Everything Achilles: Knowledge Update and Current Concepts in Management: AAOS Exhibit Selection
Abstract:
Achilles tendon pathology is common and affects athletes and nonathletes alike. The cause is multifactorial and controversial, involving biological, anatomical, and mechanical factors. A variety of conditions characterized by Achilles tendon inflammation and/or degeneration can be clinically and histologically differentiated. These include insertional Achilles tendinopathy, retrocalcaneal bursitis, Achilles paratenonitis, Achilles tendinosis, and Achilles paratenonitis with tendinosis. The mainstay of treatment for all of these diagnoses is nonoperative. There is a large body of evidence addressing treatment of a...

Orthopaedic Surgeons' View on Strategies for Improving Patient Safety
Conclusions:
We found a high problematic response rate concerning the perceived safety climate among surgeons, but there was a high rate of enthusiasm for means of improving safety. Knowledge of the variation in perceived safety and the enthusiasm for strategies to improve safety among surgeons can serve as a starting point for cultural change.

Management of End-Stage Ankle Arthritis: Cost-Utility Analysis Using Direct and Indirect Costs
Conclusions:
Compared with nonoperative treatment for the management of end-stage ankle arthritis, total ankle replacement is preferred over ankle fusion; total ankle replacement is cost-saving when indirect costs are considered and demonstrates increasing cost-effectiveness in younger patients. As indications for and utilization of total ankle replacement increase, continued research is needed to define appropriate subgroups of patients who would likely derive the greatest clinical benefit from that procedure.

Early Versus Late Culture Growth of Propionibacterium acnes in Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty
Conclusions:
P. acnes is the most commonly identified organism following revision shoulder arthroplasty. The proportion of positive cultures and the timing of culture growth may help to distinguish a true-positive from a false-positive culture result.
Level of Evidence:

Does Zoledronate Prevent Femoral Head Collapse from Osteonecrosis?: A Prospective, Randomized, Open-Label, Multicenter Study
Conclusions:
Zoledronate for Steinberg stage-I or II osteonecrosis of the femoral head, with a medium to large necrotic area, did not prevent the collapse of the femoral head or reduce the need for total hip arthroplasty.

Therapeutic Level I. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence. (Source: The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery)

In-Home Telerehabilitation Compared with Face-to-Face Rehabilitation After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Noninferiority Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions:
Our results demonstrated the noninferiority of in-home telerehabilitation and support its use as an effective alternative to face-to-face service delivery after hospital discharge of patients following a total knee arthroplasty.

Assessing Arthroscopic Skills Using Wireless Elbow-Worn Motion Sensors
Conclusions:
A new wireless assessment of surgical performance system for objective assessment of surgical skills has proven valid for assessing arthroscopic skills. The elbow-worn sensors were shown to achieve an accurate assessment of surgical dexterity and performance.
Clinical Relevance:
The validation of an entirely objective assessment of arthroscopic skill with wireless elbow-worn motion sensors introduces, for the first time, a feasible assessment system for the live operating theater with the added potential to be applied to other surgical and interventional specialties.

Does a Directive to an Internet Site Enhance the Doctor-Patient Interaction?: A Prospective Randomized Study for Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Conclusions:
Whether the patient was given a handout or had visited the ASSH or other Internet web sites, the knowledge and satisfaction scores for all patients were similar. Since the physician was the common denominator in both groups, the results indicate that the patient-physician relationship may be more valuable than the Internet in providing patient education.
Clinical Relevance:
Effective communication between patients and practitioners is at the cornerstone of delivering excellent care and building trusting relationships. This study examines whether reliable Internet information should be embraced as a tool to en...

Heterotopic Ossification: Basic-Science Principles and Clinical Correlates
Heterotopic ossification occurs most commonly after joint arthroplasty, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, blast trauma, elbow and acetabular fractures, and thermal injury.
The conversion of progenitor cells to osteogenic precursor cells as a result of cell-mediated interactions with the local tissue environment is affected by oxygen tension, pH, availability of micronutrients, and mechanical stimuli, and leads to heterotopic ossification.
Radiation and certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications are important methods of prophylaxis against heterotopic ossification.
Well-planned surgical excision can imp...
