**New Research Alert: Systematic Review and Meta Analysis on Minimally Invasive Surgery for Bunionette (Tailor's Bunion) Deformity** I'm excited to share our recent systematic review, published in Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics, and presented at the recent American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society meeting in Vancouver, exploring the outcomes of percutaneous or minimally invasive techniques for the correction of bunionette deformity. Key findings: 🔹 Study Overview: Analyzed 18 studies, covering 580 patients (714 feet), focusing on clinical and radiographic outcomes. 🔹 Techniques: Most studies used unfixed distal osteotomies, showing significant improvement in radiographic angles and patient-reported outcomes. 🔹 Complication Rates: Ranged from 0% to 21.4%, with no major complications related to nonunion (0%-5.6%). The most common complication was hypertrophic callus, which resolved over time without further intervention. 🔹 Clinical Outcomes: Significant improvements in pain scores (VAS) and functional outcomes (AOFAS score). 🔹 Conclusion: Percutaneous techniques are generally safe, improving patient outcomes and radiographic alignment with fewer complications compared to open surgery. However, further comparative studies are needed. Many thanks to my coauthors: Yousif AlKhalfan, Peter Lam, and Robbie Ray.

Great research on the implications of non surgical management of rotator cuff tears.

🌟 ** My Exciting New Manuscript on Knee Surgery Outcomes!** 🌟 I am thrilled to share my latest manuscript findings on the impact of preoperative vagal activity on recovery after total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. 🔍 **Key Findings:** - Pre-surgery heart-rate variability (HRV) can predict postoperative inflammation and recovery time. - Patients with higher HRV levels experienced quicker recovery and lower inflammation levels, as indicated by C-reactive protein (CRP). - Personalized interventions, such as HRV biofeedback, could enhance surgical outcomes by improving vagal tone before surgery. 🔬 **Why It Matters:** This research highlights the potential for using HRV as a marker for personalized surgical preparation. By understanding a patient's HRV, we can develop tailored interventions to improve recovery and reduce complications. 👩⚕️ **Future Directions:** The study opens up exciting possibilities for personalized medicine, where targeted interventions could enhance recovery and patient satisfaction.

🩺 A Vital 10-Year Study: Rotator Cuff Tear Management 💪 A landmark prospective, multicenter cohort study reveals important insights into shoulder injury treatment. PT as the most underrated clinical modality in MSK care. Key Findings: Physical therapy successfully treated over 70% of patients Patient treatment outcomes remained stable for a decade Recovery predictions evolve with time and individual factors Identified predictors of surgical intervention: Early surgery (within 6 months): Low patient expectations of physical therapy Later surgery (6-10 years): Activity level and Workers' Compensation status Most Importantly, Physical therapy patients: ✅ Maintained consistent performance outcomes ✅ Rarely required reverse shoulder arthroplasty ✅ Demonstrated durable treatment effectiveness This study, published in a top orthopedic surgery journal, JBJS, solidifies our understanding of non-operative vs. operative rotator cuff tear care. #MSK #PT #MedicalResearch #OrthopedicSurgery #PhysicalTherapy #PatientCare #MedicalInnovation

Dr. Nirav Amin evaluates the NUVIS Single-Use Arthroscope at Ontario Advanced Surgery Center We are excited to share that Dr. Nirav Amin recently evaluated the sterile, single-use NUVIS arthroscope at Ontario Advanced Surgery Center, Ontario, CA. Dr. Amin highlighted the significant advantages of having the NUVIS 4K scope readily available, especially in reducing delays caused by scope turnaround time. In his own words: “Our surgery center was experiencing backlogs due to limited scope availability compatible with competitive camera systems. The NUVIS arthroscope not only eliminated the need for light source cables but also enhanced operational efficiency—adding tremendous value to our ambulatory surgery center.” At Integrated Endoscopy, we’re proud to be at the forefront of surgical innovation. Our state-of-the-art wireless arthroscopic solutions, like the NUVIS scope, are transforming orthopedic surgery with key benefits: ✅ No cables to manage ✅ Superior 4K HD image quality ✅ Enhanced maneuverability Discover how NUVIS is setting a new standard in orthopedic surgery. Watch our video and see how wireless technology and 4K HD imaging are revolutionizing the field!

❗ To date, 10-20% of patients remain unsatisfied following total knee arthroplasty (#TKA). In response, orthopaedic surgeons are increasingly leveraging technological advancements. #Robotic-#assisted surgeries have become a significant trend in the field. Increasing evidence also supports a shift from traditional mechanical alignment (MA) to more #personalized #strategies such as restricted inverse kinematic alignment (#iKA). A recent study published by University College Cork in KSSTA Journal investigated the efficacy of a conventionally instrumented, restricted #iKA technique in restoring the constitutional coronal plane alignment of the lower limb during total knee arthoplasty. The technique was applied across a diverse patient cohort of 79 individuals, exhibiting pre-operative #valgus, neutral, and #varus alignments. A range of prostheses was utilized, demonstrating the technique's adaptability. Radiographic measurements were performed #pre- and #post-surgery using #IBLab #LAMA, ImageBiopsy Lab's tool for leg angle measurement (reproducibility of 96%). The #CPAK classification system was employed to effectively demonstrate changes in lower limb alignments, facilitating a robust interpretation of the surgical outcomes. 👉 Don't hesitate to contact us for a demo of our #MSK #AI portfolio: https://lnkd.in/d77pNVdc 👉 Read the study in #KSSTA: https://lnkd.in/dzmVDgGv Sarah Keyes, Shane Russell, Zsolt Bertalan, James Harty Christoph Salzlechner, Richard Ljuhar, Jochen G.

Low patient expectations regarding efficacy of PT for RTC rehab were found to be a predictor of early surgery. In patients that delay surgery AND have symptomatic full thickness tears, >70% had successful outcomes with PT and non-op management. Take home message here - let's all work to build patient confidence in non-operative management options. Positively framing an intervention can work wonders for patients. We can always perform surgery at any time, but can't reverse it once it's done! Surgery can be costly for the patient and healthcare system, and also results in missed time at work putting further strain on the patient and our economy. American medicine needs to shift focus back to conservative management and quality care. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
