Capability After Total Knee Arthroplasty for Osteoarthritis Is Strongly Associated With Preoperative Symptoms of Depression
CONCLUSION: Preoperative symptoms of depression are strongly associated with reduced capability after TKA and can be screened for using the PHQ-2-a brief tool that can be feasibly incorporated into clinical workflows. User-friendly assessment of depressive symptoms can assist orthopaedic surgeons in identifying and addressing mental health at the outset during the management of knee OA.PMID:38684117 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-01138 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)

Direct Variable Cost Comparison of Endoscopic Versus Open Carpal Tunnel Release: A Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing Analysis
This study used TDABC to compare the facility costs of open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) and endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR).METHODS: We identified 845 consecutive, unilateral carpal tunnel release (516 open, 329 endoscopic) surgeries performed at an orthopaedic specialty hospital between 2015 and 2021. Itemized facility costs were calculated using a TDABC algorithm. Patient demographics, comorbidities, surgical characteristics, and itemized costs were compared between OCTR and ECTR. Multivariate regression was used to determine the independent effect of endoscopic surgery on true facility costs.RESULTS: Total faci...

The Removal of Total Knee Arthroplasty From the Inpatient-Only List has Improved Patient Optimization
CONCLUSION: Outpatient TKA has increased considerably post-IPO removal. As this regulatory change has allowed older patients with increased comorbidities to undergo oTKA, the need for appropriate preoperative optimization has increased. The current data set demonstrates that surgeons have improved preoperative optimization efforts for select modifiable risk factors.PMID:38684134 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-22-01132 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)

Readability of Trauma-related Patient Education Materials From the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and Orthopaedic Trauma Association Websites
In this study, we perform an updated assessment of the readability of AAOS trauma-related educational articles as compared with injury-matched education materials developed by the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA).METHODS: All 46 AAOS trauma-related web-based (https://www.orthoinfo.org/) patient education articles were analyzed for readability. Two independent reviewers used (1) the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) and (2) the Flesch Reading Ease (FRE) algorithms to calculate the readability level. Mean readability scores were compared across body part categories. A one-sample t-test was done to compare mean FKGL with ...
