High-yield, practice-defining musculoskeletal literature scanned, curated, and synthesized for orthopaedic surgeons, fellows, and residents. The Orthogate Weekly Journal Scan monitors both apex general flagships (JBJS, CORR, The Bone & Joint Journal, JAAOS) and dedicated subspecialty journals across 11 disciplines. Every edition appraises practice-changing Level-I and II clinical trials structured using the SBAR framework, delivering actionable attending mentor pearls with zero journal bias.
PURPOSE: To determine the effectiveness of proficiency-based progression (PBP) training using simulation both compared with the same training without proficiency requirements and compared with a traditional resident course for learning to perform an arthroscopic Bankart repair...
This study compared the clinical outcomes following mini-open rotator cuff repair (MORCR) between early mobilisation and usual care, involving initial immobilisation. In total, 189 patients with radiologically-confirmed full-thickness rotator cuff tears underwent MORCR and were...
BACKGROUND: Neglected osseous glenoid defects are thought to be one of the reasons for the reported high rates of recurrent instability at long-term follow-up after Bankart repair. We hypothesized that open Bankart repair for the treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability in...
BACKGROUND: The shoulder's ability to participate in sports and activities of daily living depends on its active range of motion. Clinical goniometry is of limited utility in rigorously assessing limitation of motion and the effectiveness of treatment. We sought to determine (1)...
BACKGROUND: The radial nerve is at risk after diaphyseal humeral fracture or surgery to repair the fracture. We hypothesized that there are no factors associated with iatrogenic radial nerve palsy and, secondarily, that there are no factors associated with traumatic radial nerve...
BACKGROUND: To describe treatment methods and complication rates of all open Seymour fractures (Salter-Harris I/II or juxta-epiphyseal fractures of the distal phalanx of the hand with associated nailbed laceration) treated at or referred to a pediatric level 1 trauma center over...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of surgical timing on the outcome of pediatric lateral condyle fractures (LCF). We hypothesize that performing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for a displaced LCF between 7 and 14 days after the...
BACKGROUND: The options for treating femoral fractures in children and adolescents have evolved over the last 2 decades to include a variety of nonoperative and operative methods. The purpose of this study was to identify changes in the types of treatment for pediatric femoral...
BACKGROUND: Recent clinical studies in adults have reported a higher incidence of symptomatic malunions and functional deficits in nonoperatively treated shortened midshaft clavicular fractures. We sought to determine whether functional or subjective deficits are found in...
