Cortical Venting: A Simple Surgical Adjunct for the Treatment of Long Bone Nonunion Open
Nonunions are a vexing problem for the orthopedic surgeon. Herein, we describe an adjunct to the standard exchange nailing procedure adapted from an established limb lengthening technique in which cortical vents are drilled adjacent to the…

Poster 144: Decreased Failure Rate Following Shoulder Stabilization Procedures in the Military With Use of Suture Tape Open
Objectives: In biomechanical studies, suture tapes have demonstrated improved load to failure and tissue tear-through for labral repair compared to suture, suggesting that a tape construct in labral repair may reduce failure rates. However…

Pushing the envelope Open
Introduction Primary closure of large flap donor sites is a well-recognized challenge for reconstructive surgeons. At our institution, we have implemented a novel donor site closure strategy that enables single stage primary closure of lar…

Beyond Limb Salvage: Limb Restoration Efforts Following Remote Combat-Related Extremity Injuries Optimize Outcomes and Support Sustained Surgical Readiness Open
Introduction As the combat operational tempo of the military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan has declined over the last decade, there has been a decrease in the number of patients requiring acute limb salvage. In their place, a growing p…

Institutional Experience and Orthoplastic Collaboration Associated with Improved Flap-based Limb Salvage Outcomes Open
Background Flap-based limb salvage surgery balances the morbidity and complexity of soft tissue transfer against the potential benefit of preserving a functional limb when faced with a traumatized extremity with composite tissue injury. Th…

The Incidence of Posterior and Combined AP Shoulder Instability Treatment with Surgical Stabilization Is Higher in an Active Military Population than in the General Population: Findings from the US Naval Academy Open
Background Anterior instability has consistently been shown to be the most common type of glenohumeral instability. Recent studies have demonstrated a higher percentage of posterior and combined (anterior and posterior) instability than ha…

The Incidence, Risk Factors, and Complications Associated With Surgical Delay in Multilevel Fusion for Adult Spinal Deformity Open
Study Design: Retrospective database review. Objectives: The incidence and risk factors for surgical delay of multilevel spine fusion for adult spinal deformity (ASD), and the complications corresponding therewith, remain unknown. The obje…

Orthopaedic osseointegration: Implantology and future directions Open
Osseointegration (OI) is the direct anchorage of a metal implant into bone, allowing for the connection of an external prosthesis to the skeleton. Osseointegration was first discovered in the 1960s based on the microscopic analysis of tita…

Managing Complex Peripheral Nerve Injuries Within the Military Health System: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Treatment, Education, and Research at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Open
Introduction Peripheral nerve injuries are a leading cause of disability within the Military Health System (MHS) patient population. Many peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are amenable to therapeutic intervention but require a timely diagno…

Preserved Sensation of the Palmar Radial Hand by the Superficial Branch of the Radial Nerve Following Median Nerve Laceration Open
Multiple variations of sensory innervation patterns in the hand exist and are well-recognized in the literature. These aberrant patterns can lead to diagnostic challenges and complicate the treatment of nerve-injured patients. Therefore, i…

Low Revision Rates at 10 years for Metal on Metal Hip Implants in a Military Population Open
Introduction Prior to being largely abandoned due to unacceptably high failure rates and the adverse physiologic reactions to metal ions, metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hip resurfacing (HR) were in widespread use thr…
