Augmentation of this procedure using suture tape has been reported to improve ankle stability and physical patient outcomes. Method: This is a retrospective study of 30 patients with grade II-III anterior talofibular ligament instability, treated with augmented Broström-Gould suture tape procedure. The patients were followed up a minimum of 14.4 months post-surgery using AOFAS and RAND 36-item Short Form scores. We also evaluated ability and time to return to previous level of activity or sport following surgery and rehabilitation. Results: Overall patients showed excellent results, with an average AOFAS score of 92.7. According to the SF-36 scale patients perceived low levels of pain (80.6) and good physical functioning (88.3), with 86.7% of patients in the study being able to return to their previous level of activity or sport on average 10.94 weeks post surgery. Conclusion: Augmented Broström with suture tape showed excellent AOFAS and favourable RAND SF-36 outcomes in the short term with a good indication of functional outcomes in patients’ ability to return to previous levels of activity or sport.","PeriodicalId":91366,"journal":{"name":"MOJ orthopedics & rheumatology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42212007","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}

Currently, there is no standardized procedure for management or classification of these fractures. Questions/purposes: This unique case series purpose was to look at surgical outcomes and comorbidity profiles of 10 PHF patients. Subsequent analysis looked at whether these outcomes could add to the discussion of a proposed standard of care in a patient cohort with significant comorbidities. Patients and methods: All patients with humeral fractures from 2008-2019 were analyzed for inclusion. A total of ten patients met the inclusion criteria; humeral fracture concurrent with a shoulder arthroplasty. Each patient was managed surgically using a locking plate with or without cerclage wiring. Outcome analysis was then performed for each patient. Humoral fractures managed conservatively were removed from the dataset along with periprosthetic fractures around an elbow arthroplasty, IM nail, or supracondylar fracture after shoulder arthroplasty. Results: The average union time in all patients was 13.27±2.90 (9.86-17.29) weeks. There was no significant difference between patients treated with cerclage wiring or without. All patients had successful union except for a patient with Osteogenesis Imperfecta. There were two radial nerve palsies. The average Deyo-Charlson score and BMI was 7.1±.84 (4-13) and 29.89 respectively. Conclusion: The treatment of PHFs using the technique of ORIF with locking plate with or without cerclage wiring provides satisfactory outcomes in a patient population that usually includes significant comorbidities.

Twenty Six of them (group 1) underwent standard posterior approach and 28 (group 2) underwent interfragmentary approach.

Only PsA patients meeting the CASPAR criteria were included in the study. Results: Spectral Doppler (sD) was used to analyze 208 nail beds. Nail plates on the gray scale (GS) showed loss of the normal three-layered pattern in 89 nails (45.9%). Power Doppler (PD) signal was detected in 189 nail beds (92.2%), showing inflammatory activity in most of the patients and nails assessed.

Materials and methods: We received 16 patients with knee extension contracture treated by MJQP with patella traction from January 2015 to January 2021, at our BARI-ILIZAROV ORTHOPAEDIC CENTRE. The age at revision surgery was 25-58 years. The time between fracture treatment to MJQP was 4 to 20 months and our follow up was 10-30 months. We assessed pre-operative and post-operative range of motion (ROM). Results: Knee range of motion pre-operatively was 5-50 (35± 10)° and 35-85 (55±10)° after MJQP and in average of 0-35(18+10) °. We applied patella traction for 12-14 (10±3)° When we removed the patella traction the knee range of motion at that time was 95-110 (93±4)° and increase of 10-70 compared with the range of motion after release of all arthrofibrosis in the joint. Our follow up time was 12-35 (19±5) months. Knee range of motion at first follow up was 85-135 (105±13)°, an increase of 45-105 (70±15) ° compared with pre-operatively and of 10-45 (12±12)° compared with the range of motion after patella traction removed. Knee function was excellent in 12 cases (70%), good in 3 (27%) and fair in one (3%).
