Objective: To investigate the causes of reoperation consultation, and the actual percentage and procedures of reoperation after previous orthognathic surgery.
Methods: The samples consisted of 30 patients who visited our clinic for reoperation consultation from October 2015 to September 2021 (6 males and 24 females; mean age at reoperation consultation, 28.4 y). Patient's causes of reoperation consultation were divided into "esthetic dissatisfaction," "airway changes," "temporomandibular disorders," "uncomfortable occlusion," and "other complications". In terms of esthetic dissatisfaction, the more detailed esthetic problem was evaluated by the clinical chart, facial photographs, and radiographs. In patients who actually underwent reoperation, the actual percentage and procedures of reoperation were investigated.
Results: The most prevalent causes for reoperation consultation were "esthetic dissatisfaction" (n = 21, 70.0%), followed by "airway changes" (n = 11, 36.7%), "uncomfortable occlusion" (n = 8, 26.7%), "other complications" (n = 5, 16.7%), and "temporomandibular disorder" (n = 4, 13.3%). Less than half of patients actually underwent reoperation (n = 13, 43.3%). Actual reoperation procedures included minor revision surgery, reconstruction surgery, or complete reoperation according to the patient's need. In case of complete reoperation, more accurate and predictable results were obtained by using virtual surgical planning, customized surgical guides, titanium surgical plates made with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technique, and a 3-dimensional printing method.
Conclusion: It is important to communicate with patients about expectations for facial esthetic improvement by orthognathic surgery for obtaining the patient's postoperative satisfaction.

Concurrent Panniculectomy With Abdominal Wall Reconstruction: A Propensity-scored Matched Study of Quality Improvement Outcomes.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
December 2024
Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC.
Background: Concurrent panniculectomy with abdominal wall reconstruction (CP-AWR) as a single-stage operation has reported increased complications, but constant quality improvement can improve results. This study describes outcomes for 21 years, impacted by evidence-based-practice changes.
Methods: Prospectively maintained database was reviewed for CP-AWR and separated by surgery date: "early" (2002-2016) and "recent" (2017-2023).
Nail-plate combination constructs versus single traditional constructs for distal femur fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
December 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Objectives: Distal femur fractures (DFF) are frequently treated surgically with single traditional constructs (STC), such as with a lateral plate or intramedullary nail, although nail-plate combination constructs (NPCC) are gaining attention. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes between NPCC and STC for surgical fixation of DFF to guide surgeon decision-making.
Methods: Data Sources: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis using PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Science Direct, and SPORTDiscus from database inception until January 10th, 2024.
Mid-term radiographic evaluation of a monoblock trabecular metal tibia following total knee arthroplasty in obese and morbidly obese patients.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
December 2024
Henry Community Health, 2200 Forest Ridge Parkway, New Castle, IN47362, USA.
Background: Indications for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have become more inclusive of morbidly obese patients, however, higher rates of complications and lower implant survival have also been reported in this population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mid-term survival, clinical, and radiographic outcomes of a cementless trabecular metal monoblock tibial component in severely obese patients.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of class II and III obese (BMI > 35) patients who received a cementless primary TKA.
Comparing Postoperative Outcomes of Isolated Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and the "Terrible Triad" Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Medial Meniscus Ramp and Lateral Meniscus Root Repairs.
Orthop J Sports Med
December 2024
Twin Cities Orthopedics, Edina, Minnesota, USA.
Background: A new "terrible triad" has been reported to be an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear with a concomitant medial meniscus ramp tear and lateral meniscus root tear. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for isolated ACL reconstruction (ACLR) versus an ACLR with concomitant medial meniscus ramp and lateral meniscus root repairs are not well known.
Purpose: To compare postoperative outcomes between isolated ACLR and ACLR with concomitant medial meniscus ramp and lateral meniscus root repairs.
Lower socioeconomic status is correlated with worse outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
J Orthop Surg Res

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Henry Ford Hospital, Henry Ford Health, 2799 W. Grand Blvd CFP-6, Detroit, MI, 48202, USA.
Background: Socioeconomic status has been recognized as a crucial social determinant of health influencing patient outcomes. Area Deprivation Index (ADI) is a validated measure of an area's socioeconomic status. Limited data exists on the impact of ADI and clinical outcomes and complications following rotator cuff repair (RCR).
