Associate Professor in General Nursing, University College Dublin, Ireland, and former Director of Medical and Clinical Affairs, AccuVein Inc, USA.
Aims: To share lessons learned from an evidence-based practice (EBP) initiative that implemented near-infrared (NIR) technology in a large US hospital system. A Clinical Technology Implementation Model (CTIM) that can be adapted for use in other health institutions is presented.
Background: EBP implementation, including the adoption of new cutting-edge technologies, is crucial to improving patient care.

University of California, Los Angeles, CA (R.J., J.L.S., S.S., D.S.L.).
Background and Purpose- Mechanical thrombectomy has been shown to improve clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, the impact of balloon guide catheter (BGC) use is not well established. Methods- STRATIS (Systematic Evaluation of Patients Treated With Neurothrombectomy Devices for Acute Ischemic Stroke) was a prospective, multicenter study of patients with large vessel occlusion treated with the Solitaire stent retriever as first-line therapy.

Conversion of ankle arthrodesis to total ankle arthroplasty has recently gained popularity. However, technical challenges are present when treating patients without a sufficient fibular buttress. We describe a technique for restoration of an adequate fibular buttress using an iliac crest bone graft or malleolar relocation.

Advanced Neuroscience Network/Tenet South Florida, Delray Beach (R.K., N.H.M.-K.).
Background: Endovascular treatment with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is beneficial for patients with acute stroke suffering a large-vessel occlusion, although treatment efficacy is highly time-dependent. We hypothesized that interhospital transfer to endovascular-capable centers would result in treatment delays and worse clinical outcomes compared with direct presentation.
Methods: STRATIS (Systematic Evaluation of Patients Treated With Neurothrombectomy Devices for Acute Ischemic Stroke) was a prospective, multicenter, observational, single-arm study of real-world MT for acute stroke because of anterior-circulation large-vessel occlusion performed at 55 sites over 2 years, including 1000 patients with severe stroke and treated within 8 hours.

Article Synopsis
- Mechanical thrombectomy with stent retrievers is now standard for treating acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion, as shown by the STRATIS registry which aimed to evaluate real-world treatment outcomes compared to randomized trials.
- The study involved 984 patients treated within 8 hours of symptom onset at 55 sites in the U.S., finding key metrics such as a median arrival-to-puncture time of 138 minutes and an 87.9% success rate in achieving sufficient blood flow restoration.
- At 90 days post-treatment, 56.5% of patients had a favorable recovery, but delays in treatment increased the risk of worse outcomes, highlighting the need for improved care systems to enhance patient results.
Plate Fixation With Autogenous Calcaneal Dowel Grafting Proximal Fourth and Fifth Metatarsal Fractures: Technique and Case Series.

Metaphyseal and proximal diaphyseal fractures of the lateral column metatarsals can have problems with healing. In particular, those involving the fifth metatarsal have been associated with a high nonunion rate with nonoperative treatment. Although intramedullary screw fixation results in a high union rate, delayed healing and complications can occur.
