Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed relative value unit (RVU) reimbursements for various surgical treatments of proximal humerus fractures in elderly patients, specifically comparing reverse and total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA/TSA), hemiarthroplasty (HA), and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).
- Using data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, researchers examined 1,437 patients aged 65 and older between 2008 and 2016, assessing RVU per minute, reimbursement rates, and average annual revenue for each surgical option.
- Results showed that RSA/TSA had a significantly higher mean RVU per minute and reimbursement rate compared to HA and ORIF, indicating that orthopaedic surgeons can enhance their practice's cost

Background: Increased body mass may predispose children to a greater risk for radial head subluxation (RHS). Recent studies in the literature have reported a plateau in obesity prevalence among infants and toddlers. This study sought to examine recent epidemiological trends in RHS incidence from 2004 to 2018 using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database to determine how obesity patterns may affect RHS incidence.

Design: Retrospective analysis.
Purpose: To assess the success rate and complications of the surgical interventions used to manage chronic syndesmosis injuries.
Methods: Multiple online databases were queried to identify studies reporting operative intervention for chronic syndesmosis injuries.
Results: Modalities of operative fixation include suture-button fixation, arthroscopy and debridement, as well as arthrodesis.
