Postoperative Radiation Does Not Decrease Risk of Heterotopic Ossification after Acetabulum Fracture Fixation / Bier Block Regional Anesthesia vs Hematoma Block for Closed Distal Radius Reduction

About this episode

The episode discusses two studies on postoperative radiation and regional anesthesia techniques in orthopedic procedures.

Host Malcolm DeBaun, MD chats with paper authors Jeremy Adelstein, MD, and Josh Napora, MD about their results in: "Postoperative Radiation Does Not Decrease Risk of Heterotopic Ossification after Acetabulum Fracture Fixation" in the first part of this episode. Link to abstract Dr. DeBaun references for thrombin gel treatment of HO. In the second part of this episode, Mark Gage, MD chats with paper author Lucas Marchand, MD about his study findings in "Bier Block Regional Anesthesia versus Hematoma Block for Closed Distal Radius Reduction: A Randomized Controlled Trial."
