Anterior choroidal artery (AChA) aneurysms represent 2-5% of intracranial aneurysms. The proximity of the origin of the AChA to the aneurysm neck poses a risk of thromboembolic complications following treatment. AChA occlusion can result in significant neurological deficits.

- Public insurance, specifically Medicaid, is linked to a lower likelihood of undergoing surgery for shoulder dislocation compared to commercial insurance.
- Analysis of a national database showed patients with Medicaid had a significantly reduced chance of receiving surgical stabilization within 30 days, 1 year, and 2 years post-injury.
- The findings emphasize disparities in healthcare access for Medicaid patients, particularly among those aged 45-64 years.
Objectives: The goal of this study is to establish radiographic features and characteristics of patient injury in cases of femoral shaft fractures that predict the presence of ipsilateral femoral neck fractures (IFNFs).
Methods: Patient data was retrospectively assessed from a single level I trauma center through the electronic health record using (Current Procedural Terminology) CPT codes for both isolated and combined ipsilateral femoral shaft and neck fractures. Demographic information, injury characteristics, and independently reviewed radiographic features were collected and compared against the same information from a group of isolated femoral shaft fractures.
Purpose: Anabolic steroid therapy has been associated with tendon injury, but there is a paucity of evidence associating physiologic testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with tenosynovitis of the hand, specifically trigger finger and de Quervain tenosynovitis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between TRT and tenosynovitis of the hand.
Methods: This was a one-to-one exact matched retrospective cohort study using a large nationwide claims database.
