Background: Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is an effective treatment for a wide range of shoulder pathologies. Literature investigating the impact of COVID-19 diagnosis on outcomes following TSA is limited. The objective of this study was to perform a retrospective multi-institutional database analysis to investigate the association between preoperative COVID-19 diagnosis and 60-day complications following TSA.

- Scheuermann's disease is a condition often seen in children that leads to hyperkyphosis, and this study investigates whether vitamin D deficiency affects health outcomes in these patients.
- Using the TriNetX database, researchers analyzed data from 11,277 U.S. patients with Scheuermann's disease, finding that 9.08% had vitamin D deficiency.
- The study revealed that vitamin D deficiency correlated with higher rates of pain, depression, and emergency room visits, while notably showing lower odds for surgical interventions on the spine.
Background: In the advent of increasing antibiotic resistance, several studies sought to determine antibiotic prescription trends; however, no pattern has been firmly identified particularly for the burned population. We performed a query of burned patients in a large established database to understand differences in antibiotic use related to patient-specific factors.
Methods: Burned patients with systemic antibiotics given within 7 days of injury were identified on the TriNetX database.
Background: This study investigated the prevalence of adverse cardiac events following a total joint arthroplasty and subsequently analyzed risk factors that may increase the likelihood of these events.
Methods: Data for this study were extracted from a large national database. Chi-squared analyses and multivariate modelings were performed to determine the risk factors associated with 30-day perioperative troponin elevation, myocardial infarction (MI), and heart failure.
The Effects of COVID-19 on Orthopaedic Surgery Training Programs in the United States.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev
May 2023
Introduction: This study investigates the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical education, research opportunities, and mental health in orthopaedic surgical training programs.
Methods: A survey was sent to the 177 Electronic Residency Application Service-participating orthopaedic surgery training programs. The survey contained 26 questions covering demographics, examinations, research, academic activities, work settings, mental health, and educational communication.
Objective: To identify populations of authors who post about cochlear implants (CIs) on Instagram and TikTok, to illustrate the content of these posts, and to elucidate factors that might help surgeons better educate CI patients.
Study Design: Qualitative study.
Setting: Instagram and TikTok social media platforms.
While the roots of burn care date back several millennia, recognition and treatment of psychiatric trauma has had a more contemporary journey. Our understanding of burn care has evolved largely separately from our understanding of psychiatry; however, proper care of the burn patient relies on the comprehension of both disciplines. Historically, high burn mortality rates have caused clinicians to focus on the physiological causes of burn mortality.

The growing prevalence of 6-year integrated plastic surgery residencies, duty hour restrictions, and new subspecialty training fellowships for general surgeons have changed the training experience of plastic surgery fellows.
Methods: A retrospective review of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) case logs for graduating fellows of independent plastic surgery fellowships in the United States was conducted from 2011 to 2019.
