Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis reactivation years after the primary episode are a well-known phenomenon. However, there are few case reports documenting dormant Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis recurrence years later. Our case report of dormant Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus tibial osteomyelitis reactivation after 17-years, represents one of the longest documented recurrence intervals from initial bout of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus , as well as, the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges involved. Case report: A 55-year-old male reports suffering a Gustilo & Anderson grade 1 open left tibial plafond fracture in 2004 that was managed with wound debridement and Taylor Spatial Frame. Initial management was with debridement and primary closure of the wound and application of a Taylor spatial frame (TSF) as definitive management of the fracture. One month following application of the frame, the patient reports he suffered a pin site infection. This was found to be infected osteomyelitis MRSA. The wound underwent surgical debridement and once the fracture was consolidated enough at three months, removal of external frame and intramedullary reaming and irrigation was performed. No further soft tissue coverage was required. The patient was treated with a prolonged course of intravenous vancomycin, followed by oral clindamycin. Since this episode, the patient has been asymptomatic and denied any further hospitalisations and the patient returned to full function without any limitations. The patient does not report any recurrent wounds, discharge, sinus or pain. Seventeen years later, after a closed blow to the knee, the patient present febrile with knee pain. He was found to have Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus tibial osteomyelitis, most concentrated in the proximal medial tibial cortex. This was treated with targeted surgical debridement, an antibiotic nail and prolonged antibiotics. The patient has remained asymptomatic with apparent resolution of infection 6-months post. Conclusion: Our case report represents one of rare and longest document recurrence intervals of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus . Patients with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis should have appropriate treatment and follow-up with orthopaedic surgeons and infectious disease physicians to monitor disease progression and to ensure resolution of the infection.","PeriodicalId":161495,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopedics & Bone Disorders","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116546814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The difficulty of total hip replacement (THR) depends on tissue involvement around the joint, with the risk of severe blood loss. To evaluate the feasibility and outcome of hip replacement in this disease. Methods: Between 2010 and 2020, 4 patients with extensive VM of the limb and degenerative joint disease had a total hip replacement. Investigations included X-ray exams, T2 MRI with fat saturation, and hematologic tests. The main outcome end- points of the study were success of hip replacement, postoperative complications and quality of life. Results: Four patients underwent THR. Le sex ratio was (3 males, 1 female) with a median age of 37 years (range 27-55). All were symptomatic, with worsening hip pain and use of a mechanical aid. MRI identified VM in the muscles and cellular space of the buttock. The choice of surgical approach was anterior in three patients, and lateral in one. Mean blood loss was 1500mL. Surgery was completed by peroperative sclerotherapy to reduce blood loss (3 patients). The median follow-up time was 82 months (range 12- 120). There were no postoperative complications. At 6 months, three patients were walking with normal gait, and one was using an orthopedic walker after knee arthrodesis. There was no reoperation during the follow-up. All patients returned to their professional activities. Conclusion: The difficulty of total hip replacement depends on the extent of involved soft tissue around the hip area. The choice of surgical approach, surgical skill in vascular and orthopedic procedures and per-operative sclerotherapy permit to reduce surgical risk.","PeriodicalId":161495,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopedics & Bone Disorders","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129045127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hattori","doi":"10.23880/jobd-16000225","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23880/jobd-16000225","url":null,"abstract":"Background: This study aimed to assess the reliability of the posterior condylar axis (PCA), the most widely used alternative reference for the surgical transepicondylar axis (sTEA), as a reference for appropriate femoral rotational alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by comparing variances with other alternative reference axes. Methods: A total of 305 knees in 233 Japanese patients who underwent TKA due to varus knee osteoarthritis were assessed in this study. Variances and relationships between alternative references were determined. Angles of alternative reference axes relative to the sTEA in the axial plane were measured using computer software based on computed tomography. Results: The PCA line was 3.0°±1.8° (range, -2.1° to 8.8°) internally rotated relative to the sTEA. No significant differences were observed in the PCA angle relative to the sTEA angle between males and females. The variance with respect to the sTEA was significantly smaller in the order of anatomical transepicondylar axis (aTEA), PCA, and antero-posterior axis (APA). The variance of the APA and that of the femoral anterior tangent line (FAT) did not significantly differ, while the variance of the FAT was significantly smaller than that of the trochlear anterior line (TAL). The proportion of outliers for PCA (>3° away from the average value) was 9.8%. The PCA was weakly correlated with the aTEA, APA, FAT, and TAL. Conclusions: In terms of variance with respect to the sTEA, the PCA was second to aTEA in reliability as an alternative reference axis, and was on average 3.0°±1.8° internally rotated relative to the sTEA. Our findings suggest that the PCA is a reliable and reproducibly identifiable alternative axis for accurately determining femoral rotational alignment in TKA.","PeriodicalId":161495,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopedics & Bone Disorders","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126204127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For most patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS), nonsurgical treatment is successful. Surgical intervention is successful in patients who fail nonsurgical treatment. Surgeon experience and intraoperative assessment may guide the method of surgical treatment.

These positive clinical outcomes of the surgical approach make it a preferable treatment option despite the risks of radial nerve palsy and additional surgery-related risk. We aimed to evaluate patients' outcomes and return to work after surgical vs. non-surgical management of shaft humeral fracture. Methods: We used databases, including PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials from 2010 to January 2022 to search potential randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies comparing the patients' related outcome measures and return to work between surgical and non-surgical management of humerus fracture. Results: After carefully evaluating 1352 articles, we included three RCTs (232 patients) and one cohort study (39 patients). The surgical intervention used plate/ nail fixation, while the non-surgical intervention used splint or brace procedure to manage shaft humeral fracture. The pooled DASH effects of all three RCTs at six (M.D: -7.5 [-13.20, -1.89], P: 0.009) I2:44%) and 12 months (M.D: -1.32 [-3.82, 1.17], p:0.29, I2: 0%) were higher in patients treated surgically than in non-surgical procedures.
