    Abstract "Acute care physicians are frequently faced with diagnosing and treating orthopedic emergencies with limited resources and without immediate specialist availability. Orthopedic emergencies focuses on the acute management and stabilization of orthopedic injuries with specific recommendations on procedures and the stabilization of fractures and dislocation. The topics are organized anatomically with additional chapters on Procedures, Reduction Techniques, and Immobilization and Splinting. The information needed for a rapid diagnosis is available instantly through the bullet-point-style text, diagrams, images, pearls and pitfalls. There are specific recommendations on which splint to apply and how to position the affected limb, as well as advice on when to arrange follow up with an orthopedist or sports medicine physician. The spiral binding allows the book to lay flat for easy use at the bedside, making Orthopedic Emergencies the ideal companion for all emergency medicine providers including emergency department physicians, sports clinics, family medicine practitioners and mid-level providers"--Provided by publisher

    Abstract Background: Recommendations within clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are heavily influenced by results from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Therefore, it is imperative that all RCT outcomes are reported thoroughly to ensure CPGs are created using accurate information. Here, we evaluate the quality of harms reporting using the CONSORT Extension for Harms in RCTs underpinning recommendations in the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) Management of Hip Fractures in Older Adults CPG.
    Methods: Each RCT cited as evidence for recommendations in the AAOS Management of Hip Fractures in Older Adults CPG was evaluated using the CONSORT Extension for Harms to determine the quality of harms reporting. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, 95 % confidence intervals) were used to summarize adherence to CONSORT Harms items. A linear regression model was used to evaluate the CONSORT Harms influence on the quality of reporting over time.
    Results: Among the 156 RCTs identified, there were a total of 31,848 participants. Most RCTs were conducted at a single center (137; 87.8 %) and in a single-blind manner (130; 83.3 %). Fifty-four (34.6 %) RCTs did not provide funding statements. Trials adequately reported an average of 6.65 out of 18 CONSORT Extension for Harms items (37.0 %). One RCT adequately reported all items, while five reported zero items. Forty-seven RCTs (30.1 %) reported ≥ 50 % of items and 73 (46.8 %) reported ≤ 33.3 % of items. The linear regression model demonstrated no significant increase in mean adherence over time (adjusted R2 = -0.006; p = 0.563).
    Conclusion: Our results highlight inadequate harms reporting among RCTs in the AAOS Management of Hip Fractures in Older Patients CPG. While the CONSORT Harms Extension was intended to enhance reporting, the linear regression model did not demonstrate significant improvements over time.

    Abstract Background: Advancements in arterial stenting technology have challenged prior notions favoring medical management for intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD). Where previous conclusions were drawn from bare metal stent (BMS) technology, recent studies suggest drug-eluting stents (DES) are favorable due to their anti-proliferative effect, which reduces vascular remodeling.
    Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature prior to August 2023 reviewing all reports of ICAD treated with DES. Our target outcomes were incidence of any stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or death within 30 days (postprocedural complications), ischemic stroke in the territory of the qualifying artery beyond 30 days (long-term complications), radiographically detected in-stent restenosis rate (ISR), and symptomatic ISR during follow-up. A subgroup analysis further stratified preprocedural mean stenosis above and below 70% into severe and moderate cohorts, respectively.
    Results: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane and EMBASE query identified 527 candidate articles, from which 14 studies met inclusion criteria for a total of 607 patients and 640 ICAD lesions. Incidence of postprocedural complications was 7.3% (95% CI 3.9-11.7%) with subgroup analysis demonstrating significantly higher incidence in the severely stenotic group [9.0% (95% CI 4.7-14.5%)] than the moderately stenotic group [3.0% (95% CI 0.7-6.8%)]. Long-term complications were 1.2% (95% CI 0.4-2.3%). Radiographic ISR was 3.5% (95% CI 1.4-6.3%) and symptomatic ISR was 0.3% (95% CI 0.0-1.5%).
    Conclusions: Our systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that DES can effectively reduce the risk of ISR and may be a viable treatment modality to reduce long-term complications in refractory ICAD patients.

    Abstract Clinical relevance: Inclusion of personality profile assessment and appropriate psychotherapeutic regimen in glaucoma diagnosis and management protocols could prove useful for enhanced medication adherence in patients living with glaucoma.
    Background: There is poor adherence to medication among patients with glaucoma, especially in people of African ancestry. The present study assessed the influence of personality traits on adherence to glaucoma medication among patients living with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) from an African population.
    Methods: A clinic-based cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with POAG attending a specialist eye-care facility. Adapted and validated questionnaires for personality trait (The Big Five Inventory) and medication adherence (Medication Adherence Report Scale 5) were used.
    Results: Self-reported adherence to glaucoma medication was 60.8%. The personality traits conscientiousness and agreeableness significantly predicted medication adherence but accounted for only 30.3% and 13.3% of the variance, respectively. Non-adherence to glaucoma medication was significantly predicted by the personality profiles neuroticism, extraversion and openness which, respectively, accounted for 61.7%, 20.3% and 13.3% of the variance in the personality trait assessment. Old age and longer use of glaucoma medications were also significantly associated with non-adherence to glaucoma medication.
    Conclusions: Personality trait dimensions were significantly associated with glaucoma medication adherence in this at-risk population.

    Abstract Context: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted clinical research in many medical and surgical fields, resulting in research waste and loss of treatment for patients. Although other areas have been explored, the extent of the pandemic's influence on osteoarthritis (OA) trials is currently unknown.
    Objectives: This study aims to explore the reasons for termination of clinical trials investigating OA during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Methods: We searched ClinicalTrials.gov for OA trials and characterized their reason for discontinuation, noting where trialists directly cited the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for trial discontinuation. We also coded other common reasons for trial discontinuation. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed to determine the difference in enrollment, funding source, trial phase, allocation, and intervention type between the trials terminated early due to pandemic and nonpandemic reasons.
    Results: Out of 135 clinical trials, 119 were included and 27 (22.7 %) of them reported the COVID-19 pandemic as a primary reason for discontinuation, which was the overall most common reason for OA trial discontinuation during the study period. We found statistically significant differences for trials discontinued due to pandemic vs. non-pandemic-related reasons, with trials having sites outside the United States, randomized allocation, and drug or device intervention type being most affected. However, there was no statistically significant difference between groups regarding trial phase, funding source, or enrollment.
    Conclusions: This study highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the clinical trials related to OA. We found that many trials reported discontinuation directly due to the pandemic, which may lead to the loss or delay of novel treatments for OA. To avoid such discontinuation in the future, alternative methods for conducting OA-related clinical trials should be explored and implemented.

    Abstract Background: The most common surgical approaches in hip arthroscopy are interportal and T-capsulotomy. However, these methods may introduce capsular instability. Puncture capsulotomy preserves capsuloligamentous integrity by avoiding iatrogenic transection of the iliofemoral capsular ligament.
    Purpose: To present minimum 2-year functional outcomes for patients who underwent arthroscopic treatment for acetabular labral tears and concomitant femoroacetabular impingement using the puncture capsulotomy technique.
    Study design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
    Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective review of prospectively collected data on patients who underwent arthroscopic acetabular labral tear treatment between December 2013 and May 2019. Included were patients aged ≥18 years who underwent hip arthroscopy by a single surgeon and completed a minimum of 2 years of patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) surveys. Intraoperatively, patients underwent hip arthroscopy via puncture capsulotomy to treat labral tears and any concomitant femoroacetabular impingement. Clinical outcome data consisted of PROMs.
    Results: A total of 163 hips were included; the mean patient follow-up was 30.4 months (range, 24-60 months; 95% CI, 28.5-32.3 months). Patients had a mean age of 37.9 years (range, 36.1-39.6 years), with a mean body mass index of 25.9 (range, 25.2-26.5). There were significant improvements in mean [95% CI] baseline to final follow-up scores for the 33-Item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) (39.6 [36.8-42.4] vs 76.1 [72.7-79.6]), Hip Outcome Score-Activities of Daily Living (70.0 [67.0-73.0] vs 89.3 [87.3-91.3]), modified Harris Hip Score (60.1 [57.9-62.4] vs 84.9 [82.5-87.2]), and Hip Outcome Score-Sports Specific Subscale (41.8 [37.9-45.6] vs 75.7 [71.7-79.7]) (
    Conclusion: Puncture capsulotomy demonstrated significantly improved functional and clinically meaningful outcomes at a minimum 2-year follow-up, along with a minimal complication rate.

    Abstract Injury patterns of the hand and wrist can be complex and challenging for the emergency physician to diagnose and treat. The ability of the hand to perform delicate maneuvers requires a very intricate interplay of bones, ligaments, and tendons. Unfortunately, due to the omnipresence of the hand, the hand and wrist are commonly injured. These injuries can be debilitating if not treated correctly and can be both time-consuming and fraught with medicolegal risk. This article provides the necessary knowledge to diagnose and treat common hand and wrist injuries encountered in the emergency department.
