Not all obtained instruments were used in orthopaedics; the boxes contained several instruments typically used in other fields of surgery. Attempts have been made to divide orthopaedic instruments into several groups, depending on their use in bone fixation. Some specific instruments are used only in one method. The most interesting tools are discussed in detail, with attention to their features and role in shaping modern orthopaedics. Some of the obtained equipment could have been made in the Orthopaedic Workshop in the hospital. They are specific exhibits related to the development of orthopaedics in this hospital that required preservation.","PeriodicalId":89713,"journal":{"name":"Polish orthopedics and traumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48839656","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}

Medial tibial plateau fracture (MTPF) after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a rare but significant complication. Materials and methods. MEDLINE, ScienceDirect and Cochrane Library databases were searched using specific search terms. The inclusion criteria were articles in English, medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty intraoperative or stress MTPF, reported patients’ demographics and fracture characteristics, the treatment process, any case with a follow-up for a minimum of 3 months and the reported outcome. The exclusion criteria were lateral tibial plateau fracture, traumatic injury, all cases with a follow-up shorter than 3 months and no reported outcome. Results. From 374 records initially found, 36 were included in the analysis highlighting the characteristics, causes and mechanisms of UKA-related MTPF. As to the treatment outcomes, only 10 studies with a total of 19 cases met our inclusion and exclusion criteria. What was also reported was a case report of a 52-year-old patient diagnosed with MTPF one week after UKA and treated using ORIF with support plate and bone augmentation. At the 8-month follow-up, the patient was complaint-free and received 88 points in the KOOS Score. Conclusions. Several measures were proposed in the literature to minimize the risk of UKA-related MTPF. One of them is appropriate patient selection (BMI, BMD). As to the operative technique, positioning tibial pins too close to the medial tibial cortex and tibial plateau, extending the sagittal and vertical cut, damaging the posterior cortex and using excessive force during hammering should be avoided. In addition, the proper tibial component size and placement (considering the gender, race and knee alignment) is also important. UKA-related MTPF was reported to be managed with either conservative treatment, ORIF or revision to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While conservative treatment carries a high risk of failure, and the revision to TKA is a massive procedure associated with the removal of all UKA components, ORIF was reported to bring favorable outcomes, being less invasive than revision to TKA.","PeriodicalId":89713,"journal":{"name":"Polish orthopedics and traumatology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69600308","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}

In the past open resection surgery had been a standard management of osteoid osteoma until radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was discovered in the early 1990s. Nowadays, there are a few minimally invasive treatment techniques that are used. CT-guided radiofrequency ablation is considered a gold standard technique these days.

The treatment of this malformation depends on its extensiveness and applies both conservative approach and surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to evaluate treatment outcomes obtained in the patient with congenital dislocation of the right knee and other multiple abnormalities of the motor system as well as the suspicion of Apert syndrome. Between 2005 and 2019, patient with congenital knee dislocation was treated surgically in two medical centers. Authors performed a retrospective analysis of available data from medical archives. The patient first presented to the authors of this study at the age of nine months. Imaging diagnostics revealed complete luxation of the right knee, grade III according to Leveuf and club feet with no fibula bones in the lower legs. The objective of the multi-stage surgical treatment was to enable the patient to walk. Stage one involved a reposition of the congenital right knee dislocation following the Curtis and Fisher technique. The next stage involved a foot surgery – first the left one and then the right. At the age of 5, during the follow-up, the patient was very active: he kept walking, running and jumping and both his feet were in the right position. However, in the following year, a gradual increase of rotation disorders was observed in both lower legs. When the child was 6 years, he underwent derotation osteotomies in both tibia bones. Next, at the age of 12, he underwent anterior femoral hemiepiphysiodesis around right knee with two 8-plates. Plates were removed when he was 14. The last follow-up took place when the patient was 14. The patient is 100% able-bodied and can walk on his own. To sum up, patients with congenital knee dislocation make up a highly complex group that requires multidisciplinary care and frequently also multistage treatment.","PeriodicalId":89713,"journal":{"name":"Polish orthopedics and traumatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49456424","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}

Assessment of preliminary result of treatment of benign bone tumors and tumors like lesions utilizing CERAMENT as a bone substitute. Analysis of therapeutic and diagnostic path and symptoms reported by patients with tumors and tumor-like lesions. Materials and methods. To the retrospective study 38 patients undergoing curettage and bone substitution with CERAMENT® BONE VOID FILLER were included (26% of them were females). We utilized patients’ history. Each patient had an X-ray in the twelfth month after surgery, which was analyzed using the modified Neer classification. The follow-up was 24 months. Results. The unicameral bone cyst was the most commonly encountered lesion (36.8%). Pain was the most common symptom reported (28.9%). Half of all cases were discovered accidentally on X-rays ordered for a different indication. Nearly a quarter of the cases (23.7%) were complicated by pathologic fracture. The distribution of scores in modified Neer score was as follow: SCORE I- 52.6% SCORE II- 15.8% SCORE III-10.6% SCORE IV-2.6%. Complications of procedure were noted in 18.4% of patients. 10.5% of patients had serious discharge from the operated site, 7.9% of patients had surgical wound infection.
