IntroductionAlthough matching lumbar lordosis (LL) with pelvic incidence (PI) is an important surgical goal for adult spinal deformity (ASD), there is concern that overcorrection may lead to proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK). We introduce the upper instrumented vertebra-femoral angle (UIVFA) as a measure of appropriate postoperative position in th...

PurposeFunctional dependency is a known determinant of surgical risk. To enhance our understanding of the relationship between dependency and adverse surgical outcomes, we studied how postoperative mortality following a surgical complication was impacted by preoperative functional dependency.MethodsWe explored a historical cohort of 6,483,387 surgi...

Arthroplasty Today
Adverse local tissue reactions secondary to mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC) at the trunnion is a complication of total hip arthroplasty known to cause local soft-tissue damage. However, what is not as well appreciated is that MACC in metal-on-polyethylene (MOP) articulations can lead to cobalt ion serum elevations with associated neu...

Recognized late complications of tympanostomy tube placement include persistent tympanic perforation, tympanosclerosis, and focal atrophy. Based on clinical experience, we suspected that atrophy at healed tympanostomy tube sites might predispose to re-perforation following trauma. Computerized record review of children seen in an academic pediatric...
