Background

The aims of this study were to identify the artery feeding the fifth metatarsal and determine how bunionette osteotomy could injure this vessel.

Methods

The nutrient artery entering the fifth metatarsal was investigated in 10 adult cadaveric lower limbs by barium injection and enhanced computed tomography.

Results

The nutrient artery entered the medial aspect of the fifth metatarsal around the junction of the middle and proximal thirds obliquely from a distal direction (mean?angle 36°) in the coronal plane in all cases; in the axial plane, the point of entry and direction of the artery was medial-plantar (mean?angle 49°).

Conclusions

This report revealed direction and location of the nutrient artery entering the fifth metatarsal.  相似文献

Background

Few methods have been described for measuring hindfoot alignment from an anteroposterior view. The objective of this study was to compare two methods of angular measurement based on the views of Meary and Saltzman.

Methods

Thirty asymptomatic volunteers were included. Four radiographs were performed: the views of Meary and Saltzman with parallel feet and with the Fick correction. The reproducibility was determined by the inter- and intraobserver variability (ICC).

Results

Meary’s method revealed a mean valgus angulation of 3.9° (SD 3.47°). The reliability was extremely variable with a mean ICC of 0.59. The best reproducibility was obtained with Meary’s method with and without Fick correction.

Conclusion

The results of this study show that the reliability of the angular measurements depends on the radiographic view and measurement method chosen. The lateral Fick correction did not counteract the influence of tibial rotation. The same method should be used consistently.  相似文献

Objective

To analyse whether early post-operative full weight bearing following syndesmotic ankle fixation affected radiographic outcomes suggestive of diastasis.

Design

Retrospective comparative cohort study over a two year period.

Setting

Level 1 trauma centre

Patients/Participants

152 consecutive patients sustaining an unstable ankle fracture requiring syndesmotic stabilisation were included. Exclusions were 49 patients who had trimalleolar fixation without syndesmosis screws, one patient who had concomitant ankle and talar fracture. Five patients were lost to follow up and eleven patients were followed up in other centres. A total of 86 patients were analysed

Intervention

Protected or full weight bearing.

Main Outcome Measurement

The primary outcome measure was early diastasis. The secondary outcomes were late diastasis, wound complications and re-operation. Analysis of variance was used for the predictor variable of weight bearing status. We assumed a priori that p values of less than 0.05 were significant.

Results

Median age was 36 (IQR 30), with 54 males and 32 females. Median follow up was 12 weeks (IQR 6). There was no significant difference when comparing weight bearing status and change in radiographic measurements intra-operatively compared to 6 and 12 week follow up radiographs (tibiofibular clear space p?=?0.799, tibiofibular overlap p?=?0.733 and medial clear space p?=?0.261).

Conclusion

After surgical stabilization of an unstable syndesmotic injury, full weight bearing did not lead to syndesmotic diastasis in the early post-operative period. Full weight bearing is recommended following ankle fixation which includes syndesmotic fixation.  相似文献

Objectives

Hip dislocations are highly morbid injuries necessitating prompt reduction and post-reduction assessment for fracture and incarcerated fragments. Recent literature has questioned the need for initial pelvic radiographs for acute trauma patients, resulting in computed tomography (CT) scans as the initial evaluation. This study investigates the relationship between choice of pre-reduction imaging and treatment of acute hip dislocations.

Design

Retrospective Case-Control.

Setting

Single Academic Level I Trauma Center.

Methods

All acute hip dislocations from 2011 to 2016 were reviewed. Exclusion criteria were diagnosis of dislocation at another facility, death prior to reduction, emergent surgical or ICU intervention, and periprosthetic dislocation. Patients were grouped by those with only a radiograph prior to reduction, Group I, versus those with a pre-reduction CT scan, Group II. The primary outcomes were time to reduction and the acquisition of a second CT scan.

Results

Of the 123 hip dislocations identified, 35 patients were excluded, mostly for transfer with a known dislocation. Group I included 29 patients and Group II included 59 patients. The mean time to reduction was 74?min in Group I and 129?min in Group II for a difference of 55?min (p?<?0.001). The rate of repeat CT scan was 0 in Group I versus 48 (81%) in Group II (p?<?0.001).

Conclusion

Initial trauma pelvic radiography prior to CT is still important in the setting of suspected hip pathology to decrease time to hip reduction and unnecessary radiation exposure.

Background

It is common practice when placing cannulated screws within the femoral head when treating femoral neck fractures to avoid the thread-forms from crossing the fracture line. Despite the widespread use of cannulated screws in internal fixation of femoral neck fractures, there is no study to our knowledge that describes the ideal length of thread-forms.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the thread length that will maximize purchase within the femoral head while minimizing risk of crossing the fracture line. Additional analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with the maximal possible length of treads in minimally and non-displaced femoral neck fractures.

Methods

We performed a retrospective study of all patients treated for a minimally or non-displaced femoral neck fracture from April 1, 2004 through December 31, 2017. Only patients who had received a pre-operative CT or MRI scan were included. Fixation was then templated using radiographs and the distance from the subchondral bone to the fracture line was then measured.

Results

The study included 127 patients. The average estimated length of lag screw threads was 33.2?±?6.67?mm, with lower quartile of 29.1?mm and higher quartile of 37.2?mm. The median was 32.0?mm and most frequently encountered estimate was 29?mm. Estimated lag screw size did not differ significantly based on age or BMI, but both height (p?<?0.001) and race (0.04) were positively correlated with estimated lag screw size and males had longer measurements compared to females, 37.2?±?7.0?mm vs 31.4?±?5.7?mm (p?<?0.001), respectively.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we propose an additional lag screw thread form with length 26.0?mm to capture 90% of femoral neck fractures.  相似文献

Purpose

Antegrade intramedullary nailing is an alternative for humeral shaft fracture treatment. This surgical technique can be especially demanding in some fracture patterns, leading to problems like malunion and non-union. The purpose of our study is to demonstrate that the use of a nail with cerclage wires could be a safe procedure that facilitate reduction, specially in fractures with abduction of the proximal fragment.

Materials and methods

Fifty-six patients were included, from January 2007 to March 2016. In this cohort forty-two patients were females and eighteen males; mean age was sixty-seven (32–89). The fractures were reduced using a cerclage wire through a small lateral or anterior approach, then, antegrade intramedullary nailing was performed. Fracture healing was established by clinical and radiographic evaluation. Shoulder function was assessed using the Constant Score.

Results

Fifty-three patients healed (94.6%) adequately. Two patients developed a non-union (3.5%). One patient developed an infection (1.8%). Transient radial nerve palsy was observed in two patients (3.5%). The mean Constant Score at the end of the study was 70 points (range from 34 to 98 points).

Conclusions

Surgical treatment of humeral shaft fractures with cerclage wire and intramedullary nailing is a safe technique to improve fracture reduction. The use of cerclage wires leads to better bone contact while minimizing malunions. The rate of non-union in our study is lower than the rate reported in the literature for humeral shaft fractures treated by intramedullary nailing alone.  相似文献

Objective

Symptomatic distal interlocking screws in retrograde femoral nailing are common due the difficulties of imaging the trapezoidal femur. Screws appearing to have appropriate length on imaging may possibly be prominent, creating symptoms. Screw trajectory may influence the degree of this radiographic error. We hypothesize that external rotation of screw trajectory will increase measurement error of screw length.

Design

Retrospective.

Setting

Urban Level I Tertiary Trauma Center.

Participants

283 patients with Computer Tomography (CT) scans of the native knee were retrospectively identified. Simulation was done of the trajectory of an interlock at 20?mm and 40?mm proximal to the nail entry point, which represent common screw positions associated/not associated respectively, with removal. The distance between the radiographic medial cortex and the tip of the transverse screw was calculated (D). The angle (Ψ) between the transverse trajectory and a modified trajectory aimed at the most medial cortex to avoid radiographic measurement error was calculated. Geometric modeling was utilized to calculate the measurement error (D) in the event of accidental external rotation. The angle of the medial slope was also measured (Θ).

Intervention

Review of CT imaging of normal distal femora.

Main Outcome Measurements

CT measurements of distal femora.

Results

The mean distance (D) at 20/40?mm was 4.21 [95%CI 4.02–4.402] and 2.03?mm [95%CI 1.78–2.83], respectively (p?<?0.0001). The mean angle (Ψ) between the transverse and modified trajectory at 20/40?mm was 12° [95%CI 11.5–12.5] and 9.60° [95%CI 9–10.2], respectively (p?<?0.0001). External rotation by a similar amount nearly triples the measured difference (D). The measured medial slope was significantly increased as screws were placed more proximal (Θ20 mm 46.5 vs Θ40 mm: 48.7?°, p?<?0.00001).

Conclusion

The distance between the perceived medial cortex and the tip of the most transverse screw is 4.21?mm and could account for painfully prominent screws. In more proximal screws this distance is decreased. Internal rotation of the screw trajectory 12° can reduce this distance (D), which has implications in nail design. External rotation, amplifies this difference nearly three-fold. Surgeons should avoid external rotation of the aiming arm to prevent prominent screws.  相似文献

Background

Contrary to acute posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) bony tibial avulsions, surgical management of chronic injuries is technically challenging and appears to be controversial. We sought to assess the outcome of a novel screw post augmentation technique in neglected cases.

Methods

16 patients were followed up in a tertiary single-center retrospective study. The bony fragment was fixed using a lag screw with a spiked washer and an additional screw post through an open posterior approach. The pre- and postoperative knee range of movement (ROM), laxity, and modified Tegner–Lysholm (TL) scores were compared.

Results

The median time from injury to surgery was 10 weeks (range, 3–260). The mean clinical follow-up time was 24.25?±?9.21 months. At the final follow-up, the mean knee ROM flexion was 130°?±?11.55° with no extension lag. 3 patients had grade 1 laxity. The TL grade was predominantly excellent, and the overall median score improved from 76 preoperatively to 95 postoperatively (p?<?0.0004). Bony union was achieved in all cases.

Conclusion

The described screw post fixation technique results in an excellent outcome for these rare injuries.

Introduction

The management of long bone lower limb fractures secondary to gunshot wounds (GSWs) in the civilian setting are complex and there is currently no consensus regarding the optimal approach to managing such fractures. This study aims to address the relationship of implant related sepsis in fractures secondary to GSWs.

Methods

A systematic review of the literature was performed on both Pubmed and Scopus databases that look at fractures caused by GSWs in the lower limb. A total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria set in this study.

Results

Current literature suggests that low and high velocity injuries managed with internal fixation, such as intramedullary nails, may carry a low risk of superficial and deep infection, with no obvious risk of osteomyelitis. However, infection was poorly defined across all studies and no study used a validated scoring system for infection making it difficult to draw any valid conclusion on the rate of infection following internal fixation of lower limb fractures following both high and low velocity GSWs.

Conclusion

There is no clear evidence to confirm or refute that internal fixation is the ideal method of management in these complex injuries and guidance is needed due to the high and increasing proportion of patients presenting with these complex injuries worldwide.  相似文献

Background

This study reports the outcome of a plating system for arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (1st MTPJ) that incorporates a lag compression screw within a low profile titanium plate with a predetermined contour. This is the first report of the outcomes of this implant from a non-affiliated centre.

Patient and methods

This is a prospective cohort study of 40 consecutive primary 1st MTPJ arthrodesis procedures. The mean age of the cohort was 56 years (range, 20–74 years). The diagnosis was hallux rigidus in 31 patients and inflammatory arthropathy in 7 patients.

Results

All patients achieved clinical union at 6 weeks and radiological union was confirmed on plain radiographs between 6–16 weeks. One case of hardware removal was reported.

Conclusion

The cohort achieved consistently satisfactory results with a reliable and reproducible MTPJ position and a 100% union rate. There was a low rate of hardware removal.

Background

Although it has been proposed that in mid-stage ankle osteoarthritis, the subtalar joint can compensate for deformities above the ankle joint, the evidence is weak. We thus investigated subtalar joint alignment in different stages of ankle osteoarthritis using weightbearing computed tomography (CT) scans.

Methods

The subtalar joint of 88 patients with osteoarthritis of the ankle joint and a control group of 27 healthy volunteers were assessed. Subgroups were performed according to the ankle deformity (varus and valgus) and stage of ankle joint osteoarthritis. Subtalar joint alignment was assessed on weightbearing CT scans.

Results

A more valgus subtalar joint alignment was found in patients with varus ankle osteoarthritis. No significant difference of the subtalar joint alignment was evident when comparing different stages of ankle osteoarthritis.

Conclusions

Varus ankles compensate in the subtalar joint for deformities above the ankle joint. Compensation does not correlate with the stage of ankle osteoarthritis.  相似文献

Background

Our aim was to determine whether plasma levels of Tissue Factor (TF), Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (VCAM-1), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) or D-dimer after foot and ankle injury could predict which patients would develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Methods

Patients aged 18–60 years with acute foot and ankle injury had venous blood sample to measure TF, VCAM-1, IL-6 and D-dimer within 3 days of injury. Patients had bilateral lower limb venous ultrasound to assess for DVT on discharge from clinic.

Results

21 of 77 patients were found to have DVT (27%). There was no statistically significant association between levels of TF, VCAM-1, IL-6 or D-dimer and subsequent development of DVT.

Conclusion

Tissue Factor (TF), Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and D-dimer levels were not associated with development deep vein thrombosis in patients with acute foot and ankle injury.  相似文献

Introduction

Surgery or trauma may induce extensive arthrofibrosis around joints and tendon for the restrictive range of motion. Although some approaches were proposed, this problem is not solved satisfactorily. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been used for orthopedic, musculoskeletal, and fibrotic disorders. Whether it could prevent the formation of arthrofibrosis during the joint repair is unknown.

Methods

Intra-articular adhesions were created in the right knee of the rabbit by cortical bone shaving and subsequent cast immobilization. Arthrofibrosis in the control and ESWT group was evaluated and compared at week 4.

Results

Macroscopic score of arthrofibrosis and contracture angle of the control group are significantly higher. Histologically, the apparent gap between patella and tibia, loose connective tissue, and much less density of the blood vessel are found in the ESWT group.

Conclusions

ESWT could noninvasively, effectively, and safely prevent the formation of arthrofibrosis during the knee repair.  相似文献

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to report the feasibility of computed modelization and reconstitution of the paranasal sinuses, before and after trauma, from CT data.

Materials and methods

We modeled and reconstructed the paranasal sinuses of two patients (A and B), before and after trauma, using two different softwares (3DSlicer® and Blender®). Both patients had different numbers and locations of fractures. The 3DSlicer® software was used to create a 3D model from CT data. We then imported the 3D data into the Blender® software, to reconstruct and compare the dimensions of the paranasal sinuses before and after trauma.

Results

The 3 fragments of patient A and the 7 fragments of patient B could be repositioned in the pre-traumatic configuration. Distance measurements proved to be similar between pre- and post-traumatic 3D volumes.

Conclusion

After simple trauma, bone facial anatomy reconstruction is manually feasible. The whole procedure could benefit from automatization through machine learning. However, this feasibility must be confirmed on more severely fractured paranasal sinuses, to consider an application in forensic identification.  相似文献

Background

Despite impressive results of the pharmacological management of rheumatoid arthritis, still certain patients suffer from rheumatoid forefoot problems. Surgical treatment of these forefoot deformities can be an option. In literature no high-quality studies on this topic can be found.The goal of present study is to compare the results of a metatarsal head (MTH) resecting technique with a MTH preserving technique in the operative treatment of severe rheumatoid forefoot deformity.

Methods

Patients suffering from well-defined rheumatoid forefoot deformity were prospectively enrolled in three institutions. This non-blinded study had a randomised clinical design and eligible patients were randomly assigned to undergo either resection of preservation of the MTH. The primary outcome measure consisted of the AOFAS score. Secondary outcome measures were: the FFI, the VAS for pain and the SF-36.

Results

Twenty-three patients (10 in MTH preservation group) were included and analysed. After one year follow-up no significant differences in AOFAS score and additional outcome factors were found. A total of 10 complications in 23 patients were reported.

Conclusions

This randomised clinical study did not show significant clinical difference between a MTH resecting and a preserving procedure in patients suffering from rheumatoid forefoot deformity. Both procedures resulted in considerable improvement of pain and activity scores.  相似文献

Background and purpose

The treatment of paediatric distal radius diaphyseal metaphyseal junction (DRDMJ) fractures is a challenge. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new operative approach at the proximal “safe zone” of the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) to treat paediatric DRDMJ fractures and analyse the safety and efficacy of antegrade elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN) fixation.

Methods

Thirty paediatric patients with unstable and displaced DRDMJ fractures were treated by antegrade ESIN fixation from November 2015 to September 2017. We created the entrance site at the posterolateral side of the proximal radius and 2?4?cm distal to the articular surface of the radius, using the ESIN to immobilise the fractures. In the study, we reviewed patient demographics, complications, time until removal, and intraoperative time for hardware removal.

Results

Complete fracture healing was achieved between 6 and 12 weeks after surgery. Except for 3 patients presenting with irritation of the skin, we did not observe any complications. Radiologically, no secondary displacement, nail migration, loss of fixation, consolidation delay, non-union, or refracture was noted.

Conclusions

The antegrade ESIN fixation is a minimally invasive, easy-to-learn, alternative operative method to treat paediatric DRDMJ fractures.

Background

To compare the efficacy between fixation with suture-button and screw in the treatment of syndesmotic injuries: a meta-analysis.

Methods

We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library and performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and retrospective comparative studies (RTCs). We performed using Review Manager 5.2.

Results

Three RCTs and six retrospective studies were conducted, including a total of 397 patients. The significant differences of the fixation of suture-button were reported for AOFAS scores (at 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up), full-weight time, reoperation, malreduction and the rate of failure of fixation. There were no significant differences between the groups regarding complications of infection, VAS, OMAS, range of motion, TFCS, TFO and MCS.

Conclusions

Neither the functional outcome nor complications significantly differed between the fixation methods, but suture-button might lead to a quicker return to work. This analysis needs to be confirmed and updated by larger sample data and rigorously designed RCTs.  相似文献

Introduction

Intra-articular distal humeral fractures involving both columns require double-plate fixation. In orthogonal plate fixation, screws from the medial plate reach the radial column, while screws from the dorsolateral plate run posterior–anterior, not creating interdigitation. The Synthes LCP-DHP system has an orthogonal plate configuration that enables dorsolateral plating with support, as the radial and ulnar columns are linked via interdigitation of the distal screws. We hypothesized that the transcondylar screw from the posterolateral plate, which interdigitates with screws from the medial plate, enables more rigid stabilization of orthogonal plating in distal humeral AO type C fractures.

Methods

A previous study reported the biomechanical properties of orthogonal plate fixation using an AO type 13-C2.3 intra-articular fracture model with a 1-cm supracondylar gap using artificial bones (Kudo et al., Injury, 2016). We performed a biomechanical study of the dorsolateral plate with support, and inserted one 2.7-mm locking screw through the support in the lateral-to-medial direction, creating interdigitation of the distal screws. A 0–200?N axial load was applied separately to the radial and ulnar columns. We calculated the stiffness of both columns, and the anterior displacement of the condylar fragment. We compared the biomechanical properties of orthogonal plating with versus without interdigitation.

Results

There were no significant differences between the two groups in radial or ulnar axial compression. The ulnar column was stiffer than the radial column in both groups. There were no significant differences between groups in the angular displacements of the capitellum or trochlea. The capitellum moved more anteriorly than the trochlea during axial compression in both groups.

Discussion

The radial and ulnar columns were linked via interdigitation of the distal screws by adding one transcondylar screw from the dorsolateral plate, which did not affect radial column stiffness or capitellar anterior movement under axial compression. In the orthogonal configuration, axial compression induced more anterior displacement of the capitellum than the trochlea, which may induce secondary fragment or screw dislocation on the dorsolateral plate or nonunion at the supracondylar level.

Conclusions

The transcondylar screw from the dorsolateral plate did not affect axial compression of the radial column or capitellar anterior displacement.  相似文献
