Evaluation of Post-Operative Outcomes of Femoral Neck Fracture Interventions: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Femoral neck fractures (FNF) represent a significant challenge in orthopedic practice, demanding prompt intervention to restore function and mobility in affected individuals. Numerous surgical interventions have been developed to address these fractures, including internal fixation with devices such as the Femoral Neck System (FNS, DePuy Synthes, Inc., West Chester, PA, USA).

Impact of race and ethnicity on length of stay, discharge location, and total charges for inpatients with skin ulcers in New York.

Background: Black patients receiving outpatient care for skin ulcers are less likely to see a physician and are at risk for higher stage pressure injuries. While racial/ethnic differences in outpatient treatment of skin ulcers have been described, this study aims to elucidate potential differences in the inpatient setting using publicly available data.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database, a de-identified, patient-level dataset for inpatient visits in New York between 2009 and 2021.
