Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) following injury and subsequent fixation of a distal femur fracture (DFFx) is associated with considerable morbidity. However, the incidence of VTE, associated factors, and the relative risk compared with hip fracture (HFx) fixation remains poorly characterized.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study using the PearlDiver M165 database to identify geriatric patients who underwent DFFx and HFx fixation.
Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with greater odds of complications following posterior lumbar fusion and further amplified for patients exposed to monoclonal antibody biologics.

Background: Posterior lumbar fusion (PLF) is a common spine surgery that may be considered in patients with underlying comorbidities, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Prior literature examining the association of this disease and PLF outcomes was done in the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), which only assessed in-hospital data and did not reveal an elevated risk of medical or surgical complications. However, characterization of PLF outcomes beyond hospital discharge is important and remains unknown for patients with IBD.

- The study analyzes inpatient falls (IPFs) in patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), noting that these falls should be preventable and are classified as "never events".
- No prior research has focused on the occurrence and trends of these falls in ACDF patients, prompting this investigation from 2010 to Q3 2022.
- Results show that out of 294,165 patients, 5,548 experienced falls, with the incidence of falls increasing over the years, highlighting the need for better preventive measures.
Article Synopsis
- Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent health issue that often begins as nonspecific LBP (NS-LBP) but may later be diagnosed as specific pathology LBP (SP-LBP) in some patients.
- The study aims to analyze the incidence of SP-LBP following an NS-LBP diagnosis, the types of healthcare providers involved in these cases, and the factors that may contribute to the development of SP-LBP within a year after the initial diagnosis.
- A large retrospective analysis was conducted using a national dataset, examining over 6.8 million adult patients diagnosed with NS-LBP between 2010 and early 2022, focusing on demographics and clinical history to understand the transition from NS-LBP to SP-LBP.
Study Design: Review article.
Objective: To review the literature on the effect of specialized pediatric spine teams on clinical outcomes.
