Postoperative surgical site infections remain a significant and prevalent complication after open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures. Local antibiotics have been shown to decrease risk of postoperative infection, although recent evidence is conflicting. We provide a consistent and replicable technique for delivering intraoperative broad-spectrum antibiotics in the form of a putty applied directly to surgical implants. With this technique, systemic levels of those antibiotics remain safe and stable.

Impaired spatial coding of the hippocampus in a dentate gyrus hypoplasia mouse model.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
February 2025
Zanvyl Krieger Mind/Brain Institute, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218.
The hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) is thought to orthogonalize inputs from the entorhinal cortex (pattern separation) and relay this information to the CA3 region. In turn, attractor dynamics in CA3 perform a pattern completion or error correction operation before sending its output to CA1. In a mouse model of congenital hypoplasia of the DG, a deficiency in the (Wls) gene, specifically in cells expressing , which targets neuronal progenitors, led to an almost total absence of dentate granule cells and modestly impaired performance in spatial tasks.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York.
Case: We present the case of a 24-year-old woman who sustained a left midshaft clavicle fracture with acute subclavian artery compression, subclavian vein laceration, and complete brachial plexus palsy after a motor vehicle collision. The patient underwent urgent open reduction internal fixation of the clavicle and repair of the subclavian vein. Two years later, she underwent opponensplasty and flexor digitorum profundus tendon transfers.

JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
S-SPIRE Center, Department of Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California.
Importance: Transportation insecurity and lack of social support are 2 understudied social determinants of health that contribute to excess morbidity, mortality, and acute health care utilization. However, whether and how these social determinants of health are associated with cancer screening has not been determined and has implications for preventive care.
Objective: To determine whether transportation insecurity or social support are associated with screening adherence for colorectal, breast, and cervical cancer.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a highly prevalent condition in women. We hypothesized that the Tampsec™ vaginal tampon will be efficacious and well tolerated in its treatment.
Methods: This was a multicenter open-label parallel-group randomized control trial.
Open Versus Minimally Invasive Morgagni Hernia Repair in Pediatric Surgery: A Review.
J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Morgagni hernia (MH), a rare type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, does not have an established protocol for surgical repair. A MEDLINE search with terms related to various surgical approaches to repair MH in children was conducted. Articles comprising robotic-assisted surgery, laparoscopy, laparotomy, thoracoscopy, and thoracotomy over the last 20 years were assessed.
