Antibiotic Stewardship in Orthopaedic Surgery: Principles and Practice
Kirk A. Campbell J Am Acad Orthop Surg. December 2014; 22 (12) Abstract A thorough knowledge of the principles of antibiotic stewardship is a crucial part of high-quality orthopaedic surgical care. These principles include (1) determining appropriate indications for antibiotic administration, (2) choosing the correct antibiotic based on known or expected pathogens, (3) determining the […]
The Role of Cytokines in Posttraumatic Arthritis
Steven A. Olson, J Am Acad Orthop Surg January 2014 vol. 22 no. 1 Abstract The development of arthritis after joint injury is commonly known as posttraumatic arthritis (PTA). The inciting traumatic event may range from cartilage contusion and bone bruise combined with meniscus or ligament tear, to intra-articular fracture. End-stage PTA is often indistinguishable […]
Minor Traumatic Brain Injury: A Primer for the Orthopaedic Surgeon
Richard L. Uhl J Am Acad Orthop Surg October 2013 vol. 21 no. 10 Abstract Minor traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a major public health problem. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control label it a silent epidemic. Subtle signs and symptoms of mTBI, including headache, […]
Cartilage Regeneration
Rocky S. Tuan, PhD, Abstract Cartilage damaged by trauma has a limited capacity to regenerate. Current methods of managing small chondral defects include palliative treatment with arthroscopic débridement and lavage, reparative treatment with marrow-stimulation techniques (eg, microfracture), and restorative treatment, including osteochondral grafting and autologous chondrocyte implantation. Larger defects are managed with osteochondral allograft or […]
MRI Techniques: A Review and Update for the Orthopaedic Surgeon
Katherine G. Hartley J Am Acad Orthop Surg December 2012 ; 20 Abstract MRI plays a critical role in all orthopaedic practices. A basic working knowledge of the most commonly used pulse sequences in musculoskeletal imaging and the appearance of normal tissues on those sequences is critical to confident MRI interpretation. The orthopaedic surgeon should […]
Bone Morphogenetic Protein in Spine Surgery: Current and Future Uses
J Am Acad Orthop Surg. September 2012 ; 20 (9) Jesse Even, MD, Mark Eskander, MD and James Kang, MD Abstract The clinical use of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) in spinal fusion surgery has recently become controversial. After its approval by the US FDA in July 2002, BMP was adopted by many spine surgeons as […]
Implantable Sensor Technology: From Research to Clinical Practice
J Am Acad Orthop Surg June 2012 vol. 20 no. 6 Eric H. Ledet Abstract For decades, implantable sensors have been used in research to provide comprehensive understanding of the biomechanics of the human musculoskeletal system. These complex sensor systems have improved our understanding of the in vivo environment by yielding in vivo measurements of […]
Biomechanical Testing of Fracture Fixation Constructs: Variability, Validity, and Clinical Applicability
Michael J. Gardner J Am Acad Orthop Surg February 2012 ; 20 Abstract Biomechanical testing of fracture fixation implants is crucial in preclinical evaluation and in comparing new devices with standard devices. Many variables must be considered when planning and implementing a biomechanical in vitro experiment. The type of test selected (eg, load-to-failure, stiffness, cyclic […]
