The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if administration of Exparel via local infiltration for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction procedures in pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine patients provides significant pain relief and decreased narcotic use. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does Exparel significantly reduce Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores and pain levels up to one week postoperatively?
* Does Exparel significantly decrease narcotic use (number of pills taken) up to one week postoperatively?
Researchers will compare the pain outcomes and narcotic use of patients who receive Exparel and Marcaine via local infiltration to those of patients who receive only Marcaine via local infiltration for their MPFL reconstruction surgery. The goal is to understand if there is a significant difference in patient pain outcomes and narcotic use outside the first 24 hours postoperatively.
Participants will:
* receive either Exparel + Marcaine intraoperatively or Marcaine only intraoperatively during their MPFL reconstruction surgery
* receive and complete questionnaires at postoperative days 1, 4, and 7 regarding their pain scores, levels, and outcomes, effective pain treatments, overall pain interference, narcotic use (number of pills taken), and overall pain treatment satisfaction
* receive and complete secondary outcome measures of functional and psychological outcomes regarding their MPFL reconstruction surgery at postoperative day 1

Prospective Evaluation of Post-operative Pain Management Using Peripheral Nerve Blocks in the Pediatric Population

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if single-shot ropivacaine peripheral nerve blocks (PNB - perineural injections) for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedures in pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine patients provides significant pain relief and decreased narcotic use. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does ropivacaine significantly reduce Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores and pain levels up to one week postoperatively?
* Does ropivacaine significantly decrease narcotic use (number of pills taken) up to one week postoperatively?
Researchers will compare the pain outcomes and narcotic use of participants who receive a single-shot ropivacaine peripheral nerve block to those of participants who do not receive a single-shot ropivacaine peripheral nerve block for their ACL reconstruction surgery. The goal is to understand if there is a significant difference in participant pain outcomes and narcotic use outside the first 24 hours postoperatively.
Participants will:
* receive either a single-shot ropivacaine peripheral nerve block intraoperatively or no peripheral nerve block during their ACL Quadriceps tendon graft or bone patellar tendon bone graft reconstruction surgery.
* receive and complete questionnaires at postoperative days 1, 4, and 7 regarding their pain scores, levels, and outcomes, effective pain treatments, overall pain interference, narcotic use (number of pills taken), and overall pain treatment satisfaction
* receive and complete secondary outcome measures of functional and psychological outcomes regarding their ACL reconstruction surgery at postoperative day 1

Does Preservation of Metacarpophalangeal Joint Vascularity Protect Against Physeal Arrest in Index Finger Pollicization?

Article

Author: Oishi, Scott N ; Ezaki, Marybeth ; Reghunathan, Meera ; Schneidau, Courtney ; Stutz, Chris ; Hinchcliff, Katharine

PURPOSETo determine whether preservation of blood supply to the index metacarpophalangeal joint decreases the rate of physeal arrest.METHODSA retrospective review of 41 pollicized digits in 35 patients with 2-year minimum radiographic follow-up was conducted at a single institution. Other complications evaluated included nonunion at the pollicized digit base and clinical instability at the new carpometacarpal joint. Findings were compared to historical controls, which were performed by our group prior to routine identification and sparing of the metacarpophalangeal joint blood supply. No other modifications to surgical technique were made between the previous and current patient cohorts.RESULTSTwo pollicized digits in two different patients had radiographic evidence of physeal arrest, one of which was partial and the other complete, for an arrest rate of 4.9%. This was significantly less than the arrest rate in our historical cohort of 24.7% (21 of 85 patients). Five patients did not have radiographic bony union at the base of the index metacarpal, but only one patient had clinical instability at the new carpometacarpal joint.CONCLUSIONSSignificantly fewer patients who underwent index finger pollicization with preservation of the metacarpophalangeal joint blood supply went on to develop physeal arrest when compared to patients who underwent pollicization prior to adoption of this technique. This finding suggests that sparing of the physeal blood supply is preventative against proximal phalanx physeal arrest.TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCETherapeutic IV.

Posttraumatic stress symptoms in recovery from concussion

Article

Author: Stokes, Mathew ; Bell, Kathleen R. ; Bunt, Stephen C. ; Tamez, Ingrid ; Didehbani, Nyaz ; Wilmoth, Kristin ; Doggett, Hannah ; Cullum, C. Munro ; Hynan, Linda S. ; Miller, Shane M.

BACKGROUNDPrevious literature suggests that lingering concussion symptoms may be influenced by psychological factors. The relationship of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) during recovery with pre-existing/injury related factors and concussion symptomology is not fully understood. Identification of factors contributing to symptoms of posttraumatic stress may provide guidance to improve treatment following concussion.METHODThis study included 287 participants (Male 40.42%, n = 116; Female 59.58%, n = 171) aged 13-75 years diagnosed with a recent concussion at one of the North Texas Concussion Registry (ConTex) specialty concussion clinic sites. Preinjury emotional history, injury related factors, and emotional state at time of initial evaluation were analyzed as predictors of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PCL-5) during recovery.RESULTSSixty-one percent of participants endorsed at least one PTSS. Correlations were found between initial Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5^Ⓡ (SCAT5) total emotional symptom severity and screening measures for anxiety (GAD-7; r = .453, p < .001) and depression (PHQ-8; r = .550, p < .001) symptom scores. Of the measures from the initial visit included in the multiple regression model predicting severity of PTSS at follow-up (R² = 0.554, β < .001), three measures predicted PTSS severity: initial SCAT5 total emotional symptom severity (β = 0.565, p < .001), PHQ-8 score (β =.166, p = .009), and GAD-7 score (β = 0.119, p = .044).CONCLUSIONSSymptoms of anxiety and depression along with specific SCAT5 emotional symptoms present at the time of initial evaluation may serve to predict overall level of PTSS and increased risk for PTSS during recovery. PTSS may be another dimension of response to injury and concussion recovery, with a large percentage of individuals endorsing at least one PTSS. Clinicians can utilize brief assessments such as the SCAT5 at the time of initial clinical evaluation to identify those at risk for PTSS following concussion.

Long-Term Follow-up of Untreated Adult Patients with Spondylothoracic Dysostosis (Jarcho-Levin Syndrome)

Article

Author: Rosado, Edwin ; De Jesús-Rojas, Wilfredo ; Monroig-Rivera, Carlos ; Carlo, Simón ; Cornier, Alberto Santiago ; Arciniegas Medina, Norma J ; Vélez-Bartolomei, Frances ; Ramírez, Norman ; Johnston, Charles E

Background:Spondylothoracic dysostosis (STD), also known as Jarcho-Levin syndrome (JLS), is a rare autosomal recessive disorder affecting the formation of the spine, characterized by a complete bilateral fusion of the ribs at the costovertebral junction, producing a “crablike” appearance of the thorax. Despite being declared a core indication for a V-osteotomy vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib (VEPTR) expansion thoracoplasty of the posterior thorax, the natural history of STD in untreated subjects remains poorly documented. In this study, we report radiographic and pulmonary function findings and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and 24-Item Early Onset Scoliosis Questionnaire (EOSQ-24) scores for untreated adult subjects with STD to gain insights into the natural history.Methods:We identified 11 skeletally mature, untreated subjects with STD. Findings on medical evaluation, demographics, radiographic parameters, pulmonary function, genetic testing results, PROMIS measures, and EOSQ-24 scores were assessed.Results:Five male and 6 female subjects (mean age, 32.3 years [range, 15 to 70 years]) with a confirmed STD diagnosis based on radiographs and genetic testing were evaluated. Mean body mass index (BMI) was 24.4 kg/m2 (range, 18 to 38.9 kg/m2), and mean thoracic height was 16 cm (range, 12 to 17 cm). Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) showed a mean forced vital capacity (FVC) of 22% of predicted, mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) of 24% of predicted, and FEV1/FVC ratio of 107% of predicted. The mean PROMIS dyspnea score was 40 ± 8 points (range, 27.7 to 52.1 points). The mean total EOSQ-24 score was 77.3 ± 18 points (range, 43.9 to 93.2 points).Conclusions:Our study characterizes the natural history of STD in untreated subjects. We confirmed the expected restrictive pattern in pulmonary function, but interestingly, our subjects exhibited better EOSQ scores compared with those reported in neuromuscular populations. PFT results and thoracic height did not correspond to PROMIS and EOSQ scores, questioning the use of those parameters as a surgical indication. We therefore suggest that the STD diagnosis as an absolute indication for VEPTR expansion thoracoplasty surgery be reconsidered.Level of Evidence:Therapeutic Level IV.
