    Abstract Spine surgeons are often faced with a profoundly difficult challenge in surgically treating adult degenerative scoliosis. Deformity correction surgery is complicated by the difficulty in offering extensive surgical corrections to the elderly, complication-prone population it commonly affects. As spine surgeons attempt to offer minimally invasive solutions to this disease process, the need for fusion of the fractional curve at L4, L5, and S1 may be discounted. A treatment strategy to identify, address, and treat the fractional curve with either open or minimally invasive techniques can lead to improved patient outcomes and decrease revision rates in this complicated pathologic process.

    Abstract Purpose: To present a case of frosted branch angiitis associated with an exacerbation of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD).
    Methods: Single case report.
    Results: A 31-year-old woman presented with a flare of her long-standing MCTD after a change in her immunosuppressive medications. She developed blurred vision and floaters first in the left eye but eventually in both eyes. Fundoscopy showed patchy perivascular sheathing of tertiary branch venules surrounded by retinal hemorrhages characterized as frosted branch angiitis. The patient's MCTD symptoms and retinal vasculitis improved with continued immunosuppressive therapy. At 1-month follow-up, her visual acuity had improved to 20/20 bilaterally with complete resolution on fundoscopy.
    Conclusion: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of frosted branch angiitis seen in association with MCTD. The improvement in the patient's visual acuity and fundoscopic findings in this case supports the role of immunosuppressive therapy to treat secondary frosted branch angiitis associated with an autoimmune condition such as MCTD. However, it is recommended that a comprehensive medical workup is performed to exclude an infective cause, particularly in immunocompromised patients.

    Abstract SummaryPerioperative neurocognitive disorders including postoperative delirium (POD) are common complications of anaesthesia and surgery, associated with morbidity, mortality and a large economic cost. Currently, limited data are available on the incidence of POD in the New Zealand population. The objective of this study was to utilise New Zealand national level datasets to identify the incidence of POD. Our primary outcome was defined as a diagnosis of delirium via ICD 9/10 coding within seven days of surgery. We also analysed demographic, anaesthetic and surgical characteristics. All adult patients undergoing any surgical intervention under sedation, regional, general or neuraxial anaesthesia were included, and patients who received surgical intervention under local anaesthetic infiltration alone were excluded. We reviewed ten years of patient admissions from 2007 to 2016. Our sample size was 2,249,910 patients. The incidence of POD was 1.9%, much lower than previously observed, potentially indicating significant under-reporting of POD in this national level database. With acknowledgement of the limitations of potential undercoding and under-reporting, we found that the incidence of POD was higher with increasing age, male sex, general anaesthesia, Māori ethnicity, increasing comorbidity, surgical severity and emergency surgery. A diagnosis of POD was associated with increased mortality and hospital length of stay. Our results highlight potential risk factors of POD and disparities in health outcomes in New Zealand. Additionally, these findings suggest systemic under-reporting of POD in national level datasets.

    Abstract Background: There is growing interest in the perioperative management of patients who have indications for hip and knee arthroplasty in the setting of modifiable risk factors such as morbid obesity, poorly controlled diabetes, and smoking. A recent survey of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) found that 95% of respondents address modifiable risk factors prior to surgery. The aim of this study was to poll Australian arthroplasty surgeons regarding their approach to patients who have modifiable risk factors.
    Methods: The survey tool used in the AAHKS study was adapted for use in the Australian context and distributed to the membership of the Arthroplasty Society of Australia via SurveyMonkey. There were 77 responses received, representing a response rate of 64%.
    Results: The majority of respondents were experienced, high volume arthroplasty surgeons. Overall, 91% of respondents restricted access to arthroplasty for patients who have modifiable risk factors. There were 72% restricting access for excessive body mass index, 85% for poor diabetic control, and 46% for smoking. Most respondents made decisions based on personal experience or literature review rather than hospital or departmental pressures. While 49% of surgeons believed that current payment systems did not impair their ability to achieve good outcomes, 58% believed that certain arthroplasty patients would benefit from additional intervention, based on their socioeconomic status.
    Conclusion: Over 90% of surgeons who responded address modifiable risk factors prior to surgery. This finding aligns with the practice patterns of AAHKS members, despite differences in healthcare systems.

    Abstract Purpose: Nonadherence to medication reduces treatment effectiveness, and in chronic conditions it can significantly reduce health outcomes. In glaucoma, suboptimal adherence can lead to sight loss, which places a greater financial burden on society and reduces patients' quality of life. Interventions to improve adherence have so far had limited success and lack robust theoretical underpinnings. A better understanding of the determinants of medication adherence behaviour is needed in order to develop interventions that can target these factors more effectively. This systematic review aims to identify modifiable barriers and enablers to glaucoma medication adherence and identify factors most likely to influence adherence behaviour.
    Recent findings: We searched CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and sources of grey literature up to August 2022 for studies reporting determinants of glaucoma medication adherence. Data describing modifiable barriers/enablers to adherence were extracted and analysed using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), a behavioural framework consisting of 14 domains representing theoretical factors that most likely influence behaviour. Data were deductively coded into one of the TDF domains and inductively analysed to generate themes. Key behavioural domains influencing medication adherence were identified by frequency of study coding, level of elaboration and expressed importance. Eighty-three studies were included in the final synthesis. Four key domains influencing glaucoma medication adherence were identified: 'Environmental Context and Resources', 'Knowledge', 'Skills' and 'Memory, Attention and decision processes'. Frequently reported barriers included complex eyedrop regimens, lack of patient understanding of their condition, forgetfulness and difficulties administering eyedrops. Whereas simplified treatments, knowledgeable educated patients and good patient-practitioner relationships were enablers to adherence.
    Summary: We identified multiple barriers and enablers affecting glaucoma medication adherence. Four theoretical domains were found to be key in influencing adherence behaviour. These findings can be used to underpin the development of behaviour change interventions that aim to improve medication adherence.

    Abstract Background: Latissimus dorsi tendon transfer (LDTT) remains a surgical option for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. Despite a lack of comparative studies, subscapularis insufficiency has been reported as a contraindication. This study investigated the clinical outcome at a minimum 2-years post-surgery, in patients undergoing LDTT with varied subscapularis integrity.
    Methods: This retrospective study included 48 patients, of which 22 underwent LDTT with an intact subscapularis (age 56.9 years, review time 79.6 months, males 68.2%) and 26 with partial (16 patients) or full-thickness (10 patients) subscapularis tearing (age 57.4 years, review time 73.3 months, males 73.1%) between 2004 and 2018. Pre-operative imaging ascertained subscapularis status. Outcomes included the Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI), Global Rating of Change (GRC) and patient satisfaction.
    Results: No significant group differences were observed in age (p = 0.617) or review time (p = 0.555), nor the UEFI (intact 69.6, not intact 67.0, p = 0.265) or GRC (intact 3.6, not intact 2.9, p = 0.265). High levels of patient satisfaction were observed in both groups for pain relief, improving the ability to undertake daily and recreational activities, and overall satisfaction (intact 95.5-100.0%, not intact 92.3-96.2%).
    Conclusion: LDTT resulted in encouraging clinical scores and high satisfaction levels, irrespective of the degree of untreated, underlying subscapularis integrity.
    Level of evidence: Therapeutic Level III.
