    Abstract Introduction: The physician-patient interaction now begins before patients arrive in the office. Online ratings, social media profiles, and online award status are all components of physician online reputation which contributes to the patient's initial impressions. Therefore, it is important to understand the interplay of these factors and determine if there is a consistent trend indicating the value of this information.
    Methods: We Identified all (N ​= ​160) registered American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) in New England using the https://findadoctor.aahks.net/tool for Massachusetts (MA), Connecticut (CT), Rhode Island (RI), Vermont (VT), New Hampshire (NH), and Maine (ME) on 6/26/2023. We collected surgeon age, fellowship graduation year, and practice type (i.e. Academic or Private). The average 5-star rating and number of ratings were collected from four websites. Any professional-use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube Channel, Personal Websites, or Institutional Websites were identified and a modified SMI Score was calculated. Finally, Castle Connolly Top Doctor, Local Magazine (e.g. Boston Magazine) Top Doctor, or the presence of having any award was noted for each surgeon.
    Results: We identified several significant trends indicating that online awards were associated with higher online ratings. Social media presence, as determined by SMI Score, was also correlated with higher ratings overall and a higher likelihood of having an online award.
    Conclusion: Given the observed trends and reported importance patients place on ratings and awards, surgeons may consider increasing online engagement via social media and encouraging patients to share their experience via online ratings.

    Abstract Background: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) carries major morbidity and mortality as well as a complicated and lengthy treatment course. In patients who have high degrees of socioeconomic disadvantage, this may be a particularly devastating complication. Our study sought to evaluate the impact of socioeconomic deprivation on outcomes following treatment for PJI of the knee.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures performed for the treatment of initial PJI between 2008 and 2020 at a single tertiary care center in the United States. The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was used to quantify socioeconomic deprivation. The primary outcome measure was presence of a functional knee joint at the time of most recent follow-up defined as TKA components or an articulating spacer. A total of 96 patients were included for analysis. The median follow-up duration was 26.5 months.
    Results: There was no significant difference in the rate of treatment failure (P = .63). However, the proportion of patients who had a functional knee arthroplasty (in contrast to having undergone arthrodesis, amputation, or retention of a static spacer) declined significantly with increasing ADI index (81.8% for the least disadvantaged group, 58.7% for the middle group, 42.9% for the most disadvantaged group, P = .021).
    Conclusions: Patients who have a higher socioeconomic disadvantage as measured by ADI are less likely to maintain a functional knee arthroplasty following treatment for TKA PJI. These findings support continued efforts to improve access to care and optimize treatment plans for patients who have socioeconomic disadvantage.

    Abstract Introduction: Product guarantees are known to the manufacturing industry, however warranties have been rare in Orthopaedic surgery. Over the last 10 years, select manufacturers of implants have instituted warranties of varying scope, length, and reimbursement. This phenomenon prompted us to investigate the landscape of warranties in Orthopaedics and compare that to other medical industries to better inform their impact on patient care.
    Methods: We conducted a systematic review of patient access material of over 120 Orthopaedic manufacturers including that of the Top 25 grossing companies of 2022 to identify the prevalence and scope of these warranties.
    Results: We identified eight companies that offer a warranty on implants. The expiration time for the implant warranties ranged from one year to lifetime. The scope of the warranties ranged from coverage of a one-time component replacement to outcome-based guarantees that cover any complications and revisions that may result from the surgery.
    Discussion: While the use of warranties remains uncommon in orthopaedics, their utility is expanding and evolving. Contemporary warranties appear to have a focus on enhancing product-marketability and improving quality-control.

    Abstract Animal abundance estimation is increasingly based on drone or aerial survey photography. Manual postprocessing has been used extensively; however, volumes of such data are increasing, necessitating some level of automation, either for complete counting, or as a labour-saving tool. Any automated processing can be challenging when using such tools on species that nest in close formation such as

    Abstract Melanoma is among the most devastating human malignancies. Accurate diagnosis and prognosis are essential to offer optimal treatment. Histopathology is the gold standard for establishing melanoma diagnosis and prognostic features. However, discrepancies often exist between pathologists, and analysis is costly and time-consuming. Deep-learning algorithms are deployed to improve melanoma diagnosis and prognostication from histological images of melanoma. In recent years, the development of these machine-learning tools has accelerated, and machine learning is poised to become a clinical tool to aid melanoma histology. Nevertheless, a review of the advances in machine learning in melanoma histology was lacking. We performed a comprehensive literature search to provide a complete overview of the recent advances in machine learning in the assessment of melanoma based on hematoxylin eosin digital pathology images. In our work, we review 37 recent publications, compare the methods and performance of the reviewed studies, and highlight the variety of promising machine-learning applications in melanoma histology.

    Abstract Demand for acute care is forecasted to grow in the United States. To meet this demand, nurse practitioners (NPs) are increasingly employed in acute care settings. Yet, there is concern about an adequate supply of acute care NPs given demand. Further, professional nursing organizations recommend aligning an NP's role with their education, certification, licensure, and practice. Given workforce constraints and the policy environment, little is known about how hospitals approach hiring NPs for acute care roles. The purpose of this study was to explore advanced practice provider (APP) directors' approaches to hiring NPs within the context of alignment and describe factors that influence hiring decisions. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 17 APP directors in hospitals and health systems. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded using an iterative, hybrid inductive and deductive method. Two themes emerged: (1) local factors that inform aligned hiring and (2) adaptive hiring responses to changing environments. Practices around hiring NPs varied across institutions influenced by organization and state policies and regulations, workforce availability, and institutional culture. Most APP directors recognized trends towards hiring aligned NPs for acute care roles. However, they also identified barriers to fully aligning their NP workforce and described adaptive strategies including hiring physician assistants, building relationships with APP schools, and leveraging hospital resources to develop the APP workforce to meet care delivery demands given the current NP workforce supply. Future research is needed to assess widespread practices around acute care NP alignment and the implications of alignment for patient and organizational outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Orthopedic Surgery Fellowship programs offer highly specialized training that varies based on the training environment and surgical experience. Additionally, for Adult Reconstruction programs, robotic-assisted surgery exposure has been a widely discussed topic. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative value of various factors to Adult Hip and Knee Fellowship applicants, and their perceptions of robotic-assisted arthroplasty.
    Methods: We surveyed 780 applicants who applied to our fellowship to matriculate in 2020 to 2024. We received 158 responses (20.3% response rate). We assessed factors concerning people and perceptions, logistics, salary and benefits, program reputation and curriculum, and surgical experience. Additionally, we surveyed fellows' attitudes toward using robotic surgery and its impact on patient outcomes.
    Results: The highest-rated factors were Level of Hands-On Operative Experience (4.83), Revision Hip Volume (4.72), Revision Knee Volume (4.71), Multiple Surgical Exposures to the Hip (4.59), and Clinical Case Variety (4.59). Respondents who were postfellowship matriculation placed significantly more value on Exposure to Multiple Attendings with Surgical Diversity (P = .01), and Anterior Hip Volume (P = .04), and less value on Geographic Location (P = .04) and Patient-Specific Instrumentation (P = .02) than prematriculates. Overall, 65% of applicants plan to or currently use robotics, 7.6% do not, and 27.2% said "Maybe". Those who plan to or currently use robotics most cited procedure fidelity, patient-preference, and marketability as reasons to use robotics.
    Conclusions: Hands-on surgical experience and revision volume were the most important factors for fellowship applicants. Applicants placed lower importance on robotics exposure and their perspectives on robotics in their future practice were highly variable. Our results will inform fellowship programs and future applicants what previous applicants have valued in their training to help guide fellowship program structure, resource management, as well as recruitment.
