Fluoroscopy-Assisted Computer Navigation Accurately Determines Cup Position and Leg Length for Anterior Hip Arthroplasty
CONCLUSION: A novel fluoroscopy-assisted computer navigation platform accurately assessed intraoperative cup position and LLD during anterior total hip arthroplasty. Careful attention to fluoroscopic technique, positioning of radiographic landmarks, and knowledge of the limitations of fluoroscopy, including parallax effect, are important concepts that surgeons should incorporate into their decision algorithm.

"Off-Hour" Surgical Start Times Do Not Influence Surgical Precision and Outcomes in Middle-aged Patients and Patients 65 Years and Older With Hip Fractures
CONCLUSION: The time of day patients undergo hip fracture repair does not affect surgical outcomes or hospital quality measures. These results highlight the need for standardized hip protocols and treatment pathways to provide equitable care at all hours of the day.

Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty Is Associated With Higher 30-Day Complication Rates Compared With Total Shoulder Arthroplasty for Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis: A Propensity Score Matched Analysis
CONCLUSION: Compared with TSA, HA appears to be associated with significantly higher rates of 30-day postoperative complications when performed for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx-xx.].PMID:38567998 | DOI:10.3928/01477447-20240325-05 (Source: Orthopedics)

Enhanced Total Hip Arthroplasty Education Using Augmented Reality: A Survey From a Tertiary Center
CONCLUSION: Computer-assisted surgery has demonstrated variable impacts on orthopedic education. After the implementation of AR at an academic teaching center, all trainees reported it improved their intraoperative experience and their understanding of acetabular component placement. Further studies are needed to determine if AR is able to improve a trainee's component placement.

Factors Associated With Episode of Care Adverse Events After Humerus Nonunion Repair
CONCLUSION: Using a large database over a recent 10-year period, we identified demographic and comorbid factors independently associated with episode of care adverse events after humeral nonunion repair. Patients 50 years or older had approximately three times the incidence of complications, readmissions, and reoperations in the first month after humeral nonunion repair compared with patients younger than 50 years. Our findings are relevant for preoperative risk stratification and counseling. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx-xx.].PMID:38568000 | DOI:10.3928/01477447-20240325-03 (Source: Orthopedics)

Psychiatric Diagnosis Does Not Influence Management or Resolution of Confirmed Fracture-Related Infection
CONCLUSION: The presence of a psychiatric diagnosis does not affect clinical outcomes in the patient population with FRI. This is the first study exploring the impact of psychiatric illness on patient outcomes after a confirmed FRI diagnosis.

Clinical Outcome of Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy Versus Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, and Multilevel Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty for Multiple Myeloma
CONCLUSION: This study found that performing kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty in addition to conventional therapy for patients with multiple myeloma resulted in enhanced morbidity and functional outcomes.

Efficacy of Liposomal Bupivacaine in Reducing Opioid Use After Posterior Lumbar Spinal Decompression and Fusion
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that the addition of liposomal bupivacaine to traditional pain management modalities can augment pain management for patients undergoing posterior lumbar surgery, as evidenced by the significant decrease in postoperative morphine milligram equivalents required.
