Healio spoke to Antonia Chen, MD, of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, about surgical outcomes research she presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) in Las Vegas.

Andrew K. Simpson, MD, MBA, MHS, at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and colleagues created the first machine learning algorithm that identifies who may or may not be a potential candidate for hip or knee arthroplasty based solely on information that could be readily available in the electronic health record.

In this video from the 2023 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting, Professor Andrew J. Schoenfeld, MD, describes his recent research on the cost-utility benefits of robotic assistance for adult spinal deformity procedures.

Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have created a quantitative tool that can be used for patient-specific preoperative planning and intraoperative adjustment of acetabular component position during total hip arthroplasty, with or without assistive intraoperative technology.

Andrew J. Schoenfeld, MD, MSc, at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Peter G. Passias, MD, and colleagues are the first to examine longer-term outcomes of the prone-lateral variation of circumferential lumbar fusion.

Elizabeth G. Matzkin, MD, of the Women’s Sports Medicine Program, and colleagues study the benefit of arthroscopy for individual knee symptoms. They report two-thirds of patients experienced resolution of grinding/clicking and pivot pain, but fewer had resolution of catching/locking.

Surgeons at Brigham and Women’s Hospital recently reviewed the causes, treatment, and prevention of mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC, commonly called tunnionosis).

Nathan P. Thomas, MD, PhD, Antonia F. Chen, MD, MBA, in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and colleagues compared manipulation under anesthesia or arthroscopic lysis of adhesions in the largest cohort in current literature.

Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital recently demonstrated that the post-surgical global period is a critical timepoint influencing follow-up rates. At six months, follow-up was lowest for patients on Medicaid.
