Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how early-career orthopedic surgeons performed medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) repairs versus reconstructions from 2010 to 2020, focusing on training backgrounds and complication rates.
- Data showed that out of 187 procedures for isolated MUCL injuries, most were reconstructions (83%), but the percentage of repairs increased notably over the years, from 10% in 2010 to 38% in 2020.
- Complication rates for reconstructions (11.6%) were significantly lower than for repairs (25%), although this difference was particularly noted only in the Hand Surgery fellowship group.
Cardiac events are an important cause of postsurgical morbidity and mortality. Statin drugs have been studied as potentially risk-modifying agents in perioperative medicine. They have been shown to confer a protective benefit in cardiac surgery, but the evidence available in noncardiac surgery patient populations remains less conclusive.
