Purpose: To summarize complication rates, reoperation rates, length-of-stay (LOS), patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and range of motion following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in patients with preexisting psychiatric disorders (PDs) compared to controls.
Methods: Three databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE) were searched from inception to 4 March 2024 to identify studies comparing outcomes between patients undergoing anatomic (aTSA) or reverse TSA (rTSA) with or without a preexisting psychiatric condition. The authors adhered to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses and revised assessment of multiple systematic review guidelines.
Introduction: Residency programmes are in transition to a framework for competency-based medical education (CBME). The intersection of CBME with transformational learning (TL) experiences and professional identity formation (PIF) - particularly within senior learners in transitional states - is unknown but important to understand in order to develop and implement strategies to support trainees' professional development.
Methods: Through inductive qualitative methods, we conducted semi-structured interviews (n = 22) of current trainees and recent graduates from adult cardiology residency training programmes within Canada to explore the impact of TL experiences on residents' professional growth and identity formation.
Objectives: To compare reoperation rates of acute versus delayed reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) following a period of nonoperative treatment for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs). We also aimed to identify an optimal time interval from PHF to RTSA before the risk of reoperation significantly increased.
Methods: .
Article Synopsis
- This study aims to evaluate various bone graft techniques used during surgery for complex proximal humerus fractures by searching multiple databases for relevant studies published up until February 2023.
- A total of 33 articles involving 964 patients were analyzed, identifying seven types of bone augments, with most patients being around 67 years old and a majority being female, showing similar fracture union rates of about 99.6%.
- The Constant Murley Score varied by graft type, with the fibular strut allograft receiving the highest average score, while some groups needed revision surgeries with the usual complications being avascular necrosis and hardware issues.
Background: We aimed to establish a standardized protocol for managing multidrug-resistant (MDR) spinal tuberculosis (TB), addressing the surgical options, ranging from computed tomography-guided biopsy to intraoperative sampling.
Methods: This study developed a treatment/management protocol based on an analysis of clinical, radiological, and postoperative outcomes for 21 patients with spinal MDR-TB. Over 24 months, 21 patients with multidrug-resistant spinal TB underwent the following testing: erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), numerical rating scale (NRS), and the American Spinal Injury Association Scale.
