Timing of surgery for terrible triad of the shoulder: a systematic review Open
The terrible triad of the shoulder (STT) is an injury involving anterior shoulder dislocation, rotator cuff tear, and nerve injury. The optimal timing for rotator cuff repair (RCR) remains controversial, with some favoring early interventi…

Early referral to multidisciplinary specialty centers to optimize outcomes in children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy Open
Aim To demonstrate the trajectory of long‐term recovery of upper‐extremity movement and determine optimal timing of evaluation at multidisciplinary specialty centers in children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP). Method All childr…

Supraclavicular approach for neonatal brachial plexus palsy Open
Neonatal brachial plexus palsy describes injury to the brachial plexus in the perinatal period, resulting in motor and sensory deficits of the upper arm. Nerve reconstruction, including graft repair and nerve transfers, can be used to rest…

View article: The impact of presurgical comorbidities on discharge disposition and length of hospitalization following craniotomy for brain tumor
The impact of presurgical comorbidities on discharge disposition and length of hospitalization following craniotomy for brain tumor Open
In this study, we used ML ensembles to identify preoperative comorbidities that increased the risk of nonhome discharge and extended LOS following craniotomy for brain tumor. Recognizing these risk factors for poor postsurgical outcomes ca…
