Traumatic Irreducible Pediatric Radial Head Dislocations: A Unique Case and Review of the Literature.

Background: Irreducible radial head dislocations are uncommon injuries and blocks to reduction typically result from interposed soft tissue. We report the case of a pediatric patient who sustained an irreducible radial head dislocation with a concomitant posterior elbow dislocation and coronoid process fracture. To the author's knowledge, irreducible radial head dislocations presenting as part of a terrible triad like constellation of injuries have not been previously reported.

Postoperative Spinal Orthoses: Types and Outcomes.

Introduction: Postoperative bracing (POB) after spinal surgery is a common practice that has been used for many decades. In the past few years, the indications, types, and outcomes of POB have been heavily questioned after many studies revealed no consistent evidence to support or refute the use of spinal orthoses after surgery.

Summary: Currently, there are no indications of the type, duration, or indication for many spinal orthoses and few studies have assessed their efficacy.

"Sawbones": A pilot study assessing simulation-based orthopedic training for medical students.

Intro: Simulation-based training has become a valuable new tool in medical education across the country. The Orthopedic Surgery Interest Group (OSIG) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine organized a benchtop training workshop known as "Sawbones" to give medical students essential exposure to basic techniques and instruments commonly used in orthopedic surgery. This pilot study seeks to investigate the participating students' perceptions of this workshop as part of a potential longitudinal intervention.

Compartment Syndrome Due to Reperfusion Injury from an Axillary Artery Occlusion: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Introduction: While commonly caused by traumatic injury and fracture, compartment syndrome can also result from reperfusion injury. Very few cases of prophylactic fasciotomy are mentioned when considering time to revascularization after prolonged vascular ischemia. We present a case of a patient who underwent multiple compartment prophylactic fasciotomies following reperfusion injury in the upper extremity.

Does Surgeon Level of Expertise Correlate with Patient Outcomes?

 It is difficult to evaluate the results of surgical techniques as there is inherent variability between surgeons in regard to experience, skill level, and knowledge. Tang suggested a classification system in 2009 in an attempt to standardize surgeon level of expertise, with categories ranging from nonspecialist (Level I) to expert (Level V). This epidemiological analysis of all articles citing Tang's original paper examines if a surgeon's self-reported level of expertise correlates with outcomes and evaluates whether the current definition of Tang level is sufficient to account for expertise bias.

Influential literature regarding proximal junctional kyphosis: A bibliometric review.

Study Design: Retrospective review.

Objective: This bibliometric review summarizes the publication trends and critical information about the most cited Proximal Junction Kyphosis (PJK) articles.

Background: Data: Proximal junctional kyphosis is frequently diagnosed after spinal fusion surgery.

Orthopedic approaches for bone sarcoma: A bibliometric review of the 50 most cited papers.

Background: Curative treatment of bone sarcoma is primarily based on operative management. The Orthopedic Oncology approach towards this disease has evolved greatly to the breakthrough in systemic treatment options as well as unique implant designs favoring limb salvage over amputations. The purpose of this study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of the top 50 most cited papers related to the orthopedic the approach to bone sarcomas.

Supplemental musculoskeletal anatomy education in a shortened medical school curriculum.

To address anatomy knowledge gaps exacerbated by the education constraints of a new shortened medical school curriculum and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Orthopedic Surgery Interest Group (OSIG) created a novel hybrid anatomy curriculum for students interested in orthopedic surgery. The main objectives were to determine (1) Does this elective supplement to the curriculum improve students' perceived confidence with regard to orthopedic anatomy? (2) What are the students' preferred formats for receiving this elective supplement to the curriculum? To determine this, we used a prospective study design to determine the impact of the OSIG's student-led hybrid anatomy sessions. A survey with a five-point Likert scale (1) Strongly disagree; (2) Disagree; (3) Neither agree nor disagree; (4) Agree; (5) Strongly agree; was used to quantify responses.
