Strategies aimed at preventing long-term opioid use in trauma and orthopaedic surgery: a scoping review.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
March 2022
Background: Long-term opioid use, which may have significant individual and societal impacts, has been documented in up to 20% of patients after trauma or orthopaedic surgery. The objectives of this scoping review were to systematically map the research on strategies aiming to prevent chronic opioid use in these populations and to identify knowledge gaps in this area.
Methods: This scoping review is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist.
Context: The role of robot-assisted surgery continues to expand at a time when trainers and proctors have travel restrictions during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Objective: To provide guidance on setting up and running an optimised telementoring service that can be integrated into current validated curricula. We define a standardised approach to training candidates in skill acquisition via telepresence technologies.
Article Synopsis
- The project aims to provide ethical guidelines for developing AI applications in surgical training, addressing the potential pitfalls associated with utilizing AI in healthcare.
- It involved a systematic approach with a steering group reviewing literature, followed by expert panels discussing ethical implications and reaching consensus using the Delphi method, achieving 100% response in three rounds.
- The resulting guidance highlighted key issues such as data protection, reproducibility, transparency, predictive analytics, inherent biases, and identified training areas most likely to benefit from AI, reflecting a strong consensus among experts.
Purpose: Montreal has been the epicentre of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in Canada. Given the regional disparities in incidence and mortality in the general population, we aimed to describe local characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of critically ill COVID-19 patients in Montreal.
Methods: A single-centre retrospective cohort of consecutive adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal with confirmed COVID-19 were included.
Purpose: Short stems were developed with the promise of providing easier implantation, facilitating revision, reducing thigh pain and proximal stress shielding. The aim of this study is to present the mid-term clinical results of a titanium short stem with modular neck.
Methods: This is a prospective case series of 144 THAs performed on a series of 131 patients using the PROFEMUR Preserve Femoral Stem (MicroPort Orthopedics, Arlington, TN, USA).
