Multiple treatment strategies addressing these lesions have been described. The purpose of this study was to report a novel technique using BioCartilage® (Arthrex, Naples, FL) to augment microfracture of OCD lesions of the capitellum in adolescent athletes with the prediction that this would lead to favorable clinical outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of 5 patients with OCD lesions of the capitellum who underwent open surgical intervention with BioCartilage implantation through a lateral approach to the elbow. There were 4 female patients and 1 male patient. The mean age was 13 years. The average follow-up was 55.8 months. Results: Each patient returned to their original sport at 6 months with a painless range of motion and full strength. American Shoulder and Elbow Scores and Mayo Elbow Performance Scales postoperatively were 100, and Visual Analog Scales were 0/10 for each patient. There were no complications or reoperations. Radiographs obtained at 6 to 8 months postoperatively showed healing of the lesions with no further evidence of an osseous defect. Conclusion: Our technique shows promising mid-term results. A safe and timely return to play was achieved in each case. This technique offers advantages by providing an excellent range of motion and return to sport using a familiar open approach.","PeriodicalId":45336,"journal":{"name":"Techniques in Orthopaedics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89536179","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}

Preservation of the physis, maintenance of structural support to, and integrity of, the cartilage, and conservation of joint kinematics must all be considered and are often threatened by current percutaneous or open surgical treatment options. Materials and Methods: We present a case of a 16-year-old male athlete with a distal femur epiphyseal bone lesion. He underwent transarticular en bloc excision and autograft reconstruction using osteoarticular transfer system (OATS) technique. Results: Final pathology revealed complete excision of an osteoid osteoma. The patient had regained full strength and range of motion at 3 months postoperatively, and at 22 months postoperatively was free of disease and back to full level of athletic participation. Conclusions: This article describes a technique for excision of subchondral epiphyseal bone lesions in the distal femur in skeletally immature patients which mitigates the risk of complications associated with physeal injury, incomplete tumor resection, and iatrogenic injury to the overlying cartilage.","PeriodicalId":45336,"journal":{"name":"Techniques in Orthopaedics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88071094","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}

However, unstable tibial shaft fractures in the pediatric population have limited operative treatment options because the skeletal immaturity of these patients makes rigid intramedullary devices contraindicated in this population, and external fixation strategies are associated with a high complication rates. Elastic nailing with cerclage is a minimally invasive, and relatively soft tissue sparing technique that can decrease wide dissection and periosteal stripping associated with plating. However, treating long oblique length unstable femur fractures with elastic nails has been shown yield good result; EIN in length unstable tibia shaft fractures with elastic nails has not been explored. Materials and Methods: Review of 2 patients receiving novel cerclage augmented elastic nailing technique. Results: Patients included had complete follow-up to fracture union, had no surgical complications postoperatively, and no failure of fixation. Patients achieved full range of motion and strength compared with the contralateral uninjured limb. Both patients returned to preinjury activity levels with no limitations. Discussion: We present a novel technique using elastic nails in unstable long oblique tibia fractures with a cerclage augment. This can expand EIN indications to provide a load-sharing construct with relative stability to length unstable tibia fractures that EIN use would typically be contraindicated. This in turn affords the benefits of EIN such as reliable fracture healing, excellent functional and cosmetic results with a safe and reproducible surgical technique.","PeriodicalId":45336,"journal":{"name":"Techniques in Orthopaedics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90149690","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}
