    Abstract Background: Studies in adult chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) showed poor correlation between patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and objective findings. Our goal is to study the correlation between the sinus and nasal quality of life (SN-5) and the 22-items sinonasal outcome test (SNOT-22) surveys with endoscopy findings in children with chronic adenoiditis (CA) and CRS.
    Methods: Cross-sectional study of all pediatric patients (age 2-18) presenting for CA or CRS was performed. Patients and caregivers were asked to fill the SN-5 and SNOT-22 questionnaires at initial and follow up visits. Demographics and comorbidities were collected. Objective findings included endoscopy Modified Lund-Kennedy (MLK) scores and adenoid tissue size.
    Results: 124 children were included, with mean age of 9.9 years (SD = 4.8) and 46.8% female. 36.3% had allergic rhinitis, 23.4% had asthma, and 4% had obstructive sleep apnea. Moderate correlation was found between the rhinologic domain of SNOT-22 and MLK scores (r = 0.36, p = 0.001) and between SN5 scores and adenoid size in all patients (r = 0.39, p < 0.001). SNOT-22 scores showed moderate correlation with adenoid size (r = 0.42, p < 0.001) more specifically in CA patients (r = 0.54, p < 0.001). The correlation of SN5 and MLK scores were higher in children with allergic rhinitis or asthma. The correlation between SN5 and adenoid size was lower in children with allergic rhinitis or asthma.
    Conclusion: There is discrepancy between the subjective measures and the objective findings in children with CA or CRS. The physical exam findings may not reflect the effect of CRS on the quality of life of children.

    Abstract Background: Diversity in leadership drives innovation. However, underrepresented minorities may face barriers. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of gender and race on the experience of leaders in hand surgery.
    Methods: An anonymous survey was sent to leaders in hand surgery who attained the position of national society president, head of a division/department, or hand fellowship director. The survey assessed demographic information, grit, mentorship, and bias.
    Results: One hundred twenty-one leaders responded for a response rate of 60.5%. Men represented 81.0% and women 19.0%. Most respondents were white (87.6%) with 7% Asian and 6% any other race. Ninety-one percent of female respondents lived in a dual career household, compared with 53.7% of male respondents (odds ratio [OR] 0.15,
    Conclusions: Women and racial minorities face bias and barriers to leadership within hand surgery.

    Abstract Purpose: The goal of this study was to test the pullout strength of intramedullary (IM) screws from within the humerus to establish their ability to seat an uncemented elbow arthroplasty.
    Methods: Six humerus and 6 ulna Sawbones specimens were drilled with a drill bit diameter of 5/16 inches, and the inner cortex was hand tapped for a ⅜-16 thread. A ⅜-16 custom-made titanium screw with an outer bolt diameter of 3/8 inches and 16 threads per inch was inserted by hand into the tapped holes. The specimens were then axially tensile loaded at a rate of 5 mm per minute until either the screw began to pull out from the bone or a fracture was noted.
    Results: Intramedullary screw fixation in the humerus achieved an average pullout strength of 1,439 pound-force (6,401 N), and IM screw fixation in the ulna achieved an average pullout strength of 882 pound-force (3,923 N). A fracture was noted in 3 humeral specimens, with 3 screws pulling out. In the ulna, the IM axial load caused a fracture in 5 specimens, and in 1 specimen, the screw pulled out.
    Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that IM screw fixation can create a tensile force within the screw that is greater than that required to generate the calculated level of compression between the implant and bone.
    Clinical relevance: This may be beneficial in ensuring fixation between arthroplasty components and bone.
