Article Abstract
During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, states implemented social distancing guidelines. This study examines the effect of the severity of lockdown orders on orthopaedic trauma volume. Two institutions, one in a state with strict stay home (SH) orders and one in a state with lax social distancing (SD) orders, were examined. Surgical case counts, total orthopaedic case counts, orthopaedic trauma case counts, institution trauma activations, and mechanism of injury data were collected and compared to control periods. For SH versus SD, total surgical cases decreased 48.6% vs. 62%; orthopaedic cases decreased 51.8% vs. 62%, and orthopaedic trauma cases decreased 34% v. 0%. Orthopaedic trauma cases comprised more of both institutions' total cases. Total surgical cases decreased at both SH and SD, but orthopaedic trauma cases did not decrease at SD. More strict social distancing orders correlate with greater reduction in orthopaedic trauma cases. (Journal of Surgical Orthopaedic Advances 31(4):222-225, 2022).

» There is wide variability in the measurement tools used to assess socioeconomic deprivation status (SDS) in orthopaedic trauma research, including single-item, multi-item, and area-based indices.» Area-based SDS measures are commonly used because they can be readily linked to geographic identifiers in administrative data; however, they are limited by ecological fallacy and may misclassify individual-level socioeconomic status.» The lack of standardization in SDS measurement limits comparability across studies, highlighting the need for core measurement domains to support equity-focused research.

» Posterior shoulder instability (PSI) constitutes approximately 10% of all shoulder instability cases and is prevalent among contact sport athletes because of recurrent blunt trauma to the shoulder.» PSI presents as persistent pain and can be diagnosed using clinical tests such as the Kim test and the Jerk test.» Surgical intervention is recommended for athletes who have exhausted nonoperative treatment.

» Kim's lesion of the shoulder is characterized by incomplete tearing of the junction between the posteroinferior labrum and the glenoid, with the superficial labral tissue remaining intact, and generally requires arthroscopic evaluation for accurate confirmation.» Kim's lesion represents an under-reported subtype of posterior labral injury and a source of activity-related posterior shoulder discomfort and instability.» Kim's lesions are frequently observed in young, active individuals involved in overhead and contact sports, often resulting from traumatic mechanisms with the shoulder in flexion and adduction, as well as from repetitive microtrauma and overuse.

The costoclavicular brachial plexus block has gained relevance as a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique for upper limb orthopedic surgery in adults, but data in pediatric populations remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of phrenic nerve palsy associated with CBPB in pediatric patients. We conducted a descriptive observational study in 30 children undergoing upper limb orthopedic surgery.
