Background There is ongoing controversy regarding optimal treatment for full-thickness rotator
cuff tears. Given that the evidence surrounding the use of various treatment options has …

Enzymatic reactions involving bilayer lipids occur in an environment with strict physical and
topological constraints. The integral membrane enzyme PagP transfers a palmitoyl group …

Background: Surgical simulation offers a low-risk learning environment with repetitive
practice opportunities for orthopaedic residents. It is increasingly prevalent in many training …

Background: Simulation-based learning is increasingly prevalent in the curricula of many
surgical training programs. Newly developed simulators must undergo rigorous validity testing …

This study provides the first biomechanical comparison of the fixation constructs that can be
created to treat transverse acetabular fractures when using the “gold-standard” posterior …

Background: Simulation-based learning is increasingly prevalent in many surgical training
programs, as medical education moves toward competency-based curricula. In orthopaedic …

The Escherichia coli outer membrane phospholipid:lipid A palmitoyltransferase PagP
exhibits remarkable selectivity because its binding pocket for lipid acyl chains excludes those …

The Escherichia coli outer membrane phospholipid:lipid A palmitoyltransferase PagP selects
palmitate chains using its β-barrel-interior hydrocarbon ruler and interrogates phospholipid …

Objective: The goal of this study was to compare a 3-hole versus a 4-hole sliding hip screw (SHS)
in the presence of a retrograde intramedullary (RIM) nail for fixing intertrochanteric and …

We sought to compare success and re-tear rates of surgically treated full-thickness tears of
the rotator cuff in men and women older than 18 years of age to develop a guideline intended …
