Clinical Utility and Patient Compliance With Mobile Applications for Home-Based Rehabilitation Following Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Objectives: Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) via open or minimally invasive (MI) techniques is commonly performed. Mobile applications for home-based therapy programs have grown in popularity.

Patterns of Misdiagnosis and Discordance in Detecting Osteoporosis: A Comparison of Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry and Lumbar Computed Tomography Hounsfield Units.

Study Design: This was a retrospective chart review.

Objective: This study aims to identify the prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) by lumbar computed tomography (CT) Hounsfield units (HUs) in patients who have normal or osteopenic bone determined by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).

Summary Of Background Data: OP is a critical issue in the postmenopausal and aging population.

Patient "No-Show" Increases the Risk of 90-Day Complications Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 6,776 Patients.

Background: Patients who "no-show" (NS) clinical appointments are at a high risk of adverse health outcomes. The objective of this study was to evaluate and characterize the relationship between NS visits prior to primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and 90-day complications after TKA.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 6,776 consecutive patients undergoing primary TKA.

Patient Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Decision Making: A Multi-Center Comparative Study.

Objective: Investigate the patient opinion on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Orthopaedics.

Methods: 397 orthopaedic patients from a large urban academic center and a rural health system completed a 37-component survey querying patient demographics and perspectives on clinical scenarios involving AI. An average comfort score was calculated from thirteen Likert-scale questions (1, not comfortable; 10, very comfortable).
