Factors such as temperature and humidity may affect the number of ABPs which can increase the risk of infection. Comparisons of ABP count between Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) have yet to be made. Our study examines the differences in ABP count between primary THA and TKA procedures.\u0000\u0000Methods: We analyzed all primary TJA procedures done within the same OR at an academic institution from April 2019 to June 2020. All procedures between the dates of March 15, 2020 – May 4, 2020 were excluded to avoid COVID-related confounding. Intraoperative measurements of temperature, humidity, and ABP count per minute were recorded. A report containing surgical data from the same time was generated using the institution’s Electronic Health Records (EHR) system and cross-referenced to the intraoperative measurements using procedure start and end times. ABP was calculated as an average ABP count per minute. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate differences in variables of interest. P-values were calculated using t-test for continuous variables and chi square for categorical values.\u0000\u0000Results: A total of 168 cases were included in the study, comprised of 98 (58.3%) primary THA and 70 (41.7%) primary TKA. No significant differences in room temperature or particle counts across all particle sizes were found between THA and TKA groups. Similarly, time spent in the room was not significantly different between THA and TKA. The only variable that was significantly different between the two groups was average relative humidity, with higher humidity in the THA group (46.9% + 7.56 vs 44.4% + 8.02, p=0.008). \u0000\u0000Conclusion: There were no significant differences in temperature or particle count between primary THA and primary TKA procedures, suggesting OR air quality was similar between the two procedure types. Further investigation including additional variables such as OR size, airflow patterns, and different procedure types should be performed to better characterize the role of ABPs in air quality and infection risk.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132747735","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}

It has gained interest recently because of its faster short-term recovery, despite concerns about increased complications and operative time, especially during the learning curve period. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether complications of transitioning to a direct anterior approach for primary total hip arthroplasty may impair patient safety.\u0000\u0000Methods: A total of 51 primary hip arthroplasties were performed in 44 patients with the direct anterior approach technique: 37 unilateral arthroplasties and 7 bilateral arthroplasties, during the first 3 years of the learning curve of this technique and their complications were analyzed.\u0000\u0000Results: No patient had severe complications or surgical reinterventions associated to transoperative complications. Tearing of the tensor fascia lata muscle was on average the most frequent complication (19.6%), followed by skin lesions (17.6%), difficulty in implant reduction (9.8%) and fractures of the greater trochanter (7.8%). No severe complications occurred.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the transition to the direct anterior approach can be done safely without a significant complication rate. These complications are usually associated with the use of inadequate special instruments, inadequate patient selection and the knowledge of maneuvers of the surgeon and his team acquired during the experience and development of the technique. Even so, they do not require additional treatment, which allows us to conclude that this technique is reproducible and can be safely transitioned.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126417433","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}

Specifically, we will review the existing literature to determine how suture configuration, number of sutures, type of sutures, and osteotomy size all influence the biomechanics of an LTO repair.\u0000\u0000Methods: A systematic review was performed in which one reviewer searched PubMed to find studies analyzing biomechanical strength of lesser tuberosity osteotomy repairs after a total shoulder arthroplasty. The following keywords were used to retrieve articles: (biomechanical) and (Lesser Tuberosity Osteotomy) or (LTO) or (subscapularis repair) and (total shoulder).\u0000\u0000Results: Nine studies met inclusion criteria. LTO was the strongest, most durable repair in most biomechanical studies. However, the biomechanical testing protocols and repair techniques widely varied throughout the literature. Dual row repair with sutures wrapped around the stem as well thin LTO fragments showed superior biomechanical outcomes. There has been minimal literature focusing on how the number, size and type of suture utilized in a repair affect biomechanical outcomes.\u0000\u0000Discussion: While the LTO repair technique has been demonstrated in multiple studies to be a biomechanically superior method of subscapularis repair in the setting of TSA, there has not been a single study which has analyzed the effects of repair technique, osteotomy size, as well as suture number/type/size using a standardized biomechanical testing protocol.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122145148","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}

It affects females more frequently than males. The quantity and quality of coping resources that a person may have at their disposal affect the coping style they ultimately choose. The purpose of this study was to examine how the socio-demographic features of older women in Beni-Suef city who were experiencing knee Osteoarthritis (OA) pain affected their coping mechanisms.\u0000\u0000Design: The current study used a descriptive cross-sectional research design. The investigation was conducted in the orthopaedics outpatient clinic and the physiotherapy unit at Beni-Suef University Hospital.\u0000\u0000Subjects: In the current study, 300 studied women were recruited using a non-probability consecutive sampling technique.\u0000\u0000Tools: Pain Coping Inventory (PCI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Interview Questionnaire\u0000\u0000Results: Based on the visual analogue scale for measuring pain intensity. It demonstrates that 50% of the older women in the study had low coping skills, 49.3% experienced moderate pain, 50.3% had moderate and 50.3% had severe pain. Younger (65-70 years old), women with intermediate education (38.5% and 32.7%), women who were retired and unemployed (48.1% and 32.7%), married (92.3%), women who lived in rural areas (53.8%) and elderly adult women with an adequate family income (92.3%) were more likely to use high levels of coping strategies.

The natural history of chronic/unusual disorders can be a precise key factor towards a successful diagnostic process. \u0000\u0000Material and Methods: Three unrelated children aged 18-months, 2 and 7 year (two boys and one girl) presented with generalised skeletal mal-development compatible with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. However, in the early months of life these children have been diagnosed with early infancy insulin dependent diabetes. Strikingly, all manifested Wormian bones over the lambdoid sutures. In addition to Progressive malalignment of the lower limbs and thoracic kyphosis associated with significant growth deficiency were the major skeletal abnormalities. Endochondral ossification was diffusely affected associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and appearance of irregular and fragmented epiphyses. \u0000\u0000Results: Based on early permanent neonatal or early-infancy insulin-dependent diabetes, associated with the clinical and radiological phenotypic characterizations of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and growth retardation as the major abnormalities in these children. Wolcott-Rallison syndrome was the highly likely diagnosis. The most interesting findings in this study; The Wormian bones, not only involved the lambdoid sutures, but also extended to involve the occipitomastoid suture. We confirmed our diagnosis via sequence analysis which revealed a homozygous nonsense gene mutation (EIF2AK3) resulting in a premature stop codon (c.2707 C>T, p.R903X). Parents in two families were identified as heterozygous carriers of this mutation.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: The significance of this study is to point out the importance of analysing the skull bones in children with skeletal dysplasia. Interestingly, for the first time we detected the downward bulging of the occiput because of the abundancy of the Wormian bones (sites of maximal skull bone fragility) along the lambdoid and the occipito-mastoid sutures is by itself a highly alarming sign of progressive weakness of the weight-bearing zone (which is represented by the lambdoid and the occipitomastoid sutures). The exerting load of the cerebrum on these vulnerable and soft sutures can lead to brain swelling (a serious condition). Despite that lower limb defects in children are the most frequent deformities encountered in the departments of paediatric orthopaedics, because of the real or apparent detrimental effect that they have on gait and upright activity, and it draw immediate and alarming attention to parents. But, nevertheless, it is the responsibility of physicians to pay prompt attention for the necessity to scrutinize the skulls and the craniocervical junction in patients with long term bone disorders.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130135019","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}

Small and dysplastic patellae accompanied by hypoplasia of the lateral femoral condyle may results in recurrent subluxation or dislocation of the patellae, knee discomfort and pain. We aimed to detect the underlying etiology of every single patient.\u0000\u0000Patients and Methods: A total of seven children presented with long term painful knee joints have been refered from the departments of rheumatology. We added adult female patient of a-35-years-old. She was a chronic client of rheumatology clinics since her postadulthood. In addition to her early life knee pain. Recently she experienced additional chronic pain of the groin (located at the posterior buttocks). All our patients showed episodes of knee pain with variable intensity as a constant complaint and all received antirheumatic treatments for years despite the negative results of the implemented tests. In order to commence the diagnostic process, clinical and radiological phenotypic characterization were the main core of our stratregy followed by molecular genetic confirmation.\u0000\u0000Results: Seven unrelated children (aged from 8-17 years old) were consistent with the diagnosis of Nail- Patella syndrome. The adult female patient of a-35-years-old- manifested patellar instability since her early childhood. Her clinical phenotype was totally compatible with the diagnosis of Nail-Patella syndrome. Surprisingly, the clinical examination of the female patient and the standing AP pelvis radiograph revealed massive encroachment of the medial aspect of the femoral neck and the lesser trochanters onto the ischium. The latter resulted in the diagnosis of Ischiofemoral Impingement (IFI) syndrome. Her genetic tests showed heterozygous mutation in the LIM-homeodomain protein LMX1B on chromosome 9q33.\u0000\u0000Conclusion: Arthralgia associated with abnormal gait (mostly antalgic gait and waddling gait) was the paramount clinical presentation in all our patients. Dysplasia of the nails and patellar instability were the characteristic clinical findings in our patients with the definite diagnosis of osteo-onychodysplasia syndrome.
