5-Minute Summary: Does Preoperative Suzetrigine Impact ASC Opioid Consumption For Total Joint Arthroplasty?

5-Minute Summary: Radiographic Measurements in Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty: Accuracy of Preoperative Planning

The use of preoperative three-dimensional (3D) planning software has increased when preparing for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Malpositioning of the glenoid baseplate and, subsequently, the glenosphere has been linked to poor patient outcomes and increased rates of revisions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the radiographic measurements, version, inclination, and RSA angle, in preoperative imaging, the preoperative plan, and postoperative imaging.

5-Minute Summary: One Dedicated Operating Room Team Member Improves Total Joint Arthroplasty Efficiency

Variable operating room (OR) staffing reduces efficiency in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Prior studies show consistent OR teams improve efficiency; however, the impact of a single dedicated team member (DTM) in variable staffing settings is unknown and may be more achievable for a given surgeon. This study evaluated the impact of adding a DTM on OR efficiency and cost.

5-Minute Summary: Gender Inequality in Reporting Injuries of U.S.A. Collegiate and Professional Athletes: a Narrative Review

The purpose of this study was to provide a detailed summary of current publicly available primary and secondary literature, databases, and websites reporting sports-related injuries among male and female collegiate and professional athletes in the United States of America (U.S.A.) to determine whether gender disparities exist in injury reporting.

5-Minute Summary: Evaluating the Baseline Risk Factors and Post-operative Outcomes of Patients Internally Referred to a Subspecialist Surgeon for Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Pilot Study

Orthopaedic surgeons who perform primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may often refer more complex patients to specialty-trained arthroplasty surgeons for definitive treatment. While this practice is often appropriate for optimal patient care, these internal referrals may represent a population that is associated with higher baseline risk and worse outcomes. This study aims to identify the risk factors and outcomes associated with primary TKA patients who are referred to subspecialists.
