Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Providing Guideline-Concordant Care After Hip Fracture Surgery.

Importance: Institutions have adopted protocol-driven standardized hip fracture programs (SHFPs). However, concerns persist regarding bias in adherence to guideline-concordant care leading to disparities in implementing high-quality care for patients recovering from surgery for hip fracture.

Objective: To assess disparities in the implementation of guideline-concordant care for patients after hip fracture surgery in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) Targeted Hip Fracture (THF) Database.

The predominant insertion of the ischiofemoral ligament is a merging to the iliofemoral ligament as demonstrated on magnetic resonance arthrogram studies.

Background: The capsular ligaments at the hip joint work in synchrony with the acetabulum and femoral head for articular stability. There is a lack of understanding about ischiofemoral ligament (ISFL) anatomy and function.

Purpose: To assess the insertion of the ISFL in non-arthritic adult hips.

The Validity and Applicability of the Revised Delirium Rating Scale (DRS-R98) for Delirium Severity Assessment in a Critical Care Setting.

Background: Delirium is a neuropsychiatric syndrome common in critical illness. Worsening delirium severity is associated with poorer clinical outcomes, yet its assessment remains under-reported with most severity assessment tools not validated for critical care. The DRS-R98 is a widely applied and validated tool.

National trends in distribution of underrepresented minorities within United States general surgery residency programs: A longitudinal panel study.

Background: Cultural affinity with a provider improves satisfactoriness of healthcare. We examined 2005-2019 trends in racial/ethnic diversity/inclusion within general surgery residency programs.

Methods: We triangulated 2005-2019 race/ethnicity data from Association of American Medical Colleges surveys of 4th-year medical students, the Electronic Residency Application Service, and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-affiliated general surgery residencies.

Success of staged revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in eradication of periprosthetic joint infection.

Introduction: Management of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in shoulder arthroplasty remains a challenge, with no established gold standard treatment. This study presents the unique experience of a high-volume single-surgeon, single-institution approach on staged revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) for infection. The authors theorize that staged revision RTSA is an effective treatment for PJI.
