PROMIS physical function and pain perform poorly psychometrically in patients undergoing medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction
The purpose of this study was to assess the validity, floor and ceiling effects, and dimensionality of PROMIS Physical Function (PF) and Pain compared to legacy patient reported outcome (PRO) measures in patie...

Machine-learning model successfully predicts patients at risk for prolonged postoperative opioid use following elective knee arthroscopy
Recovery following elective knee arthroscopy can be compromised by prolonged postoperative opioid utilization, yet an effective and validated risk calculator for this outcome remains elusive. The purpose of th...

Outcomes are comparable using free bone block autografts versus allografts for the management of anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss: a systematic review and meta-analysis of “The Non-Latarjet”
Glenoid augmentation using free bone blocks for anterior shoulder instability has been proposed as an alternative to or bail-out for the Latarjet procedure. The purpose of this investigation was to systematica...

Article
Procedure length is independently associated with overnight hospital stay and 30-day readmission following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
The purpose was to characterize the independent effect of procedure length on the rates of 30-day perioperative complications, hospital readmissions, and overnight hospital stay in patients undergoing arthrosc...

Techniques for optimization via simulation: an experimental study on an (s,S) inventory system
Various methods have been proposed to conduct optimization via discrete-event simulation. Prevalent among these are gradient-based algorithms, and more recently, so-called retrospective approaches that determi...

Optimization via simulation: A review
We review techniques for optimizing stochastic discrete-event systems via simulation. We discuss both the discrete parameter case and the continuous parameter case, but concentrate on the latter which has domi...
