Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS), created by the National institute of Health, is a reliable and valid survey for patients with lumbar spine pathology. Preoperative opioid use has been shown to be an important predictor variable of self-reported health status in legacy patient reported outcome measures. PURPOSE To investigate the impact of chronic preoperative opiate use on PROMIS survey scores. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database analysis. PATIENT SAMPLE Between March 2019 and November 2021, 227 patients underwent lumbar decompression ± ≤ 2 level fusion. Fifty-seven patients (25.11%) had chronic preoperative opioid use. OUTCOME MEASURES Oswestry disability index (ODI) and PROMIS survey scores. METHODS A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained single center patient-reported outcome database was performed with a minimum of 2 year follow-up. PROMIS Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, Pain Interference (PI), Physical Function (PF), Sleep disturbance (SD), and Social Roles (SR) surveys were recorded at preoperative intake with subsequent follow-up at 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. Patients were grouped into chronic opioid users as defined by >6-month duration of use. Differences in mean survey scores were evaluated using Welch t-tests. RESULTS Two hundred and twenty-seven patients met our inclusion criteria of completed PROMIS surveys at the designated timepoints. A total of 57 (25.11%) were chronic opioid users (COU) prior to surgery. Analysis of patient-reported health outcomes shows that long term opioid use correlated with worse ODI and PROMIS scores at baseline compared to nonchronic users (NOU). At 1 and 2 year follow-up, the COU cohort continued to have significantly worse ODI, PROMIS Fatigue, PF, PI, SD, and SR scores. There is a statistical difference in the magnitude of change in health status between the 2 cohorts at 1 year follow-up in PROMIS Depression (-5.04±7.88 vs. -2.49±8.73, p=.042), PF (6.25±7.11 vs. 9.03±9.04, p=.019), and PI (-7.40±7.37 vs. -10.58±9.87, p=.011) and 2 year follow-up in PROMIS PF (5.58±6.84 vs. 7.99±9.64, p=.041) and PI (-6.71±8.32 vs. -9.62±10.06, p=.032). Mean improvement in PROMIS scores for the COU cohort at 2 year follow-up exceeded minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in all domains except PROMIS Depression, SR and SD. CONCLUSION Patients with chronic opioid use status have worse baseline PROMIS scores compared with patients who had nonchronic use. However, patients in the COU cohort displayed clinically significant postoperative improvement in multiple PROMIS domains. These results show that patients with chronic opioid use can benefit greatly from surgical intervention and will allow physicians to better set expectations with their patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the pivotal role of clinical trials in advancing orthopaedic oncology knowledge and treatment strategies, the persistent issues of trial discontinuation and nonpublication are significant problems. This study conducted an analysis examining clinical trial discontinuation rates, associations between intervention types and discontinuation/nonpublication, and the role of funding, enrollment size, and their implications for trial success and completion. METHODS This study, conducted on May 1, 2023, utilized a cross-sectional design to comprehensively analyze phase 3 and 4 randomized controlled trials within the realm of orthopaedic oncology. We specifically incorporated Phase 3 and 4 trials as they are designed to evaluate prolonged outcomes in human subjects and are more likely to reach publication. Study characteristics of interest included the intervention utilized in the clinical trial, presence of funding, whether the trial was published, completed, and trial enrollment size. The investigation involved an examination of ClinicalTrials.gov, a prominent online repository of clinical trial data managed by the National Library of Medicine of the USA. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regressions were used to determine statistical significance. RESULTS Among the cohort of 130 trials, 19.2% were prematurely discontinued. Completion rates varied based on intervention type; 111 pharmaceutical trials demonstrated a completion rate of 83.8%, whereas 19 non-pharmaceutical trials exhibited a completion rate of 8.0% (P < .001). Surgical trials, totaling 10, showed a completion rate of 90%. The overall trial publication rate was 86.15%, with pharmaceutical interventions achieving a publication rate of 91.96%. Larger-scale trials (≥ 261 participants) emerged as a protective factor against both discontinuation (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR]: 0.85, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.42-0.95) and nonpublication (AOR: 0.19, 95% CI 0.13-.47), compared to smaller-scale trials. CONCLUSION This study accentuates the heightened vulnerability of non-pharmaceutical interventions and trials exhibiting lower rates of enrollment to the issues of discontinuation and nonpublication. Moving forward, the advancement of clinical trials necessitates a concerted effort to enhance trial methodologies, especially concerning nonpharmaceutical interventions, along with a meticulous refinement of participant enrollment criteria.

Abstract
Background Orthopaedic surgery has the lowest number of full-time faculty positions held by women, at 19%, with endowed chairs among the most coveted and advantageous. We examined the characteristics of endowed professors from the US top 100 orthopaedic academic centers and highest-funded musculoskeletal (MSK) researchers to determine if gender is associated with endowed professorship. Additionally, we sought to determine if gender is associated with increased NIH funding for top-performing musculoskeletal researchers. Methods Our primary study group included the top 100 orthopaedic academic centers defined by US News World Report and Doximity's rankings. Our secondary study group examined the top MSK researchers, defined as principal investigators, who received >$400,000 in annual NIH funding from 2018 to 2021. Orthopaedic departments included MSK researchers and subspecialties within orthopaedics and medicine. Publicly available sources were used to compile institutional, gender, H-index, citation number, and subspecialty data on endowed professors; statistical comparisons were calculated. Results Within the top 100 orthopaedic academic departments, 4674 faculty were identified. Seven hundred and thirty-three (15.68%) were identified as women, 3941 as men (84.32%). One hundred and ninety-four held endowed professorships; 13 were awarded to women (6.7%), and 185 (95.3%) were awarded to men, with a significant odds ratio (OR) of 2.95, favoring men. For MSK researchers, the OR increases to 11.4. Arthroplasty and sports had the highest numbers of endowments. Significant differences in H-index, publications, and graduation year were identified between men and women for top MSK researchers and orthopaedic-trained surgeons; however, these differences disappeared when considering heterogenous orthopaedic departments that included medicine subspecialties, plastic surgery, hand surgery, and neurosurgery. Additional gender differences were observed in endowment names, with awards commemorating 51.5% men, 7.2% women, and 34% families or groups. Conclusion Gender inequities at the endowment level are substantial, and there are very few women in musculoskeletal medicine to achieve endowments. Differences in H-index, publications, and graduation year between men and women MSK researchers and orthopaedic-trained surgeons, but not combined orthopaedic, PM&R, and medical subspecialty departments, suggest unique challenges in orthopaedic surgery environments and histories that may contribute to endowment disparity. Gender was not found to be associated with funding bias for top-performing musculoskeletal researchers.

Abstract
Fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs) maintain healthy skeletal muscle in homeostasis but drive muscle degeneration in chronic injuries by promoting adipogenesis and fibrosis. To uncover how these stem cells switch from a pro-regenerative to pro-degenerative role we perform single-cell mRNA sequencing of human FAPs from healthy and injured human muscles across a spectrum of injury, focusing on rotator cuff tears. We identify multiple subpopulations with progenitor, adipogenic, or fibrogenic gene signatures. We utilize full spectrum flow cytometry to identify distinct FAP subpopulations based on highly multiplexed protein expression. Injury severity increases adipogenic commitment of FAP subpopulations and is driven by the downregulation of DLK1. Treatment of FAPs both in vitro and in vivo with DLK1 reduces adipogenesis and fatty infiltration, suggesting that during injury, reduced DLK1 within a subpopulation of FAPs may drive degeneration. This work highlights how stem cells perform varied functions depending on tissue context, by dynamically regulating subpopulation fate commitment, which can be targeted improve patient outcomes after injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review existing classification systems for degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS), propose a novel classification designed to better address clinically relevant radiographic and clinical features of disease, and determine the inter- and intraobserver reliability of this new system for classifying DS. METHODS The proposed classification system includes four components: 1) segmental dynamic instability, 2) location of spinal stenosis, 3) sagittal alignment, and 4) primary clinical presentation. To establish the reliability of this system, 12 observers graded 10 premarked test cases twice each. Kappa values were calculated to assess the inter- and intraobserver reliability for each of the four components separately. RESULTS Interobserver reliability for dynamic instability, location of stenosis, sagittal alignment, and clinical presentation was 0.94, 0.80, 0.87, and 1.00, respectively. Intraobserver reliability for dynamic instability, location of stenosis, sagittal alignment, and clinical presentation were 0.91, 0.88, 0.87, and 0.97, respectively. CONCLUSION The UCSF DS classification system provides a novel framework for assessing DS based on radiographic and clinical parameters with established implications for surgical treatment. The almost perfect interobserver and intraobserver reliability observed for all components of this system demonstrates that it is simple and easy to use. In clinical practice, this classification may allow subclassification of similar patients into groups that may benefit from distinct treatment strategies, leading to the development of algorithms to help guide selection of an optimal surgical approach. Future work will focus on the clinical validation of this system, with the goal of providing for more evidence-based, standardized approaches to treatment and improved outcomes for patients with DS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to provide a state-of-the-art review regarding risk factors for perioperative complications in adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. The review includes levels of evidence for risk factors associated with complications in ASD surgery. METHODS Using the PubMed database, we searched for complications, risk factors, and adult spinal deformity. The included publications were assessed for level of evidence as described in clinical practice guidelines published by the North American Spine Society, with summary statements generated for each risk factor (Bono et al. in Spine J 9:1046-1051, 2009). RESULTS Frailty had good evidence (Grade A) as a risk for complications in ASD patients. Fair evidence (Grade B) was assigned for bone quality, smoking, hyperglycemia and diabetes, nutritional status, immunosuppression/steroid use, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, and renal disease. Indeterminate evidence (Grade I) was assigned for pre-operative cognitive function, mental health, social support, and opioid utilization. CONCLUSIONS Identification of risk factors for perioperative complications in ASD surgery is a priority for empowering informed choices for patients and surgeons and managing patient expectations. Risk factors with grade A and B evidence should be identified prior to elective surgery and modified to reduce the risk of perioperative complications.

Abstract
Background Social determinants of health (SDOH), have been demonstrated to significantly impact health outcomes in spine patients. There may be interaction between opioid use and these factors in spine surgical patients. We aimed to evaluate the social determinants of health (SDOH) which are associated with perioperative opioid use among lumbar spine patients. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients undergoing spine surgery for lumbar degeneration in 2019. Opioid use was determined based on prescription records from the electronic medical records. Preoperative opioid users (OU) were compared with opioid-naïve patients regarding SDOH including demographics like age and race, and clinical data such as activity and tobacco use. Demographics and surgical data, including age, comorbidities, surgical invasiveness, and other variables were also collected from the records. Multivariate logistic regression was used for analysis of these factors. Results Ninety-eight patients were opioid-naïve and 90 used opioids preoperatively. All OU had ≥3 months of use, had more prior spine surgeries (1.07 vs. 0.44, p<.001) and more comorbidities including diabetes, hypertension, and depression (p=.021, 0.043, 0.017). Patients from lower community median income areas, unemployed, or with lower physical capacity (METS<5) were more likely to use opioids preoperatively. Postoperative opioid use was strongly associated with preoperative opioid use, as well as alcohol use, and lower community median income. At one year postoperatively, OU had higher rates of opioid use [72.2% vs. 15.3%, p<.001]. Conclusions Unemployment, low physical activity level, and lower community median income were associated with preoperative opioid use and longer-term opioid use postoperatively.

Abstract
Tandem pore domain (K2P) potassium channels modulate resting membrane potentials and shape cellular excitability. For the mechanosensitive subfamily of K2Ps, the composition of phospholipids within the bilayer strongly influences channel activity. To examine the molecular details of K2P lipid modulation, we solved cryo-EM structures of the TREK1 K2P channel bound to either the anionic lipid phosphatidic acid (PA) or the zwitterionic lipid phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). At the extracellular face of TREK1, a PA lipid inserts its hydrocarbon tail into a pocket behind the selectivity filter, causing a structural rearrangement that recapitulates mutations and pharmacology known to activate TREK1. At the cytoplasmic face, PA and PE lipids compete to modulate the conformation of the TREK1 TM4 gating helix. Our findings demonstrate two distinct pathways by which anionic lipids enhance TREK1 activity and provide a framework for a model that integrates lipid gating with the effects of other mechanosensitive K2P modulators.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify independent risk factors, including the Risk Assessment and Prediction Tool (RAPT) score, associated with extended length of stay (eLOS) and non-home discharge following elective multi-level instrumented spine fusion operations for diagnosis of adult spinal deformity (ASD) and lumbar degenerative pathology. METHODS Adults who underwent multi-level ([Formula: see text] segments) instrumented spine fusions for ASD and lumbar degenerative pathology at a single institution (2016-2021) were reviewed. Presence of a pre-operative RAPT score was used as an inclusion criterion. Excluded were patients who underwent non-elective operations, revisions, operations for trauma, malignancy, and/or infections. Outcomes were eLOS (> 7 days) and discharge location (home vs. non-home). Predictor variables included demographics, comorbidities, operative information, Surgical Invasiveness Index (SII), and RAPT score. Fisher's exact test was used for univariate analysis, and significant variables were implemented in multivariate binary logistic regression, with generation of 95% percent confidence intervals (CI), odds ratios (OR), and p-values. RESULTS Included for analysis were 355 patients. Post-operatively, 36.6% (n = 130) had eLOS and 53.2% (n = 189) had a non-home discharge. Risk factors significant for a non-home discharge were older age (> 70 years), SII > 36, pre-op RAPT < 10, DMII, diagnosis of depression or anxiety, and eLOS. Risk factors significant for an eLOS were SII > 20, RAPT < 6, and an ASA score of 3. CONCLUSION The RAPT score and SII were most important significant predictors of eLOS and non-home discharges following multi-level instrumented fusions for lumbar spinal pathology and deformity. Preoperative optimization of the RAPT's individual components may provide a useful strategy for decreasing LOS and modifying discharge disposition.

Abstract
K2P potassium channels are known to be modulated by volatile anesthetic (VA) drugs and play important roles in clinically relevant effects that accompany general anesthesia. Here, we utilize a photoaffinity analog of the VA isoflurane to identify a VA-binding site in the TREK1 K2P channel. The functional importance of the identified site was validated by mutagenesis and biochemical modification. Molecular dynamics simulations of TREK1 in the presence of VA found multiple neighboring residues on TREK1 TM2, TM3, and TM4 that contribute to anesthetic binding. The identified VA-binding region contains residues that play roles in the mechanisms by which heat, mechanical stretch, and pharmacological modulators alter TREK1 channel activity and overlaps with positions found to modulate TASK K2P channel VA sensitivity. Our findings define molecular contacts that mediate VA binding to TREK1 channels and suggest a mechanistic basis to explain how K2P channels are modulated by VAs.
