Congenital Vertical Talus: An Updated Review.

Congenital vertical talus (CVT) is the presence of rigid flatfoot deformity characterized by hindfoot valgus and equinus. This foot deformity is associated with midfoot dorsiflexion and forefoot abduction due to a fixed dorsal dislocation of the navicular relative to the head of the talus. It is often underdiagnosed in children due to its similarity to other disorders of the foot.

Intraoperative Intra-articular Antibiotic Injection Reduces Infection in Shoulder Arthroplasty.

Deep infection is a debilitating complication after shoulder arthroplasty. The authors hypothesized that an intra-articular, intraoperative injection of antibiotics would result in a lower infection rate compared with intravenous antibiotics alone. Before 2007, 164 patients (group A) did not receive intra-articular antibiotics.

Under Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest Is Less Frequent in Senior Authors: A Cross-sectional Review of All Authors Submitting to JAAOS Between 2014 and 2018.

The interactions between physicians and industry are necessary for advancement of clinical practice and improvement in medical devices. Physician-industry relationships also introduces financial conflicts of interest into research publications. Payments to physicians do not inherently introduce bias in research, but failure to disclose potential conflicts of interest can negatively impact the perceived integrity of authors, editors, and journals.

Incidence of Nerve Injury After Hip Arthroscopy.

Introduction: Hip arthroscopy is a commonly performed procedure that carries a notable risk of nerve injury secondary to port placement and the use of axial traction. Sensory neurapraxia of the pudendal nerve and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is most common; however, sexual dysfunction and sciatic nerve injury has also been reported. Reported incidence of nerve injury ranges between 1.

Total knee arthroplasty and fractures of the tibial plateau.

Tibial plateau fractures are common injuries that occur in a bimodal age distribution. While there are various treatment options for displaced tibial plateau fractures, the standard of care is open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). In physiologically young patients with higher demand and better bone quality, ORIF is the preferred method of treating these fractures.
