cruciate Ligament Autografts.

Background: Quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts are increasingly popular for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, no study has compared QT autografts with bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) autografts regarding the electromechanical delay (EMD), the peak torque (PT), and the rate of force development (RFD) in the superficial quadriceps muscles (rectus femoris [RF], vastus medialis [VM], and vastus lateralis [VL]).

Hypotheses: We hypothesized (1) there would be a significantly lower PT, lower RFD, and longer quadriceps EMD of the operative limb for the QT versus the BTB autograft; (2) the PT, the RFD, and the quadriceps EMD of the operative limb would be significantly depressed compared with those of the nonoperative limb, regardless of the surgical technique; and (3) there would be greater increases in the RF EMD than in the VM or the VL EMD.
