Diagnosis and treatment of patients with malignant bone tumors requires continuous improvement of existing methods of diagnosis and treatment. Purpose: to improve the treatment results in patients with tumors of the femur and pelvis through the application of medical imaging technologies, 3D modeling and 3D printing of personalized models of bones and tumors, arthroplasty and bioactive ceramics. Materials and methods. Examination, treatment and monitoring of 28 patients with malignant tumors of the bones of the pelvis, lower extremities and examination of 16 apparently healthy people were performed. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 3D modeling, biochemical markers of bone metabolism, arthroplasty, biomine were applied. Results. The technology of creating a 3D model of bones affected by malignant tumors has been developed based on the results of MRI, CT and 3D printing. Preoperative planning and training on 3D models reliably reduced intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery, time of complete recovery of the extremity function, the risk of postoperative complications and, accordingly, increased the duration of the first recurrence-free period. The use of bone resorption and osteosynthesis markers allows to control the osseointegration of endoprosthesis and biomine, to diagnose recurrence/metastasis timely. Conclusions. The application of CT + MRI + 3D modeling + training on 3D models + tumor removal + arthroplasty + biomine algorithm provided functional results after 12 months: excellent — in 57.35 %, good — in 29.41 % of cases.

Complications are the main concern of patients and surgeons when considering spine surgery. One of the risk factors for complications in the thoracic and lumbar spinal segments, as well as segments adjacent to those with fusion, is changes in sagittal spinal-pelvic balance. Objective: to determine the effect of muscle changes that occur during surgical access for posterior bisegmental LIV-SI fusion on the load of the iliac crest surface in the sacroiliac joint. Materials and methods. Dynamic motion simulation modeling was performed using OpenSim software with the use of additional programs to calculate loading forces. The complete model of the human musculoskeletal system was taken as a basis. To compare the load force, four models were created: 1 — basic, all spinal motion segments are fully functional, 2 — fixation without changing the anatomical curves of the spine, 3 — fixation in the position of hyperlordosis; 4 — fixation with reproduction of hyperlordosis. For models 2–4, changes in the muscles were made that correspond to the effects of surgical posterior access to the lumbar spine for posterior instrumented fusion LIV-SI. The load on the area of interest was measured as the value of the projection of the force vector depending on the angle of torso inclination as a percentage of body weight. Results. Muscle strength and function were the same for all types of instrumental spinal fusion, and trauma during access was not taken into account. In model 1 (normal) with the upright position, the projection of the load force falls on the center of gravity of the vertebra. When tilted, the load force in the sagittal direction acts exclusively on the anterior ilium with a slight shift of 10 % forward. In normosthenic and hyperlordotic fixation, there is a shift in the projection of the load force on the posterior iliac crest in the upright position and its displacement to the center with the tilt. The displacement of the load center with the upright position in normosthenic fixation is associated with the exclusion of some extensor muscles from the calculation of fibers, which reduces their total strength and leads to sagittal imbalance with an increase in lordosis. Hypolordotic fixation (model 4) slightly shifts the projection of the load force in the upright position (by 3 %) and approaches the normal values of model 1 when tilted. Regarding vertical loads, for all models with muscle integrity impairment (models 2, 3, 4), the load in the upright position is greatly increased — on average by 60 % compared to the norm, with a decrease in body weight by 40–45 % when tilted. Conclusions. It has been proved that the load force on the surface of the iliac crest in the sacroiliac joint depends on the angle of instrumental fusion performed. The greatest changes are observed with the displacement of the load center during upright standing in the sagittal direction.

Dysplastic coxarthrosis is a special medical and social problem in the treatment of adult patients, often leading to disability, limiting the human’s ability to self-care. Arthroplasty for dysplastic coxarthrosis is only a certain stage in the restoration of the patient’s musculoskeletal function. Considering the large number of unsatisfactory results of arthroplasty in dysplastic coxarthrosis, a very important factor is the construction of a rehabilitation prognosis — the estimated probability of achieving the intended goals of rehabilitation or realization of rehabilitation potential, taking into account disease features and the patient’s capabilities. Objective: to determine the significant parameters of the dysplastic hip joint whose change affects the deficit of lower limb muscle strength after arthroplasty and the prospects for rehabilitation potential. Materials and methods. An X-ray examination of 23 dysplastic hip joints was performed. The following radiometric parameters were measured: acetabular depth; floor thickness; acetabular depth index; abductor moment arm; gravity moment arm; height and lateralization of the center of rotation of the femoral head relative to the center of the acetabulum rotation. To objectify the balance of muscle forces required to maintain pelvic balance when standing on one leg, a mathematical model was used created by the authors, which reflects the pelvis with the femur and the action vectors of the muscles of two groups: abductors and adductors of the hip. Results. Using the model of horizontal balance of the pelvis, the level of muscle strength deficit was calculated in patients before and after arthroplasty. It was found that in some of them the muscle strength deficit remained. With a linear regression model, an equation was created to determine the muscle strength deficit. According to the statistical analysis, no difference was found between the results of the regression equation and the mathematical model (p >> 0.05). The regression analysis has shown that the most significant factors for the result are the neck shaft angle, floor thickness, and head height. To determine the limits of radiometric parameters that affect the outcome of arthroplasty, patients were divided into 4 groups according to the level of calculated muscle strength deficit: group I — deficit of more than 20 %, group II — deficit of less than 20 %, group III — surplus of 20 % and group IV — surplus of more than 20 %. In general, patients improve their muscle strength, but the initial deficit greatly affects the outcome after arthroplasty. For patients in group I, pre- and postoperative rehabilitation is necessary to achieve a positive result. In group II, the main direction of rehabilitation is to increase muscle strength. For patients of groups III and IV, general rehabilitation measures can be used. Conclusions.

The term “joint contractures” is used to describe the loss of passive range of motion of diarthrosis joints, the most common and mobile type of a joint. Measuring passive or active range of motion in a joint with contracture is key to assessing the severity of joint contractures. The purpose of the study: to determine the impact of immobilization on the development of movement limitation in the knee joint of laboratory animals (rats) and to evaluate the possibility of restoring mobility in case of using low-frequency vibration during and after immobilization. Materials and methods. The experimental study was conducted on 30 non-linear white male rats aged 6 months. Immobilization of the pelvic limb was performed at an angle of 140° in the knee joint. The animals were randomly divided into 3 groups: I — immobilization and free restraint after immobilization, II — immobilization and vibration development of the joint after immobilization, III — immobilization and vibration development of the joint during and after immobilization. Vibration development of the immobilized knee joint was performed daily in the mode of 20 Hz with an amplitude of 1.5 mm and a duration of 10 minutes. The range of motion and real contracture were determined as the difference between the measured range of motion and the range of motion before the start of the experiment for each animal individually. Results. It was found that a rapid increase in movement limitation occurs starting from the 2nd week of immobilization. A decrease in the range of motion in rats of the groups I and II under conditions of immobilization occurred the same way. After the end of immobilization, a slow increase in the range of motion was observed in the group I; in the group II, the growth was almost linear and after 4 weeks, the indicator was close to the norm. In the group III, the limitation of the range of motion after immobilization was significantly less; therefore, accordingly, recovery took place already 2 weeks after the removal of the immobilization bandage. Immobilization of the knee joint in rats of groups I and II caused a contracture of 60°, while in the group III, the restrictions did not exceed 25°. And, accordingly, the recovery in the groups with vibration development was rapid; in the group III, a full recovery was achieved, in the group II — a recovery of up to 5° of the residual contracture. In the group I, we observe a residual contracture of almost 35°, which is more than the formed immobilization contracture in the group III. Conclusions. Low-frequency vibration allows reducing the impact of immobilization and significantly accelerate the recovery of mobi-lity (range of motion) of the joint after its completion. If it is impossible to carry out vibrotherapy during the period of immobilization, it should be started as early as possible after immobilization.

Patients suffering from hip-spine syndrome with significant changes in the hip joint complain of pain in the lumbar spine in 21.2–49.4 % of cases. After performing lumbar fusion, the mobility of the pelvis decreases, which leads to an increased risk of dislocations and the development of impingement after hip arthroplasty that is the cause for repeated surgical interventions. Goal: to study the stress distribution in the models of posterior lumbar fusion in case of normal values of the sagittal contour of the spine and lumbar lordosis. Materials and methods. A finite-element model has been developed reflecting the condition that occurs in the combined course of degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine and hip joint and is characterized by normal lordosis of 40º and forward body tilt due to flexion contracture in the hip joints. The following options were modeled: 1 — posterior fusion of the L4-L5 vertebrae using a transpedicular structure with 4 screws and an interbody support; 2 — posterior fusion of the L3-L4-L5 vertebrae using a transpedicular construction with 6 screws; 3 — posterior fusion of L1-L5 vertebrae using a transpedicular structure with 10 screws. When conducting the research, the values of stresses in the Th1-L5 vertebrae, on the screws and rods of the transpedicular structure were studied. Results. Posterior fusion with a transpedicular construction on two L4-L5 vertebrae leads to the occurrence of maximum stresses in vertebral bodies of the lumbar spine, especially L4-L5. The lowest stresses in the lumbar vertebral bodies can be obtained when the transpedicular structure is applied to all 5 vertebrae. The use of all options for posterior fusion, except for the 4-screw scheme, allows to reduce the stress in the vertebral arches of the lumbar spine below the level of the normal spine model, except for the L1 vertebra. This leads to an increase in the level of stress from the Th6 to Th12 vertebrae. The construction placed on all 5 vertebrae ensures the lowest level of stress in the arches of thoracic vertebrae. The construction placed on all the vertebrae of the lumbar spine provides a minimum level of stress in the bone tissue around the fixing screws. Reducing the length of fixation leads to a significant increase in stress in these zones. With all types of installation of the transpedicular construction, the values of the stresses on the screws in the L3-L5 vertebrae are comparable. When using the design for 5 vertebrae of the lumbar spine, the locking screws in the L1 and L2 vertebrae will experience significant loads, which, accordingly, will cause significant stress in them. The maximum level of stress in the rods occurs when two L4-L5 vertebrae are instrumented, the minimum is when the structure is placed on all five vertebrae of the lumbar spine. Conclusions. Given the stress distribution, the length of fixation plays an important role: the longer the length of fixation, the lower the stress level, both in the b","PeriodicalId":9553,"journal":{"name":"Burns & Trauma","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81282202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unicondylar knee arthroplasty has become popular among orthopedists in recent years. The main complication of this technology is the instability of the tibial component of the endoprosthesis due to the development of local osteoporosis in the area of arthroplasty. Patients with decreased bone density are at high risk of developing instability of the tibial component of the endoprosthesis. Therefore, determining the levels of bone mineral density in patients with osteopenia before arthroplasty make it possible to calculate the risk of complications in the long term. Objective: to evaluate the bone mineral density according to the computed tomography (CT) of the tibial plateau resection zone for unicondylar arthroplasty in patients at risk. Materials and methods. The state of three cortical layer zones was assessed: anterior, middle, posterior and 4 zones of the plateau cut plane. The optical density of bone tissue was measured on CT images of the tibial plateau of the knee joint using the Hounsfield scale. Changes in bone structures in the area of placing tibial component of the endoprosthesis were studied in 2 groups of patients: group I — ten individuals who had undergone unicondylar knee arthroplasty 3–6 years ago and complained of negative phenomena in the prosthetic knee, group II — ten patients who had undergone unicondylar arthroplasty 1.2–2 years ago. These patients underwent CT densitometry at the follow-up examination. Results. Before arthroplasty, the maximum optical density of bone tissue was statistically the same. The density of the cortical layer was maximal in the anterior part of the bone (~ 720 HU), minimal — in the posterior part (580 HU). For the spongy bone zone, the maximum optical density was observed in the anterior part (~ 470 HU), and in the posterior part, it was lower. In 3–6 years, patients of group I showed a significant decrease in the optical density of the bone, both in its cortical layer and in the cancellous tissue. The greatest losses were detected in the medial zones of the cancellous bone. Patients had areas of cortical layer resorption, and in some individuals, its complete absence. At the same time, the absorption index of the cortical layer in the areas of destruction did not exceed 100 HU. The maximum optical density of the cortical layer in the zones also decreased. In patients of group II, 1.5–2 years after arthroplasty, there were no noticeable changes in the bone structures in the surgery area. Changes occurred in the medial zones of the cancellous bone of the tibial plateau. Patients with osteopenia reported changes in bone optical density already in the first years after arthroplasty, although they do not lead to instability of the tibial component of the endoprosthesis.

Since OAK is a slowly progressive disease, the search for effective drugs with minimal toxicity and a long-lasting effect, which prevent the destruction of articular cartilage and improve the working conditions of the patient, is ongoing. Thus, the main goals of OAK treatment are to reduce symptoms and slow the progression of the disease, which can reduce the negative impact of OAK on the patient’s functional capacity, as well as improve quality of life.

However, there are inherent challenges and risks associated with the intra-hospital transport of critically injured trauma patients to the radiology suite and during the scanning process itself. We examined the frequency and nature of adverse events during computerized tomography among critically injured patients. This is a retrospective cohort study of adverse event in critically injured adult (>18 years old) trauma patients who underwent emergent computerized tomographic scan following evaluation in the trauma bay over a 22-month period who were either admitted to the intensive care unit or the operating room post computerized tomography. Data was abstracted from the hospital's trauma registry and chart review of electronic medical records. The frequency of adverse events during computerized tomography and the associated patient transport phases was recorded. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess the impact of adverse event on 7-day in-hospital mortality. Of the 526 critically injured trauma patients who underwent computerized tomographic scan during the study period, 17.3% (91/526) experienced one or more adverse event. The most common adverse events were hypotension n = 50 (9.5%), hypertension n = 18 (3.4%), initiation of vasopressors n = 11 (2.1%) and vomiting n = 8 (1.5%). One patient required re-intubation following endotracheal tube dislodgement and one patient required intubation following hypoxia post-sedation for agitation. Patient factors independently associated with adverse event were mechanical ventilation and blood product administration. When adjusted for injury severity score and age, patients who experienced adverse event were at increased odds of death (odds ratio: 2.2, 95% confidence interval: 1.11–4.36) compared to those who did not experience adverse event.
