  • What Is the Proportion of Late-developing DDH After a Normal Ultrasound in Newborns With Breech Presentation? [Journal Article]
    Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2026 Jul 28. [Online ahead of print]Beber SA, Scher EM, … Doyle SMCO
  • CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that hip dysplasia can develop after birth, which supports its developmental rather than purely congenital origin. Clinicians should consider routine follow-up imaging at approximately 6 months for infants with breech presentation, even after a normal screening ultrasound result. This approach may be particularly important in female infants, who exhibited higher odds of late-developing DDH in our cohort. However, given the modest sample size and the restriction to newborns with breech presentation, these results cannot be generalized to universal follow-up imaging for all screened populations. Targeted monitoring of higher-risk groups may allow earlier diagnosis and treatment while avoiding unnecessary imaging. The timing of follow-up radiographs and the appropriate endpoint for surveillance after a normal ultrasound result remain to be established.
  • For Love, Money, or Country: What Is the Return on Investment of Orthopaedic Fellowship, Academic, and Military Pathways? [Journal Article]
    Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2026 Jul 24. [Online ahead of print]Jhand AS, Elnaggar A, … Andrews ECO
  • CONCLUSIONS: Under contemporary compensation conditions, spine surgery remains the only subspecialty with a positive financial return relative to general orthopaedic practice; most fellowship, academic, and military-funded pathways carry measurable long-term financial trade-offs. Medical schools and residency programs should present career-long earnings comparisons alongside the nonfinancial rewards of each pathway, and trainees may be best served by choosing fellowships based on clinical interest, lifestyle, and job-market realities rather than expected financial gain.
  • Do Personalized Recovery Trajectories Enhance the Utility of Patient-reported Outcome Measures After Orthopaedic Surgery? [Journal Article]
    Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2026 Aug 01; 484(8):1568-1581.Graber J, Jin X, … Stevens-Lapsley JCO
  • CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians should consider using personalized recovery trajectories to make PROMs more useful in the early postoperative period for monitoring patient recovery, supporting interdisciplinary communication, and managing patient expectations. Clinicians can implement personalized recovery trajectories into their practice using tools like the one developed in this study (available at: https://cu-restore.shinyapps.io/TSA_recovery_v1/). Future research should focus on developing and validating similar tools in new populations, integrating them within clinical workflows, and evaluating their impact on patient outcomes.
