Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) continues to be a popular target of cost control efforts. In order to provide a unique overview of financial trends facing TJA, we analyzed Medicare databases including 100% of beneficiaries, as well as industry surveys of implant list prices. Although there was a substantial increase in TJA utilization over the period 2000–2011 (+ 26.9%), growth has been stagnant since 2005. New coding schemes have made complicated cases more lucrative for hospitals (+ 2.5% to 6.5% per year), while reimbursements for uncomplicated cases have fallen (− 0.7% to − 0.6%). Physician reimbursements have declined on all case types (− 2.5% to − 2.1% per year), while list prices of orthopedic implants have risen (+ 4.8% to 5.5%). These trends should be kept in mind while contemplating future changes to TJA payment. 相似文献

Excision of symptomatic talocalcaneal coalitions, after failure of an adequate conservative treatment, is a widely accepted surgical treatment when less than 50% of the subtalar joint is involved and in the absence of degenerative changes to the subtalar or surrounding tarsal joints. Favorable results have been reported in 80% to 100% of patients with open resection. The traditional medial incision to the subtalar joint provides excellent exposure of the middle facet but inadequate visualization of the posterior facet. Other common disadvantages of the traditional open technique include (1) risk of incisional neuroma formation, (2) risk of superficial wound infection and delayed wound healing, and (3) prolonged hospitalization for wound management and pain control. Prone ankle/subtalar arthroscopy has been reported to yield excellent results in the treatment of numerous hindfoot pathologies, with the advantage of reducing postoperative pain, hospital stay, infection rates, wound complications, and recovery time. A posterior arthroscopic technique for posterior-facet talocalcaneal coalition excision has been developed in an attempt to reduce the complications of the traditional open resection. Possible disadvantages of the arthroscopic procedure may include (1) longer learning curve, (2) increased surgical time, (3) possible tibial neurovascular bundle damage, and (4) difficulties in using interposition material. 相似文献

Introduction: Foot deformities are frequent complications in Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) patients, often requiring orthopedic surgery. However, there are no prospective, randomized studies on surgical management, and there is variation in the approaches among centers both within and between countries. Methods: In this study we assessed the frequency of foot deformities and surgery among patients recruited into the Inherited Neuropathies Consortium (INC). We also designed a survey addressed to orthopedic surgeons at INC centers to determine whether surgical approaches to orthopedic complications in CMT are variable. Results: Foot deformities were reported in 71% of CMT patients; 30% of the patients had surgery. Survey questions were answered by 16 surgeons working in different specialized centers. Most of the respondents were foot and ankle surgeons. There was marked variation in surgical management. Discussion: Our findings confirm that the approaches to orthopedic management of CMT are varied. We identify areas that require further research. Muscle Nerve 57 : 255–259, 2018 相似文献

Mechanical alignment has been overlooked as an important contributor to knee stability with respect to collateral ligament laxity. The detrimental effects of varus or valgus limb malalignment become more obvious when the restraining force is lost because of ligamentous injury especially on the medial or the lateral/posterolateral side. Even with repair or reconstruction of these injuries, with repetitive load, the ligament will eventually fail to restore its structure and strength, resulting in failure and secondary restraint laxity. We have found that realignment of the limb is the most important factor in restoring a functional limb. After realignment, joint laxity, if persistent, can be addressed successfully with ligamentous reconstruction. Diagnosis and treatment of limb malalignment cannot be ignored in the management of chronic ligamentous instabilities, especially those with prior failed reconstruction. Our approach to these difficult problems and the preferred techniques of osteotomies on both tibial and femoral sides are described. 相似文献

The value of endoscopic surgery as a minimally invasive treatment is well recognized and includes less perioperative pain, less scarring, minimal blood loss, and faster recovery. While open surgery on the Achilles tendon is notorious for wound complications, the tendon is situated in a well-formed tunnel allowing surgical procedures to be performed endoscopically. Various endoscopic techniques have been successfully applied to the treatment of non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy, Haglund's syndrome, Achilles tendon rupture, and equinus contracture. Although the evidence is currently limited, results from authors acquainted with the techniques have been encouraging. Both an understanding of surgical anatomy of the hindfoot and familiarity in soft tissue endoscopy are required to achieve successful outcomes while minimizing complications. 相似文献
