To determine the rate of total knee replacement (TKR) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) compared to the general population. Retrospective review. All hospitals that performed TKR and ACL-R in Manitoba between 1980 and 2015. All patients that underwent TKR and ACL-R in Manitoba between 1980 and 2015. Patient factors gathered at time of surgery included age, sex, urban or rural residence, neighborhood income quintile, and resource utilization band (RUB). Each person was matched with up to 5 people from the general population who had never had ACL-R and had not had a TKR at the time of the case ACL-R. The rate of TKR after ACL-R. Overall from 1980 to 2015, 8500 ACL-R were identified within the 16 to 60 years age group with a resultant 42 497 population matches. Sex was predominantly male. The mean age of the ACL-R group at the time of TKR was 53.7 years, whereas the mean age for the matched cohort was 58.2 years, P < 0.001. Those with ACL-R were 4.85 times more likely to go on to have TKR. Apart from age, no other risk factors examined (location, year of surgery, place of residence, income quintile, and RUB) seemed to increase risk of TKR after ACL-R. Patients who underwent ACL-R were 5 times more likely to undergo TKR. Patients who underwent ACL-R were 5 times more likely to undergo TKR.Knee braces and patellar straps are frequently prescribed devices for treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome. In this report, we describe the occurrence of localized deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after use of an infrapatellar strap. Until now, external mechanical compression has not been recognized as a cause of DVT. In young and athletic patients presenting with DVT, after exclusion of the most prominent risk factors, untraditional causes should be considered to mistakenly label a DVT as unprovoked. We aim to describe the long-term follow-up data from our institution's POEM experience. Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a well-established endoscopic therapy for achalasia with excellent short-term efficacy, but long-term outcomes data are limited. Patients older than 4 years removed from POEM for treatment of achalasia were studied. N-Acetyl-DL-methionine research buy Clinical success was defined as an Eckardt Symptom (ES) score ≤3 and freedom from reintervention for achalasia. Patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), high-resolution manometry, impedance planimetry, and timed barium esophagram (TBE) preoperatively and at least 4 years postoperatively. Objective gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was defined LA Grade B or worse esophagitis on EGD. One hundred and nineteen consecutive patients were included. Five patients died or had catastrophic events unrelated to achalasia or POEM. One hundred of the remaining patients (88%, 100/114) had long-term data available. Clinical follow-up for all patients was greater thation parameters over 4.5 years postoperatively. Reinterventions are rare and effective. To determine the relationship between body composition (BC), specifically low skeletal muscle mass (sarcopenia) and poor muscle quality (myosteatosis) and outcomes in emergency laparotomy patients. Emergency laparotomy has one of the highest morbidity and mortality rates of all surgical interventions. BC objectively identifies patients at risk of adverse outcomes in elective cancer cohorts, however evidence is lacking in emergency surgery. An observational cohort study of patients undergoing emergency laparotomy at ten English hospitals was performed. BC analyses were performed at the third lumbar vertebrae level using pre-operative CT images to quantify skeletal muscle index (SMI) and skeletal muscle radiation attenuation (SM-RA). Sex-specific SMI and SM-RA were determined, with the lower tertile splits defining sarcopenia (low SMI) and myost
