The lesser trochanter profile is an accurate and reliable measure of femoral rotation for intramedullary nailing.

Introduction: The lesser trochanter profile (LTP) method is an intraoperative fluoroscopic technique that can assess the femoral version and limit malrotation. The purpose of this study was to directly assess the accuracy and reliability of the LTP method, as well as determine the incidence of malrotation produced by this technique.

Methods: Three groups of observers (fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons, orthopedic residents, and medical students) utilized the LTP method to replicate pre-imaged rotation angles on a cadaveric femur bone.

Rigorous Mathematical Derivation of Inclination Angle for Single Cut Rotational Osteotomy for Tibia Deformity Correction.

Background: To rigorously derive easy to use formulae for the inclination angle for single cut rotation osteotomy that can be used for tibia deformity correction.

Method: Three theorems were proven using trigonometric identities and concepts of linear algebra. These were rigorously shown.

Dietary Fructose and Sodium Consumed during Early Mid-Life Are Associated with Hypertensive End-Organ Damage by Late Mid-Life in the CARDIA Cohort.

We aimed to investigate how dietary fructose and sodium impact blood pressure and risk of hypertensive target organ damage 10 years later. Data from = 3116 individuals were obtained from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. Four groups were identified based on the four possible combinations of the lower and upper 50th percentile for sodium (in mg) and fructose (expressed as percent of total daily calories).

TikTok as an Educational Tool for Kidney Stone Prevention.

Introduction: The incidence of kidney stones in the United States continues to increase. Although dietary interventions have shown to be effective in reducing stone events, adherence to medical management continues to be a limiting factor. For that reason, patient education has become a focus of many physicians.

Efficacy and Outcome Measurement of iFactor/ABM/P-15 in Lumbar Spine Surgery: A Systematic Review.

Study Design: Systematic Review.

Objectives: To determine the efficacy and overall outcomes of iFactor/ABM/P-15 following lumbar spine surgery.

Methods: We performed a search of the Cochrane Library, Medline Ovid, PubMed, and SCOPUS databases from inception until August 2023.
