Reduced Opioid Use Among Patients Who Received Liposomal Bupivacaine Brachial Plexus Block for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

Purpose This retrospective cohort explores the efficacy of regional shoulder blocks using Exparel™ in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA)/reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) to reduce total opioid prescription, refills, and length of stay in the acute care setting. Methods Patients who underwent TSA/RSA by a single surgeon in a three-year period were evaluated. Patients in the case group received liposomal bupivacaine 1.

Young or Old Age and Non-White Race Are Associated With Poor Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Response Compliance After Orthopaedic Surgery.

Purpose: To investigate orthopaedic patient compliance with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and identify factors that improve response rates.

Methods: Our search strategy comprised a combination of key words and database-specific subject headings for the concepts of orthopaedic surgical procedures, compliance, and PROMs from several research databases from inception to October 11, 2022. Duplicates were removed.

The effect of an online-supervised exercise program in older people with diabetes on fasting blood sugar, psychological resilience and quality of life: A double blind randomised controlled trial.

Background: Online exercise interventions can improve physical outcomes. Online supervised exercise program is more effective than unsupervised exercise program.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of an online supervised exercise program on fasting blood glucose, body mass index (BMI), resilience and quality of life in older people with diabetes.

Comparison of Spinal Mobility in Professional Musicians With and Without Pelvic Girdle Pain.

Background: Prolonged sitting and performance hours in musicians may lead to an increased risk of musculoskeletal pain around the spine and pelvis. This situation may lead to an asymmetry of spinal segments, which in turn may correlate with muscle contractions around the lumbopelvic area and can lead to musculoskeletal pelvic girdle pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the segmental mobility of the vertebral column in two groups of musicians, those with and without pelvic girdle pain.
