{"title":"Operative Treatment of Patients with Fractures During COVID-19","authors":"Kombate Noufanangue Kanfitine","doi":"10.46889/josr.2023.4310","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46889/josr.2023.4310","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: The objective of this work was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results; and the quality of life of patients with THA at final follow-up.\u0000\u0000Patients and Method: This was a prospective, multicenter, multi-operator study, which was carried out in patients with THA, between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2022. The clinical evaluation was carried out with the PMA, Devane and WOMAC activity scores. Radiologically, the analysis focused on the inclination of the cup, the peri-prosthetic lines and the bony integration of the implants.\u0000\u0000Results: 85 patients were re-evaluated out of 145; 60 were lost to follow-up including 16 due to death, the average follow-up was 5.85 years. The average age was 51.81 years (39-85). The functional scores were generally satisfactory at the last follow-up with a mean PMA, Devane and WOMAC score of 15.8 respectively; 2 and 76.54 and a rate of resumption of sexual intercourse after THA of 54.11%. The mechanical complications were: 8 revisions for prosthetic loosening, 4 wear and osteolysis, 02 periprosthetic margins. The patients were much more optimistic than the surgeon: 94.73% of the patients judged their results to be excellent or good while the surgeon only accepted 85.96%.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: Degenerative hip joint pathologies seem to be increasing due to the incidence of complications of sickle cell disease. The need for joint replacement is growing despite the still expensive cost. At the last follow-up, the overall results are satisfactory and a rate of resumption of sexual intercourse after THA of 54.11%. Chronic pain and muscle atrophy have had a significant impact on quality of life and sexual activity. Our study confirms the medium-term reliability of dual mobility with a survival rate of 90.60%. These results must be tempered because of the occurrence of long-term complications, linked to the risk of dual mobility in young subjects.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138943671","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}

Unstable trochanteric fractures include those with a reverse oblique fracture line, intertrochanteric comminution, big posteromedial fragment, subtrochanteric extension, a broken greater trochanter and lateral cortex breach. As per the AO Classification of intertrochanteric fractures, AO31-2.2, AO31-2.3, AO31-3.1, AO31-3.2 and AO31-3.3 fall under the category of unstable trochanteric fractures. Internal fixation is mandatory to provide early mobilization of patients with partial weight-bearing and prevent further compli&cations.\u0000\u0000Materials and Methods: 43 patients more than 18 years old with unstable trochanteric fractures, less than 3 weeks old trauma were included in the prospective study for 1 year period (1st June 2020 to 31st May 2021). 22 cases were treated with short Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) and 21 cases were treated with Proximal Femoral Locking Compression Plate (PFLCP).\u0000\u0000Results: (P<0.05), mean duration of surgery, blood loss was less in the PFN group (67minutes; 80mL) than PFLCP group (99 minutes; 152 ml). Union and partial weight-bearing was seen earlier in PFN group (14.1weeks; 10.6weeks) than in PFLCP group (18.7 weeks; 15.8weeks) (P<0.05).

This systematic review aims to synthesize the available literature on intraoperative fractures of the acetabulum and proximal femur during primary uncemented THA and highlight the incidence, risk factors, and potential preventive measures for these fractures, to improve patient outcomes and reduce the incidence of this complication.\u0000\u0000Methods: We conducted a thorough review in the PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane database and Scopus library, and extracted the articles describing the intraoperative acetabulum and femur fractures in primary cementless THA.\u0000\u0000Results: The initial search carried out produced 1792 results. After exclusion processing, 22 articles were included for the review. Of these, 16 were intraoperative fractures of the femur and 6 were intraoperative fractures of the acetabulum. Incidence of acetabular fractures was 0.49% and 2.7% for femoral fractures with female preponderance in both groups. Time of occurrence and location of the intra-operative fractures can vary widely, with femoral fractures occurring more commonly during broaching and acetabular fractures during cup implantation.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: A plethora of management options have been utilized according to surgeon preference and the fracture pattern as well as location.

He had a long-term symptomatic recovery after six weeks following a single autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Three years later he injured his right hip following a twisting injury to the right hip/gluteal area resulted in debilitating symptoms, USS scan revealed gluteus minimus/ medius calcific tendinosis, a partial split tear of the gluteus minimus, and trochanteric bursitis. He failed physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory medicine. He elected PRP therapy over CS injection, he became symptoms free six weeks after the injection. Teen weeks post-injection USS revealed a complete resolution of gluteus minimus tendon tear and no trochanteric bursitis, no clear tendinosis features but calcifications present.\u0000\u0000This case demonstrates the use of relatively safe affordable clinic-based PRP therapy for long-term symptomatic control of tendinopathy with/without a tear.

However, patients who undergo treatment with frames are followed closely to ensure that clinical and radiographic correction are satisfactory. Depending on the size of the state and the number of surgeons that offer frame treatment, patients may need to travel a long distance and frequently, to obtain care. We sought to characterize the number of clinical and surgical encounters, as well as the cumulative driving distance, for frame patients treated at a single academic health center.\u0000\u0000Methods: All patients treated with a hexapod frame for any etiology by three pediatric orthopaedic surgeons at a single children’s hospital over an 8-year period were investigated. Patients were queried for demographic data, number of non-surgical and surgical clinical encounters and number of days in the frame. Driving distance was calculated from the patients address to the academic health system\u0000\u0000address.\u0000\u0000Results: Thirteen patients qualified for inclusion (10 male, 3 female). Mean age at frame application was 14.6 years (range 4-31). Mean time in the frame was 150.5 days (range 90-207). Throughout the course of their frame treatment, patients had a mean of 16 non-surgical (range 5-26) encounters and a mean of 3 (range 2-6) surgical encounters. Mean one-way driving distance between the treating institution and the patient’s home was 77 miles (range 20-212 miles).

The frequent usage of the term idiopathic may indicate clinical incompetence. We describe a number of patients from our practice with a history of complex bone disorders who were falsely given the term idiopathic by other Institutes. The sole tool used by other Institutes to conclude osteoporosis as a diagnosis is the bone mineral density.\u0000\u0000Material and Methods: Two Austrian families and one unrelated adult female patient (total number of 12 subjects) have been referred to our department with referral letters confirming the diagnosis of idiopathic osteoporosis. All patients manifested a diverse constellation of skeletal deformities. In all these patients, regular courses of anti-resorptive treatment plus calcium and vitamin D supplements. These have been excessively prescribed. \u0000\u0000Results: Our diagnostic process which is based heavily on detailed clinical and radiological phenotypic characterizations, we refuted the diagnosis of idiopathic osteoporosis for all patients because of the clear-cut clinical features. For the first family, we suggested the diagnosis of a novel type of mucopolysaccharidosis (the genetic results confirmed the diagnosis of a novel subtype of mucopolysaccharidosis (through the identification of arylsulfatase K ARSK). For the second family which has been subjected to a lengthy useless investigation for almost more than a decade, we refuted the diagnosis of idiopathic osteoporosis and the whole exome sequencing was consistent with the phenotypic diagnosis Nasu-Hakola disease (heterozygous missense mutations in TYROBP gene). The other unrelated 42-year-old- female patient was correctly diagnosed with Nasu-Hakola disease.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: The objective of this study is to minimize and suppress the usage of the term idiopathic. It has been imperative to understand the sequence of pathological events that occurred in these families. The core for diagnosis is the etiological understanding, which stemmed from professional conscientiousness. Patients underwent misdiagnosis of idiopathic osteoporosis and were treated extensively with anti-resorptive agents, calcium supplements and vitamin D. Strikingly, these medications resulted in a combination of serious cranial and cerebral lesions because of massive pathological calcifications. Imaging analysis via conventional radiographs, MRI and CT scan showed massive calcifications of the cranial sutures, inter-clinoid ligaments and hyper-calcification of the skull base. Sadly speaking, early onset dementia emerged in connection with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy. We believe that the exogenous toxic effects of the huge amounts of bone supplements consumed by these patients enhanced the pre-existing metabolic bone and cerebral disorders. Our findings can ameliorate the etiological understanding of early onset dementia and other correlated cranial and skeletal lesions.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132269311","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}
