How Can the Environmental Impact of Orthopaedic Surgery Be Measured and Reduced? Using Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction as a Test Case Open
Background The healthcare sector in the United States has increased its greenhouse gas emissions by 6% since 2010 and today has the highest per capita greenhouse gas emissions globally. Assessing the environmental impact and material use t…
Poster 105: MRI Demonstrates Similar Diagnostic Value to MR Arthrogram for Determining Labral Tear Extent up to 2 Weeks Following Shoulder Dislocation Open
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the comparative accuracy and precision of routine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) versus magnetic resonance (MR) arthrogram in measuring labral tear size as function of time from shoulder…
Outcomes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Quadriceps Tendon in Adolescent Athletes at Mean Follow-up of 4 Years Open
Background: Despite increasing use of quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR), limited data exist regarding its outcomes in high-risk adolescent athletes. Purpose: To (1) report the outcom…
Factors Associated With Knee Extension Strength Symmetry After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Open
Background: Diminished postoperative knee extension strength may occur after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft. Factors influencing the restoration of knee extensor strength after ACLR w…
Poster 170: First-Time Anterior Shoulder Instability Events in Subluxators versus Dislocators: A Comparison of Clinical Presentation, Extent of Injury, and Revision Open
Objectives: The objective of this study was to characterize epidemiology and postoperative outcomes in subluxators and dislocators after a first-time anterior instability (FTAI) event. We hypothesized that subluxators would have a milder c…
Poster 197: Thresholds for Preoperative Opioid Use in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair that Negatively Influence Postoperative Clinical Outcomes Open
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate preoperative opioid use along a spectrum to better understand the role that preoperative opioid use has on postoperative outcomes. Methods: A consecutive series of patients undergoing…
Poster 334: Failure Rates and Complications with Multiple-Revision ACL Reconstruction: Don’t Forget the Over-The-Top Technique Open
Objectives: Multiple-revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) presents several technical challenges, often due to residual hardware, tunnel widening, or malposition. The aim of this study was to compare complication rates…
Poster 273: Vascularity Assessment of Quadriceps Tendon Donor Site After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Ultrasound with Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) Open
Objectives: Quadriceps tendon (QT) is an increasingly popular graft choice for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) 1 . Evaluation of vascularity using ultrasound has been performed to assess the healing response of tendons 2 …
Poster 192: Depressive and Anxiety Disorders Increase Risk for Continued Biceps Pain Following Arthroscopic Biceps Tenodesis Open
Objectives: Arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis (ASPBT) may result in postoperative biceps pain. Previous studies have revealed associations between demographic or intraoperative factors and shoulder pain, but with conflicting resu…
Poster 385: Discrepancies Exist Between Intraoperative and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assessments of Partial Pectoralis Major Tears Open
Objectives: Existing literature regarding pectoralis major tear location demonstrating tendinous insertion on the humerus tears has not been substantially updated in 20 years or is based on small sample sizes. While intraoperative confirma…
Poster 147: Identifying Opportunities to Improve the Environmental Sustainability of ACL Reconstruction: A Life Cycle Analysis Open
Objectives: Environmental sustainability is a topic of increasing recognition within the field of orthopaedic surgery. To decrease the carbon footprint of orthopaedic procedures, the baseline carbon footprint of said procedures must be cal…
Poster 249: Low Failure Rate in a Young Cohort of Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Quadriceps Tendon is Independent of Graft Fixation Methods Open
Objectives: To determine failure and clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with quadriceps tendon in a young cohort of patients, and, secondarily, determine if method of femoral and tibial fixation of the gr…
Poster 322: Blood Flow Restriction after ACL Reconstruction Does Not Accelerate Quadriceps Strengthening Open
Objectives: The use of blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy has gained popularity as an adjunct rehabilitation technique following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The purpose of this study was to longitudinally evaluate t…
Self-Reported Outcomes in Early Postoperative Management After Shoulder Surgery Using a Home-Based Strengthening and Stabilization System With Telehealth Open
Background: Multiple rehabilitation protocols after shoulder surgery have been proposed. The coronavirus pandemic adds an extra layer of complexity to postoperative rehabilitation after shoulder surgery. Hypothesis: The combined use of a h…
Poster 152: Arthroscopic Bankart Repair Following a Second Dislocation Results in Increased Failure Rates Compared to Immediate Repair After Following a Traumatic First Time Dislocation Open
Objectives: Many surgeons will consider nonoperative treatment following a 1 st time dislocation and will consider operative management if a second instability event occurs particularly for the in season athlete. The objective of this stud…
Poster 140: Shoulder Strengthening and Stabilization Systems – A Viable Option for Early Passive Range of Motion after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Open
Objectives: Post-operative rehabilitation following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is crucial for optimal outcomes. Early post-operative passive range of motion (PROM) is encouraged by some surgeons to minimize the development of …
Poster 213: Increased Vascularity might Peak at 3 to 6 Months Postoperatively on the Reconstructed Anterior Cruciate Ligament Assessed with Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) Open
Objectives: The most crucial stage of graft maturation following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been reported as the stage of revascularization. Since the strength of the reconstructed graft can be decreased during the…
