Background: The incidence of chronic kidney disease is increasing, but most cases are not diagnosed until the accidental finding of abnormal laboratory data or the presentation of severe symptoms. Patients with chronic kidney disease are reported to have an increased risk of postoperative mortality and morbidities, but previous studies mainly targeted populations undergoing cardiovascular surgery. The authors aimed to evaluate the risk of postoperative mortality and complications in a surgical population with preoperative renal insufficiency (RI).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database between 2013 and 2018 to evaluate the risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality in the surgical population. Patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 were defined as the RI group. Propensity score matching methods and multivariate logistic regression were used to calculate the risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality.
Results: After propensity score matching, 502 281 patients were included in the RI and non-RI groups. The RI group had a higher risk of 30-day in-hospital mortality (odds ratio: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.49-1.58) than the non-RI group. The RI group was associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications, including myocardial infarction, stroke, pneumonia, septic shock, and postoperative bleeding. The RI group was also associated with an increased risk of prolonged ventilator use for over 48 h, readmission, and reoperation.
Conclusion: Patients with preoperative RI have an increased risk of postoperative 30-day mortality and complications. RI group patients with current dialysis, estimated glomerular filtration rate less than or equal to 30 ml/min/1.73 m 2 or concomitant anemia had an elevated risk of postoperative mortality.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of different subtypes of non-punctate echogenic foci in thyroid malignancy.
Methods: Retrospective research of 342 thyroid nodules with calcification was performed. The echogenic foci were divided into punctate echogenic foci (type I) and non-punctate echogenic foci (type II), and type II were further divided into four subtypes: macrocalcification (type IIa), continuous peripheral calcification (type IIb), discontinuous peripheral calcification (type IIc) and isolated calcification (type IId).

Introduction: Total joint arthroplasties generally achieve good outcomes, but chronic pain and disability are a significant burden after these interventions. Acknowledging relevant risk factors can inform preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify chronic pain profiles 6 months after arthroplasty using the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases) classification and to find pre and postsurgical predictors of these profiles.

Introduction: There is a lack of clinical evidence supporting the decision-making process between high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicomparmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in gray zone indication, such as moderate medial osteoarthritis with moderate varus alignment. This study compared the outcomes between HTO and UKA in such cases and assessed the risk factor for not maintaining clinical improvements.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 65 opening-wedge HTOs and 55 UKAs with moderate medial osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ 3 and Ahlback grade < 3) and moderate varus alignment (5°< Hip-Knee-Ankle angle < 10°) over 3 years follow-up.

Background: In the case of end-stage hallux rigidus, first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint arthrodesis is the gold-standard and is traditionally performed via an open approach. However, complications such as nonunion have been reported to be as high as 30%. Recently, there have been reports demonstrating a percutaneous approach to be effective and safe.

Purpose: To analyze the frequency and predictive factors of the development of postoperative pectus excavatum and scoliosis in children who underwent surgery for cystic lung disease.
Methods: This study examined patients who underwent surgery for cystic lung disease (open and thoracoscopic) between July 2000 and December 2018 with a > 3-year follow-up period. Lesion size, surgical outcomes, and subsequent musculoskeletal complications were compared between the open surgery and thoracoscopic surgery groups.
