Article Abstract
Background: Heterotopic ossification (HO) can result in poorer clinical outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Multiple modes of intervention have been evaluated for HO prevention, including the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. Additionally, multimodal pain management strategies including celecoxib have become more prominent. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the influence of celecoxib as part of postoperative analgesia on the risk of developing HO following the direct anterior approach (DA) for THA.
Methods: A retrospective query identified primary DA THAs performed by a single surgeon between 2013 and 2020. Patients were grouped according to those who received 3 weeks celecoxib upon discharge, and those who did not. Radiographs were used to categorize patients according to the Brooker classification system for HO. Preoperative and 2-week, 6-week, 3-month, and 1-year postoperative X-rays were evaluated.
Results: A total of 688 DA THAs were included, demonstrating a 9.6% (n = 66) incidence of HO with Brooker classification: 1: 5.7% (n = 39); 2: 2.6% (n = 18); 3: 1.2% (n = 8); and 4: 0.1% (n = 1). Patients who did not receive celecoxib had a 14.3% (52/364) rate of HO following THA (odds ratio 4.53, P < .001) vs only 4.3% (14/324) in the celecoxib group (odds ratio 0.22, P < .001). Overall, 9 patients (1.3%) went on to develop significant HO (Booker 3 or greater): 8 (2.2%) in the control group and 1 (0.3%) in the celecoxib group (P < .001).
Conclusion: Our findings suggest a significant reduction in the formation of HO following DA THA when using postoperative analgesic celecoxib as part of a multimodal pain protocol. Future prospective randomized studies are needed to identify ideal dosage, duration, and formulation to reduce the risk of HO while optimizing multimodal pain management.

Prenatal repair of myelomeningocele (MMC) is associated with lower rates of hydrocephalus requiring ventriculoperitoneal shunt and improved motor function when compared with postnatal repair. Efforts aiming to develop less invasive surgical techniques to decrease the risk for the pregnant patient while achieving similar benefits for the fetus have led to the implementation of fetoscopic surgical techniques. While no ideal anesthetic technique for fetoscopic MMC repair has been demonstrated, we present our anesthetic approach for these repairs, including considerations for both the pregnant patient and the fetus.

Sleep Related Painful Erections (SRPE) are parasomnias exclusive to Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, causing sleep disturbances, daytime fatigue, and impaired quality of life. Due to a lack of standardized management, we developed a diagnostic and treatment pathway for this rare condition at our institution. Patients diagnosed with SRPE from 2017-2024 by strict criteria were recruited into our novel pathway.

Background: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a major cause of pain and disability in older individuals worldwide. Although increasing studies of traditional machine learning (TML) and deep learning (DL) were conducted in the field of diagnosing LSS and gained prominent results, the performance of these models has not been analyzed systematically.
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to pool the results and evaluate the heterogeneity of the current studies in using TML or DL models to diagnose LSS, thereby providing more comprehensive information for further clinical application.
