AB The orthopaedic surgery residency selection process has grown more competitive over recent years, with programs receiving an unprecedented number of applications. As an effort to target applications to programs of interest, the American Orthopaedic Association has announced the introduction of a formal preference-signaling program into the 2022 to 2023 orthopaedic surgery residency selection cycle.

Progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) is frequently associated with a gastrocnemius contracture. Surgical treatment of PCFD often includes a gastrocnemius recession in addition to other corrective procedures, which typically requires a period of restricted weight bearing postoperatively.

Previous studies have highlighted the association between insurance status and poor outcomes after surgical treatment of sarcomas in the United States. 1 - 3 It is unclear how much of this disparity is mediated by confounding factors such as medical comorbidities and socioeconomic status and how much can be explained by barriers to care caused by insurance status.

Patellar and quadriceps tendon ruptures after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have historically poor outcomes. To date, there is no consensus for optimal treatment. The purpose of this study is to directly compare clinical outcomes and survivorship between allograft versus synthetic mesh for reconstruction of native extensor mechanism (EM) rupture after TKA.

Each year, over 300,000 people older than 65 years are hospitalized for hip fractures. Given the notable morbidity and mortality faced by elderly patients in the postinjury period, recommendations have been put forth for integrating palliative and, when needed, hospice care to improve patients' quality of life.

Osteoporosis affects nearly 200 million individuals worldwide. Given this notable disease burden, there have been increased efforts to investigate complications in patients with osteoporosis undergoing cervical fusion (CF). However, there are limited data regarding long-term outcomes in osteoporotic patients in the setting of >=4-level cervical fusion.
