Distal femoral osteotomies (DFO) can be used to correct deformities around the knee. Although osteotomies can be fixed with either internal or external fixation techniques, the advantages of one over the other are unclear. 相似文献Background
The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) can relieve pain and restore function in patients with symptomatic acetabular dysplasia. Accurate acetabular correction is fundamental to achieving these clinical goals and presumably enhancing survivorship of the reconstruction. Fluoroscopy is used by some surgeons to assess intraoperative acetabular correction but it is unclear whether the features observed by fluoroscopy accurately reflect those on postoperative radiographs.Questions/Purposes
We therefore determined whether the parameters of acetabular correction of PAO correlated on intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging and postoperative radiography.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the imaging of 48 patients (50 hips) who underwent PAO. Intraoperative fluoroscopic AP and false profile images were obtained after final PAO correction. The intraoperative deformity correction as measured on the two fluoroscopy views was compared with the correction determined with postoperative standing plain AP pelvis and false profile radiographs using common measurements of acetabular position.Results
Of all radiographic parameters, lateral center-edge angle had the highest correlation between intraoperative fluoroscopy and the postoperative radiograph with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.80 (0.68–0.88). Similarly, acetabular inclination and anterior center-edge angle also correlated with ICCs of 0.76 (0.61–0.85) and 0.71 (0.54–0.82), respectively. Extrusion index and medial offset distance had lower correlations with ICCs of 0.66 (0.46–0.79) and 0.46 (0.21–0.65), respectively.Conclusions
Intraoperative fluoroscopic assessment of PAO correction correlated with that from the postoperative radiographic assessment. Measurement of lateral center-edge angle shows the highest correlation with the fewest outliers. Acetabular inclination and anterior center-edge angle also correlated; extrusion index and medial offset distance should be used with more caution. 相似文献Objective
Correction of symptomatic valgus deformities.Indications
A hallux valgus in which the pathologic intermetatarsal angle I–II can be fully corrected by a lateral shift of the metatarsal head not exceeding two thirds of its width.Contraindications
Hypermobility of the first ray. Osteoporosis. Osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.Surgical Technique
Medial longitudinal incision extending from the first metatarsophalangeal joint to the midportion of the metatarsal. Tenotomy of the abductor hallucis longus tendon, and lateral longitudinal incision of the metatarsophalangeal joint capsule to allow complete repositioning of the metatarsal head over the sesamoid bones. Z-shaped osteotomy in the mediolateral plane of the distal two thirds of the first metatarsal. Lateral shift of the distal fragment to reduce the intermetatarsal angle to a physiologic one. A pathologic distal metatarsal articular angle can be corrected simultaneously by rotating the distal fragment medially. Medial metatarsophalangeal capsulorrhaphy.Results
Between October 1995 and July 1998, 73 Scarf osteotomies were performed in 57 patients and followed up clinically and radiologically for an average of 23 (12–45) months. The average intermetatarsal angle I–II was reduced from 12° to 6° and the first metatarsophalangeal angle from 27° to 11°. Patient’s satisfaction assessed in a visual 0–10 analog scale (10 points representing complete satisfaction) reached a mean value of 9.2 points. Three patients would not undergo the operation again (one bilateral severe undercorrection, one painful osteoarthritis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, and one overcorrection). 相似文献Background
The goal of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is to delay or prevent osteoarthritic development in dysplastic hips. However, it is unclear whether the surgical goals are achieved and if so in which patients. This information is essential to select appropriate patients for a durable PAO that achieves its goals. 相似文献Background
Salter innominate osteotomy has been identified as an effective additional surgery for the dysplastic hip. However, because in this procedure, the distal segment of the pelvis is displaced laterally and anteriorly, it may predispose the patient to acetabular retroversion. The degree to which this may be the case, however, remains incompletely characterized.Questions/purposes
We asked, in a group of pediatric patients with acetabular dysplasia who underwent Salter osteotomy, whether the operated hip developed (1) acetabular retroversion compared with contralateral unaffected hips; (2) radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis; or (3) worse functional scores. (4) In addition, we asked whether femoral head deformity resulting from aseptic necrosis was a risk factor for acetabular retroversion.Methods
Between 1971 and 2001, we performed 213 Salter innominate osteotomies for unilateral pediatric dysplasia, of which 99 hips (47%) in 99 patients were available for review at a mean of 16 years after surgery (range, 12–25 years). Average patient age at surgery was 4 years (range, 2–9 years) and the average age at the most recent followup was 21 years (range, 18–29 years). Acetabular retroversion was diagnosed based on the presence of a positive crossover sign and prominence of the ischial spine sign at the final visit. The center-edge angle, acetabular angle of Sharp, and acetabular index were measured at preoperative and final visits. Contralateral unaffected hips were used as controls, and statistical comparison was made in each patient. Clinical findings, including Harris hip score (HHS) and the anterior impingement sign, were recorded at the final visit.Results
Patients were no more likely to have a positive crossover sign in the surgically treated hips (20 of 99 hips [20%]) than in the contralateral control hips (17 of 99 hips [17%]; p = 0584). In addition, the percentage of positive prominence of the ischial spine sign was not different between treated hips (22 of 99 hips [22%]) and contralateral hips (18 of 99 hips [18%]; p = 0.256). Hips that had a positive crossover or prominence of the ischial spine sign in the operated hips were likely also to have a positive crossover sign or prominence of the ischial spine sign in the unaffected hips (16 of 20 hips [80%] crossover sign, 17 of 22 hips [77%] prominence of the ischial spine sign). At the final visit, five hips (5%) showed osteoarthritic change; one of the five hips (20%) showed positive crossover and prominence of the ischial spine signs, and the remaining four hips showed negative crossover and prominence of the ischial spine signs. There was no significant difference in HHS between the crossover-positive and crossover-negative patient groups nor in the prominence of the ischial spine-positive and prominence of the ischial spine-negative patient groups (crossover sign, p = 0.68; prominence of the ischial spine sign, p = 0.54). Hips with femoral head deformity (25 of 99 hips [25%]) were more likely to have acetabular retroversion compared with hips without femoral-head deformity (crossover sign, p = 0.029, prominence of the ischial spine sign, p = 0.013).Conclusions
Our results suggest that Salter innominate osteotomy does not consistently cause acetabular retroversion in adulthood. We propose that retroversion of the acetabulum is a result of intrinsic development of the pelvis in each patient. A longer-term followup study is needed to determine whether retroverted acetabulum after Slater innominate osteotomy is a true risk factor for early osteoarthritis. Femoral head deformity is a risk factor for subsequent acetabular retroversion.Level of Evidence
Level III, therapeutic study. 相似文献Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a technically challenging procedure with potential risk for major complications and a previously reported steep learning curve. However, the impact of contemporary hip preservation fellowships on the learning curve of PAO has not been established.
Questions/purposes(1) What was the frequency of major complications during the PAO learning curve of two surgeons who recently graduated from hip preservation fellowships? (2) Is increasing level of experience associated with the risk of a complication and with operative time, a possible surrogate measure of surgical performance?
MethodsWe retrospectively studied 81 PAOs performed by one of two surgeons who recently graduated from a hip preservation fellowship during their first 4 years of practice in two institutions. One of the surgeons participated as a fellow in 78 PAOs with an increasing level of responsibility during the course of 1 full year. The other surgeon performed 41 PAOs as a fellow during 6 months, also with an increasing level of responsibility during that time. There were 68 (84%) female and 13 (16%) male patients (mean age, 18 years; range, 10–36 years). The frequency of complications was recorded early and at 1 year after surgery and graded according to a validated classification system describing five grades of complications. Complications that required surgical intervention (Grade III) and life-threatening complications (Grade IV) were considered major complications. Persistent pain after surgery, although considered a failure of PAO, was not considered a surgical complication as a result of the multifactorial etiology of pain after hip-preserving surgery. However, early reoperation and revision surgery were counted as complications. To evaluate the association between increasing level of experience and the occurrence of complications, we divided each surgeon’s experience into his first 20 procedures (initial interval) and his second 20 (experienced interval) to test whether the incidence of complications or operative time was different between the two intervals. Because the association between experience and the likelihood of a complication was estimated to be consistent between the two surgeons, the analysis was performed with data pooled from the two surgeons. To test whether there was a difference in the likelihood of a complication in the initial and the experienced intervals, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed and the adjusted risk of a complication between the two intervals was calculated. Linear regression analyses were used to test the association between surgeon level of experience and operative time.
ResultsThe overall incidence of major (Grade III or Grade IV) complications was 6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 2%–14%). These included deep infection (3% [three of 81]), intraoperative posterior column fracture (1% [one of 81]), and pulmonary embolism (1% [one of 81]). With the numbers available, the risk of a complication did not decrease with increasing surgeon experience. After controlling for body mass index and surgeon, the frequency of a complication did not decrease in the experienced interval relative to the initial interval (odds ratio, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.25–2.4; p = 0.6623). The adjusted risk difference between the experienced interval relative and the initial interval was 6% (95% CI, −11% to 23%). When experience was modeled as a continuous variable (number of PAOs performed), increasing experience was not associated with a lower likelihood of a complication (odds ratio per one PAO increase in experience, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.94–1.04; p = 0.5478). However, after adjusting for body mass index and surgeon, increased experience was associated with a reduction in operative time (slope [change in log operative time per one procedure increase in experience], −0.005; 95% CI, −0.009 to −0.0005; p = 0.0292). For every one additional PAO increase in experience, there was a 0.45% decrease in operative time (95% CI, 0.05%–0.86% decrease].
ConclusionsWith a case exposure greater than 40 PAOs and progressive surgical responsibility during contemporary structured training, two young surgeons were able to perform PAO with a low risk of complications. However, even with that surgical experience before independent practice, surgical time decreased over the first 40 PAOs they performed independently. Our data may help guide orthopaedic residency and hip preservation fellowship programs in establishing training requirements and assessing competency in PAO.
