BACKGROUND: Although uncommon, pneumothorax is a potentially serious complication following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of clavicle fractures. In many centres it is routine practice to obtain postoperative chest radiographs following ORIF of clavicle fractures to assess for iatrogenic pneumothorax. Given the need to contain health care costs, the low sensitivity for detecting small pneumothorax and a desire to decrease patient radiation exposure, the practice of ordering chest radiographs following ORIF of clavicle fractures may be unnecessary...

BACKGROUND: Continuity of primary care (CPC) improves patient well-being, but the association between CPC and surgical outcomes has not been well studied. The numbers of joint replacement procedures are expected to rise considerably in the coming years, so it is crucial to identify factors related to successful outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between CPC and emergency department (ED) visits after knee and hip replacement surgery. METHODS: Physician claims and hospital data from 2005 to 2020 in Nova Scotia were used in this retrospective study...

BACKGROUND: Recruiting residents to practise rurally begins with an accurate characterization of rural surgeons. We sought to identify and analyze demographic trends among rural surgeons in Canada and to predict the rural workforce requirements for the next decade. METHODS: In this retrospective observational study, we assessed the demographic and practice characteristics of rural general surgeons in Canada, defined as surgeons working in cities with a population of 100 000 or less...

BACKGROUND: Current national guidelines on caring for hip fractures recommend early mobilization. However, this recommendation does not account for time spent immobilized waiting for surgery. We sought to determine timing of mobilization following hip fracture, beginning at hospital admission, and evaluate its association with medical complications and length of hospital stay (LOS). METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of prospectively collected data for 470 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for a hip fracture between September 2019 and August 2020 at an academic, tertiary-referral hospital...

BACKGROUND: Minimal literature exists on outcomes for Canadian patients with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). The objective of our study was to establish a prospective clinical database to evaluate demographic characteristics, presentation and outcomes of patients with GEA. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with GEA were recruited from Jan. 30, 2017, to Aug. 30, 2020. Data collected included demographic characteristics, presentation, treatment and survival. A multivariable model for overall survival in patients treated with curative intent was created using sex, lymph node status, resection margin status, age and tumour location as variables...

BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) following joint arthroplasty are now the leading cause of reoperation and are associated with serious morbidity to the patient, often requiring several staged operations and a prolonged course of parenteral antibiotics. Prophylactic administration of intravenous antibiotics before skin incision is arguably the most important measure to prevent PJI; however, the dose effectiveness of cefazolin in target tissue is not well known. We aimed to identify parameters affecting local tissue concentration (LTC) of cefazolin...

SummaryTo ensure equitable representation of women and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, person of colour) individuals in surgical specialties, it is first necessary to understand the presence and extent of the disparities that exist. We explored the websites of the 17 Canadian faculties of medicine to examine sex and racial diversity in surgical specialties and in surgical leadership positions in Canada. We categorized faculty members of each department of surgery as either male or female and White or BIPOC. The relative percentage of female academic surgeons was very low compared with Canadian demographic data, and the relative percentage of BIPOC academic surgeons was similar to Canadian demographic data...

BACKGROUND: Primary nonparasitic splenic cysts (NPSC) are typically diagnosed incidentally. The management of large (≥ 5 cm) asymptomatic cysts remains controversial; there is a lack of evidence guiding management. The purpose of this study was to describe the outcomes of nonoperative management of large NPSC. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with NPSC between January 2004 and December 2019 were identified at our academic institution. Adult patients with an NPSC of at least 5 cm who had at least 1 additional hospital visit were included...

A pioneer in multiple areas of biochemical research, Desmond Beall made important contributions to Canadian medical history. His legacy laid the foundation for several modern scientific advances, extending from his doctoral work in Toronto on equine estrogen (which led to the development of conjugated estrogens) to landmark work on rhabdomyolysis during World War II. Though some theoretical understanding of the pathophysiology of traumatic rhabdomyolysis existed previously, Beall and his colleague Eric Bywaters substantially advanced this field of study with their publications on patients treated during the 1940 Blitz bombings...

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of maximizing same-day discharge after surgery to mitigate potential patient harms associated with inpatient admission and conserve valuable hospital resources. Adoption of same-day discharge after breast surgery, particularly mastectomy, has been slow despite recent research suggesting the physical and psychological benefits of same-day discharge after surgery. We sought to identify factors associated with inpatient compared with surgical day care mastectomy procedures at a community hospital in Vernon, British Columbia...

SummaryThe progressive inflammatory nature of chronic pancreatitis and its sparse therapeutic toolbox remain obstacles in offering patients durable solutions for their symptoms. Obstruction of the main pancreatic duct by either strictures or stones represents a scenario worthy of therapeutic focus, as nearly all patients with pancreatitis eventually have intraductal stones. A more recent option for removal of main duct stones is extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). In an effort to explore the role of ESWL in a Canadian setting, we evaluated our initial experience over an 8-year period (2011-2019)...

BACKGROUND: Patients with a tibial shaft fracture experiencing their first postoperative complication following treatment with intramedullary nails may be at greater risk of subsequent complications than the whole population. We aimed to determine whether the initial method of nail insertion influences outcome in patients with a tibial shaft fracture requiring multiple reoperations. METHODS: Using the Study to Prospectively Evaluate Reamed Intramedullary Nails in Tibial Shaft Fractures trial data, we categorized patients as those not requiring reoperation, those requiring a single reoperation and those requiring multiple reoperations, and we compared them by nail insertion technique (reamed v...

BACKGROUND: Although surgical complications are often included as an outcome of surgical research conducted using administrative data, little validation work has been performed. We sought to evaluate the diagnostic performance of an algorithm designed to capture major surgical complications using health administrative data. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who underwent high-risk elective general surgery at a single institution in Ontario, Canada, from Sept...
