Such risk can be reduced by using mini-invasive approaches. The sinus tarsi approach provides a good overview of the posterior joint facet of the calcaneus and can also be done as a mini-invasive procedure. The authors present their fi rst experience with osteosynthesis of joint depression calcaneal fractures using the anterolateral locking plate inserted through the sinus tarsi approach. MATERIAL AND METHODS During the period from 1 February 2020 to 31 January 2022, 18 patients were treated by the anterolateral locking plate in the authors' department (3 women, 15 men). Eleven fractures were classifi ed according to Sanders as IInd grade, fi ve as IIIrd grade and two fractures were classifi ed as tongue-type (as described by Essex-Lopresti). The fractures were treated by open reduction through the sinus tarsi approach and osteosynthesis by the anterolateral locking plate combined with headless screws. The following factors were examined: time from injury, duration of surgery, quality of reduction (post-op control with multiplanar CT scans), wound and technical complications, loss of reduction after treatment, substance abuse and comorbidities. The follow-up was 12-36 months (median 17). At one year after surgery, the functional outcomes were evaluated using the AOFAS Hindfoot score. RESULTS The most common negative predispositions for successful healing were smoking (9 cases), alcohol abuse, drug abuse, mild mental retardation, personality disorder, insulin-dependent diabetes and epilepsy (1 case each), hypothyreodism and bronchial asthma (2 cases each). The time from injury to surgery and duration of surgery surgery were measured. The quality of reduction was excellent in 12 patients (dislocation less than 1 mm), good in 6 patients (dislocation less than 2 mm), dislocation more than 2 mm was not present in the group. In one case, a revision surgery was performed because of screw malposition into the subtalar joint, delayed wound healing was observed in two cases. There was no case of deep surgical site infection or loss of reduction. The mean AOFAS score after one year was 85 points. The most common complaints were scar pain or discomfort. DISCUSSION The current studies on osteosynthesis of calcaneal fractures favor the sinus tarsi approach for its lower risk of wound-related complications compared to the extended lateral approach. The sinus tarsi approach requires the use of different osteosynthetic material than the conventional calcaneal plate. If a conventional locking plate is to be used, the surgical approach has to be modifi ed. In 2021, Wang et al. published an intermediate step leading to the reduction of early complications and the use of conventional locking calcaneal plate inserted through the sinus tarsi approach, with an additional incision. The sinus tarsi approach is used also when intramedullary nailing is performe","PeriodicalId":6980,"journal":{"name":"Acta chirurgiae orthopaedicae et traumatologiae Cechoslovaca","volume":"106 9","pages":"329-334"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139279791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The secondary goal is to evaluate the impact of RIPC on TKA clinical outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients in the ASA I-III group who underwent elective TKA were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical research. TDH parameters were measured individually in groups with (Group I) and without (Group K) RIPC at the following times: preoperative (T0), right before the pneumatic tourniquet was opened (T1), 1 (T2), 6 (T3), and 24 (T4) hours after it was opened. In addition, at 3-hour intervals, the postoperative pain level was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS). RESULTS This study included 60 cases (Group K; n=30, Group I; n=30). Both groups had equal native thiol, total thiol, disulfi de levels, disulfi de/native thiol, disulfi de/total thiol, and native thiol/total thiol ratios (p>0.05 for each). The change in native thiol, total thiol, and disulfi de values at T0 and T4 periods, however, was not statistically signifi cant for Group K (p=0.049, p=0.047, p=0.037, and p=0.217, p=0.191, p=0.220, respectively).

DISCUSSION This prospective, randomized, controlled trial examined how RIPC affected tourniquet-induced IRI-induced oxidative stress in TKA surgery. Lower native, total, and disulfi de levels at each postoperative time point were signifi cant. RIPC may reduce tourniquet-induced IRI-induced oxidative stress and TDH in TKA surgery. RIPC also reduced postoperative discomfort.

The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical features of the bulk bone graft (BBG) technique (Harris acetabular plasty) and the Roof Step Cut (RSC) technique using fi nite element analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Based on a female patient's dysplastic hip CT scan, 3D models were assembled according to the two techniques. For the Harris technique, an irregular BBG was sculpted from a solid sphere, while for the RSC technique, the graft was sculpted into a step-cut shape with a similar size. Each graft was fi xed with two compression screws at two different angles (0° and 45°). Four fi nite element models were used to compare the von Mises stress distribution and total deformation of the grafts and the screws. The pressure and sliding distances of the contacts between the bone graft, metal cup and acetabular host bone were also analyzed. RESULTS For both of the bone grafts and the screws, compared to the Harris models, the maximum stress of the RSC models was signifi cantly lower (16.56 MPa, 25.50 MPa vs 97.13 MPa, 112.72 MPa) and the total deformation was signifi cantly smaller (0.0096 mm, 0.0089 mm vs 0.022 mm, 0.018 mm). 45° inserted screws generated higher stress at the end of the screws and on the outside of the bone graft. In case of 0° inserted screws, the maximum value was mainly located in the middle of the screws, inside the screw channel as well as at the contact area between the graft and the host bone. At all analyzed contacts, the RSC technique shows signifi cantly lower pressure and sliding distances, irrelevant to the screw's insertion angle. In comparison, the model of BBG with 45° screws showed a signifi cant sliding effect and higher contact pressure. CONCLUSIONS Compared with the BBG technique, the step-shaped graft of the RSC technique could signifi cantly reduce the maximum stress and deformation of the graft and the screws, and decrease the pressure and sliding distance between the bone graft, metal cup and the acetabular host bone.

MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 28 dorsal wrist capsules were collected from 16 cadavers (with age range at death 18 to 80 years, with no visible wrist pathology). Altogether 112 histological specimens were obtained from these 28 samples. Post-hoc Dunn's tests were used to analyse the percentage of vascularisation of individual sides of the dorsal capsule (circumference and area) at the 0.05 level of signifi cance. Spearmann's correlation analysis was used to assess the effect of age on vascularization of the dorsal wrist capsule. In cadavers in whom both capsules were collected, the limbs were compared. For the sake of comparison, the Wilcoxon matched pairs test was used. RESULTS Regarding statistical signifi cance, the largest share of the total circumference and area of the measured vessels of the dorsal capsule is constituted by the distal side (35.2% of the circumference and 30.9% of the area). The blood supply of the dorsal capsule received on the ulnar side is the lowest (12.9% of the circumference and 17.6% of the area). There was no signifi cant effect of age on vascularization of the dorsal wrist capsule confi rmed. Also, the comparison of vascularization of both limbs from a single cadaver did not yield any statistically signifi cant results. DISCUSSION Proximal row carpectomy is a long-established surgical technique used to manage the degenerative changes in the wrist. Our results showed the best vascularization on the distal and radial sides of the dorsal wrist capsule. In this light, the distally-based fl ap or the fl ap described by Berger, which respects the clinically important ligaments, appear to be the least invasive and help maintain the future stability of the wrist. CONCLUSIONS In clinical practice, we advise that a radially-based fl ap according to Berger is created and the distal side of the dorsal capsule, the most vascularized portion based on our results, is preserved as much as possible. The fl ap created in this manner also preserves the important carpal ligaments and appears to the authors of this study to be the most benefi cial, also with respect to the presence of the largest arteries, contrary to the distal side.

MATERIAL AND METHODS Pre-operative MRI scans of 45 patients, with confirmed partial-thickness rotator cuff rupture in previous arthroscopic surgeries (performed by the senior author), were obtained from Picture Archiving and Communication Systems records. The observers (n=8) were asked to categorize MRI scans according to Ellman's classification of location and grade. There were four orthopedic surgeons less experienced in rotator cuff operations in the first group and four more experienced orthopedic surgeons in the second group. They were asked to re-evaluate the MRI scans six weeks later, without access to their previous answers. Reliability evaluation was performed within and among the groups. It was also evaluated if the surgeon's experience increased the reliability of the classification. Fleiss kappa coefficient was used for the inter-observer reliability and Cohen kappa coefficient for the intra-observer reliability, and post hoc analysis was performed. RESULTS When all observers were examined in the inter-observer evaluation, it was seen that there was moderate agreement in the first location evaluation (κ=0.414); however, there was fair agreement in all other evaluations in both groups (κ=0.339- 0.383-0.337, respectively). When all observers were examined in the mean intra-observer evaluation, it was seen that there was substantial agreement in both evaluations (κ=0.795-0.721, respectively). DISCUSSION A classification system must be valid, reliable, and reproducible. It should establish a standard terminology for both surgeons and researchers. The correct identification of the tear configuration is crucial for selecting the correct repair technique.

In this manuscript, 20 years of experience with the management of this complication are presented, particularly in relation to the type of instability. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the period between January 1999 and December 2020, at least one dislocation occurred in 157 of 8 286 (1.9%) THA patients, of which 117 dislocations (1.6%) in primary and 40 (3.4%) in revision THAs. Almost all patients were operated on from the anterolateral approach during the follow-up period. The type of dislocation was evaluated using the modified Dorr classification. In the first dislocations, conservative approach was usually opted for, except for cases with a clear malposition, irreducible or unstable hips after the reduction. The minimum follow-up period was 18 months (18-240). The success rate of the chosen treatment approach was assessed by means of standard statistical methods. RESULTS The total dislocation rate in the follow-up period was 1.6% for primary THAs and 3.4% for revision THAs. The dislocation rate was slightly higher between 1999 and 2009 compared to the following decade (2.1% versus 1.3% for primary THAs; p=0.009). The most common type of dislocation was the positional dislocation (62%), followed by dislocations due to a combination of causes (17%) and component malposition (11%). Treatment of dislocation was successful in a total of 130 patients (130/157; 83%). Even though a stable hip was achieved in 21 patients (13%), the functional outcome was unsatisfactory, and in 6 patients (4%) we failed to achieve a stable hip. In the positional type of dislocation, the success rate of closed reduction following the first-time dislocation was 86.4% and a similar success rate was reported for reoperations in the first-time dislocations due to the malpositioned components (85.7%). In the second-time dislocation, the surgical therapy was significantly more reliable compared to closed reduction regardless of the type of dislocation (78.6% versus 46%). The treatment of dislocations following primary THAs showed comparable outcomes to those of the treatment of dislocations following revision THAs. Overall, the worst outcomes were achieved in patients with a combined type of dislocation. In total, the THA had to be removed in 11.5% of hips (18/157). The probability of final THA removal increased with the increasing order of dislocation. DISCUSSION In our group of patients, the dislocation rate in THA was comparable or lower than the published data.
