Distracted driving is a major contributor to the rising rates of deaths and injuries due to MVCs. Nearly every patient in the survey study acknowledged distracted driving at least sometimes, according to the new research, led by Bill Ristevski, MD, of McMaster University, Hamilton, Ont., Canada. "Essentially, despite the apparent dangers, all drivers engage in distracting behavior," the researchers write. There is a higher risk of crash for 'distraction-prone' drivers. In a nationwide study, 1,378 patients being treated at four Canadian fracture clinics completed...

With the increasing publicity and interest in novel approaches for Total Hip Arthroplasty, many surgeons are feeling pressure to make changes to their practice. The pathway to change includes many obstacles for surgeons working in a non-academic environment including but not limited to: taking time from a busy practice, finding good mentors, altering hospital protocols, and overcoming the learning curve. But what does the evidence tell us? Are the outcomes really that much different to support the appetite for change?

It is becoming clear that gender bias and gender-based data gaps are everywhere, even in orthopaedics. But, isn’t an arthritic knee an arthritic knee? Perhaps not. Gender bias is evident in how surgical procedures are offered and large data gaps exist in assessing clinical outcomes after surgery. This discussion will review how gender bias manifests for our orthopaedic surgery patients with regards to diagnosis, treatment and how we assess clinical outcomes. For us to better understand these factors, more women need to be enrolled in clinical trials. Also, in order to provide optimal care for our patients, gender-specific analysis of outcome data with consideration of confounding variables, will be of paramount importance

Insights:

  • There are differences in how and when men and women are offered orthopaedic surgical procedures
  • There are gender differences in how clinicians perceive disability and pain in patients
  • Women are not represented equally in orthopaedic clinical trials
  • Research data is often not presented with gender specific contexts
  • There are confounding variables with regard to gender that may bias clinical results

Patients commonly present with acute pain secondary to an acute injury, and there are dozens of potential options for addressing their pain. Most trials explore the effectiveness of a treatment option versus placebo or sham therapy, which complicates assessment of comparative effectiveness among competing therapies. We will discuss the role of network meta-analyses to inform comparative effectiveness, despite limited evidence from head-to-head trials.

Insights:

  • An evolving approach for informing comparative effectiveness of competing interventions
  • Optimizing interpretation of effect estimates
  • Consideration of net benefit (benefits and harms)
  • Advantages of a partially contextualized approach to interpreting network estimates vs. surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA)

Insights:

  • Hard work is essential for success and realisation of one’s ambition but however it should not be in excess and at the sacrifice of the family friends and physical and mental health.
  • Young surgeons must learn to differentiate very quickly between hard work from stress. While hard work has not killed anybody, there are many people who have died of stress. Stress usually comes out of poor performance.
  • “Work Life Balance” is essentially “Work Wife Balance” and once the family is in alignment with the ambitions and aspirations of a person, most problems are solved.
  • The power for hard work is given by “Vitamin P” (Passion) and not by the drive for “Vitamin M” (Money)
