All patients were followed at least two years post-operative. Union rate, time to union, need to device removal, and Constant-Murley score (CMS) were assessed among them. \u0000Results: In all patients, the bony union was achieved without wound-related complications. The mean time to union in distal radius volar T plate group was 3.3 ± 0.6 months and in the pre-contoured locking plate group was 3.6 ± 0.7 (P = 0.14). The mean CMS was 93.1 ± 2.2 and 92.1 ± 2.5 in T plate group and pre-contoured plate group, respectively (P = 0.09). Five cases with T plate and eight cases with pre-contoured plate were candidates for device removal (P = 0.53). \u0000Conclusion: Distal radius volar T plate could be a reasonable choice to manage Neer 2b distal clavicle fracture as it restores functional range of motion (ROM) with excellent bone union and without the necessity of device removal, besides its economical price.","PeriodicalId":34870,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopedic and Spine Trauma","volume":"80 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140433864","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}

Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic drug that inhibits the production of plasminogen. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TXA use for blood loss reduction and the need for blood transfusion in patients with fractures of the pelvis or acetabulum. \u0000Methods: 108 patients were recruited from two tertiary care hospitals and assigned evenly either to the intervention (TXA) or the control group. TXA group received 15 mg/kg TXA 30 minutes before the fracture reduction and fixation surgery. The number of transfused blood units before, during, and after the surgery was recorded. Blood loss was assessed by calculation of estimated blood loss (EBL), collected blood with drain, collected blood with suction, and weight of the used gauzes during the surgery. The time between fracture occurrence and the surgery, the duration of the surgery, and the days of admission were assessed. \u0000Results: The mean age was 39.49 ± 15.81 years, and 69.4% were women. 6 patients had pelvic, and 102 patients had acetabulum fractures. The duration of the surgery was not significantly different. The time gap between the reconstructive surgery and fracture occurrence was significantly higher in the TXA group (P = 0.032). The mean postoperative hospitalization time was significantly lower among TXA group patients (P = 0.037). The mean hemoglobin (Hb) in the TXA group was significantly higher, postoperatively (P = 0.028). The mean EBL, the blood volume collected by suction or drain, the weight of the consumed gauze during the surgery, and the number oftransfused blood units were significantly lower in the TXA group. The transfusion rate was significantly lower in patients with a shorter time gap between fracture occurrence and reduction surgery (P = 0.021). \u0000Conclusion: TXA can decrease blood loss, the transfused blood units during and after the operation, and hospital admission days. Moreover, it did not increase the chance of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the patients receiving TXA; thus, it can be assumed as a safe and efficient drug in patients with acetabulum or pelvis fractures.","PeriodicalId":34870,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopedic and Spine Trauma","volume":"50 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140433918","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}

 Case Report: Here, we report an eight-year-old boy who complained of pain and loss of range of motion (ROM) in the right hip. Radiological and pathological studies revealed GCT of the femoral head with joint expansion. We treated the patient by wide resection and osteochondral allograft reconstruction.

Kirschner-wiring (K-wiring) was used in the past for fixation; however, rates of fixation failure and pin-track infection were high. Fixation with two screws and a figure-of-eight wiring provides a stable fixation in children younger than 15 years. Herein, we used a modified lateral approach and a figure-of-eight construct with two screws and evaluated the outcome.
 Methods: A case series comprising 35 patients out of the total of 54 patients who underwent modified French osteotomy between January 2013 to December 2021 was conducted retrospectively. Functional outcomes were assessed using the modified Mayo Elbow Performance Scoring (MEPS) system.
 Results: There were 22 male and 13 female subjects in the study group. We had excellent results in 16 cases, good outcomes in 13 cases, and fair outcomes in 6 cases. Superficial infection was seen in three patients and four patients had occasional negligible pain. In addition, there was no loss of correction or fixation failures in our study.
 Conclusion: Modified French osteotomy using two screws and figure-of-eight wiring is a simple and safe procedure that yields satisfactory outcomes. A careful preoperative planning, sufficient surgical technique, and stable fixation are key to achieving satisfactory functional outcomes.","PeriodicalId":34870,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopedic and Spine Trauma","volume":"5 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136157852","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}

Delays in the identification and initiation of effective treatments should be minimized to improve patient pain and optimize outcomes. This case report aims to underscore the successful treatment of chronic dystonia with the use of mood-modifying serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), and encourage clinicians to consider a diagnosis of functional (psychogenic) movement disorder in patients with dystonia that is refractory to usual treatment.
 Case Report: This case report describes a 40-year-old woman who presented to a chronic pain clinic for pain related to cervical dystonia with associated head tremor. Her symptoms were refractory to nearly a decade of quarterly botulinum toxin injections. Based on careful evaluation of the patient’s history, a normal neurological examination, increased Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Injustice Experiences Questionnaire (IEQ) scores, and unsuccessful symptom management with botulinum toxin A, a diagnosis of functional movement disorder (FMD) was made. Low-dose Cymbalta was initiated. The patient achieved near complete symptom remission and resolution of her chronic pain within 2 months and achieved near complete resolution in 2 years.
 Conclusion: A diagnosis of FMD should be considered in all patients with dystonia, but especially in patients who respond inadequately to botulinum toxin injections or other rehabilitation therapies. The treatment of comorbid psychiatric conditions can result in substantial benefits and remission from dystonia due to FMD.","PeriodicalId":34870,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopedic and Spine Trauma","volume":"57 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136157491","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}

Various classifications have been proposed for KD based on radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), arthroscopy, and morphology from 1947 to 2017. Recently, the pioneers of KD (Lichtman and Bain) proposed a new classification based on all the previous classifications (radiography, MRI, and arthroscopy).
