Disc-Fx is a relatively new minimally invasive, percutaneous nucleo-annuloplasty procedure aimed to alleviate symptoms of discogenic back pain via manual discectomy with nuclear and annular modification via means of radiofrequency ablation. The aim of this retrospective study is to report the 1-year outcomes, efficacy and safety of the percutaneous nucleo-annuloplasty procedure for treatment of discogenic back pain in the local Hong Kong population. This retrospective study consists of 16 patients with a total of 24 levels from 2017 to –2019 with at least 6 months of chronic back pain failing conservative management, MRI-confirmed disc degeneration, and who have undergone percutaneous nucleo-annuloplasty via Disc-Fx procedure. All patients had plain radiography and magnetic resonance imaging prior to procedure. Percutaneous nucleo-annuloplasty was only performed in patients with confirmed discogenic back pain via a positive provocative test on discography. The mean functional outcome of Oswestry Disability Index improved from 46.25 points preoperatively to 24.12 at the of 1-year follow-up (p-value = 0.00). The Numerical Pain Rating Scale improved from 6.25 points to 4.4 points (p-value: 0.01) and 14.56 points to 8.85 points (p-value = 0.01) at preoperative to 1-year post-procedure respectively. There were no reported procedural related complications in the study population. The procedure of percutaneous nucleo-annuloplasty shows to be a relatively safe procedure that can be considered in patients with discogenic back pain. Larger studies would be desired to draw further conclusions about its efficacy.","PeriodicalId":42408,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedics Trauma and Rehabilitation","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81226707","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 Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center provided exercises for preventing the most common injuries in cycling. We aimed to survey the compliance with Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center exercises among cyclists in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. It is expected that most cyclists in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries are implementing these exercises as part of their warm-up sessions. Methods This cross-sectional online survey collected the participants’ demographic characteristics (country, age, and sex) and assessed their compliance with the programme. Results Four-hundred and twenty-three cyclists responded, of which 52% were aged 20–29 years. The pelvic control exercise was the most implemented (56%), followed by the elephant and isolated pelvic rotation exercises (54%); the single-leg pelvic rotation exercise was the least implemented (46%). The implementation rate did not differ significantly according to age or country. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait reported the highest mean implementation scores, while the United Arab Emirates reported the lowest Conclusions The implementation rate of Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center exercises was low among cyclists in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

Standard hip precautions are thought to enhance soft-tissue healing and reduce dislocations. However, lifestyle restrictions affect a patient’s rehabilitation, quality of life (QOL), and satisfactions. We aim to compare conventional (CP) and minimal hip precautions (MP) after THA. Methods: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data in posterolateral approach THA. Chief surgeon assigns patients to CP or MP group. CP group had to sleep supine, used elevated toilet seats and chairs, avoid hip flexion greater than 90°, and no internal rotation or adduction for 6 weeks. MP group had no restrictions in hip movements, except for the combined flexion, adduction and internal rotation. All had a minimum 1-year follow-up. The number of dislocations, length of stay (LOS), time to independent toileting, Harris Hip Scores, QOL, and health perceptions, assessed by EuroQol 5D-5L, was compared between CP and MP groups. Results: Fifty-five THAs were included. CP group consisted of 17 primary and 12 revision THAs; MP group consisted of 21 primary and 5 revision THAs. There were two dislocations and both are revisions in CP group. Overall rate of dislocation was 6.9% in CP group and no dislocation in MP group (p-value > 0.05). MP group had shorter LOS (12 vs 19 days, p-value 0.04), higher EQ5D-5L health perception scores at 1-year (81.7 vs 70.9, p-value 0.01). Conclusion: MP group had shorter LOS and better health perceptions 1-year after THA with no increase in dislocation rates.","PeriodicalId":42408,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedics Trauma and Rehabilitation","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77876110","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}

This study reviews the potential factors affecting the one-year mortality rate after lower limb amputation in the Hong Kong Chinese population. Methods Cases with lower limb amputations (toe, ray, below-knee, and above-knee amputations) from a regional hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 were recruited. Amputations due to trauma were excluded. The one-year mortality rate and the potential risk factors (age, sex, length-of-stay, multiple operations, extent of surgery (minor vs. major), medical comorbidities including (1) end-stage renal failure (ESRF), (2) cardiac diseases, (3) ischemic heart disease, (4) peripheral vascular disease and (5) diabetes mellitus) were analyzed by multiple logistic regression using Matlab 2018a. Results A total of 132 patients were recruited (173 operations). The one-year mortality rate was 36.3%. The mean age at death was 72.2 years. The results of the regression analysis showed patients having ESRF (β = 2.195, t 120 = 3.008, p = 0.003) or a major amputation (including above- or below-knee amputation) (β = 1.079, t 120 = 2.120, p = 0.034), had a significantly higher one-year mortality. The remaining factors showed no significant effect. The one-year mortality rate in ESRF patients was 77.8%; while the one-year mortality rate without ESRF was 29.8%. The mean age at death in the ESRF group was 62.9 years; while that without ESRF was 76.1 years. The one-year mortality for patients with major amputation was 45.8% while that for minor amputation was 20.4%. Conclusion ESRF and major amputation are factors that increase the one-year mortality rate after lower limb amputation.","PeriodicalId":42408,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Orthopaedics Trauma and Rehabilitation","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76067185","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}
