    Abstract Volar distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocations are uncommon wrist injuries. Failed diagnosis or treatment can result in irreversible damage to the articulating surfaces and ultimately lead to chronic degenerative arthritis. When the DRUJ is reducible, and the cartilage is preserved, ligament reconstruction and ulnar osteotomy are surgical options for residual wrist instability or pain. When destruction of the native DRUJ has already occurred, surgical treatment options are salvage procedures. Here we present treatment for a chronic volarly dislocated DRUJ with open reduction and internal fixation using an alternative joint-preserving surgical technique with tendon allograft interposition arthroplasty.

    Abstract Background: Previous case studies have reported reversal of acute renal failure after pericardiocentesis in pericardial effusion. This study examines the effects of pericardiocentesis on preprocedural low cardiac output and acute renal dysfunction in patients with pericardial effusion.
    Methods: This is a retrospective study of 95 patients undergoing pericardiocentesis between 2015 and 2020. Pre- and post-procedure transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) were reviewed for evidence of cardiac tamponade, resolution of pericardial effusion, and for estimation of right atrial (RA) pressure and cardiac output. Laboratory values were compared at presentation and post-procedure. Patients on active renal replacement therapy were excluded.
    Results: Ninety-five patients were included for analysis (mean age 62.2 ± 17.8 years, 58% male). There was a significant increase in glomerular filtration rate pre- and post-procedure. Fifty-six patients (58.9%) had an improvement in glomerular filtration rate after pericardiocentesis (termed "responders"), and these patients had a lower pre-procedure glomerular filtration rate than "non-responders." There was a significant improvement in estimated cardiac output and right atrial pressure for patients in both groups. Patients who had an improvement in renal function had significantly lower pre-procedural diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure.
    Conclusions: Pericardial drainage may improve effusion-mediated acute renal dysfunction by reducing right atrial pressure and thus systemic venous congestion, and by increasing forward stroke volume and perfusion pressure.

    Abstract Objective: We sought to characterize the performance of inpatient and outpatient computerized clinical decision support (CDS) alerts aimed at reducing inappropriate benzodiazepine and nonbenzodiazepine sedative medication prescribing in older adults 18 months after implementation.
    Methods: We reviewed the performance of two CDS alerts in the outpatient and inpatient settings in 2019. To examine the alerts' effectiveness, we analyzed metrics including overall alert adherence, provider-level adherence, and reasons for alert trigger and override.
    Results: In 2019, we identified a total of 14,534 and 4,834 alerts triggered in the outpatient and inpatient settings, respectively. Providers followed only 1% of outpatient and 3% of inpatient alerts. Most alerts were ignored (68% outpatient and 60% inpatient), while providers selected to override the remaining alerts. In each setting, the top 2% of clinicians were responsible for approximately 25% of all ignored or overridden alerts. However, a small proportion of clinicians (2% outpatient and 4% inpatient) followed the alert at least half of the time and accounted for a disproportionally large fraction of the total followed alerts. Our analysis of the free-text comments revealed that many alerts were to continue outpatient prescriptions or for situational anxiety.
    Conclusion: Our findings highlight the importance of evaluation of CDS performance after implementation. We found large variation in response to the inpatient and outpatient alerts, both with respect to follow and ignore rates. Reevaluating the alert design by providing decision support by indication may be more helpful and may reduce alert fatigue.

    Abstract Study design: This is a prospective cohort pilot study.
    Background: Degenerative wrist arthritis leads to pain, loss of strength, mobility, function, and impairments in psychological well-being. Accurate assessment of functional limitations that are unique to the individual is essential for successful treatment that best meets those specific needs.
    Purpose of the study: To identify and determine if self-identified functional limitations improve in patients who underwent surgery for degenerative wrist arthritis.
    Methods: Patients with degenerative wrist arthritis who were scheduled for surgery were prospectively recruited (n = 14, mean age + SD = 42 + 16, 10 males, 4 females) into a pilot study that measured self-identified functional limitations and outcomes. Inclusion criteria included a diagnosis of scapholunate advanced collapse, scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse, scapholunate interosseous ligament tear, or Kienböck disease. Exclusion criteria included a history of neuromuscular disease or concomitant ipsilateral musculoskeletal injury. Data were collected during two 20-minute sessions, preoperatively and one year postoperatively, utilizing the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure.
    Results: All patients reported significant decreases (P < .001) in total pain (mean change = 17.6, SD = 8.5) and total disability (mean = 17.8, SD = 9.1) on the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation from presurgery to postsurgery, with a large effect size of d > 0.8. Patients also reported significant improvements (P < .001) in mean performance (mean = 3.5, SD = 1.5) and mean satisfaction (mean = 4.0, SD = 2.1) with self-identified activities on the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, with an effect size of d > 0.8.
    Conclusion: Patients with degenerative wrist arthritis reported significant postoperative improvement in both performance and satisfaction in self-identified activities. Consideration of patient-specified goals can inform both patients and clinicians during the surgical decision-making process and allow for more individualized care.

    Abstract Introduction: The current value-driven healthcare system encourages physicians to continuously optimize the value of the services they provide. Relative value units (RVUs) serve as the basis of a reimbursement model linking the concept that as the effort and value of services provided to patient's increases, physician reimbursement should increase proportionately. Spine surgery is particularly affected by these factors as there are multiple ways to achieve similar outcomes, some of which require more time, effort, and risk. Specifically, as the trend of spinal interbody fusion has increased over the past decade, the optimal approach to use-posterior versus anterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF vs. ALIF)-has been a source of controversy. Due to potential discrepancies in effort, one factor to consider is the correlation between RVUs and the time needed to perform a procedure. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare: 1) mean RVUs; 2) mean operative time; and 3) mean RVUs per unit of time between PLIF and ALIF with the utilization of a national surgical database. We also performed an individual surgeon cost benefit analysis for performing PLIF versus ALIF.
    Materials and methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) database was utilized to identify 6,834 patients who underwent PLIF (CPT code: 22630) and 6,985 patients who underwent ALIF (CPT code: 22558) between 2008 and 2015. The mean operative times (in minutes), mean RVUs, and RVUs per minute were calculated and compared using the Student's t-tests. In addition, the reimbursement amount (in dollars) per minute, case, day, and year for an individual surgeon performing PLIF versus ALIF were also calculated and compared. A p-value of less than 0.05 was used as the threshold for statistical significance.
    Results: Compared to ALIF cases, PLIF cases had longer mean operative times (203 vs. 212 minutes, p<0.001). However, PLIF cases were assigned lower mean RVUs than ALIF cases (22.08 vs. 23.52, p<0.001). Furthermore, PLIF had a lower mean RVU/minutes than ALIF cases (0.126 vs. 0.154, p<0.001). The reimbursement amounts calculated for PLIF versus ALIF were: $4.52 versus $5.53 per minute, $958.66 versus $1,121.95 per case, and $2,875.98 versus $3,365.86 per day. The annual cost difference was $78,380.92.
    Conclusion: The data from this study indicates a potentially greater annual compensation of nearly $80,000 for performing ALIF as opposed to PLIF due to a higher "hourly rate" for ALIF as is noted by the significantly greater RVU per minute (0.154 vs. 0.126 RVU/minutes). These results can be used by spine surgeons to design more appropriate compensation effective practices while still providing quality care.

    Abstract Despite the wide utilization of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), it can be technically challenging to perform in patients who have concomitant bone loss, ligamentous laxity, or high-grade deformity, whether in a revision situation or due to a primary pathology. Therefore, hinged knee prostheses have been developed to provide more stable fixation in these situations. The purpose of this study was to compare the short-term peri- and postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing primary TKA with and without hinged prosthesis. Specifically, we compared (1) mean operative times, (2) lengths of stay (LOS), (3) 30-day readmissions, and (4) complications. The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried to identify hinged TKAs and 99 procedures were included. They were matched in a 1:3 ratio to primary TKAs without a hinged prosthesis using propensity score matching. Operative time, LOS, discharge disposition, 30-day readmissions, and complications were compared. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) were also calculated. The operative time was significantly higher in hinged cohort compared with the nonhinged cohort (mean difference [MD] = 22 minutes; range, 10-34 minutes,

    Abstract Background: Despite the demonstrated success of multiple anticoagulation therapies for post-operative prophylaxis of thromboembolic disease in lower extremity arthroplasties, each modality comes with a unique set of limitations. Thus, the ideal anticoagulation medication which provides adequate therapy with minimal cost, complications, or added patient work is yet to be defined. One promising novel thrombophylactic supplement is fish oil, as many preliminary clinical trials have demonstrated a protective effect of fish oil against thrombosis in multiple clinical settings. In addition, others have demonstrated synergistic effect when combined with aspirin. However, there are paucity of studies that compared combined aspirin and fish oil therapy for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis with other pharmacological agents, especially in the field of orthopaedics. Therefore, this study evaluated: (I) risk of post-operative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and (II) bleeding complications; among patients who had primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and received one of the following regimens: (i) 325 mg aspirin and mechanical pulsatile stocking; (ii) rivaroxaban; or (iii) 325 mg aspirin and 1,000 mg fish oil.
    Methods: This was a 6-year prospective study analyzing the postoperative thromboembolic prophylaxis received by patients who underwent primary TKA. Patients who had a previous history of thromboembolic disease were excluded from the study due to an increased risk of recurrent clot formation. A total of 850 patients were enrolled. A total of 300 patients enrolled between October 2011 and June 2013 received 325 mg aspirin and mechanical pulsatile stocking, while 250 patients enrolled between June 2013 and December 2014 received rivaroxaban. A total of 300 patients enrolled between January 2015 and July 2017 received 325 mg aspirin and 1,000 mg fish oil. Major venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) and bleeding complications within the first 90 days post-operatively were recorded in each cohort. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), for thromboembolic and bleeding events were calculated and compared between the aspirin and fish oil cohort vs. aspirin and pulsatile stocking cohort, and aspirin and fish oil cohort
    Results: A total of 25 DVT events were recorded including 1 of 300 (0.33%) in the aspirin and fish oil cohort, 22 of 300 (7.33%) in the aspirin and pulsatile stocking cohort and 2 of 250 (0.8%) in the rivaroxaban cohort. When comparing ORs, patients who received aspirin and fish oil demonstrated significantly lower risk for thromboembolic events when compared to the aspirin and pulsatile stocking group (OR: 0.045; 95% CI: 0.0061-0.3394; P<0.05). When compared to the rivaroxaban cohort the ORs did not differ significantly (OR: 0.416; 95% CI: 0.0376-4.6223; P>0.05). In addition, no PE events were recorded in any of the cohorts. When compared to rivaroxaban, the fish oil and aspirin cohort demonstrated significantly lower incidence of bleeding episodes (1 of 300, 0.33%
    Conclusions: This study demonstrated the potentially synergistic anti-thromboembolic effect of aspirin and fish oil in the prevention of post-operative venous thromboembolism in primary TKA patients. Based on the results from this study, the authors conclude that the combination of aspirin and fish oil maybe an excellent thromboprophylactic modality for patients to use after TKA. These results warrant further, larger prospective studies analyzing the use of fish oil supplements in VTE prophylaxis.

    Abstract Objective: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an established tool in the management of gastrointestinal diseases. The majority of EUS procedures are performed in tertiary care hospitals but the technology has also disseminated to community hospitals. The data from community hospitals are limited and there are no published studies comparing EUS-fine needle aspiration (FNA) outcomes in community versus tertiary settings. Our objective is to compare EUS procedures performed in these two separate settings.
    Methods: EUS procedures performed for pancreatobiliary indications in an academic tertiary care hospital and a community hospital were retrospectively reviewed and compared. The patient demographics, procedure time, procedure indications, FNA performed, pass counts, needle size, rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) and final cytological diagnosis were compared between the two centers. Cytological diagnosis was categorized as satisfactory and unsatisfactory samples.
    Results: There was no significant difference in patient age, gender, indications, procedure time, FNA performed, needle size, or pass counts between the tertiary hospital (n = 361) and community hospital (n = 119). ROSE was a significant determinant factor for adequacy of sample. There was a positive linear relationship between adequacy of the sample and number of pass counts. After performing a logistic regression and adjusting for target site, the overall odds of having an unsatisfactory specimen were not significantly different at the two centers (OR 0.51, CI 0.23-1.17, p = 0.11). Percentages of unsatisfactory samples were not significantly different at the two centers for solid lesions (7.4 vs. 3.1%, p = 0.33), cysts (33.3 vs. 23.8%, p = 0.31,) or lymph nodes (25.0 vs. 0%, p = 0.063).
    Conclusion: Cytological yield of EUS-FNA in a community hospital is similar to that of a tertiary hospital. Community hospitals can provide EUS services with reasonable success.

    Abstract Despite the wide utilization of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), it can be technically challenging to perform in patients who have concomitant bone loss, ligamentous laxity, or high-grade deformity, whether in a revision situation or due to a primary pathology. Therefore, hinged knee prostheses have been developed to provide more stable fixation in these situations. The purpose of this study was to compare the short-term peri- and postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing primary TKA with and without hinged prosthesis. Specifically, we compared (1) mean operative times, (2) lengths of stay (LOS), (3) 30-day readmissions, and (4) complications. The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried to identify hinged TKAs and 99 procedures were included. They were matched in a 1:3 ratio to primary TKAs without a hinged prosthesis using propensity score matching. Operative time, LOS, discharge disposition, 30-day readmissions, and complications were compared. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) were also calculated. The operative time was significantly higher in hinged cohort compared with the nonhinged cohort (mean difference [MD] = 22 minutes; range, 10–34 minutes, p  < 0.001). There were no significant differences between hinged and nonhinged TKAs with respect to LOS (MD= 0.61 days, range, –0.07–1.30 days, p  = 0.080), discharge disposition (OR = 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.66–1.84), readmissions (OR = 2.67, 95% CI, 0.84–8.24), and any complications (OR = 1.13, 95% CI, 0.55–2.19). Not surprisingly, primary TKAs with hinged prostheses had increased operative times, but had similar LOS, discharge dispositions, and 30-day rates of readmission and complications when compared with TKAs without a hinged prosthesis. One potential contributing factor to the increased operating time is that patients who receive a hinged implant tend to present with more severe deformities. It is reassuring to know that early outcomes were similar between both cohorts (although we await longer follow-up studies), and that hinged implants can be considered in these difficult to treat patients.
