    . Age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, head size and type, fixation method, and surgical approach were independent significant factors for dislocation. Comprehensive search algorithms are needed in order to identify all dislocations so that this complication can be accurately reported in national registers.

    We found the “true” cumulative incidence of dislocations within 2 years after primary THAs performed between 2010 and 2014 in Denmark to be 3.5%. Age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, head size and type, fixation method, and surgical approach were independent significant factors for dislocation. Comprehensive search algorithms are needed in order to identify all dislocations so that this complication can be accurately reported in national registers.

    United States guidelines recommend preconception care (PCC) as an integral part of primary care to improve maternal and fetal/newborn outcomes and promote planned pregnancies. Persons living with HIV have additional, specialized needs for PCC. However, PCC is not reliably integrated in HIV care, and few studies have examined strategies to improve the provision of PCC services. We describe a successful, nurse-led initiative that incorporated collaborative strategic planning in conjunction with staff education and continuous quality improvement to strengthen implementation of PCC in a small urban HIV care clinic. Key features of this project included consensus building, training, and action planning with clinic staff; addressing clinic-specific barriers; and providing ongoing support/technical assistance. Continuous quality improvement reviews at 12, 18, and 36 months demonstrated improved and sustained implementation of PCC services for women and men. Our experiences serve as a model for HIV primary care cli experiences serve as a model for HIV primary care clinics working to advance implementation of PCC services.We present a literature review with technique for tourniquetless TKA for surgeons interested in transitioning away from the tourniquet. Tourniquet use provides a bloodless field and improved visualization with decreased intraoperative blood loss, but the arguments for tourniquet use of improved cement fixation and decreased overall blood loss have not been supported by the literature. Regarding recovery, tourniquetless TKA has demonstrated less postoperative pain and improved knee function. There is also the potential for patient harm with tourniquet use. The process of tourniquetless TKA begins preoperatively with anemia screening and treatment. Tranexamic acid decreases the overall blood loss and blood transfusion risk. Vorinostat clinical trial We recommend preemptive analgesia. The surgery is performed with the knee flexed for a near bloodless field. For cementation, the knee irrigation removes lipids from the exposed bone along with meticulous cement technique. Tourniquetless TKA is able to be safely performed on a routine basis and brings potential benefits to the patient with no evident increased risk in comparison to tourniquet use.Definitive diagnosis and optimal surgical treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability remains controversial. This review distills available biomechanical evidence as it pertains to the clinical assessment, imaging work up, and surgical treatment of lateral ankle instability. Current data suggest that accurate assessment of ligament integrity during physical examination requires the ankle to ideally be held in 16° of plantar flexion when performing the anterior drawer test and 18° of dorsiflexion when performing the talar tilt test, respectively. Stress radiographs are limited by their low sensitivity, and MRI is limited by its static nature. Surgically, both arthroscopic and open repair techniques appear biomechanically equivalent in their ability to restore ankle stability, although sufficient evidence is still lacking for any particular procedure to be considered a superior construct. When performing reconstruction, grafts should be tensioned at 10 N and use of nonabsorbable augmentations lacking viscoelastic creep must factor in the potential for overtensioning. Anatomic lateral ligament surgery provides sufficient biomechanical strength to safely enable immediate postoperative weight bearing if lateral ankle stress is neutralized with a boot. Further research and comparative clinical trials will be necessary to define which of these ever-increasing procedural options actually optimizes patient outcome for chronic lateral ankle instability.

    Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) of the eyelid is a rare, aggressive malignancy associated with high rates of recurrence, metastasis, and tumor-related mortality.

    Provide a collective analysis of clinical presentations, management techniques, and outcomes, and compare outcomes of common treatment methods.

    Observational studies reporting management and outcomes of SC of the eyelid were included. Patient and clinical data were extracted, and meta-analysis of proportions was performed.

    One thousand three hundred thirty-three subjects were included with a mean age of 65.2 years and 803 (60.2%) women. Of 647 initial diagnoses reported, 277 (42.8%) were correct, and the mean diagnostic delay was 14.7 months (range 8.5-34.8). The tumor location was reported in 1,246 subjects and involved the upper eyelid in 780 (62.6%), lower eyelid in 409 (32.8%), and 57 (4.8%) involved both. Overall rates of recurrence, metastasis, and tumor-related mortality were 15.9%, 12.1%, and 6.2%, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in wide local excision (WLE) versus Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) outcomes.

    Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid is more common in women, on the upper eyelid, and is frequently misdiagnosed initially. Rate of recurrence, metastasis, and tumor-related mortality were similar in subjects managed with WLE versus MMS.

    VYC-20L is a hyaluronic acid soft tissue filler with lidocaine designed to restore facial volume.

    Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of VYC-20L in patients with chin retrusion.

    Adults with chin retrusion were randomized (31) to receive VYC-20L in the chin at study onset (treatment group) or 6 months later (control group). The primary effectiveness end point was ≥1-point improvement on the Allergan Chin Retrusion Scale (ACRS) from baseline at Month 6. Safety assessments included injection site responses (ISRs) and adverse events (AEs).

    VYC-20L was administered to 192 participants (treatment group, n = 144; control group, n = 48). At Month 6, significantly more participants had an ACRS response in the treatment versus control group (56.3% vs 27.5%; p = .0019). Effectiveness was also demonstrated by the proportion of participants with improved/much improved Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores and responses on the FACE-Q Satisfaction with Chin questionnaire and FACE-Q Psychological Wellbeing module.
