RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Leaving the patella unresurfaced in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has increased significantly over the past decade in the United States, likely due to modern patella-friendly implants, complications with resurfacing, and the knowledge that historical studies were scientifically confounded. This study evaluated revision-free survivorship out to 8.5 years in a cohort of contemporary primary TKAs with patella-friendly femoral components and unresurfaced patellae. METHODS: A total of 1,053 consecutive primary TKAs with unresurfaced patellae were retrospectively reviewed. A selective patellar nonresurfacing protocol was used for all cases. Kaplan-Meier survivorship estimates were calculated based on patellar revision and the latest follow-up. An aggressive lateral patellar facetectomy was performed in 78% (823 of 1,053) of cases. The cohort was 62% women and 43% American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification I or II with a mean age and body mass index of 65 years (range, 35 to 94) and 35 kg/m2 (range, 18 to 65), respectively. RESULTS: A total of 4 (0.4%, 4 of 1,053) unresurfaced patellae were revised. Three were resurfaced as part of other procedures: 2 for global instability and one for aseptic loosening at a mean of 1.6 years; and one patella was resurfaced by an outside surgeon for unexplained pain. The all-cause revision-free survivorship estimate specifically related to the patella was 98.9% (95% confidence interval, 98 to 100) out to 8.5 years. No significant difference in survivorship was related to patellae with or without a lateral patellar facetectomy (99.5 versus 98.1%, P ≥ .191); however, 3 of 4 patellar revisions occurred in TKAs without a lateral patellar facetectomy (P = .035). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study demonstrate excellent revision-free survivorship related to unresurfaced patellae, particularly when a lateral facetectomy was performed. These early to midterm results using modern patella-friendly femoral components are promising and comparable to resurfaced patellae in the literature. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

BACKGROUND: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is increasingly used as a treatment modality for various pathologies. The purpose of this review is to identify preoperative risk factors associated with loss of internal rotation (IR) after RTSA. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and Scopus were queried. The inclusion criteria were as follows: articles in English language, minimum 1-year follow-up postoperatively, study published after 2012, a minimum of 10 patients in a series, RTSA surgery for any indication, and explicitly reported IR. The exclusion criteria were as follows: articles whose full text was unavailable or that were unable to be translated to English language, a follow-up of less than 1 year, case reports or series of less than 10 cases, review articles, studies in which tendon transfers were performed at the time of surgery, procedures that were not RTSA, and studies in which the range of motion in IR was not reported. RESULTS: The search yielded 3792 titles, and 1497 duplicate records were removed before screening. Ultimately, 16 studies met the inclusion criteria with a total of 5124 patients who underwent RTSA. Three studies found that poor preoperative functional IR served as a significant risk factor for poor postoperative IR. Eight studies addressed the impact of subscapularis, with 4 reporting no difference in IR based on subscapularis repair and 4 reporting significant improvements with subscapularis repair. Among studies with sufficient power, BMI was found to be inversely correlated with degree of IR after RTSA. Preoperative opioid use was found to negatively affect IR. Other studies showed that glenoid retroversion, component lateralization, and individualized component positioning affected postoperative IR. CONCLUSIONS: This study found that preoperative IR, individualized implant version, preoperative opioid use, increased body mass index and increased glenoid lateralization were all found to have a significant impact on IR after RTSA. Studies that analyzed the impact of subscapularis repair reported conflicting results.

Trauma during pregnancy is the leading cause of non-pregnancy-related maternal deaths, with some due to injuries from firearms. It was the purpose of this study to characterize the patterns and presentations of firearm-associated injuries in pregnant women using a national emergency department visit database. Data from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research Firearm Injury Surveillance Study 1993-2020 were utilized. The data include age, sex, race, type of firearm, perpetrator of injury, intent of injury (unintentional, assault, suicide, or law enforcement), anatomic location of the injury, incident locale, disposition from the emergency department (ED), and whether the patient was shot or not with the firearm. Of the 3.36 million ED visits over this time span for firearm injuries, 4410 were pregnant women. The mean age of the pregnant cohort was 23.6 years, with more Hispanic and fewer White women in the pregnant group compared to the non-pregnant cohort. Pregnant women were more likely to experience an injury involving the lower trunk and had a higher percentage of fatalities and hospital admissions compared to the non-pregnant cohort. Fetal demise occurred in at least 70% of cases. Nearly one half of the assaults (44%) occurred on Saturdays and Sundays. As the cause of these injuries is complex, prevention will require input from multiple sources, including health care providers, social agencies, government agencies, elected officials, and law enforcement.
RESUMO
The purpose of this study was to investigate fracture patterns due to pediatric firearm injuries. The data used was from the US Firearm Injury Surveillance Study 1993-2019. Over these 27 years, there were 19,033 children with fractures due to firearm activity with an average age of 12.2 years; 85.2% were boys and the firearm was a powder type in 64.7%. The finger was the most common fracture location, while the tibia/fibula was the most common location for those admitted to the hospital. Children ≤ 5 years of age sustained more skull/face fractures; most spine fractures occurred in the 11-15-year age group. The injury was self-inflicted in 65.2% of the non-powder and 30.6% of the powder group. The injury intent was an assault in 50.0% of the powder and 3.7% of the non-powder firearm group. Powder firearms accounted for the majority of the fractures in the ≤5 and 11-15 year-olds, non-powder firearms accounted for the majority of the fractures in the 6-10 year-olds. Injuries occurring at home decreased with increasing age; there was an increase in hospital admissions over time. In conclusion, our findings support the need for safe storage of firearms in the home away from children. This data will be helpful to assess any changes in prevalence or demographics with future firearm legislation or other prevention programs. The increasing acuity of firearm-associated injuries seen in this study is detrimental to the child, impacts familial wellbeing, and results in significant financial costs to society.
RESUMO
Many students self-report that they are "night owls," which can result from neurodevelopmental delays in the circadian timing system. However, whether an individual considers themselves to be an evening-type versus a morning-type (self-reported chronotype) may also be influenced by academic demands (e.g. class start times, course load) and behavioral habits (e.g. bedtime social media use, late caffeine consumption, daytime napping). If so, then chronotype should be malleable. We surveyed 858 undergraduate students enrolled in demanding science courses at up to three time points. The survey assessed morning/evening chronotype, global sleep quality, academics, and behavioral habits. Evening and morning-type students showed similar demographics, stress levels, and academic demands. At baseline measurements, relative to morning-types, evening-types showed significantly worse sleep quality and duration as well as 22% greater bedtime social media usage, 27% greater daytime napping duration, and 46% greater likelihood of consuming caffeine after 5pm. These behavioral habits partially mediated the effects of self-reported chronotype on sleep quality/duration, even after controlling for demographic factors. Interestingly, 54 students reported switching from being at least moderate evening-types at baseline to being at least moderate morning-types later in the semester and 56 students showed the reverse pattern (6.3% of students switched from "definitely" one chronotype to the other chronotype). Evening-to-morning "chrono-switchers" consumed less caffeine after 5pm and showed significantly better sleep quantity/quality at the later timepoint. Thus, some students may consider themselves to be night owls in part because they consume caffeine later, take more daytime naps, or use more social media at bedtime. Experimental work is needed to determine whether nudging night owls to behave like morning larks results in better sleep health or academic achievement.

BACKGROUND: Childhood obesity is increased in food deserts, a community with little to no access to healthy food. As obesity is associated with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), it was the purpose of this study to analyze the prevalence of SCFE patients by food desert location and its interaction with rural/urban location. METHODS: A retrospective review of all consecutive patients with idiopathic SCFE treated at our institution over 11 years was performed. From the patient's address, the US Census Bureau tract in which the patient resided was determined. Using the census tract code, it was ascertained if the patient lived in a food desert and urban or rural location. Standard statistical analyses were performed; a P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: There were 177 SCFE patients: 79 girls, 98 boys, 106, White, and 69 nonWhite. The average age at diagnosis was 12.1±1.7 years, the average symptom duration 4.1±5.1 months, and the average weight percentile 94±10. Of these 177 patients, 26.5% lived in a food desert, which was higher than the expected 17.5% ( P =0.023). Those living in a food desert were more commonly nonWhite (60% vs. 32%, P =0.0014). There were 25% from rural areas and 75% from urban areas. No rural SCFE patients lived in food deserts whereas 34% of urban patients lived in food deserts. The average poverty rate of the SCFE patient census tracts was 19%, no greater than the expected 15% ( P =0.32). SCFE patients living in rural census tracts had a lower poverty rate ( P <10 -6 ). CONCLUSIONS: There is a correlation with the prevalence of SCFE patients by residence in a "food desert", but not with rural/urban locale or poverty status in Indiana. Further research will be needed to see if these findings apply to other states within the United States and other parts of the world. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
