Objectives: Evaluating the outcomes of enhanced case management (ECM) for patients with tuberculosis (TB) in the North Central London TB Service (NCLTBS).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: The NCLTBS provides care for persons diagnosed with TB across north and central London.
Purpose: Our purpose was to identify patient characteristics and visit components that affect patient satisfaction with virtual new patient visits in an outpatient hand surgery clinic as measured by the Press Ganey Outpatient Medical Practice Survey (PGOMPS) total score (primary outcome) and provider subscore (secondary outcome).
Methods: Adult patients evaluated through virtual new patient visits at a tertiary academic medical center between January 2020 and October 2020 who completed the PGOMPS for virtual visits were included. Data regarding demographics and visit characteristics were collected via chart review.
Background: This analysis examined how the application of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons appropriate use criteria (AUC) for developmental dysplasia of the hip in infants would change treatment patterns and outcomes for Graf IIA hips at a single quaternary pediatric hospital.
Methods: After Institutional Review Board approval, patient medical records were reviewed and data were collected. Graf IIa hips were defined as alpha angle (AA) 50 to 59 degrees.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount of saline required to identify a positive traumatic shoulder arthrotomy in a cadaveric model. In addition, intra-articular pressure monitoring was conducted to confirm needle placement and evaluate peak pressure curves prior to capsular failure.
Methods: We conducted a cadaveric study using thirty fresh-frozen upper extremities with maintained glenohumeral joint.
