What If a Resident or Medical Student Is Raped? Hospitals' and Academic Medical Centers' Title IX Obligations

The American Federation for Medical Research (AFMR) continues its series of articles that address the challenges faced by academic medical centers and other institutions in developing medical scientists. The goal of this series is to assist leaders at academic medical centers in addressing the challenges for training the next generation of health care investigators. In addition, we hope to educate junior investigators and trainees on the many issues that their facilitators and mentors face in developing adequate programs for training and career development.Our second interview in this series is with Michael John McPhaul, MD, and it focuses on developing research interests among medical students. Dr. McPhaul is professor of medicine in the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, at the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas. He is associate dean for medical student research and the program leader of the UT Southwestern Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellowship for Medical Students. Dr. McPhaul has a productive research laboratory focused on the mechanisms of androgen action. His laboratory is well funded and quite productive because he has published over 100 articles. He has been successful in his endeavors in supporting and fostering medical student research interests over the last several years and has assisted in the development of some novel programs. We are happy to have the opportunity for Dr. McPhaul to give his thoughts on how research interests and skills can be developed in medical students.

Wrist Arthroplasty

Background: Total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) is a treatment option for many debilitating wrist conditions. With recent improvements in implant design, indications for TWA have broadened. However, despite these improvements, there are still complications associated with TWA, such as unplanned reoperation and eventual implant removal. The goal of this study was to identify risk factors for an unplanned reoperation or implant revision after a TWA at 2 academic medical centers between 2002 and 2015. Methods: In this retrospective study, 24 consecutive TWAs were identified using CPT codes. Medical records were manually reviewed to identify demographic, patient- or disease-related, and surgery-related risk factors for reoperation and implant removal after a primary TWA. Results: Forty-six percent of wrists (11 of 24 TWAs performed) had a reoperation after a median of 3.4 years, while 29% (7 of 24) underwent implant revision after a median of 5 years. Two patients had wrist surgery prior to their TWA, both eventually had their implant removed ( P = .08). There were no risk factors associated with reoperation or implant removal. Conclusion: Unplanned reoperation and implant removal after a primary TWA are common. Approximately 1 in 3 wrists are likely to undergo revision surgery. We found no factors associated with reoperation or implant removal; however, prior wrist surgery showed a trend toward risk of implant removal after TWA.
