{"title":"Leave it Alone: Ulnar Nerve Management in Distal Humerus Fracture Fixation – A Large Database Study","authors":"Bijan Dehghani, Thompson Zhuang, R. DeAngelis, Mitchell Hallman, Kelsey Young, Derek J Donegan, Samir Mehta","doi":"10.60118/001c.89077","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.60118/001c.89077","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Objectives: To determine the impact of intra-operative ulnar nerve manipulation during distal humerus open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) on post-operative ulnar neuritis. Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort analysis using the PearlDiver Mariner Database. Patients undergoing ORIF of distal humerus fractures were identified using Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) codes. Concurrent ulnar nerve transposition, neuroplasty, or neurolysis was defined using CPT-64718, occurring on the same day as the index procedure. Patients with pre-existing ulnar neuropathy within one year prior to the index procedure were excluded. The incidence of delayed ulnar neuropathy, occurring at least 2 weeks post-operatively, was compared at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Multivariable logistic regression models were employed to evaluate the association between ulnar nerve transposition, neuroplasty, or neurolysis and the development of delayed ulnar neuropathy, adjusting for the effects of age, sex, insurance type, and Elixhauser comorbidity index. Results: 16,881 patients who underwent distal humerus ORIF were identified, of which 2,016 (11.9%) received concurrent ulnar nerve transposition, neuroplasty, or neurolysis. The cohorts differed by age and insurance type (p<0.001). Ulnar neuropathy between 2 weeks and 1 year occurred in 191/2,016 (9.5%) patients who received ulnar nerve transposition, neuroplasty, or neurolysis and 742/14,865 (5.0%) patients who did not (p < 0.001). Ulnar nerve transposition, neuroplasty, or neurolysis was associated with increased odds of delayed ulnar neuropathy at all time points (p<0.001). Conclusion: Ulnar nerve transposition, neuroplasty, or neurolysis at the time of distal humerus ORIF was associated with an increased incidence of delayed post-operative ulnar neuritis.","PeriodicalId":298624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Experience & Innovation","volume":"61 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139960241","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}

However, postoperative pain can be significant, and is a factor in extending hospitalizations, readmissions, and poor outcomes. HTX-011 (ZYNRELEF™) is an extended-release, dual-acting, local anesthetic consisting of bupivacaine and low-dose meloxicam within a tri(ethylene glycol) poly(orthoester) (TEG-POE) based technology Biochronomer™ polymer for drug delivery. Due to its semi-viscous solution, ZYNRELEF is applied directly onto the pain-generating tissue within the surgical site and stays in the location where it is applied. As a result of dissatisfaction with standard of care injections of ropivacaine, epinephrine, clonidine, ketorolac (RECK), as well as a need to perform more TKAs and THAs in an outpatient setting because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the author began using ZYNRELEF to explore its use in a real-world setting based on positive clinical trial data. A retrospective review was conducted of TKA and THA procedures performed at a single hospital in the United States between February and July of 2022. A standard multimodal pain protocol was used in addition to ZYNRELEF during the surgical procedure. Several patient outcomes were assessed including pain, infection rates, readmission, and acute renal injury. Of the 100 TKAs and 57 THAs performed, most patients (81%) experienced mild pain postoperatively. There were no cases of infection or acute renal injury. Few (3%) patients were readmitted (for any reason). When used as part of a multimodal pain protocol, ZYNRELEF is safe and effective in a real-world, outpatient setting.","PeriodicalId":298624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Experience & Innovation","volume":"85 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139596649","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 cables can be cumbersome, routed across or around the patient, and risk bridging the sterile and nonsterile fields. ArthroFree®, a wireless surgical camera for arthroscopy, features wireless communication and battery power and was designed to eliminate cable-associated burdens. An iterative product development process established the usability of ArthroFree. Feedback on ArthroFree’s design was received from 88 participants (82 surgeons and 6 other medical professionals) on ergonomics, ease of use, image quality, and patient experience following design validation testing (pre-FDA clearance; 76 participants) or clinical evaluation (post-FDA clearance; 12 participants). Participants were trained on the use of ArthroFree and then used the device in a surgical procedure performed on a cadaver, simulated model, or patient. Their experience was evaluated in a 13-statement human factors survey scored using a 5-point Likert scale. ArthroFree scored well in all survey statements, scoring “good” or “excellent” (4.5 mean score), suggesting users’ needs were satisfied in 91.30% of participants. Additionally, one-on-one interviews with surgeons gathered qualitative feedback on their independent experience with the ArthroFree device, providing key support for its introduction to the operating room.","PeriodicalId":298624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Experience & Innovation","volume":"12 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139609878","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}
