Case: A 10-year-old girl with a history of distal femur osteosarcoma underwent resection and limb reconstruction with a cemented custom expandable endoprosthesis. Immediately following stemmed implant insertion, the patient experienced severe cardiopulmonary collapse. Following emergent fluid and oxygen resuscitation by anesthesia, her transient cardiopulmonary instability resolved.

- GLP-1 receptor agonists, used for managing diabetes and weight loss, may increase complications post total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), including higher rates of deep vein thrombosis and myocardial infarction.
- A study analyzed data from 2010 to 2023, matching 1,259 patients on GLP-1 receptor agonists with a control group to assess postoperative medical complications and readmission rates.
- Results showed users had significantly more complications and readmissions within 90 days, but no difference in revision surgery rates within 2 years; further research is needed on the risks involved.
Background: This study aims to assess the impact of nicotine dependence on both 90-day major postoperative outcomes and 2-year implant-related outcomes in patients undergoing open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) for distal radius fractures.
Methods: We queried TriNetX, a national research database that provides real-time access to deidentified medical records, for patients of all ages who underwent an ORIF of the distal radius (Current Procedural Technology codes 25607, 25608, 25609) between 2001 and 2021. Patients were categorized by nicotine dependence history (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision code: F17), with groups 1:1 propensity matched for age, sex, race, ethnicity, body mass index, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Article Synopsis
- Periprosthetic humerus fractures, though rare, are becoming more common as shoulder arthroplasty procedures increase, leading to differing opinions among surgeons on whether to treat these fractures operatively or nonoperatively.
- A systematic review analyzed 20 studies focusing on treatment outcomes for these fractures, including operative procedures like open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and revision arthroplasty.
- The findings showed that 85% of fractures were treated surgically, but nonoperative treatment had a higher complication rate and a greater risk of malunion, especially in Cofield B fractures, where it failed in 57% of cases.
Introduction: Cervical disc displacement (CDD) may disqualify pilots from flying and have a profound impact on military unit capability. The objective of this retrospective database review is to characterize the incidence and demographic predictors of symptomatic cervical spine disc displacement in pilots of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and ground-based controls.
Materials And Methods: The Defense Military Epidemiology Database was queried for first-occurrence ICD-9 code 722.
