Shen","doi":"10.46889/josr.2022.3308","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46889/josr.2022.3308","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Cement Penetration Depth (CPD) into bone is an important factor for successful Total Knee Arthroplasties (TKA). Our study investigated the effect of Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) on average tibial, femoral and total CPD in primary TKA.\u0000\u0000Methods and Findings: In this retrospective cohort study, patients who had a primary TKA between November 2018 and February 2020 at four, academic medical centers were included. CPD was evaluated according to the Knee Society Radiographic Evaluation System on radiographs one month post-operatively. Two independent evaluators measured four zones of tibial penetration and three zones of femoral penetration and averaged their results. The measurements were combined to create an average tibial, average femoral and average total CPD. SBP was collected at the 3/4 time of surgery length- the estimated time of cementation.\u0000\u00001221 primary TKA cases were included in the study – 1128 in the tourniquet group and 93 in the tourniquet-less group. There were no significant differences between the age, sex, BMI, or LOS between the two cohorts. A multiple, multivariate analysis was performed. In the tourniquet-less group, SBP did not significantly affect average tibial CPD (p=0.98), average femoral CPD (p=0.45), or average total CPD (p=0.23). However, tourniquet use was found to significantly increase average femoral (p<0.001) and total penetration (p=0.001). \u0000\u0000Conclusion: SBP did not significantly affect tibial, femoral, or total CPD in patients undergoing tourniquet-less, primary TKA. However, the use of a tourniquet significantly aids in average femoral and total CPD. The clinical significance of this difference needs further investigation.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126231584","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}

Kaissi","doi":"10.46889/josr.2022.3306","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.46889/josr.2022.3306","url":null,"abstract":"Background: A group of children presented with diverse forms of spine and joint pathologies in correlation with heritable bone disorders.\u0000\u0000Patients and Methods: Five children aged from 9 -13 years, presented with a constellation of growth retardation, craniofacial dysmorphic features, axial (scoliotic short and barrel chested with marked diminution of spine biomechanics) and painful enlarged joints and sometimes with the propensity to develop mal-alignment (knock knees). We included a 38-years-old-lady, a mother of an affected boy because of her long term history of joint pain and intractable tinnitus. Clinical and radiographic phenotypic characterizations were the first line tools applied. \u0000\u0000Results: The clinical and radiographic phenotypes of all five children were consistent with the diagnosis of Kniest dysplasia. Strikingly, the reason behind the tinnitus in the short statured 38-years-old- lady was due to congenital hypoplasia of the posterior arch of the atlas (the hypoplastic posterior arch of the atlas was in connection with the developmental failure of chondrogenesis). Two children underwent the genetic testing and showed a genetic defect of encoding type II collagen (COL2A1).\u0000\u0000Conclusion: Sadly speaking, soon after birth the vast majority of children born with skeletal dysplasia received the misdiagnosis of achondroplasia by their pediatricians and geneticists. In practice, a misdiagnosis can lead to hazardous repercussions for the affected children and their families. Correctly interpreting the clinical and the radiological phenotypes and relating them to etiologies is an essential basis for the proper management. In the field of hereditary bone disorders, the existence of mild and moderate forms of the same disease within other family subjects is a well-known fact (as seen in a 38-years-old- short statured- lady, a mother of an affected boy with Kniest dysplsia). To counter the overlooked maldevelopment of the atlanto-axial effectively, we need to delineate the disrupted anatomical structures of the craniocervical junction as early as possible. It is important to understand that many of these diseases are so mysterious and daunting that they frighten even some practitioners. Therefore, educating physicians is a priority.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130464362","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}

Surgical treatment is typically necessary and requires varied techniques of open fixation, intramedullary fixation, or revision arthroplasty, due to fracture classification. The aim of the study is to report the results obtained in the treatment of periprosthetic knee fractures, comparing the results of two surgical techniques, retrograde intramedullary nail and ORIF with plate and screws.\u0000\u0000At our institute, a sample of 23 patients with periprosthetic knee fracture were surgically treated.\u0000\u0000In detail, our patient cohort consisted of 13 women (56.52%) and 10 men (43.48%) with a mean age of 71.91 years (SD ± 12.05) whose mean follow-up was 19.14 months (SD ± 9.90). In terms of treatment, 7 of 23 patients (30.43%) were treated with retrograde Intramedullary Nail (IMN), 2 patients (8.70%) underwent to revision of the prosthesis and 14 patients (60.87%) were treated with plate and screws (ORIF). The clinical evaluation was performed using two different clinical scores as reference, the Lysholm score and the Sanders score.\u0000\u0000The goal of treatment of periprosthetic knee fractures should be an early mobilization of the patient, in order to reduce the risk of prolonged immobilization, limiting surgical risks.\u0000\u0000Intramedullary nailing reduces blood loss and provides for shorter surgical times. However, it does not allow an anatomical reduction of the fracture and it is not always possible to achieve, due to the conformation of the prosthetic box. The mean results obtained from the evaluation by Lysholm Score was 58.75 ± 10.46 in group treated with IMN and 63.60 ± 6,82 in the group treated with ORIF. Sanders Functional Evaluation Score was 63.60 ± 6,82 in group treated with IMN and 28.26 ± 6.01 in the groups treated with ORIF. The results obtained are similar to the literature. Student’s t-test showed no statistical significance (p-value >0.05). Fractures healed on average at 4 months. We observed a case of mobilization of the nail. Intramedullary nailing reduces blood loss and provides for shorter surgical times. However, it does not allow an anatomical reduction and it is not always possible to achieve, due to the conformation of the prosthetic box.\u0000\u0000The ORIF with plate and screws allows an anatomical reduction of the fracture, but involves in greater risks. It appears, therefore, more suitable in relatively young subjects. The reduction and synthesis with MIPO technique appears a good compromise. However, it is not very effective in comminuted and multi-fragmentary fractures.","PeriodicalId":382112,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125935387","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}
