    Abstract Lag screw positioning can be difficult to discern intraoperatively on lateral fluoroscopic imaging during intramedullary fixation of proximal femur fractures in some nailing systems due to the drill guide handle obstructing the view. We have described a method of obtaining non-obstructed lateral-oblique "peek" views that reliably assist in obtaining adequate tip-apex distance (TAD) measurements when using intramedullary fixation for these fractures. The purpose of this study was (1) to describe an intraoperative radiographic technique to obtain non-obscured views for appropriate center-center placement of the lag screw(s) within the femoral head during jig-aided cephalomedullary nailing of peritrochanteric hip fractures and (2) to present a case series detailing the radiographic results using this technique. This clinical series of sixty-five patients with intertrochanteric or subtrochanteric proximal femur fractures stabilized with a cephalomedullary nail had an average TAD of 15.1 ± 3.3mm (range: 9.4mm-26.2mm). This suggests that our technical trick of obtaining "peek" radiographs intraoperatively may aid in a precise lag-screw placement.

    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.

    Abstract Background: The Technical Performance Score (TPS) can predict outcomes after congenital cardiac surgery. We sought to validate TPS as a predictor of both short- and long-term outcomes of the Norwood procedure.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent the Norwood procedure from 1997 to 2017. We assigned TPS (class 1, no residua; class 2, minor residua; class 3, major residua or reintervention for major residua before discharge) based on subcomponent scores from discharge echocardiograms or unplanned reinterventions, or both. Multivariable Cox or competing risk analysis, adjusted for preoperative patient- and procedure-related covariates, examined the association of TPS with postoperative hospital length of stay, transplant-free survival, and postdischarge reinterventions.
    Results: Among 500 patients, 319 (64%) were male, 54 (11%) were premature, 56 (11%) had noncardiac anomalies/syndromes, 146 (29%) had preoperative risk factors, and 480 (96%) were assigned TPS. On multivariable analysis, class 3 had greater hazard for reinterventions in transplant-free survivors (class 3: subdistribution hazard ratio [HR], 2.06; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.34-3.16; P = .001) and was associated with increased hospital length of stay vs class 1 (HR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.18-0.34; P < .001). Transplant-free survival after Norwood surgery was shorter for both class 2 (HR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.68-3.66; P < .001) and class 3 (HR, 3.29; 95% CI, 2.18-4.95; P < .001).
    Conclusions: TPS predicts early and late outcomes after Norwood. Absence of residual lesions results in improved long-term prognosis for single-ventricle patients. TPS may improve outcomes after Norwood by identifying patients warranting closer follow-up and potentially earlier reintervention.
