Letter from the Editor-in-Chief

S. Terry Canale, MD

Department Chair, Emeritus UT-Campbell Clinic Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering University of Tennessee Health Science Center As many of the obstacles from the last year remain, I hope this letter finds you healthy and safe, and beginning to return to the activities you love.

Even with all the demands of the pandemic, we remain focused on research; after all, it is the foundation of knowledge. Therefore, I share with you this seventh volume of the Campbell Orthopaedic Journal, highlighting some of our original orthopaedic research. It has been sent to the more than 600 distinguished alumni of our educational programs, every orthopaedic chair and program director in the country, medical schools nationwide, and donors and friends of the Campbell Foundation.

Highlighted in this edition are eight articles resulting from the senior projects of our 2021 Graduating Resident Class, exceptional surgeons who will continue their training in a fellowship program in their chosen orthopaedic subspecialty. In addition, we’ve included a sample of the publications and presentations made by our staff, residents and fellows nationally and internationally, supplied in seven original and review articles.

Residency Program Director Derek Kelly, MD, Pediatric Orthopaedic Specialist, and Assistant Director Clayton Bettin, MD, offer a closer look at the many ways our Residency has adapted and thrived through the last year and sustains excellence.

The year 2021 marks the 75th anniversary of the Campbell Foundation.

We look forward to honoring Dr. Campbell’s legacy and celebrating our shared history later this year.

Please enjoy this edition of the Journal. We invite you to keep us informed of your work, accomplishments and opportunities to work together, and together, continue to advance orthopaedic medicine.

TRIBUTES

S. TERRY CANALE, MD It is with humble appreciation and admiration that we dedicate the seventh edition of Campbell’s Orthopaedic Journal to Editor-in-Chief, Dr. S. Terry Canale. Dr. Canale takes great pride in this position and works tirelessly to continue to improve “the COJ.” Dr. Canale is also the former Editor of Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics and deeply committed to orthopaedic research and education.

He has played a vital role in Campbell’s long-standing commitment to world-wide orthopaedic education and made it a priority to ensure that each publication provides valuable and up-to-date information. His enthusiasm for this work will continue to influence and inspire every publication and paper which bear his name.

KAY C. DAUGHERTY It is with equal appreciation and regard that we dedicate this edition to Kay C. Daugherty, who has played a pivotal role in seven editions of Campbell’s Orthopaedic Journal and has served as the managing editor of the last nine editions of Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics. Over the last 42 years, she has faithfully and tirelessly edited, reshaped, and overseen all aspects of publications from manuscript preparation to proofing. She has a profound talent to put ideas and disjointed words into comprehensible text, ensuring that each revision maintains the gold standard in readability. Each publication is a testament to her dedication to excellence in writing and education. A favorite quote of Mrs. Daugherty to one of our late authors was, “I’ll make a deal. I won’t operate if you won’t punctuate.” We are grateful for her many years of continual service to the Campbell Foundation and for the publications yet to come.

TRIBUTES

GEORGE HERNANDEZ We are deeply grateful to George Hernandez who served as CEO of the Campbell Clinic and Executive Director of the Campbell Foundation from 2010-2020. When George began his career as CFO at the Campbell Clinic in 1995, revenues were $30 million and by 2019 they exceeded $300 million. During his time as CEO, he guided the Clinic through the enormous task of building a state-of-the-art center in Germantown that opened in 2019, enhancing patient care and access with an ambulatory surgery center, expanded physical therapy, and the ACCEL Performance and Wellness Center.

Under George’s leadership, the Campbell Foundation also experienced tremendous growth. Research activity increased tenfold, with more than 150 active studies in the last year alone. An explosion of publications included the introduction of the Campbell Orthopaedic Journal and Current Orthopaedic Practice. Resident training was enriched by the Molly Shumate Scholarship, which was introduced in 2012 to provide residents valuable training through international medical trips. In 2018 the Center for Excellence for Cerebral Palsy Care and Research at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital opened, servicing families throughout the Mid-South area. Thanks to George’s dedication and vision, the Foundation’s work continues to reach around the globe.

During the unprecedented 2020 year, George’s steady hand led the way through the Covid crisis, with both the Clinic and the Foundation emerging stronger than ever. For this and his other accomplishments, we are indebted.

THE CAMPBELL WAY

Resident Training Today and Tomorrow For nearly 100 years, the Campbell Clinic has trained orthopaedic surgeons who practice throughout the United States and around the world. The University of Tennessee–Campbell Clinic Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering residency works with the Campbell Foundation to run this top-tier accredited fiveyear program for 40 residents. This program sets residents up for success as surgeons, researchers, educators and leaders.

Derek M. Kelly, MD

Clayton C. Bettin, MD

Alumni include presidents of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), directors of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS), presidents of the American Orthopaedic Association (AOA), and numerous presidents of subspecialty societies, making Campbell one of the best represented private practices in the country.

We reached out to Derek M. Kelly, MD, Pediatric Orthopaedics Specialist and Residency Program Director, and Clayton C. Bettin, MD, FAAOS and Assistant Program Director, to discuss the state of the residency. With support from Renee Poe, MS, Program Coordinator, this powerhouse team led the program through COVID-19 and upholds the gold standard first set by Dr. Campbell.

How has the COVID-19 pandemic challenged the residency program?

Dr. Kelly: Like so many other industries, we had to move much of our formal teaching and research online. We facilitated an entirely virtual resident recruitment and selection process, going from 800 applicants to 90 interviews to 8 future orthopaedic surgeons and giving applicants a virtual experience with our program and community. We launched CampbellResidency.org. Thanks to Zoom and Microsoft Teams (and great staff ), we’ve sustained teaching and research schedules.

Renee Poe, MS

Dr. Bettin: COVID has presented unique challenges, but it has made us an even stronger organization. We have developed hybrid online learning environments for our resident educational sessions, as well as for all of our subspecialty meetings. Our residents have been exposed to telemedicine and have learned valuable lessons in how to apply this to their own practices in the future.

CAMPBELL ORTHOPAEDIC JOURNAL • VOLUME 7, 2021

What makes the Campbell Residency so special?

Dr. Bettin: This residency is the most well-rounded educational training program in the country.

We offer learning opportunities in all subspecialties of orthopaedics in a variety of settings, ranging from Level 1 trauma centers to private practice surgery centers. We cover hospitals in all of the major health systems in Memphis and our own state-of-the-art facilities. We attract doctors seeking hands-on experience and a terrific research infrastructure. In addition, our residents are some of the few in the country who receive training in the business of orthopaedics, making them better prepared to enter the workforce.

How do the orthopaedic residents serve the community and patients while completing their training?

Dr. Kelly: Our residents engage with the community through our treatment of all orthopaedic patients at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, Baptist Children’s Hospital, Regional One Health, and Methodist University Hospital, regardless of a patient's ability to pay for care. Residents are also engaged in projects such as Soles4Souls, international mission work to underserved countries and serving local athletes through school partnerships and outreach.

How does the Campbell Orthopaedic Surgery Residency program make Campbell Clinic stronger?

all the teaching faculty on our toes! We must constantly strive for excellence to match their energy and enthusiasm. We also remain at the forefront of medical knowledge to ensure they receive the most current information and learn the newest techniques. The residents also extend our reach and care to more patients, particularly those who are uninsured and under-insured seen at our partner hospitals.

To you, what is most exciting/promising about medical education in, say, 2–4 years?

Dr. Bettin: I am excited for the continued integration of online learning and communication to our practice. We have an ability to engage with residency alumni across the country through online platforms during our specialty conferences and connect with colleagues and alumni in new ways.

Dr. Kelly: I am most excited about the changing demographics of the orthopaedic surgery resident. Now in the U.S., medical school classes are over 50% women. Orthopaedic surgery has traditionally been a white male-dominated specialty.

As our field gains more diverse professionals and perspectives, our specialty will advance in many ways. Our challenge at Campbell Clinic will be to attract and recruit diverse resident applicants at a rate equal to or greater than the rest of the nation. As access to education and advancement expands, the orthopaedic world will enjoy even more diversity of thought and leadership. This is exciting and promising.

Dr. Bettin: The creativity and inquisitive nature of these conscientious, intelligent residents keeps

Every day, patients in need of care and compassion see Campbell-trained physicians. Whether suffering debilitating pain or struggling to walk, patients’ needs are met and well-being restored. Your investment is important to serving patients worldwide and training generations of physicians in “the Campbell way.”

Campbell Foundation:

Celebrating 75 Years Orthopaedic excellence takes many forms. As the Campbell Foundation has grown and evolved, so has our ability to produce superior research, educate future surgeons and ensure excellent patient care.

This charitable powerhouse focuses on:

Education Education and training are at the heart of the Campbell Foundation mission. The Foundation sustains one of the most sought-after residency programs in the United States, educating forty surgeons in a five-year residency and training them in “the Campbell way.” Each year, six sub-specialty Fellows actively engage in patient care, research and outreach.

Perhaps best known for producing Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics, the “bible” of orthopaedic medicine since 1939, the Foundation supports a robust publication program, with more than 150 publications, presentations and posters produced and distributed to practitioners worldwide in the last year alone.

22

CAMPBELL ORTHOPAEDIC JOURNAL • VOLUME 7, 2021

In addition, training events, including the Alvin J. Ingram Memorial Virtual Lecture and James Beaty Visiting Professorship, offer indepth continuing medical education experiences for residents, staff and partners across the globe.

Research Campbell Foundation staff administer and facilitate more than 140 clinical studies each year, demonstrating Campbell’s unwavering commitment to innovation and patient well-being. Each subspecialty has teams that engage in multi-center clinical studies, sponsored clinical research and physician-initiated studies to examine everything from treatments to pain management systems.

Research activities also engage Campbell residents and fellows, medical students and industry and academic partners, further fostering collaboration and driving future innovation.

Results are shared with the world through presentations and posters at academic conferences, publications and industry outreach.

Community Impact The Campbell Foundation ensures orthopaedic care is available to everyone. Partnerships with healthcare partners, including Regional One Medical Center and Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, ensures children, veterans and the underserved can access excellent orthopaedic care. Each year, community clinics support uninsured and under-insured individuals who depend on charitable clinics for care.

The desire to serve extends to annual medical mission trips, where Campbell surgeons and residents provide care and training to high need communities in developing countries.

Compassion drove the creation of the Center of Excellence for Cerebral Palsy Care & Research at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in 2018, where hundreds of CP patients now have a “one-stop shop” for multidisciplinary, comprehensive care and treatment.

The year 2021 marks the 75th Anniversary of the Campbell Foundation. Thanks to countless partners and friends, the excellence, innovation and education defining our last 75 years will set the course for the next 75. This year, we celebrate you, our partners and investors, and all things Campbell.

Office-Based Percutaneous Fasciotomy for Dupuytren Contracture Dupuytren disease is a chronic progressive disorder that affects connective tissue in various areas and can cause functional issues when significant contractures develop in the palmar and digital fascia. The disease has an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with variable penetrance, with family history cited as a strong predictor of the disease.

The disease is most commonly diagnosed in Caucasian men, with increasing prevalence in men older than 65. Dupuytren disease often is tolerated for many years before the patient presents for evaluation when skin tightness and contour changes progress to form nodules, typically on the palmar aspect of the hand. These nodules produce tension in pretendinous and other cords of the palm and fingers resulting in joint flexion contractures. The contractures occur most often on the ring and small fingers with the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints most commonly affected.

Treatment usually is begun for patients when the contractures are significant enough to interfere with daily activities.

Primary treatment goals are to completely straighten the affected ray(s) while reducing the risk of recurrence and avoiding complications. Treatments options are of 2 general types: minimally invasive and open surgical procedures. Minimally invasive procedures include percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF), cordotomy, and enzymatic fasciotomy.

These options typically are more cost-effective, but have higher rates of recurrence compared with open procedures. Open surgical procedures have higher complication rates but lower rates of recurrence and often are preferred as a second line of treatment.

Although fasciotomy was described more than 200 years ago, it was seldom used until French rheumatologists described fasciotomy with a percutaneous needle technique (PNF). The technique gained more widespread acceptance after the report by Foucher and colleagues. In 2003, a series of 100 patients treated with PNF resulted in few complications, reoperation rate of 24%, and recurrence at 3-year follow-up of 58%. More recent studies have shown that 79% of patients retain a straight joint after 2 years, but recurrence of the contracture(s) remains frequent, regardless of treatment method. Pess and colleagues reported a recurrence rate of 48% in 1,013 fingers followed for a median of 3 years. In their randomized controlled trial, van Rijssen and colleagues found a recurrence rate of 22% with PNF compared with 5% with limited fasciectomy. Because it is a simple procedure with few complications, PNF can be done repeatedly if necessary.

The effectiveness of treatment of Dupuytren contractures can be subjectively assessed using patient-reported outcome measures (PROM). Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) is a commonly used PROM in upper extremity research including Dupuytren disease. It consists of 11 questions that focus on severity of symptoms and This article reproduced with permission from Orthopedic Clinics of North America. Chambers JS, Pate T, Calandruccio JH.

Fig. 1: (A) A #15 scalpel blade is placed between the skin, parallel to the underlying cord. (B) The finger is extended to deliver the taut cord to the blade, which is then directed perpendicular to the cord.

difficulty in completing specific tasks. The QuickDASH score has 2 additional modules, work and sports/art, which focus on the patient’s disability while playing a sport/musical instrument or at work. There is limited evaluation of these additional modules in patients with Dupuytren disease.

Percutaneous office-based cordotomy is an effective treatment for Dupuytren contracture; however, given that the cords are divided rather than excised, recurrence is frequent. There have been many different definitions of recurrence causing inconsistencies among studies and data, with rates ranging from 2% to 86%. In 2017, Kan and colleagues as part of the Dupuytren’s Delphi group, addressed this problem with an expert consensus of recurrence as “an increase in extension deficit of 20 at 1 year compared to at 6 weeks post-procedure.”

Identifying risk factors associated with recurrence of contracture is important because this information may change treatment plans. Degreef and De Smet, in a study of more than 300 patients, showed that rates of recurrence are high for patients younger than 50 years and those with Ledderhose disease, family history, and male sex. The variable penetrance of the disease plays a confounding role in identifying specific risk factors.

Effectiveness of treatment also can be assessed from a patient’s perspective using PROM. Budd and colleagues showed an improvement in QuickDASH Score from 15.1 before procedure to 8.0 afterward at a mean of 110 days. The QuickDASH survey has 2 additional modules that focus on the ability to work (Work Module Score or WMS) and to play a musical instrument/sport (Sport Module Score or SMS). MacDermid and colleagues studied up-

per extremity conditions and showed a reduction in QuickDASH score of 15 points or more to appreciate a change in function; their study, however, did not include Dupuytren disease.

The correlation between improvement of contracture and patient-reported outcomes after treatment for Dupuytren disease has been shown to be weak or nonexistent. Budd and colleagues showed that the change in QuickDASH score and change in extension deficit did not correlate.

Post-procedure patient satisfaction also contributes to the patient’s perceived function of the digit(s). Most patients are satisfied with the outcomes of the procedure at 1 year. Patient satisfaction outcomes following fasciotomy and collagenase treatment showed rates of 84% at an average of 10 months and 73% at 3-year follow-up.

Complication rates are low after percutaneous fasciotomy. Pess and colleagues reviewed more than 1000 percutaneous releases and found skin tear to be the most common complication, occurring in only 3.4%; nerve laceration occurred in 0.1%. Skin ruptures have been reported in from 5% to 38% of patients. Nerve injuries (<0.5%) and tendon injuries (<0.05%) are rare.

Percutaneous Fasciectomy Technique •

Under sterile conditions, 3.0 mL of 1% lidocaine without epinephrine is injected into the skin and subcutaneous tissues proximal to the intended site of cord division.

•

A #15 scalpel blade is placed between the skin, parallel to the underlying cord (Fig. 1A).

•

The finger is extended to deliver the taut cord to the blade,

CAMPBELL ORTHOPAEDIC JOURNAL • VOLUME 7, 2021

29

which is then directed perpendicular to the cord (Fig. 1B).

•

The knife is gently pushed against the underlying cord with the finger held in forceful extension. The cord tissue when being divided yields a palpable gritty sensation and usually produces a predictable audible pop when the cord gives way.

•

The scalpel is removed and forceful extension is used to obtain as much correction as possible (Fig. 1C).

•

Occasionally additional sites along the cord are released, sometimes using a 25-gauge needle mounted on a syringe.

After the procedure, a soft dressing is applied and patients are instructed to begin range of motion exercises immediately. The soft dressing is removed the day after the procedure, and wound healing monitored daily for closure and home-based range-ofmotion exercises are continued.

Outcomes In 52 patients (65 digits) followed prospectively from the time of the office-based procedure to 1-year follow-up, the rate

of recurrence was 33%. The average metacarpophalangeal joint correction in active extension was from 39.6 to 9.3 (P = .001), and passive extension correction was from 25.4 to 3.6 of hyperextension (P = .001). The average QuickDASH score decreased by 8, the WMS score by 12, and the SMS score by 9 compared with preoperative scores, and these decreases were statically significant. The improvement in patient-reported outcomes (WMS and SMS) did correlate at 6 weeks and 1 year with active extension improvement. Also, SMS at 1 year correlated with passive extension improvement. On average, the wound closed by 7 days and pain resolved by day 2. The average highest pain score was 2.3 on a scale of 10. None of patients who had the procedure sustained a sensory deficit.

At 1 year, 82% of patients were satisfied with the outcome of their procedure, and 87% considered the procedure worth having done. A much shorter recovery time with this officebased procedure is appealing and is useful in patients with welldefined cords, especially with MP joint contractures.

J. STEPHEN CHAMBERS, MD Hometown: McDonough, Georgia Undergraduate Institution: Georgia Institute of Technology Medical School: Mercer University School of Medicine-Savannah Dr. Chambers has a younger brother and is the first in his family to choose medicine as a career.

When asked why he chose medicine as a career: I chose a career in medicine because the human body is the world’s best machine, and I wanted to learn more about it.

And why he chose orthopaedics as a specialty: The ability to restore a patient’s function is what I find truly special, and I believe orthopaedics best fosters this.

Plans After Campbell: Dr. Chambers will complete a Hand/Upper Extremity Fellowship at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Dr. Chambers adds: Thank you to my fellow classmates. These past five years have been unforgettable, and I couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you to all the Campbell Clinic faculty and the staff (especially Karen and Tonya) for the countless hours of education and support you provided. Thank you, Dr. Cal, for introducing me to the best subspecialty. I am grateful for my experience here and proud to call myself a Campbell Clinic graduate.

Patient-Related Risk Factors Predict Outcomes After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Background/Hypothesis Several factors are known to impact outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair; however, little is known about patient-specific, potentially modifiable risk factors that may be of significance. Based on prior study of the early post-operative effects of these factors, we hypothesized that certain preoperative patient characteristics would have an impact on pain and functional outcomes at a minimum of 2 years follow-up after primary arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Methods After Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, records review identified 75 primary arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs with at least 2 years (2.2-6.5 years) of clinical follow-up done at our institution by a single shoulder and elbow trained surgeon. Based on previous studies of short-term outcomes, we included pre-operative tobacco use, opioid use, alcohol use, disability claims, mood disorders (depression/anxiety), worker’s compensation claims, and obesity as patient-specific variables. Outcomes measures included visual analog (VAS) pain scores, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) scores, range of motion (ROM) and strength at a minimum of 2 years follow up. Risk factor analysis was performed using Student t-tests and ANOVA with p<0.05 considered statistically significant.

Results Of the variables studied, preoperative smoking was a significant predictor of pain at most recent follow-up (VAS 4.5 vs 1.3, p=0.009). Smoking patients also had worse ASES (62.4 vs 84.0, p=0.004) and SANE (63.0 vs 83.4, p=0.011) scores at most recent follow-up. Preoperative opioid use also trended toward worse pain (VAS 2.6 vs 1.3, p=0.06) and ASES (74.1 vs 84.9 p= 0.074) scores at minimum 2-year follow-up, with no significant difference in SANE (76.1 vs 82.8, p=0.27). However, alcohol use, disability claims, mood disorders, worker’s compensation claims, and obesity were not associated with significantly inferior pain scores or functional outcomes at most recent follow-up (all p>0.05).

There were no statistically significant differences noted regarding ROM or strength for any of the risk factors studied.

Pre-operative smoking and opioid use were both associated with increased pain and inferior function at a minimum of 2 years following primary arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Moreover, these represent potentially modifiable risk factors that can be addressed before operative intervention to optimize outcomes and maximize value. Alcohol use, disability claims, mood disorders, worker’s compensation claims, and obesity were not associated with worse pain or functional scores at a minimum of 2 years follow-up in this study.

JOSEPH T. CLINE, MD Hometown: Raleigh, North Carolina Undergraduate Institution: Davidson College Medical School: University of North Carolina School of Medicine Dr. Cline is an only child, and his decision to choose medicine as a career came naturally - his father is a general surgeon, and his mother is a dermatologist.

Dr. Cline met his wife, Meg, at Davidson College where he was fortunate enough to have the apartment below hers. They were married in 2018 and have one son - Robert Tucker Cline, who was born on April 7, 2021. Meg is the Director of Summer Programming at Lausanne Collegiate School.

When asked why he chose medicine as a career: I grew up around medicine with both my parents being doctors. I always enjoyed meeting their patients out in the community and having them go out of their way to tell me how one of my parents had helped them in some way. I knew I wanted a career where I could have a similar impact on people’s lives.

And why he chose orthopaedics as a specialty: Orthopaedics allows us to make a tangible, often immediate, difference in our patients’ lives. I loved the idea that I could help a patient struggling with a debilitating problem to not only get out of pain, but go back to being active and enjoying their life.

Plans After Campbell: Dr. Cline will complete an Adult Reconstruction Fellowship at Rush University in Chicago.

Dr. Cline adds: Honestly, it’s impossible to name everyone deserving of thanks. The Campbell Clinic has many unique features that make it such an amazing place to train, but I think the people we get the privilege of learning from and with stand apart the most. From the trauma and pediatric staff who see us through the busy summer nights on call to the joints staff who helped guide me on my chosen career path, I’m incredibly grateful for everyone here.

A Biomechanical Investigation of Shape Memory Staples Purpose The use of shape memory alloys, specifically nitinol staples, has gained popularity in orthopedic osteosynthesis applications secondary to their inherent simplicity and ease of use as well as their biomechanical compressive ability. The key objectives of this pilot study were to determine the effect on staple leg and bridge length and unicortical versus bicortical fixation on compression, bending stiffness, and torsional rigidity as well as to investigate how staple position and construct configuration would altered these values.

Methods Transverse osteotomies were made using a sagittal saw in identical bicortical sawbones blocks to simulate an osteosynthesis site. This site was fixed with a single staple of varying bridge and leg length with unicortical or bicortical purchase. Tekscan sensors were used to determine compressive force before and after cyclic loading with a four-point bender and biaxial mechanical testing frame to determine bending stiffness and torsional rigidity of each construct. Also tested were anatomic sawbones 1st metatarsal and metacarpal models which were fixed with different staple products and constructs from multiple different manufacturers including: orthogonal and parallel placed two staple constructs, multiple four-leg staples, and a staple plate.

Results This study is currently underway at the UTHSC Orthopedic Biomechanics Lab (DiAngelo). All materials have been obtained, but await final protocol testing prior to formal testing runs.

Conclusions We hypothesize that staples placed with bicortical technique, perpendicular to a potential osteosynthesis site will produce the most compression, bending stiffness, and torsional rigidity. Also, we hypothesize that orthogonally placed staples will produce the most bending stiffness and torsional rigidity among staple constructs with each producing similar compressive ability.

PARKER P. DUNCAN, MD Hometown: Johnson City, TN Undergraduate Institution: University of Memphis Medical School: University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine Dr. Duncan is the oldest of three children. He follows in the footsteps of his father, an orthopaedic spine surgeon, in choosing a career in medicine.

Dr. Duncan met his wife August at the University of Memphis, and they were married in 2014. August is an Executive Assistant and recently earned her MHA. When asked why he chose medicine as a career: Growing up, I enjoyed science (biology and chemistry) and enjoyed studying physiology and anatomy. I shadowed my dad and his partners as well for job experience, and seeing the good they could do for their patients through medicine was inspiring to me to pursue a career in it.

And why he chose orthopaedics as a specialty: In medical school, my favorite subject was gross anatomy, and I really enjoyed working in the gross lab. I spent four semesters teaching anatomy to other med students as a tutor throughout med school. Orthopaedics is all about anatomy, so naturally it was a fit for me, as I knew I would go into surgery.

Plans After Campbell: Dr. Duncan will complete a Foot and Ankle Fellowship at Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado.

Dr. Duncan adds: Thank you to all of my staff for allowing me to take care of your patients. Thank you, as well, for your time and resources that make our training at Campbell Clinic the best orthopaedic training in the world.

Single Dose Antibiotic Regimens in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty are Safe in the Outpatient Surgery Setting Background As the healthcare environment continues to evolve, government and regulatory organizations continue to place increasing emphasis on the delivery of safe, high-quality, cost-effective, and efficient healthcare. This has led to a shift toward shorter hospital stays and increased utilization of the outpatient setting for total joint arthroplasty. Shoulder arthroplasty is a valuable procedure in the treatment of end-stage shoulder condition, and the demand for total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) continues to increase. Recent literature supports outpatient shoulder arthroplasty as a safe alternative to the traditional inpatient setting in appropriately selected patients. One potential drawback to outpatient TSA is the inability to administer 24 hours of intravenous (IV) prophylactic antibiotics to prevent prosthetic joint injection (PJI) as generally, patients are sent home on the same day of surgery.

Methods An institutional database query was used to identify patients who underwent either primary anatomic (aTSA) or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) between the years of 2009 to 2019. Patient candidacy for outpatient TSA was based on each patient’s overall health status, adequacy of social support, and patient preference. A multidisciplinary team comprised of physical therapy, anesthesiology and orthopaedic surgery evaluated the patient preoperatively for candidacy of outpatient TSA. Of the total 1,022 patients identified, 896 received 24hr of perioperative IV antibiotics while in the traditional inpatient setting and 126 patients received a single dose of preoperative IV antibiotics (single) prior to undergoing an outpatient TSA at an ambulatory surgery center. Outcomes measured include overall infection and revision rates. Infection rate was further subcategorized into superficial versus deep infection. Additionally, the timing of infection was subcategorized as early, with the diagnosis made within first three months after the procedure, or late, with the diagnosis made after three months.

The 896 patients who received 24hr of IV antibiotics had an average age of 67.6±9.9 years (age range of 22-90). The average age of the 129 patients who received a single dose of antibiotics was 57.3±7.7 years (range of 33 to 79). The 24hr groups was on average 10.3 years older (p<0.001) than the single dose cohort. The patients in the 24hr group were more likely to undergo rTSA (61.5% vs 29.4%; p=<0.0001), more likely to have diabetes (23.0% vs 10.3%; p=0.001), and hypertension (69.3% vs 47.6%, p=<0.0001). The patients in the single dose group were more likely to have undergone previous non-arthroplasty shoulder surgery on the operative side (23.8% vs 16.5%; p=0.04). Employment status (p=<0.0001) and indication for procedure (p=0.001) varied significantly between the two groups. The patients in single dose group were more likely to be employed and patients in the 24hr group were more likely to be retired (employed single: 73.8% vs 24hr: 24.4%, retired single: 14.3% vs 24hr: 57.1%, unemployed single: 11.9% vs 24hr: 18.5%).

CAMPBELL ORTHOPAEDIC JOURNAL • VOLUME 7, 2021

Average length of follow-up was 23.0±21.0 months for the 24hr group and 17.8±15.6 months for the single dose group. There was no significant difference in overall infection rate (24hr: 1.5% vs single: 1.6%, p=0.71) or revision rate (24hr: 4.6% vs single: 3.2%, p=0.47). Rate of superficial (24hr: 0.2% vs single: 0%) or deep infection (24hr: 1.2%, single: 1.6%, p=0.73), timing of infection (24hr: <3months=0.6%, >3months=0.9% vs single dose: <3months=0%, >3months=1.6%, p=0.53), and revision for infection (24hr: 1.1% vs single: 0.8%) versus non-infectious indications (24hr: 4.6% vs single: 3.2%, p=0.92) were not statistically significant.

Discussion The goal of this study was to compare infection rates of single dose antibiotic prophylaxis in an ambulatory setting versus 24hr

IV antibiotic prophylaxis in an inpatient setting in patients undergoing TSA. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report such antibiotic regimens in TSA. This study is the largest to date comparing single dose and 24hr antibiotic regimens in TSA. Our data revealed no significant difference in infection rates between 24hr IV inpatient antibiotic regimens and single dose ambulatory antibiotic regimens, most notably within the first 3 post-operative months. There were no statistically significant differences in post-operative infection or revision rate seen between the two groups. Ultimately, this study suggests that a single dose of IV antibiotic prophylaxis protocols can be safely used in patients undergoing TSA in an ambulatory center.

Frequency of and Risk Factors for Postoperative Urinary Retention (POUR) after Total Hip Arthroplasty: Study of 409 Arthroplasties Background Total joint arthroplasty has seen a practice shift in the past few years as more surgeons begin to perform total hip and total knee arthroplasties in the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC). One reasons for delay in discharge to home is postoperative urinary retention (POUR). In this study, we defined POUR as the inability to urinate that required either intermittent catheterization or indwelling catheterization following total joint arthroplasty surgery.

Methods and Results Following Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, a retrospective record review was conducted of 409 total hip arthroplasties (357 patients) done in an ASC with a direct anterior approach. Among these patients, POUR occurred in two patients (0.5%); one patient was treated with a straight catheter inserted in the postoperative anesthesia care unit (PACU) and was able to void with control, and one patient ultimately required an indwelling catheter before discharge. Factors associated with POUR included older age, amount of time spent in the ASC, and intraoperatively albumin volume administered. The two patients who developed POUR had an average body mass index (BMI) of 26.85, average age of 60 years, average albumin volume administered of 750 milliliters, average surgical time of 1.09 hours, average operative time of 1.73 hours, and average time spent in the ASC of 20.04 hours. No significant differences were found in BMI, preoperative hematocrit, estimated blood loss, surgical time, or operating time. No significant associations were found with gender, race, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia, congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea, presence of a mood disorder, renal disease, alcohol use, current or history of tobacco use, laterality, American Society Anesthesiologist (ASA) score, type of anesthesia, anti-emetics given in the PACU, Bethanechol given in the PACU, or opiates given in the PACU.

Conclusions Corresponding Author

Our results suggest that POUR is an infrequent occurrence and can be safely managed when it does occur.

MATT “JEJO” MATHEW, MD Hometown: Olathe, Kansas Undergraduate Institution: University of Kansas Medical School: University of Kansas School of Medicine Dr. Mathew is the youngest of three brothers, and is the first in his family to pursue a medical career.

When asked why he chose medicine as a career: Despite fulfilling the stereotype of working with computers my entire life, I fell in love with medicine after shadowing a few physicians during high school. Watching them develop lasting relationships with their patients and ultimately seeing the progress patients made during their hospital stay or after surgery was something that I wanted to be a part of.

And why he chose orthopaedics as a specialty: I had an ACL reconstruction on my right knee during college (I was, what you would call, an elite athlete back then). After that, I ended up shadowing my orthopaedic surgeon who did my surgery and saw first hand the rapport he developed with patients and loved every minute of doing surgical cases with him. It was after that point that I knew I belonged in the operating room and ultimately loved being involved in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative aspects of patient care.

Plans After Campbell: Dr. Mathew will be pursuing an Adult Reconstruction Fellowship at the NorthShore Orthopaedic Institute in Chicago.

Dr. Mathew adds: Thank you to all of the Joints faculty (Guyton, Harkess, Ford, Crockarell, and Mihalko) for mentoring me all these years and showing me that joint replacements actively made the biggest difference in patients’ lives. Thank you to all of the Trauma staff at the Med (Weinlein, Rudloff, Beebe, Whittle and Cosgrove) for continuing to support us on the trauma rotation. I have continued to tell residents at other institutions that we have the best trauma experience in the country, and my experience has been well representative of that. Lastly, a big thank you to “The Office” downtown for sponsoring my weekends during the five years of residency.

Effect of Deltoid Volume on Range of Motion and Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty in Rotator Cuff-Intact and Rotator Cuff-Deficient Conditions Background Deltoid muscle function is paramount to the success of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of deltoid volume on shoulder range of motion and patient-reported outcomes following RTSA in rotator cuff-intact and rotator cuff-deficient conditions.

Methods Retrospective review of records identified 107 patients who met inclusion criteria. The rotator cuff (RC) integrity was evaluated by two musculoskeletal-trained radiologists.

Volumetric deltoid measurements were calculated from preoperative CT or MRI scans.

Satisfactory outcomes were defined as forward elevation (FE) of at least 135 degrees, external rotation of at least 35 degrees, and scores of at least 70 on the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) and Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE) patient-reported outcomes.

Results Mean total deltoid muscle volume was significantly higher in patients with satisfactory FE (57.8 cm³ ± 18.1 cm³) versus unsatisfactory FE (48.6 cm³ ± 19.5 cm³) (p = 0.013). When separated by RC integrity, total deltoid volume was significantly higher (p = 0.030) in patients who achieved satisfactory FE in the RC-deficient group but not the RC-intact group (p = 0.533).

Discussion Preoperative deltoid volume directly correlated with achieving satisfactory FE after RTSA in RC-deficient conditions and may be one factor in determining the ability to achieve satisfactory outcomes in the RC-deficient patient.

The Importance of Surgeon Judgment in Obtaining Early Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Prevent Delays in Care for Acute Subacromial Injury INTRODUCTION Shoulder pain accounts for up to one-third of orthopaedic complaints in the United States. Payors often dictate a minimum duration of conservative treatment for patients with shoulder pain emanating from the subacromial space before authorizing advanced imaging studies. This study evaluated the role of initial assessment by an orthopaedic surgeon to identify potential surgical lesions benefitting from early imaging in the setting of acute subacromial injury. We compared 1) the incidence of full and partial-thickness rotator cuff tears between patients undergoing acute magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and those initially managed conservatively, and 2) the time between initial treatment and surgery for those with surgical lesions in each group.

METHODS A retrospective analysis identified patients between the age of 18 and 65 who presented to an outpatient orthopaedic clinic between 2015 and 2018 with the initial diagnosis of subacromial injury that began within 3 months from presentation. These initial diagnoses included partial or full-thickness rotator cuff tear, subacromial bursitis, rotator cuff strain, and subacromial impingement. All patients were initially evaluated by a board certified orthopaedic surgeon. Patients with fractures, those receiving prior physical therapy, MRI, other advanced imaging, or other targeted treatments such as corticosteroid and/or biologic injections were excluded. The study group included patients who had an acute MRI ordered at their initial visit after being judged by the treating physician as having a high likelihood of a surgical lesion. The control group of remaining patients were treated conservatively without obtaining an acute MRI. Data abstracted from the electronic medical record included an MRI order at initial or subsequent visits, duration of time to MRI completion, surgical intervention, and duration from initial visit to surgery. When obtained, MRIs were reviewed to determine the presence of full-thickness or high-grade partial thickness rotator cuff tears. Dependent sample t-test compared the patient characteristics between the control group and the acute MRI group. Analysis of variance and simple and multivariate linear regression were used to evaluate the amount of time to MRI and to surgery based on injury type.

A total of 367 patients were included in the retrospective analysis; 298 had initial conservative treatment, while 69 had an MRI ordered at their initial visit. In the MRI-first group, 32 patients (46.4%) had surgery at an average time of 85 days from presentation compared to 38 patients (12.8%) in the conservatively treated group at an average time of 140 days from presentation (p=0.019). The average time to scan for the MRI-first group was 20 days compared to 89 days in the conservatively treated cohort (p<0.001).

After a trial of conservative therapy, 84 of the 298 (28.1%) patients had an MRI subsequently completed. Review of MRI scans revealed that 41/69 (59.4%) patients who had an MRI ordered at the initial visit had a full-thickness rotator cuff tear and 8/69 (11.6%) had a partial-thickness tear. Of the patients in whom initial conservative treatment failed,

CAMPBELL ORTHOPAEDIC JOURNAL • VOLUME 7, 2021

33/84 scans (39.3%) revealed a full-thickness tear and 17/84 (20.2%) a partial thickness tear. Chi square analysis demonstrated a significant difference in the presence of a full-thickness rotator cuff tear with MRI ordered at first visit, 59.4%, versus diagnosis of full-thickness tear after trial of conservative treatment, 39.3% (p=0.020).

DISCUSSION A minimal period of non-operative treatment often is dictated by payors for patients presenting with suspected acute subacromial injury; however, these data suggest that acute MRI is warranted in patients who are judged by a board-certified orthopaedic

surgeon to have a potential surgical lesion. Specifically, almost 60% of patients who had acute MRIs had a full-thickness rotator cuff tear, significantly more than patients treated non-operatively upon initial evaluation. Further, patients who first have a trial of conservative treatment for suspected acute subacromial injury experience a significant delay both to MRI and surgical intervention, if indicated. Because delays in surgical treatment of rotator cuff tears have been shown to have compromised functional outcomes, we conclude surgeon judgment is an important factor in the decision to obtain MRI in the setting of acute subacromial injury to prevent these delays in care.

TRENTON T. STEVENS, MD Hometown: Johnson City, Tennessee Undergraduate Institution: University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill Medical School: University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine Dr. Stevens is the middle child, with an older sister and a younger brother. He is the first in his family to pursue a career in medicine.

Dr. Stevens met his wife Jeanne-Marie, a CRNA, at college in Chapel Hill. They were married in 2019, and their daughter Eleanor Louise will be one year old in June.

When asked why he chose medicine as a career: I pursued a career in medicine for reasons too many to list, but primarily for the challenge of staying ahead in a continually evolving complex field, the ability to take care of patients both healthy and severely traumatized, and the opportunity to use my education and training to positively impact patients on a daily basis.

And why he chose orthopaedics as a specialty: I chose orthopaedics after my rotation in the emergency department when I witnessed trauma admits with severe injuries and the amount of planning, expertise, passion and commitment by the trauma team and staff to successfully care for and treat these patients.

Plans After Campbell: Dr. Stevens will complete an Orthopaedic Trauma Fellowship at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

Dr. Stevens adds: I would like to thank all of the Campbell Clinic faculty and staff for their dedication and commitment to resident training and education. I am exceptionally thankful for the mentorship of Dr. Rudloff, Dr. Weinlein and Dr. Beebe.

I aspire to carry on the same passion they have for orthopaedic trauma and education throughout my own career. I am beyond grateful for the companionship and support of my fellow residents, before and after me, who push me to be a better person and physician.

Closed Reductions of Pediatric Wrist, Forearm, and Elbow Fractures in a Free-Standing Ambulatory Surgery Center is a Safe and Cost-effective Alternative to the Emergency Department Background Pediatric extremity fractures and dislocations have historically been treated on the day of presentation to the pediatric emergency department (PED). As the use of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) has increased, so has delayed treatment of these injuries in an outpatient setting.

Objectives The goal of this study was to examine clinical and radiographic outcomes, as well as length of stay, in the treatment of pediatric upper extremity fractures below the elbow in the pediatric ED, hospital ASC (hASC), and a free-standing ASC (fASC).

Methods A retrospective chart review identified pediatric patients who had closed manipulation and immobilization of upper extremity injuries distal to the elbow from October 2013, to December 2018. We specifically looked at 3 venues of care: a level 1 PED, a hASC, and a fASC. There were 95 and 99 patients in the hASC and fASC cohorts, respectively.

To match these numbers, the first 99 patients in the PED group were considered. The primary outcomes were length of visit, length of sedation, time from admission to procedure, time from initial presentation to reduction in the outpatient groups, post-procedure radiographic parameters of angulation and change in angulation, procedural complications, need for remanipulation, and need for conversion to open treatment.

There was a significant difference in the length of visit between all groups, with the fASC being about 80 and 73 minutes shorter compared to the PED and hASC groups, respectively (p<0.05). There was no significant difference amongst the groups for length of sedation. On average, patients waited approximately 193 minutes prior to reduction in the PED compared to 83 minutes at the fASC and 143 minutes at the hASC, which was significant (p<0.05). Pre- and post- radiographic fracture angulation and displacement were similar for the groups. There were no procedural complications for any of the groups, and there was no significant difference in the rates of remanipulation and conversion to open treatment.

CARSON D. STRICKLAND, MD Hometown: Columbus, Georgia Undergraduate Institution: University of Georgia Medical School: Mercer University School of Medicine Dr. Strickland is the older of two children, and his sibling Chandler is a NICU nurse in Athens, Georgia. Dr. Strickland is the first MD in his family.

Dr. Strickland and his wife Klaire became best friends after college and were married in 2013. Klaire is an insurance claims analyst who works remotely from home while also taking care of their two children - five-year-old Mary Jennings, and twoand-a-half-year-old Collins.

When asked why he chose medicine as a career: Growing up, I was interested in science and athletics. Though I enjoyed playing sports, I realized pretty early on that professional athletics weren't in the cards for me. The opportunity to take care of athletes and sports injuries seemed like a nice consolation to playing in the big leagues, and this is what initially attracted me to medicine, and especially, orthopaedics.

And why he chose orthopaedics as a specialty: Ultimately, I was blessed to have many mentors who helped me learn that there was much more to orthopaedics than being on the sidelines on Friday night. We are able to provide pain relief, deformity correction, and improvement in functioning in a generally quick manner. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone you’ve treated return to an active lifestyle or be able to walk with a plantigrade foot.

Plans After Campbell: Dr. Strickland will complete a Foot and Ankle Fellowship at OrthoCarolina in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will then join the staff at Mid-Tennessee Bone and Joint Clinic in Columbia, Tennessee.

Dr. Strickland adds: To the Campbell Clinic staff: I sincerely thank you for your patience, wisdom, and teaching that you have imparted on me. I have learned so much about orthopaedics and how to run a private practice from each of you, but also about life and the art of medicine. It has been an honor to train here under your guidance, and I am forever grateful for my time here.

I would like to thank the trauma staff for teaching me how to operate and take care of the vast majority of traumatic orthopaedic injuries I will encounter in practice.

Lastly, I would like to give a special thanks to the foot and ankle staff for your mentorship and helping me become a foot and ankle surgeon. I have learned so many different techniques and philosophies from each of you, and my practice will bear aspects from each of yours. I am excited for next year, but I feel like I have already had the best foot and ankle training in the country.

To the residents: It has been a pleasure working with of all you, and I cherish the friendships and memories we have made over the past five years. Best of luck to everyone still going through the process. It gets better.

To my parents: Thank you for your unwavering support and always putting your children before yourselves. I would not be here today without all the sacrifices you have made for me.

To my wife, Klaire: You are the glue that holds our family together, and you have been the real MVP during this long and arduous process. You deserve just as much credit as I do for completing residency. Thank you for your love and support in helping me realize my goals. I love you.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Utilization of Total Knee Arthroplasty Among Older Women ABSTRACT Importance Although racial/ethnic differences in functional outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) exist, whether such differences are associated with differences in presurgical physical function (PF) has not been thoroughly investigated.

Objective To examine trajectories of PF by race/ethnicity before and after TKA among older women.

Design, Setting, And Participants This cohort study was conducted among the prospective Women’s Health Initiative with linked Medicare claims data. A total of 10,325 community-dwelling women throughout the United States with Medicare fee-for-service underwent primary TKA between October 1, 1993, and December 31, 2014, and were followed up through March 31, 2017.

Exposures Race/ethnicity comparisons between Hispanic or Latina women, non-Hispanic black or African American women, and non-Hispanic white women (hereafter referred to as Hispanic, black, and white women, respectively).

Main Outcomes And Measures Physical functioning scale scores and self-reported activity limitations with walking 1 block, walking several blocks, and climbing 1 flight of stairs were measured by the RAND 36-Item Health Survey during the decade before and after TKA, with a median of 9 PF measurements collected per participant over time.

Results In total, 9528 white women (mean [SD] age at surgery, 74.6 [5.5] years), 622 black women (mean [SD] age at surgery, 73.1 [5.3] years), and 175 Hispanic women (mean [SD] age at surgery, 73.1 [5.2] years) underwent TKA. During the decade prior to TKA, black women had lower PF scores than white women (mean difference, −5.8 [95% CI, −8.0 to −3.6]) and higher odds of experiencing difficulty walking a single block (5 years before TKA: odds ratio, 1.86 [95% CI, 1.57-2.21]), walking multiple blocks (odds ratio, 2.14 [95% CI, 1.83-2.50]), and climbing 1 flight of stairs (odds ratio, 1.81 [95% CI, 1.55-2.12]). After TKA, black women continued to have lower PF scores throughout the decade (mean difference 1 year after TKA, −7.8 [95% CI, −10.8 to −4.9]). After adjusting for preoperative PF scores, PF scores after TKA were attenuated (mean difference 1 year after TKA, −3.0 This open access article was reproduced from Cavanaugh A, Rauh MJ, Thompson CA, et al: Racial and ethnic disparities in utilization of total knee arthroplasty among older women, JAMA Netw Open 2020; May 1 30(5):e204937 under creative commons license.

[95% CI, −5.3 to −0.7]), with no statistically significant differences in long-term follow-up. Hispanic women had similar PF scores to white women during the pre-TKA and post-TKA periods.

Conclusions And Relevance This study suggests that black women had significantly poorer

INTRODUCTION

Racial/ethnic disparities in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are well documented.1-3 Less studied, but equally important, are the racial/ethnic disparities in outcomes after TKA.4 Current evidence suggests that racial/ethnic minority groups experience lower satisfaction, higher postoperative pain, more residual joint stiffness, and poorer physical function (PF) after joint arthroplasty.4 Preoperative PF is associated with function after TKA.5,6 Limited evidence is currently available regarding the association of preoperative PF and racial disparities in functional outcomes. However, poorer PF among black and Hispanic patients undergoing TKA have been reported.7-10 Little is known regarding the onset and progression of functional limitations prior to TKA. A longer duration of living with limited mobility could be associated with further deterioration in muscle strength, restrictions in joint range of motion, and altered pain pathways.11-13 Thus, both the level of PF at the time of surgery and the duration of PF limitations may be important factors associated with functional outcomes after TKA. The purpose of this study was to use prospectively collected data from a large cohort of community-dwelling older women to assess functional status trajectories by race/ethnicity during the decades leading to and following TKA.

PF than white women during the decades before and after TKA. Poorer PF after surgery was associated with poorer preoperative PF. Reducing disparities in post-TKA functional outcomes should target maintenance of function preoperatively in the early stages of arthritic disease and/or reduction of delays to receiving TKA once need arises.

Women were followed up until September 2005, and surviving women were then invited to participate in subsequent extension studies from 2005 to the present. Written informed consent was obtained from each participant. Procedures were approved by the institutional review boards at all participating institutions.

This study followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) reporting guideline.

Figure 1: Study Inclusion Flowchart

METHODS Participants This prospective cohort study used data from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), which included 2 major parts: clinical trials and an observational study. The design of the WHI is described in detail elsewhere.14,15 In brief, the WHI enrolled 161,808 postmenopausal community-dwelling women at 40 US clinical centers between October 1, 1993, and December 31, 1998.

ESRD indicates end-stage renal disease; FFS, fee for service; and TKA, total knee arthroplasty.

CAMPBELL ORTHOPAEDIC JOURNAL • VOLUME 7, 2021

Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) claims data have been linked to 145,753 consenting WHI participants.

Those who self-identified as non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, or Hispanic or Latina and had Medicare data available were included in this study (Figure 1). Medicare Part A FFS claims were used to identify women who underwent a first TKA from the time of WHI enrollment through December 31, 2014, using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision primary procedure code 81.54. Because the focus was on PF trajectories from time of first TKA, women with prior TKA were excluded. Self-report of joint replacement, other than hip replacement, or a documented procedure code of 81.54 in FFS claims prior to WHI enrollment were used to identify prior TKA. Women without continuous FFS coverage from the time of WHI enrollment or the time of Medicare enrollment until the time of TKA were excluded for lack of surgical history information.

Measures The RAND 36-Item Health Survey (RAND-36) PF scale was used to measure PF.16 This composite score (range, 0-100, where 0 indicates maximal disability and 100 indicates no limitations) includes 10 survey questions regarding self-perceived difficulty in specific functional activities. Women’s Health Initiative clinical trial participants completed this questionnaire at the screening visit, at 1-year follow-up year 1, and at the end of study, with a 25% subsample completing additional surveys at 3, 6, and 9 years. Surveys were administered to observational study participants at baseline and year 3. Surveys were administered annually to all extension study participants beginning in 2005, and this study included measurements collected through 2017.

Three items of the RAND-36 questionnaire were also analyzed as binary outcomes to determine specific activity limitations prior to TKA. If a woman responded that her health limited her either “a little” or “a lot” in climbing 1 flight of stairs, walking 1 block, or walking several blocks, she was classified as having an activity limitation with the corresponding functional task.

Demographic information was collected through questionnaires administered at the WHI baseline.

Race/ethnicity was categorized according to self-identified racial or ethnic group and was limited to the responses of non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black

or African American, or Hispanic or Latina (referred to hereafter as white, black, and Hispanic, respectively).

Self-reported family annual income at baseline (classified as <$20 000, $20 000 to <$50 000, and $50 000) and highest educational level (classified as less than a high school diploma or General Educational Development certificate, high school diploma or General Educational Development certificate, some college or associate degree, and Baccalaureate degree or higher) were used to assess socioeconomic status (SES). Neighborhood SES (NSES), a computed variable based on 2000 census tract-level data on poverty, educational level, and other SES variables within the geographical region, was also included as a measure of SES.17,18 Neighborhood SES values range from 0 to 100, with higher values representing more affluent census tracts.

Body mass index (BMI) was measured at baseline using height and weight collected by trained assessors using a wall-mounted stadiometer to the nearest 0.1 cm and a balance beam scale to the nearest 0.1 kg. Body mass index was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared and categorized according to World Health Organization cutpoints (underweight, <18.5; healthy weight, 18.5 to <25; overweight, 25 to <30; obese I, 30 to <35; obese II, 35 to <40; obese III, ≥ 40).19 Marital status, living arrangement, depressive symptoms, and physical activity were determined using the data collection point prior to and most recent to TKA. Marital status was dichotomized (yes or no) according to the response of being currently married or in an intimate relationship. Living arrangement was dichotomized (yes or no) based on whether the participant lived alone. Presence of depressive symptoms was determined using the 8-item scale for depressive disorders by Burnam et al,20 which combines 6 questions from the short form of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale and 2 items from the Diagnostic Interview Schedule, with a score range of 0 to 1 (where 0 indicates lowest probability of having a depressive disorder and 1 indicates highest probability).

A cutoff of 0.06 was used to determine the presence of depressive symptoms.21 Time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity was based on self-reported frequency and duration of activities of various intensities. Moderate to vigorous physical activity was classi-

Statistical Analysis Assessment of Pre-TKA Functional Status and Temporal Changes Physical function 1 year prior to surgery for each participant was estimated using generalized linear mixed modeling. Physical function scores from the 10-year period prior to date of surgery were included in the modeling to estimate PF 1 year prior to surgery. With the use of multiple imputations, missing PF measurements for intervals of less than 1 year, 1 to less than 2 years, 2 to less than 5 years, and 5 to 10 years prior to TKA were imputed. Multiple imputation using chained equations was performed with variables of PF, age, time of PF collection, quadratic time, and cubic time and auxiliary variables of baseline PF, time from baseline PF to TKA, and multimorbidity. Twenty-five imputed data sets were created. Generalized linear mixed modeling was then performed using the imputed data sets. Unstructured covariance was used to obtain robust estimates, after comparing Akaike information criterion statistics of models fit with unstructured, autoregressive, and Toeplitz structures. Generalized linear mixed modeling included age, a cubic spline with 5 knots for time, and random intercepts to account for differences in PF measurements at the individual level. Results were averaged among the imputed data sets,24 and individual PF measurements 1 year prior to

TKA was used as a variable for subsequent modeling.

Physical function trajectories over time by race/ ethnicity were modeled using generalized estimating equations (GEEs) in the preoperative and postoperative periods. Preoperative PF was modeled for a period of 10 years prior to surgery. Race/ethnicity and age at TKA were independent variables in the GEE models.

Quadratic and cubic time variables were included to allow for nonlinear changes in PF over time. Interaction terms for time and race/ethnicity were included to allow for differing rates of change in PF by race/ethnicity. Interactions were retained in the model if the Wald test statistic was significant at P < .10. Because differences in PF between racial/ethnic groups before and after TKA would be compared, women without both pre-TKA and post-TKA PF measurements were excluded from the PF GEE models. To examine whether race/ ethnicity associations with preoperative PF varied by SES, the variables NSES, income, and educational level were stratified at their median values, and interaction terms for each were added into 3 separate GEE models. An autoregressive working correlation structure was used for all GEE models.

Activity limitations by race/ethnicity in the decade before TKA were assessed using 3 GEE models with binary outcomes of difficulty walking 1 block, difficulty walking several blocks, and difficulty climbing 1 flight of stairs. Race/ethnicity, time, and interactions of race/

ethnicity and time were included using the same method as described for the PF GEE models. Estimated probabilities of experiencing difficulties in the 3 activity limitations were determined during a 10-year interval prior to surgery.

Assessment of Post-TKA Functional Status and Temporal Changes Unadjusted mean values of PF both before and after TKA were calculated at annual increments for each racial/ethnic group and included all available PF scores collected within 364 days of the start of the year. For example, year 1 after TKA included PF scores collected at day 365 through day 729. Scores collected during the first postoperative year were not included because of an assumed temporary decline during 64

the initial postoperative recovery period.25 Generalized estimating equation modeling in the postoperative decade used PF measurements collected from 365 days after TKA through year 10 and applied the same method as described for the preTKA period. To evaluate whether preoperative PF was associated with racial/ethnic differences in postoperative PF, participants’ estimated 1-year preoperative PF scores as determined by generalized linear mixed modeling were included as an independent variable in the postoperative PF GEE model. Specific time periods of 1 and 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years from TKA were selected to examine disparities in short-term, midterm, and long-term outcomes, respectively.

censoring weighting was performed. The inverse of the estimated probability of remaining in the study26 (having available post-TKA PF measures) was used to determine individual weights for pre-TKA and postTKA PF GEE models. Probabilities of remaining in the study were estimated by logistic regression using factors of baseline PF and BMI, 1-year pre-TKA PF, age at TKA, race/ethnicity, multimorbidity, depression, moderate to vigorous physical activity, income, educational level, NSES, and region. Confidence intervals were determined based on a bootstrap distribution with 500 resampling iterations.

All P values were from 2-sided tests and results were deemed statistically significant at P < .05. All analyses were performed using SAS, version 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc).

RESULTS

Overall, 10 325 women from the WHI who underwent primary TKA were included, with 9528 (92.3%) self-identifying as white, 622 (6.0%) as black, and 175 (1.7%) as Hispanic (Table 1). The mean (SD) age at TKA was 74.6 (5.5) years for white women, 73.1 (5.2) years for Hispanic women, and 73.1 (5.3) years for black women. Compared with white women, black and Hispanic women were less likely to be married, had lower income, lower educational attainment, lower NSES,

higher BMI, and lower participation in moderate to vigorous physical activity. Black women had higher multimorbidity scores, whereas Hispanic women had lower multimorbidity scores, compared with white women.

PF Before TKA All racial/ethnic groups had declining PF during the decade before TKA, with some functional improvements after TKA (Figure 2). Black women had significantly lower PF scores than white women during the 10-year preoperative period after adjusting for age (mean difference, −5.8 [95%CI, −8.0 to –3.6]). Hispanic women also had slightly lower preoperative PF scores than white women, but this difference was not statistically significant. The odds of experiencing specific activity limitations (walking 1 block, walking several blocks, or climbing 1 flight of stairs) increased in the years approaching surgery for all racial/ethnic groups (eFigure 1 in the Supplement). Although black women had higher odds of experiencing activity limitations during the entire preoperative period compared with white women (difficulty walking a single block at 5 years prior to TKA: odds ratio [OR], 1.86 [95% CI, 1.572.21]; difficulty walking multiple blocks: OR, 2.14 [95% CI, 1.83-2.50]; difficulty climbing a flight of stairs: OR, 1.81 [95% CI, 1.55-2.12]), white women experienced higher rates of developing limitations in walking sev-

eral blocks and climbing stairs in the immediate years preceding TKA compared with black women (Table 2).

Hispanic and white women were similarly likely to experience walking limitations, but Hispanic women had 67% higher odds of difficulty with climbing a flight of stairs during the year prior to TKA compared with white women (OR, 1.67 [95% CI, 1.21-2.31]).

Differences in pre-TKA PF between black and white women were more pronounced among women with SES characteristics below median levels compared with those with higher SES levels.

PF After TKA Black women had significantly lower PF scores during the decade after TKA compared with white women (Figure 3). At 1 year after TKA, black women had age-adjusted mean PF scores 7.8 points lower than white women (95% CI, −10.8 to −4.9), representing a widening of the gap noted preoperatively (1-year pre-TKA mean difference, −5.8 [95% CI, −8.0 to −3.6]).

However, this racial difference in post-TKA PF narrowed over time (10-year post-TKA mean difference, −3.3 [95% CI, −7.1 to 0.4]) because black women, on average, experienced a more gradual decline in function compared with white women (race/ethnicity by time interaction P = .06). Hispanic women showed similar mean PF scores compared with white women during the 10-year postoperative period.

Adjustment for 1-year preoperative PF attenuated the racial/ethnic differences in postoperative PF (Figure 3). After adjustment for preoperative PF, black women still had significantly lower PF at 1 and 2 years after TKA (1-year post-TKA mean difference, −3.0 [95% CI, 5.3 to −0.7]; 2-year post-TKA mean difference, −2.5 [95% CI, −4.5 to −0.4]), but no significant differences persisted between any racial/ethnic groups after year 2. After adjustment for pre-TKA function, black women had a significantly slower overall rate of decline in PF than white women during the decade after TKA.

Sensitivity Analyses Women with characteristics of poorer health (higher BMI, multimorbidity, and depression) were more likely to have missing post-TKA PF scores, and there was a statistically significant difference in censoring by race/ethnicity (eTable 2 in the Supplement). The inverse probability of censoring weighting resulted in a strengthening of the association between PF and 66

race/ethnicity during the post-TKA decade.

DISCUSSION

In a population of community-dwelling older women who underwent TKA, black women had significantly poorer PF scores than white women during the decade before TKA, which persisted during the decade after TKA. After adjustment for preoperative PF, black women had lower PF scores than their white counterparts for the first 2 years after surgery but then had similar PF scores during the remaining years of follow-up. Hispanic and white women had similar preoperative and postoperative PF scores.

The TKA procedure is considered an effective treatment for adults with end-stage knee arthritis and is associated with reduced pain and improved function.

However, our findings are consistent with the growing body of evidence that suggests that older black adults do not have the same post-TKA functional outcomes as older white adults.4 Although Hispanic ethnicity has been less studied with regard to TKA, our results are congruent with 2 other reports that Hispanic ethnicity was not significantly associated with PF outcomes.7,27 Several studies investigating the potential causes of racial/ethnic disparities in post-TKA outcomes have focused on minority groups’ disproportionately higher use of low-volume surgeons or institutions28,29 and higher rates of perioperative and postoperative complications, including the development of arthrofibrosis.30-32 Others have focused on racial/ethnic differences in rehabilitation pathways or postoperative care.33,34 However, while preoperative PF is known to be associated with postoperative PF,5,6 to date, only few reports have addressed how preoperative PF may be associated with these functional outcome disparities. Kamath et al35 performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing TKA and reported that African American patients had significantly lower PF scores 2 years after TKA, which was associated with patient self-report of longer delays from onset of symptoms to presentation at the orthopedist office. Lavernia et al7 reported that non-Hispanic African American patients had worse functional scores postoperatively than white patients, even after adjusting for worse preoperative functional scores. Both studies used data from surgical institutions where pre-TKA PF and symptom reporting were measured at the patient’s first orthopedist office visit.7,35 Our findings, using a community-dwelling cohort,

CAMPBELL ORTHOPAEDIC JOURNAL • VOLUME 7, 2021

add important and novel information by illustrating the severity of activity limitations and PF impairment, which was present earlier and for a longer duration among black women. Although a gap in function persisted in short-term follow-up, even after adjustment for preoperative function, it is promising to recognize that mid-term and long-term outcomes were similar between race/ethnicity groups after accounting for differences in preoperative PF. The longer duration of PF impairment among black women is of concern because of the cyclic association with reduction in physical activity, weight gain, and further restrictions in mobility,36 all of which are associated with poorer outcomes after TKA.5 In addition to poorer PF, black women in this study had higher BMI and lower physical activity before TKA. Although we were unable to measure temporal changes in weight and physical activity prior to TKA because of the timing of data collection for these measures, previous WHI studies have reported that higher BMI and lower physical activity measured at baseline were associated with late-life mobility limitations after TKA, independent of race/ethnicity.37,38 Preserving mobility and preventing further functional decline among black women may ultimately need to include strategies such as weight management, promotion of physical activity, or targeted interventions aimed at functional mobility, such as physical therapy. Uptake of evidence-based treatments for arthritis may help slow declines in mobility due to painful joints. However, black adults with arthritis have been shown to be less likely to receive medical or pharmaceutical treatments for pain39,40 and are less likely to receive physical therapy services.41 Ultimately, identifying black adults with arthritis earlier in the disease process and increasing referrals for and uptake of evidence-based treatments aimed at preserving functional mobility may help reduce the observed disparities both before and after TKA. Reducing delays to surgery, once the clinical need for TKA arises and conservative treatments become ineffective, may help improve the prognosis postoperatively. In our study, white women who underwent TKA were more likely to develop mobility limitations in the years immediately preceding TKA, whereas black women lived with these mobility limitations several years longer. Similarly, Kamath et al35 reported that black women who underwent TKA reported, on aver-

age, an additional 20 months of delay from time of onset of disability until time of surgical consultation compared with other racial/ethnic groups. The reasons for delayed surgical intervention likely include differences in health care seeking, referral patterns, and medical access. Although all women in this study had Medicare insurance, fewer economic resources to cover copayments, deductibles, and lost wages may be associated with postponing medical care and/or surgical intervention.42-44 In our study, women with fewer financial resources experienced poorer PF during the decade prior to TKA, yet the racial/ethnic disparities in preoperative PF were wider in this group than among women with greater SES resources. Mistrust of medical professionals and misconceptions about the benefits and risks of TKA are prevalent among older black adults and have been associated with the underuse of TKA among this group.45-47 These same factors may play a role in deferral and thus delayed receipt of TKA. In addition, differences between racial/ethnic groups in social responsibilities and resources could be associated with decisions to undergo TKA. Black women were less likely to be married and more likely to live alone; thus, postsurgical care concerns may have led to an initial hesitation to undergo TKA. In addition to economic, cultural, and social factors that may be associated with the timeliness of patients’ decisions to undergo TKA, clinician factors including implicit bias may be associated with referrals, recommendations, and timeliness of surgical treatment. Emerging research suggests that, despite the presence of clinicians’ implicit biases, race/ethnicity does not appear to be associated with physicians’ recommendations for TKA.48,49 However, a more thorough understanding of the association of clinician biases with recommendations, patient-clinician communication, and referrals and processes of care from primary to specialist care may elucidate why patients of minority race/ethnicity present at the time of surgery with more advanced disability.7,50 Ultimately, reducing delays to surgical intervention once clinical need arises may reduce the observed disparities after TKA.

Strengths and Limitations Our study has several limitations. This study population was limited to women with Medicare FFS coverage; therefore, findings may not be generalizable to managed-care beneficiaries, men, or younger popu-

lations. The number of younger adults receiving TKA has increased over the years,51 yet disparities in the use of TKA and outcomes among adults younger than 65 years follow distinct trends from older adult populations.52,53 However, older women still remain the demographic group most likely to receive TKA,54 and given women’s longevity and the likelihood of living alone in older age,55 the examination of PF in this large cohort of aging women remains highly valuable. The findings for the Hispanic group should be interpreted with caution because of the large variability in PF, likely associated with the smaller sample size as well as the probable heterogeneity within this group. The RAND-36 is a generic, patient-reported measure and not a knee-specific or arthritis-specific tool nor a performance-based measure. Nevertheless, the PF scale of the RAND-36 provides a global view of self-perceived mobility required for daily living and has been widely used in studying outcomes after joint arthroplasty.56 Our sensitivity analysis using censoring weights demonstrated that our main findings regarding post-TKA PF are likely biased toward the null because of loss to follow-up and may in fact be an underestimation of the true disparities between racial/ethnic groups. Finally, health policy changes subsequent to the timing of the TKA procedure dates for this study may have been associated with health care use and outcomes, particularly with respect to expanded access for adults prior to or approaching Medicare eligibility. Although it is beyond the scope of this study, these findings may serve as an essential baseline for evaluating the association of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and other

policy changes with racial/ethnic differences in treatments and outcomes after TKA. Balancing these limitations were several key strengths. The Medicare-WHI linked data allowed an investigation of PF from a large, diverse population of women throughout the United States using prospectively collected individual-level measurements that would not be available from medical Medicare claims data alone. Patterns in PF were examined over an extended time period, including the preoperative decade, which likely included several years prior to the first encounter with specialist care.

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, black women had poorer PF after TKA compared with white women. The disparity in postTKA PF was associated with disparities in PF preoperatively. Efforts to reduce the racial/ethnic gap in postoperative function should be aimed at maintaining functional mobility among black women with arthritis and at reducing delays to surgery once need arises.

Investigation into the determinants of delayed use of TKA among black women warrants further attention.

Additional research is also merited to understand the greater diversity in experiences and TKA outcomes among Hispanic women. Finally, it is possible that as surgical techniques and prostheses, clinical practice guidelines, and health care policies change, disparities in PF may also change, supporting the importance of continued examination of outcomes by race/ethnicity going forward.

Patient and Procedural Factors Predict Operating Room Time Intervals in Posterior Spinal Fusion for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study Background Charges for surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have steadily increased, with an estimated 10% of these charges attributed to operating room block time alone. Maximizing operating room efficiency should be a priority. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of patient- and procedure-specific factors on operating rooom time intervals.

Methods Records of consecutive posterior spinal fusions (PSF) done in a high-volume children’s spine center over a 2-year period were reviewed, and multiple perioperative and intraoperative time intervals were recorded. Predictors of preparation time, surgery time, and total operating room time were identified using generalized linear models with backward selection. Predictors investigated included body mass index (BMI), age, gender, race, curve magnitude, scoliosis etiology, number of levels fused and screws placed, and whether or not osteotomy was performed.

Results Chart review identified 140 posterior spinal fusions. Predictors of increased total operating room time included body mass index (51.7-minute increase in obese patients; P<0.001, osteotomy performed (16.4-minute increase; P=0.001), and number of levels fused (8.9-minute increase for each level, P<0.003). Predictors of surgery time were similar. BMI was a significant predictor of variability in preparation time, with obese patients requiring 9.8 mins more of preparation time than normal weight patients P=0.003) Scoliosis etiology and curve magnitude did not significantly affect any of the times studied.

INTRODUCTION

Recently there has been an increased focus on operating room (OR) efficiency. Various studies have shown that OR costs account for 40% to 60% of total hospital costs,1,2 and these costs continue to increase.

Charges for surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were reported to have tripled between 1997 and 2012, with an estimated 10% of these charges attributed to OR block time alone.3,4 Furthermore, increased time in the OR has been linked to increased complication rates and worse outcomes.5-8 Because increased time spent in the OR leads to increased CAMPBELL ORTHOPAEDIC JOURNAL • VOLUME 7, 2021

financial burden and worse patient outcomes, maximizing OR efficiency should be a priority.

The surgeon and anesthesiologist have been shown to have a significant effect on various OR time intervals.9-11 Across multiple surgical specialties, various factors, including call models, surgery centers, team training sessions, and familiarity, also have been shown to have an effect on OR efficiency.12-15 Obesity has typically been associated with increases in operative times, while other patient-related factors have not been implicated or studied as frequently.10,16-18 It has been suggested that identification of patient and procedural factors affecting OR time may improve scheduling.19 The aim of this study was to identify patient characteristics and factors specific to pediatric posterior spinal fusion (PSF) that predict time in the OR. To our knowledge, only one study in the field of pediatric orthopaedics has looked at similar factors.10 This study builds on those findings by looking at a larger population and at various operative time intervals. We hypothesized that patient-specific and procedure-specific factors would predict OR time. Identification of these factors can contribute to improving OR efficiency through preoperative planning and OR scheduling.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Ethical Review and Study Design This retrospective cohort study was approved by the institutional review board of (approval #12-02101XP) prior to data collection and statistical analysis. Patient informed consent was waived by the ethical review board.

Data Collection A retrospective chart review of the years 2014 to 2017 identified patients under the age of 21 with spinal deformity who had PSF of seven or more levels based on CPT codes 22843 and 22844. All patients included had surgery performed by a fellowship-trained, board-certified pediatric orthopaedic surgeon and had complete medical records. Patients were excluded if they included a neurosurgeon assisting, two attending surgeons participating, insertion or revision of a rib or spine-based growth-friendly device, revision of any spinal implants, or extension of a previous fusion.

Patients with a scoliosis etiology other than idiopathic as well as those who did not have a spinal block were excluded because these were found to have a more complex and heterogenous OR course. At the time of this review, intrathecal duramorph was routinely administered by the attending anesthesiologist prior to skin incision. For consistency, only patients who received this injection were included in this review.

Intraoperative Factors Neuro-monitoring with transcranial motor-evoked potentials and somatosensory-evoked potentials was used in each case. Navigation was not used in any case; pedicle screws were placed using a combination of intraoperative fluoroscopy and anatomical landmarks. Osteotomies, when used, were only those of the posterior column, (e.g., Ponte osteotomy). No multiple-column osteotomies, such as pedicle subtraction osteotomies, or vertebral column resections were included in this study. A well-trained subset of the total OR personnel and anesthesia personnel at our institu-

CAMPBELL ORTHOPAEDIC JOURNAL • VOLUME 7, 2021

tion routinely participate in scoliosis surgeries. Personnel factors at our institution, and how each relates to the chosen time intervals, have been previously studied and published.

Time Intervals Time intervals were chosen based on previous studies looking at time in the OR and on time points available in our perioperative nursing records (Figure 1).9,14,20,21,22 Preparation time included administration of anesthetic, intubation, standard line placement, spinal block, patient positioning, and skin preparation.

Surgery time began at the first skin incision and ended with the application of the dressing.

Patient and Procedural Factors Patient factors recorded were body mass index (BMI), age at surgery, gender, ethnicity, location of major curve, and Cobb angle of major curve. Because raw BMI scores have little meaning in children without putting the score in the context of age and gender, the percentile BMI was used as recommended by the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/ obesity/childhood/defining.html). Overweight was defined as ≥ 85th percentile and <95th percentile for height and weight, and obese was defined as greater than 95th percentile. Procedural factors recorded were number of levels fused, number of screws used, and number of osteotomies performed. The surgeon has been shown to significantly predict variability in the studied time intervals in PSF and was therefore recorded to control for this factor in the model.9.10

Statistical Analysis Categorical variables are presented as frequency and percent of those non-missing, and continuous variables are presented as mean and standard deviation. Sample size calculation was not completed, as all patients meeting inclusion criteria between 2014 and 2017 were studied. To determine predictors of each OR interval, generalized linear regression was used.

Backwards selection of variables based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) rather than statistical significance was used to identify the final model. This method was chosen because the AIC identifies the subset of variables that best fit these data and avoids overfitting the model. All analyses were done using PROC GLMSELECT in SAS Software, Version 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA).

RESULTS Overall Results Of 208 PSFs identified, 140 met inclusion criteria.

The average age of patients was 14.2 years (std=2.0).

Sixty-nine percent of patients were female, 60% were of white race, 30% were overweight or obese, and 81% had a right thoracic curve, with the average Cobb angle measuring 61.4 degrees (Table 1). An average of 18.1 screws were used and an average of 11.8 levels were

fused. Osteotomy was performed in 21 patients (15%), with an average of 3.6 levels of osteotomy performed in each patient.

Surgeon Effect Surgeon effect was found to predict variability at all three time intervals. This factor was retained in the models to allow analysis of patient and personnel factors while controlling for surgeon effect.

Preparation Time (Entry into OR to Start of Surgery) BMI was a significant predictor of variability, with obese patients requiring 9.8 minutes more of preparation time than normal weight patients (95% CI [3.3, 16.3]; P=0.003).

Surgery Time (Surgery Start to Surgery End) BMI was a significant predictor of variability, with an increase of 42.4 minutes in surgery time in obese patients compared to normal weight patients (95% CI [24.2, 60.5]; P=<0.001). Osteotomy significantly increased surgery time by 14.9 minutes per each level of osteotomy performed (95% CI [7.8, 22.0]; P=<0.0001) The number of fusion levels significantly predicted an increase of 9.6 minutes with each additional level (95% CI [4.3, 14.9]; P=<0.001). The number of screws used significantly predicted an increase of 5.4 minutes with each additional screw (95% CI [2.0, 8.9]; P=0.003).

Total Room Time (Entry into OR to Exit from OR) BMI was a significant predictor of variability, with an increase of 51.7 minutes in surgery time in obese patients compared to normal weight patients (95% CI [31.4, 71.9]; P=<0.001). The number of fusion levels significantly predicted an increase of 8.9 minutes for each additional level (95% CI [3.2, 14.7]; P=0.003) and the number of screws significantly predicted an increase of 6.0 minutes for each additional screw (95% CI [2.2, 9.8]; P=0.002). Finally, the use of osteotomy increased total room time by 16.4 minutes per each level of osteotomy performed (95% CI [8.51, 24.3]; P<0.001).

Age at surgery, gender, Cobb angle of major curve, and ethnicity did not predict variation at any time interval (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in age, Cobb angle of major curve, or osteotomy between male and female patients (P>0.05).

DISCUSSION

The results of this study suggest that both patient-specific and procedure-specific factors predict significant variation at multiple operative time intervals during PSF in a pediatric population. Once in the OR, the time before the first incision was best predicted by BMI. Between the first incision and closing, BMI again was a significant predictor of time, along with osteotomy, number of screws used, and the number of fusion levels. These same factors significantly predicted total OR time. Age, gender, and ethnicity did not predict variation in any time interval.

Of the patient characteristics that predicted variations in time, BMI was the most pervasive factor with the largest effect size. Obese patients were found to add around 10 additional minutes to preparation time and roughly 40 minutes to surgery time—increases of approximately 10% and 13%, respectively. This finding is consistent with other studies that showed BMI to be predictive of surgery time.16,17 Although some studies have found no significant connection, including another study on pediatric PSF, no studies to our knowledge have shown obese patients to have shorter operative times.10,18 Overall, the results of this study add to previous findings that prolonged operative time should be expected in procedures involving obese patients; however, the effect of obesity on OR time specifically during pediatric PSF needs to be further studied because of conflicting data.

We did not find gender to be a predictor of OR time, which differs from previous studies showing males to have longer surgery times.10,23 This finding has been attributed to stiffer curves, greater curve magnitudes, and older age at surgery in males.23,24 The male patients in our study did present at an older age than female patients, but did not differ in curve magnitude, number of fusion levels, or osteotomy. This may suggest that the difference in gender seen in previous studies might be attributed to factors other than older age. Further study is needed to elucidate these factors.

Finally, curve location did not predict variation in any of the studied time intervals. This finding, however, is limited by the discrepancy in sample sizes, four left thoracic curves compared 104 right thoracic curves.

Missing data for curve location also contributed to sample size issues (Table 1).

Of the procedure-specific factors, osteotomy use

CAMPBELL ORTHOPAEDIC JOURNAL • VOLUME 7, 2021

was the most pervasive, increasing surgery and total room time. Heller et al.10 found that the use of osteotomy increases surgery time by 13%. Our findings confirm the significant effect of osteotomies on OR time and further break this down into number of osteotomies performed, with each level of osteotomy adding 14.9 minutes to surgery time and 16.4 minutes to total room time. We found that additional screws increased surgery time and total room time. Although we also found that additional fusion levels predicted increased surgery and total room time, Heller et al.10 found only the number of screws to be significant predictors. Taken as a whole, the number of fusion levels likely predict OR times but may not be as consistent predictors as the addition of an osteotomy and increased number of screws. Finally, although Heller et al.10 found that each additional degree of the Cobb angle of the major curve increased surgery time, we did not find the Cobb angle to be predictive of any time interval. This suggests larger Cobb angles may be associated with more time in the OR but may not be as strong a predictor as osteotomy and increased number of screws.

The results of this study can be used to improve OR efficiency through improving scheduling efficiency. Variability in procedure times leads to delayed start times, increased overtime costs, and underutilization when cases run unexpectedly short. It has been shown that surgeons are at least as good as certain commercial scheduling software at predicting case durations;25,26 however, variation is still present, with anywhere from a third to a half of cases being significantly overestimated or underestimated.25,27 A previous study showed that anesthesiologists significantly affect start times and surgeons have a significant effect on time after entering the OR.28 Promising work has already shown that creating models using factors identified as affecting variability leads to better estimates of case durations, and multiple studies have suggested that identification of patient and procedure factors, specifically, may lead to further improvement.19,26,29,30 The findings of this study, in combination with previous

work elucidating other factors, could be incorporated into a model that would improve scheduling and OR efficiency in pediatric spinal fusions. Specific to this study, surgeons and hospital systems attempting to complete two AIS PSF cases in the same room on the same day might choose to consider patient weight, planned osteotomies, and number of fusion levels when scheduling the cases.

Limitations and Future Study Perspectives One of the main limitations of this study is that the relatively small sample sizes of patients with rarer curve locations make it difficult to parse out significant differences that may exist. Furthermore, all procedures were performed at a single institution and may reflect its specific culture and framework. However, many of the factors and time points in this study are common to most institutions, making the results easily generalizable. Larger studies that include rarer curve locations would help to determine if these predict longer surgery times. Gender and age differences also require future investigation in regard to their effects on surgery time. The effect of obesity on OR times specifically during pediatric PSF would benefit from further study to corroborate the findings in this study.

CONCLUSIONS

Patient- and procedure-specific factors predict significant variation in OR times for pediatric PSF. BMI was a significant predictor of increased time in the OR. Osteotomy, number of screws used, and the number of fusion levels also were significant factors in predicting OR times. Age, gender, and ethnicity did not predict variation at any time interval. The results of this study suggest that OR efficiency can be improved through appropriate scheduling, as patient weight, planned osteotomies, and number of fusion levels should be taken into consideration when scheduling back-to-back surgeries.

The Effect of Subscapularis Management Technique on Outcomes and Complication Rates Following Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty ABSTRACT Background

Repair of the subscapularis tendon following rTSA has been shown to decrease postoperative dislocations in some studies, but the effect of repair on other outcomes has not been defined. We proposed to assess differences in postoperative pain, function, range of motion, strength, complications, and reoperations after three types of management of the subscapularis tendon—primary repair (tendon-to-tendon), transosseous repair, and no repair—at a minimum of two years of follow-up after rTSA.

Methods Review of an institutional database identified patients with primary rTSA treated by a single surgeon using the same operative technique and implant (medial glenoid with lateral humeral implant) except for subscapularis repair (tendon-to-tendon repair, trans-osseous repair, no repair). Patients with revision rTSA, anatomic TSA, hemiarthroplasty, or surgery for proximal humeral fracture, nonunion, or malunion were excluded.

Results Of 210 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 82 (39%) had primary tendon repair of the subscapularis (PTR), 88 (41.9%) had transosseous repair (TOR), and 40 (19%) did not have the subscapularis repaired (NR). Of all demographics and comorbidities measured, the only significant differences among treatments groups were in gender (54.9% female in PTR, 43.2%in TOR, and 72.5% in NR, p = 0.008) and subscapularis status before surgery (89% intact in PTR, 80.7% in TOR, and 38.5% in NR, p < 0.001). There were significantly more patients in the NR group whose operative indication was massive rotator cuff tear compared to the TO and PR groups. Similarly, there were significantly more patients whose operative indication was primary osteoarthritis in the TR group over the PR group, and the PR group over the NR group. There were no significant differences in complication rates (11% PTR, 13.6% TOR, 15% NR, p = 0.79) or reoperation rates (PTR 2.4%, TOR 2.3%, NR 5.0%, p = 0.66) or associations between subscapularis management technique and reoperation or complication rates.

Subscapularis management technique in rTSA did not affect complication or reoperation rates, and the procedure led to improvements in pain, function, range of motion, and strength in all three treatment groups. Repair of the subscapularis, regardless of technique, led to greater improvements in pain compared to no repair, although this may be partially attributable to better preoperative subscapularis status in the repair groups. Both repair techniques led to equal improvements in all measured outcomes, with the exception of primary tendon repair producing more improvement in ER strength compared to transosseous repair.

Prophylaxis for Pediatric Venous Thromboembolism: Current Status and Changes Across Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America from 2011 Introduction Pediatric venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a concern for orthopaedic surgeons. We sought to query the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) members on current VTE prophylaxis practice and compare those results with those of a previous survey (2011).

Methods A 35-question survey was emailed to all active and candidate POSNA members. The survey consisted of questions on personal and practice demographics; knowledge and implementation of various VTE prophylaxis protocols, mechanical and chemical VTE prophylaxis agents, and risk factors; and utilization of scenarios VTE prophylaxis agents for various clinical scenarios. One- and two-way frequency tables were constructed comparing results from the current survey and those of the 2011 survey.

Results Two hundred thirty-nine surveys were completed (18% respondent rate), with most respondents from an academic/university practice reporting one or two partners (>60%).

Half were in practice >15 years, and >90% reported an almost exclusive pediatric practice. One-third of the respondents reported familiarity with their institution-defined VTE prophylaxis protocol, and 20% were aware of an institutionally driven age at which all patients receive VTE prophylaxis. The most frequently recognized risk factors to guide VTE prophylaxis were oral contraceptive use, positive family history, and obesity. Respondents indicated a similar frequency of use of a VTE prophylaxis agent (either mechanical or chemical) for spinal fusion, hip reconstruction, and trauma (60% to 65%), with lower frequency for neuromuscular surgery (34%) (P < 0.001). One hundred thirty-seven respondents had a patient sustain a deep vein thrombosis, and 66 had a patient sustain a pulmonary embolism. Compared with responses from 2011, only 20 more respondents reported familiarity with their institution VTE prophylaxis protocol (75 versus 55). In 2018, aspirin was used more frequently than in 2011 (52% versus 19%; P<0.0001) and enoxaparin was used less frequently (20% versus 41%; P < 0.0001).

Discussion Over the past 7 years since the first POSNA survey on VTE prophylaxis, most POSNA members are still unaware of their institution specific VTE prophylaxis protocol. Most respondents agree that either mechanical or chemical VTE prophylaxis should be used for spinal fusion, hip reconstruction, and trauma. The use of aspirin as an agent of chemical VTE prophylaxis has increased since 2011.

Outpatient Hip Safety in an Ambulatory Surgery Center Is Independent of Approach ABSTRACT Background There are few data comparing the direct anterior approach (DAA) and posterior approach (PA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the outpatient setting. The purpose of this study is to compare 90-day complications between the 2 approaches. We hypothesized that they would be equally safe and effective.

Methods Retrospective review identified 432 THAs (346 DAA, 86 PA) performed at a single ambulatory surgery center (ASC). Outcomes compared included demographics, comorbidities, preoperative and discharge pain scores (visual analog scale [VAS]), overall time spent in the ASC, overnight stay, emergency room visits, admission, reoperation, and complications within a 90-day period.

Results There were no differences in mean preoperative VAS (DAA 4.7, PA 4.5), mean discharge VAS (DAA 0.8, PA 0.7), overall time spent in the ASC (DAA 9.0 hours, PA 9.3 hours), total number of overnight stays (DAA 0.9%, PA 1.2%), emergency room visits (DAA 1.7%, PA 1.2%), admissions (DAA 1.4%, PA 1.2%), reoperations (DAA 1.4%, PA 1.2%), or complications (DAA 3.5%, PA 2.3%).

Conclusion There were no differences in the safety outcomes, and overall there were few complications in the 90-day period, regardless of the surgeon’s preferred approach. This study indicates both DAA and PA are equally safe for THA in the outpatient setting, and the choice of surgical approach should be based on patient and surgeon preference.

Effect of Intrawound Vancomycin Powder on Postoperative Drain Output in Posterior Spinal Fusion for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Background Increased postoperative drain output after posterior spinal fusion (PSF) has been associated with increased risk of infection, but there is little information on the risk factors for increased postoperative drainage in patients with subcutaneous drains. We hypothesized that intrawound vancomycin powder is a risk factor for increased postoperative drainage.

Methods Record review identified 375 patients with PSF for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Patient demographics and intraoperative data were gathered from the operative report, anesthesia records, and intra-operative nursing records. Drain output was recorded for every post-operative day until the drain was removed.

Results The use of vancomycin powder was not associated with increased drainage and patients who received intrawound vancomycin powder had decreased postoperative drainage when compared to untreated patients (414.10 ± 370.91 mL and 622.78 ± 517.46; p≤0.001). Subfascial drains had higher drain output than suprafascial drains. Postoperative drainage from subfascial drains was positively correlated to estimated blood loss, volume of cell saver returned, units of thrombin administered, number of vertebrae fused, units of fresh frozen plasma, and units of red blood cells transfused. Only the number of vertebrae fused and volume of red blood cells transfused intraoperatively were significantly correlated with drain output in suprafascial drains.

Conclusions The use of vancomycin powder was not associated with increased drainage, and patients who received intrawound vancomycin powder had decreased postoperative drainage when compared to untreated patients. Vancomycin powder was associated with decreased drainage in subfascial drains, but not suprafascial drains.

Level III, retrospective comparative cohort study

INTRODUCTION The reported incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) after correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) ranges from 0.5% to 3%, with a much higher prevalence after correction of non-idiopathic scoliosis1–4.

Prevention of SSIs after correction of scoliosis is an important because

of significant cost and morbidity associated with multiple debridements, implant removal, and prolonged hospital stays. Practices such as the placement of subcutaneous drains5,6 and use of intrawound topical vancomycin powder7–9 have been proposed as possible mechanisms to lower SSI risk in pediatric spinal surgery, but their use varies among surgeons, with no universally accepted criteria for their use in the treatment of AIS.10–12 Although little information exists in the literature regarding risk factors for increased postoperative drainage after posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in AIS surgery, increased drainage has been suggested to increase the risk of delayed infection.5 Investigations of the use of postoperative drains in PSF for AIS have shown that patients with drains placed deep to the closed fascial layers are more likely to require transfusions postoperatively than those with suprafascial drains.6,12,13 The volume of drainage is, therefore, thought to increase with deep drains because the greatest amount of bleeding occurs in this location and subfascial drains may not allow adequate wound tamponade. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is known to decrease the rate of postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing PSF for AIS.15 The effect of vancomycin powder on postoperative drain output has not been examined in patients with PSF for AIS. Studies of vancomycin powder use in adult spinal surgery have reported similar durations of postoperative drainage in untreated patients and those treated with vancomycin powder, but the total volume drained in these studies was not reported.16,17 Seroma formation has been reported to occur in 4.4% of adult patients with hip arthroplasty and intrawound vancomycin powder,18 but is less frequent in adult spinal surgery (0.28%).19,20 We hypothesized that intrawound vancomycin powder would be associated with increased postoperative drainage.

weight(kg)/height(m2). Data on attending surgeon, number of vertebrae fused, number of osteotomies, estimated blood loss, volume of cell saver used, position of drain, units of fresh frozen plasma, units of blood, use of vancomycin powder in allograft, units of thrombin, and milligrams of TXA were gathered from the operative report, anesthesia records, and intra-operative nursing records. Drain output was recorded for every post-operative day until the drain was removed. Follow-up data included seroma or hematoma formation.

Categorical variables were compared with chisquared tests and continuous measurements were compared with t-tests. Significance was determined at p-values <0.05.

RESULTS

Of 631 patients identified, 256 were excluded because of diagnoses other than AIS, leaving 375 patients with AIS treated with PSF. Patients were excluded if they had juvenile idiopathic scoliosis with onset at less than 10 years of age, scoliosis due to a neuromuscular disease, congenital scoliosis, a history of thoracic surgery, intraspinal lesions such as syringomyelia, Chiari malformation or tethered cord, Scheuermann kyphosis, intraspinal tumors, a history of spinal trauma, or prior spinal surgery. Five patients were excluded for inadequate recording of drain output. Of the 375 patients in the study, 74% (277) were female, and 67% (252) had intrawound vancomycin powder. Subfascial drains were used in 182 patients (49%), suprafascial drains in 174 (46%), and both subfascial and suprafascial drains in 4 (1.1%). Records of 15 patients did not include drain location. All surgeries were performed

Subfascial drains had significantly higher drainage than suprafascial drains (Figure 1). The estimated blood loss, volume of cell saver returned, units of thrombin administered, number of vertebrae fused, volume of fresh frozen plasma, and units of red blood cells transfused intraoperatively were positively correlated with total drain output in patients with subfascial drains (Table 1). Total drain output in patients with suprafascial drains was positively correlated with only the number of vertebrae fused and units of red blood cells transfused intraoperatively (Table 2). Tranexamic acid (TXA) was negatively correlated with postoperative drainage in both drain positions (Table 1 and Table 2).

A chi-square test of independence showed no sig-

nificant association between intrawound vancomycin powder and hematoma/seroma formation, X2 (1, N = 375) = 0.82, p = 0.37). The frequency of hematoma or seroma formation was 2.4% (3 patients) in untreated patients and 1.2% (3 patients) in those treated with vancomycin powder. Patients with subfascial drains had more frequent hematoma/seroma formation (2.7%, 5 patients) than patients with suprafascial drains (0.57%, 1 patient), X2 (1, N = 356) = 2.5, p = .11).

Mean drain output was significantly lower in patients who received vancomycin powder compared to patients not treated with intrawound vancomycin (Figure 2). Patients who received TXA had significantly less drain output than those who did not receive TXA (Figure 3). Patients who did not receive TXA and were treated with intrawound vancomycin powder had a lower mean drain output (490.31 ± 362.39 mL) than those not treated with vancomycin powder (646.12 ± 529.00 mL), but this did not reach statistical significance (p=0.111).

TXA was associated with decreased postoperative drainage (Figure 4); however, patients with suprafascial drains who were not treated with TXA did not show a difference in drain output between vancomycin powder treatments (Table 3).

DISCUSSION

Intrawound vancomycin powder and placement of subcutaneous drains are common after PSF in AIS surgery.10,11 The benefits and risk of these interventions continue to be debated in the literature. The potential interaction between intrawound vancomycin powder and volume of drainage has not previously been described in PSF for AIS. This study hypothesized that intrawound vancomycin powder would increase the volume of postoperative drainage after PSF in AIS patients. We found, however, that the use of vancomycin powder was not associated with increased drainage and patients who received intrawound vancomycin powder had decreased postoperative drainage com-

pared to untreated patients (Figure 2). Subfascial drains had higher drain output than suprafascial drains, as has previously been suggested (Figure 1).12,13 A recent review found that total postoperative drain volume was positively correlated with the volume of cell saver returned, units of packed red blood cells (RBCs) transfused, and the number of Ponte osteotomies.14 Our study differs from this review because only 1.1% of our patients had both subfascial and suprafascial drains placed compared to 72% in their review. We also report a much lower rate of Ponte osteotomies (9.9% compared to 76%). The number of Ponte osteotomies was not correlated with postoperative drainage in patients with subfascial or suprafascial drains (Table 1 and Table 2).

Postoperative drainage from subfascial drains was found to be positively correlated with estimated blood loss, volume of cell saver returned, units of thrombin administered, units of fresh frozen plasma, and units of RBC transfused (Table 1). Only the number of vertebrae fused and volume of RBC transfused intraoperatively were significantly correlated with drain output in suprafascial drains (Table 2). Vancomycin powder was associated with decreased drainage in subfascial drains, but not suprafascial drains (Table 3). We found no difference in seroma/hematoma formation between treatment groups. Previous reports of seroma formation after the use of vancomycin powder may represent postoperative infections that are culture-negative because of high levels of vancomycin powder, as has been suggested by previous authors.20 Limitations of this study are its retrospective nature that did not allow for carefully managed control groups. The use of tranexamic acid (TXA) is known to decrease postoperative bleeding after PSF in AIS surgery and began to be used at our institution around the same time as intrawound vancomycin powder.15 Thus, we divided patients into subfascial and supra-

fascial drain groups and examined those who had received vancomycin powder but had not been treated with TXA. Those with subfascial drains treated with vancomycin powder showed a significant decrease in postoperative drainage compared those without (Figure 3). There was no difference in patients with suprafascial drains (Table 3).

Our study failed to find an association between intrawound vancomycin powder and increased postoperative drain output in patients undergoing PSF for AIS. Surprisingly, intrawound vancomycin was associated with decreased drain output.

Hunger Games: Impact of Fasting Guidelines for Orthopedic Procedure Sedation in the Pediatric Emergency Department Background Fasting guidelines for pediatric procedural sedation have historically been controversial.

Recent literature suggests that there is no difference in adverse events regardless of fasting status.

Objectives The goal of this study was to examine adverse outcomes and departmental efficiency when fasting guidelines are not considered during pediatric emergency department (PED) sedation for orthopedic interventions.

Methods Retrospective chart review identified 2674 patients who presented to a level I PED and required procedural sedation for orthopedic injuries between February 2011 and July 2018. This was a level III, retrospective cohort study. Patients were categorized into the following groups: already within American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) fasting guidelines on presentation to the PED (n = 671 [25%]), had procedural sedation not within the ASA guidelines (n = 555 [21%]), and had procedural sedation after fasting in the PED to meet ASA guidelines (n = 1448 [54%]). Primary outcomes were length of stay, time from admission to start of sedation, length of sedation, time from end of sedation to discharge, and adverse events.

Discussion There was a significant difference in the length of stay and time from admission to sedation—both approximately 80 min longer in those with procedural sedation after fasting in the PED to meet ASA guidelines (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference among groups in length of sedation or time to discharge after sedation. Adverse events were uncommon, with only 55 total adverse events (0.02%). Vomiting during the recovery phase was the most common (n = 17 [0.006%]). Other notable adverse events included nine hypoxic events (0.003%) and five seizures (0.002%). There was no significant difference in adverse events among the groups.

Conclusions Corresponding Author Rudy J. Kink, MD Department of Pediatrics University of Tennessee Health Science Center 50 N. Dunlap, Room 461R Memphis, TN 38103

Length of stay in the PED was significantly longer if ASA fasting guidelines were followed for children requiring sedation for orthopedic procedures. This is a substantial delay in a busy PED where beds and resources are at a premium. Although providing similar care with equivalent outcomes, the value of spending less time in the PED is evident. Overall, adverse events related to sedation are rare and not related to fasting guidelines.

FOR PATIENTS WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS KNEE PAIN

GO WITH A HYALURONIC ACID

DESIGNED FOR

PERFORMANCE

1,2*

GIVE THEM EUFLEXXA FOR LONG-LASTING PAIN RELIEF3† *In a well-controlled, 12-week, pivotal clinical trial, the primary endpoint measured noninferiority in safety and effectiveness between EUFLEXXA and Synvisc in 321 patients with confirmed OA of the knee. †In a 26-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial, the primary endpoint measured efficacy between EUFLEXXA and saline in 588 patients with confirmed OA of the knee.

INDICATION EUFLEXXA® [1% sodium hyaluronate] is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis [OA] of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative nonpharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics [eg, acetaminophen].

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION EUFLEXXA is contraindicated in patients who have a known hypersensitivity to hyaluronate preparations or who have knee joint infections, infections, or skin disease in the area of the injection site.

EUFLEXXA should not be administered through a needle previously used with medical solutions containing benzalkonium chloride. Do not use skin disinfectants for skin preparation that contain quaternary ammonium salts.

Do not inject intravascularly due to potential for systemic adverse events.

The safety and effectiveness of injection in conjunction with other intra-articular injectables, or into joints other than the knee have not been studied. Remove any joint effusion prior to injecting. Transient pain or swelling of the injected joint may occur after intra-articular injection with EUFLEXXA. The most common adverse events related to EUFLEXXA injections reported in 12- and 26-week clinical studies were arthralgia, back pain, pain in extremity, musculoskeletal pain, and joint swelling. In an open-label extension of the 26-week clinical study with repeat series of injections, the most common adverse events related to EUFLEXXA at Week 52 were arthralgia and joint swelling.

BRIEF SUMMARY Please consult package insert for full Prescribing Information.

INDICATION EUFLEXXA® (1% sodium hyaluronate) is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics (e.g., acetaminophen).

CONTRAINDICATIONS • Do not use EUFLEXXA® to treat patients who have a known hypersensitivity to hyaluronan preparations.

• Do not use EUFLEXXA® to treat patients with knee joint infections, infections or skin disease in the area of the injection site.

WARNINGS • Mixing of quaternary ammonium salts such as benzalkonium chloride with hyaluronan solutions results in formation of a precipitate.

EUFLEXXA® should not be administered through a needle previously used with medical solutions containing benzalkonium chloride. Do not use disinfectants for skin preparation that contain quaternary ammonium salts.

• Do not inject intravascularly because intravascular injection may cause systemic adverse events.

PRECAUTIONS General • Patients having repeated exposure to EUFLEXXA® have the potential for an immune response; however, this has not been assessed in humans.

• Safety and effectiveness of injection in conjunction with other intra-articular injectables, or into joints other than the knee has not been established.

• Remove any joint effusion before injecting.

• Transient pain or swelling of the injected joint may occur after intra-articular injection with EUFLEXXA®.

• Do not use after expiration date.

• Protect from light.

• Do not re-use—dispose of the syringe after use.

• Do not use if the blister package is opened or damaged.

Information for Patients • Transient pain and/or swelling of the injected joint may occur after intra-articular injection of EUFLEXXA®.

• As with any invasive joint procedure, it is recommended that the patient avoid any strenuous activities or prolonged (i.e., more than 1 hour) weight-bearing activities such as jogging or tennis within 48 hours following intra-articular injection.

• The safety of repeated treatment cycles of EUFLEXXA® has been established up to 1 year.

Use in Specific Populations • Pregnancy: The safety and effectiveness of EUFLEXXA® have not been established in pregnant women.

• Nursing Mothers: It is not known if EUFLEXXA® is excreted in human milk. The safety and effectiveness of EUFLEXXA® have not been established in lactating women.

• Children: The safety and effectiveness of EUFLEXXA® have not been demonstrated in children.

ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse event information regarding the use of EUFLEXXA® as a treatment for pain in OA of the knee was available from two sources; a 12 week multicenter clinical trial conducted in Germany, and a 26 week multicenter trial conducted in the U.S. Report Device-Related Adverse Events The most common adverse events related to EUFLEXXA® injections reported in the clinical studies are arthralgia, back pain, pain in extremity, musculoskeletal pain and joint swelling.

Potential Adverse Events Potential adverse events that may occur in association with intra-articular injections are arthralgia, joint swelling, joint effusion, injection site pain and arthritis.

12 Week Multicenter Clinical Study In a prospective randomized, double blinded, active control (commercially available hyaluronan product) study conducted at 10 centers. Three hundred twenty-one patients were randomized into groups of equal size to receive either EUFLEXXA® (n=160) or the active control (n=161). A total of 119 patients reported 196 adverse events; this number represents 54 (33.8%) of the EUFLEXXA® group and 65 (44.4%) of the active control group. There were no deaths reported during the study. Incidences of each event were similar for both groups, except for knee joint effusion, which was reported by 9 patients in the active control group and one patient in the EUFLEXXA® treatment group. A total of 160 patients received 478 injections of EUFLEXXA®. There were 27 reported adverse events considered to be related to EUFLEXXA® injections: arthralgia – 11 (6.9%); back pain – 1 (0.63%); blood pressure increase – 3 (1.88%); joint effusion – 1 (0.63%); joint swelling – 3 (1.88%); nausea – 1 (0.63%); paresthesia – 2 (1.25%); feeling of sickness of injection – 3 (1.88%); skin irritation – 1 (0.63%); tenderness in study knee – 1 (0.63%). Four adverse events were reported for the EUFLEXXA® group that the relationship to treatment was considered to be unknown: fatigue – 3 (1.88%); nausea – 1 (0.63%).

26 Week Multicenter Study In a multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of EUFLEXXA® as compared with saline, in subjects with chronic osteoarthritis of the knee followed by an open labeled safety extension study. The intervention consisted of three (3) weekly injections of study device into the target knee, with scheduled follow-up evaluations during the 26 weeks following the first injection. In the extension phase subjects received three (3) weekly injections of EUFLEXXA® into the target knee with follow-up evaluation up to 52 weeks. Twenty-three serious TEAEs were reported in 19 (3.2%) subjects during the study: 10 (3.4%) subjects in the EUFLEXXA® group and 9 (3.1%) subjects in the saline group. One of these events was considered related to the study device (increased redness of the left knee joint in the EUFLEXXA® group). Eight (1.4%) subjects had 9 TEAEs leading to discontinuation: 3 (1.0%) subjects in the EUFLEXXA® group and 5 (1.7%) subjects in the saline group. Twelve (2.8%) subjects reported 20 TEAEs during the extension phase. Six of these subjects had received EUFLEXXA® during the core study. None of these serious TEAEs was considered related to the study device, and all resolved. Two (0.5%) subjects has TEAEs leading to discontinuation from the study, one of whom received EUFLEXXA® during the core study; both subjects had events that were considered unrelated to study device.

2021 ORTHOPAEDIC FELLOWS TIMOTHY J. ASHWORTH, MD  TRAUMA FELLOW Hometown: Boise, Idaho Undergraduate Institution: Brigham Young University Medical School: Case Western Reserve University Orthopaedic Residency: University of North Carolina Dr. Ashworth is the oldest of seven brothers, and is the first in his family to pursue a medical career.

Dr. Ashworth and his wife Candilyn met on a ropes course in the Utah mountains, and were married in 2009. Candilyn is a pianist and stay-at-home mom. They have three children - Max (10 years old), Jake (7 years old), and Bradley (one year old).

When asked why he chose medicine as a career: I wanted a challenging profession where I could help people.

And why he chose orthopaedics as a specialty: My undergrad was in mechanical engineering and it was a perfect fit to be able to continue using those skills and principles. I also liked the hands-on nature of the job.

Research Activities: Dr. Ashworth prepared study design for a collaborative study with Brigham Young University evaluating the resiliency of a novel antimicrobial carbon nanotube coating on an orthopaedic implant and is working on a retrospective chart review study correlating the incidence of certain complications following surgical fixation of tibial pilon fractures with pre-existing patient characteristics.

Plans After Campbell: Dr. Ashworth will be joining an orthopaedic trauma practice in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Dr. Ashworth adds: Thank you to Drs. Weinlein, Rudloff, Beebe and Cosgrove for all the fantastic training, and to all the residents who help to make the fellow experience here second to none!

AARON M. BAESSLER, MD  SPORTS MEDICINE FELLOW Hometown: Bartlett, Illinois Undergraduate Institution: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Medical School: Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University Orthopaedic Residency: Indiana University School of Medicine Dr. Baessler is the youngest of three brothers, and is the first in his family to pursue a medical career.

Dr. Baessler met his wife Lindsey on Tinder, and they were married in 2019. Lindsey is an RN. When asked why he chose medicine as a career: It seemed like the right thing to do.

And why he chose orthopaedics as a specialty: “Medicine” wasn’t the right thing to do. I liked fixing things. Nothing is more complex than the musculoskeletal system, and it needs to be fixed at some point in nearly every human’s lifetime.

Research Activities: Dr. Baessler prepared five manuscripts, all under review, for submission to peer-reviewed journals, and led the design on two new study protocols currently in progress. He assisted with data collection on three studies in progress and worked with residents, medical students, and Foundation staff to assist in study procedure implementation.

Dr. Baessler also met with statistics resources to aid in data analysis of research project data.

Plans After Campbell: Dr. Baessler will be joining a shoulder/sports practice in Indianapolis.

Dr. Baessler adds: Thank you for having me here. Best year I’ve had - I have no doubt that fellowship has prepared me.

The residents are well-trained and exceptional. The staff I’ve worked with are the best I’ve come across. Campbell Clinic has a reputation that is unrivaled, and I’ve seen it first hand.
