The impact of Canadian-produced research on the global orthopedic literature: a bibliometric analysis.

Background: Little is known about the quality and impact of Canadian-produced research relative to that of other developed nations. The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of Canadian authors to the orthopedic literature globally and nationally as well as Canada's research productivity in orthopedics. We hypothesized that Canada ranks among the most impactful countries in terms of orthopedic research productivity.

Midterm results of titanium conical Wagner stem with challenging femoral anatomy: Survivorship and unique bone remodeling.

Background: Complex anatomy of the proximal femur makes total hip arthroplasty (THA) more challenging. Short, straight, fluted and conical titanium stem like the Wagner Cone can be helpful to address small femoral canal, increased femoral neck version, important leg length discrepancy or proximal femoral deformity. The outcome in these patients is less assured and associated with high rate of complications.

Should We Use Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty in Patients ≥70 Years Old With a Femoral Neck Fracture? A Review of Literature and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Bipolar (BHA) and unipolar hemiarthroplasties (UHA) are interchangeably used in elderly patients with a displaced femoral neck fracture. We ask if there is a difference between BHA and UHA with regards to hip function, in elderly patients.

Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted of randomized controlled trials comparing BHA to UHA.

The risk of venous thromboembolism in surgically treated hip fracture: A retrospective cohort study of 5184 patients.

Introduction: Elderly patients undergoing surgery for a hip fracture are at risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The known risk of VTE is low due to thromboprophylaxis (1.8-2.

Factors Associated With Job Satisfaction in Medical Oncology Practices: Results From a Multisite Survey.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the factors influencing job satisfaction of nurses, physicians, and advanced practice providers in ambulatory oncology settings.

Background: Job satisfaction is essential to clinician well-being and quality of care.

Methods: In 2017, clinicians from 29 ambulatory medical oncology practices completed anonymous paper questionnaires that examined job satisfaction, clinician-to-clinician communication, and perceptions of patient safety.
