Open fractureProximal humerusShoulderBackground:Limited data exists in analyzing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and arthroplasty in the management of open proximal humerus fractures. We analyzed differences in hospital course between these procedures, patient demographics, complication rate, ...
Exclusion criteria included the following: incorrect ICD coding, inadequate or unclear imaging, incomplete follow-up, subacute, chronic, or recurrent fractures, skeletal immaturity, fracture-dislocations of the shoulder, fractures with excessive displacement that obscured measurement of HHPS, and treatment ...

Observations: We classified patients as having a humerus fracture based on ICD9 codes. For each year, we divided the number of fractures in males and females by the total number of ED visits. We tested for statistical significance using the Student t-test, calculated 95% confidence intervals ...
METHODS: The National Inpatient Sample was used to identify all patient discharges with diagnosis codes for PHF and the data were classified based on ICD-9 procedure codes. Patient and hospital demographics were also analyzed. Simple linear regression analyses were performed for each treatment modali...
variations in treatment methods of PHF in the United States from 2004 to 2012 and to determine the regional differences in treatment.The National Inpatient Sample was used to identify all patient discharges with diagnosis codes for PHF and the data were classified based on ICD-9 procedure codes....
RSA and TSA shared the same ICD-9 code until 2010. The incidence of proximal humerus fracture was stable from 2006 to 2012. Hemiarthroplasty was the majority treatment choice for arthroplasty in the early 2000's. However, in 2008, there was a large decrease in utilization, to 51.3% in ...
in electronic health record (EHR) systems and administrative claims databases was enhanced by the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10 ), which expanded the diagnosis codes for PHF to describe fracture complexity including displacement and the number of fracture parts....
There were no significant differences in operative duration, wait time in the PACU, and wait time for discharge before and after implementation for either fracture type. Whereas 57% of orthopaedic surgeons responding to the survey believed that the program was an effective management technique, only...
Medial epicondyle fracturePediatric elbowTruvenEpidemiologyBACKGROUND Distal humerus elbow fractures are one of the most common traumatic fractures seen in pediatric patients and present as three main types:Supracondylar(SC),lateral condyle(LC),and medial epicondyle(ME)fractures.AIM To evaluate the ...
