“…Case management CRs in the fourth-fastest growing category, Diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99), began with the first publication in 1986 [ 68 ], with the yearly volume peaking in 2014. Examples include CRs in which chiropractors suspected and referred patients with vertebral artery dissection [ 69 – 71 ], ischemic stroke [ 72 ], hemorrhagic stroke [ 73 ], upper [ 74 , 75 ] and lower [ 76 , 77 ] extremity deep vein thrombosis, abdominal aortic aneurysm [ 68 , 78 – 81 ], intracranial aneurysm [ 82 ], popliteal aneurysm [ 83 ], myocardial infarction [ 84 ] and subdural hematoma [ 85 ].…”

Objective To determine publication trends, gaps, and predictors of citation of chiropractic case reports (CRs). Methods A bibliometric review was conducted by searching PubMed, Index to Chiropractic Literature (ICL), and Google Scholar to identify PubMed-indexed CRs, which were screened according to selection criteria. Case reports were categorized by International Classification of Disease (ICD-10) code, patient age, topic describing case management or adverse effects of care, focus being spinal or non-spinal, journal type, integrative authorship, title metrics, and citation metrics. Binary logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of citations per year and total citations greater than the median values. Results The search identified 1176 chiropractic CRs meeting selection criteria. There was an increasing trend of CRs having a case management topic, non-spinal focus, non-chiropractic journal, neuromusculoskeletal-focus, diagnosis of vascular pathology, and a decreasing trend of adverse effect vascular pathology CRs. Independent predictors of greater total citations (or citation rate) included ICD-10 categories of perinatal conditions, infections, “case” in title, case management topic, and physical therapy, integrative, and dental journal type. Predictors of fewer citations included diseases of the blood, neoplasms, other findings not elsewhere classified, a title > 11 words, and multidisciplinary authorship. ICD-10 categories describing non-musculoskeletal diseases and special populations such as pediatrics, pregnancy, and perinatal conditions had few CRs. Conclusion Chiropractic CRs are diversifying from spine-related topics. Chiropractors are encouraged to publish objective, structured CRs within defined research gaps. Published CRs can inform the design of future research studies with a higher level of clinical relevance and evidence.

“…There is a high incidence after acute rupture of the Achilles tendon and after major orthopedic surgery. 3,[5][6][7] Occurrence during preparation for surgical repair of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has, to the best of our knowledge, not been reported. DVT have a penchant for chronicity and may have dire complications, such as post-thrombotic syndrome, pulmonary embolism (PE), or death, 1 if left inappropriately managed.…”

This case raises awareness that DVT may occur in a healthy individual after periodic immobilization. While there may be controversy regarding the appropriate application of pharmaceutical anticoagulants in patients with DVT of the leg, the most risk averse strategy is for a short duration prescription medication with compression stockings. Through interdisciplinary management, the patient experienced a successful outcome.
