AB Central cord syndrome (CCS) is an incomplete spinal cord injury that consists of both sensory and motor changes of the upper and lower extremities. CCS most commonly occurs after trauma to the cervical spine leading to acute neurological changes. Despite being the most common incomplete spinal cord injury with the best outcomes, optimal treatment remains controversial.

AB Multiligamentous knee injuries (MLKIs) are devastating injuries. The energy and severity of these injuries encompass a wide range from low-energy single-joint mechanisms to high-energy polytrauma settings. Currently, there is no consensus on surgical treatment approach, surgical timing, or the return to preinjury activity levels after injury.

AB Connolly recognized as early as 1998 that a displaced ankle fracture in a neuropathic diabetic puts that patient at risk for an amputation. It is well appreciated that the risk of a poor clinical outcome secondary to failure of the surgical construct, deep wound infection and osteomyelitis or a combination of both, is greatly increased in neuropathic diabetic patients, that is, those that are insensate to the Semmes-Weinstein 5.07 (10 g) monofilament, as compared with sensate diabetics or similar non-diabetic patients. Despite this understanding, there is little objective evidence to guide treatment. The goal of this monograph is to provide the practicing Orthopaedic Surgeon the best consensus expert opinion and the most current new innovations to optimize clinical outcomes and avoid complications in this highly co-morbid patient cohort.

AB Hip and groin injuries are common in ballet dancers, who often begin sport-specific training at a young age. The unique demands of ballet include extreme range of motion, with an emphasis on external rotation and abduction. This creates a distinctive constellation of hip symptoms and pathology in this cohort, which may differ from other flexibility sports.

AB Park-Harris lines are radiographically apparent linear opacities that occur in a metaphyseal bone in proximity to a physis. Lines correspond to a temporary interruption of the normally ossifying physis with a sclerotic line corresponding to transversely oriented trabeculae.

AB Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a congenital disease which is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene on chromosome 17, resulting in an altered function of the neurofibromin protein. Owing to the ubiquitous expression of this protein, this syndrome is associated with pathology in many organ systems of the body, especially the central and peripheral nervous, musculoskeletal, and integumentary systems. This review outlines the common sequelae related to a diagnosis of NF1 and the common treatment approach to each. (C) 2022 by American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

AB Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare complication, readmission, mortality, and cancellation rates between patients who had either an in-person or telemedicine preoperative cardiac clearance visit before spine surgery.

In the treatment of native shoulder septic arthritis, the optimal irrigation and debridement modality-arthroscopic versus open-is a matter of controversy. We aim to compare revision-free survival (RFS), complications, and resource utilization between these approaches.

Primary hip and knee arthroplasty represent two of the most successful orthopaedic surgical interventions in the past century. Similarly, lumbar fusion (LF) remains a valuable, evidence-based option to relieve pain and disability related to spinal degenerative conditions.
