The purpose of this study was to determine the number and different types of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) positions within orthopaedic surgery residency programs in the United States

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant cause of mortality in patients with cancer. The risk of major bleeding of VTE with unfractionated heparin (UFH) is less than 3%, however, in patients with cancer, this risk is higher. We present a complex decision-making case of a colon cancer patient treated for pulmonary embolism, who developed an intracerebellar hemorrhage.

We report a case of a 55-year-old Hispanic, veteran male with a history of mesenteric, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, status post-chemotherapy and post-surgical biopsy. The patient appeared to be in remission for 7 months, during which he stayed compliant with post-procedural follow-up care and lymphoma surveillance.

The purpose of this study is to examine existing literature for evidence of efficacy and outcomes of primary cemented THA in the elderly.

Common symptoms of hiatal hernia include epigastric or substernal pain or postprandial fullness, nausea, retching and acid reflux. The incidence of hiatal hernia presenting with only symptoms of dyspnea and orthopnea is reported to be unusual and is sparsely reported in the literature. Here we present one such case in which dyspnea was initially attributed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the diagnosis was revised during readmission.

Methotrexate (MTX) is an inhibitor of cellular proliferation and is used in the treatment of several rheumatic, auto-immune, malignant conditions at variable doses. In comparison to high doses mainly used for malignancies, when given at the standard 7.5-25 mg weekly dose for RA, adverse drug reactions are rare.

Tissue expansion/implant-based breast reconstruction is the most common breast reconstructive strategy in the United States accounting for approximately 65% of all breast reconstructions. While the procedure is generally regarded as safe, there are several associated complications including cellulitis, abscess, hematoma, and seroma.

Medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction is performed for high grade MCL injuries with valgus instability or after failed nonoperative treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes following MCL reconstruction with autograft versus allograft.

A 71-year-old female with a medical history of hypertension presented to the emergency department with typical chest pain. Vitals signs included regular tachycardia of 108beats/minute, blood pressure of 140/60 mmHg, respiratory rate of 18 breaths/minute, and oxygen saturation of 97% on room air.

Applying sunscreen prior to outdoor daytime activities has been shown to prevent skin damage by protecting against UV radiation damage. Unfortunately, it has been shown that a wide variety of sunscreen active ingredients accumulate beyond the FDA’s .5 ng/ml limit within human plasma.
