Project description:The purpose of this technical note and accompanying video is to describe a modified arthroscopic suture fixation technique to treat tibial spine avulsion fractures. Twenty-one patients underwent arthroscopic treatment for tibial spine avulsion with our technique; they were clinically and biomechanically evaluated at 2 years' follow-up and showed optimal clinical and radiographic outcomes. Repair with this arthroscopic technique provides a significant advantage in the treatment of type III and IV fractures of the tibial eminence by obtaining arthroscopic fixation within the substance of the anterior cruciate ligament: suture methods based on the avulsed bone fragment are technically impossible, but sutures through the base of the ligament itself provide secure fixation, reducing the risks of comminution of the fracture fragment and eliminating the time for hardware removal. This arthroscopic technique restores the length and the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament and provides a simplified, reproducible method of treating patients, including young patients, with low hardware costs in comparison to sutures using anchors or other hardware.

Project description:Os acetabuli is a bone fragment with unknown origin and isolated at the acetabular rim that may be associated with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. If this bone fragment is too large and threatens the stability of the hip joint after resection, fixation would be recommended. However, conventional rigid fixation with metal screws has some disadvantages. We describe an arthroscopic suture fixation of the Os acetabulum with absorbable anchors penetrating the bone fragment and secured by tying knots in a double-pulley fashion simultaneously. This technique provides a new feasible solution for the fixation of Os acetabuli, avoiding any metal implants and potential damage to the joint.

Project description:Introduction and hypothesisUterosacral ligament suspension (USLS) is a common procedure for apical pelvic organ prolapse. The procedure has been described using only permanent suture, only absorbable suture and a combination of permanent and absorbable suture. We hypothesized that the use of absorbable suture is not inferior to the use of permanent suture.MethodsAll women undergoing USLS between October 2016 and November 2017 were approached. Subjects were randomized to permanent or absorbable suture. The primary outcome was POP-Q point C 12 months after surgery (non-inferiority limit = 2 cm). A composite outcome of success at 12 months was defined as no apical prolapse ≥ 1/2 TVL, no prolapse beyond the hymen, no prolapse retreatment and no bulge symptoms.ResultsForty-four subjects with mean (SD) age 62.9 (12.0) years and body mass index 29.1 (5.4) kg/m2 were enrolled and underwent USLS. Fifteen (34.1%) had POP-Q stage II and 29 (65.9%) stage III prolapse. Twenty-two were randomized to permanent and 22 to absorbable suture. Forty (90.9%) completed the 12-month follow-up. Median (IQR) POP-Q point C at 12 months was -7 (-10, -6) for the permanent and - 7 (-9, -5.5) for the absorbable suture groups (p = 0.65, non-inferiority p < 0.0002). Four (20%) in the permanent and one (5%) in the absorbable suture group reported bulge symptoms (p = 0.34). Fifteen (75%) in the permanent and 18 (90%) in the absorbable suture groups met criteria for composite success (p = 0.41). Intervention-related adverse outcomes were uncommon and not different between groups.ConclusionAbsorbable suture for USLS is not inferior to permanent suture for apical anatomic outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundPercutaneous repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) continues to gain in popularity. The primary aim of the study was to review the outcomes of a patient cohort undergoing a novel technique of endoscopic percutaneous Achilles tendon repair with absorbable suture. A secondary purpose of this study was to evaluate the basic biomechanical properties of the technique.MethodsA cohort of 30 patients who underwent percutaneous ATR repair was retrospectively analyzed with Achilles Tendon Rupture Scores (ATRS), complications, and additional outcome measures. For a biomechanical analysis portion of the study, 12 cadaveric specimens were paired and randomized to either novel percutaneous repair or open Kessler repair with absorbable suture. These specimens were subjected to 2 phases of cyclical testing (100 cycles 10-43 N followed by 200 cycles 10-86 N) and ultimate strength testing.ResultsIn the clinical portion of the study we report excellent patient reported outcomes (mean ATRS 94.1), high level of return to sport, and high patient satisfaction. One partial re-rupture was reported but with no major wound or neurologic complications. In the biomechanical portion of the study we found no significant difference in tendon gapping between percutaneous and open repairs in phase 1 of testing. In phase 2, increased gapping occurred between percutaneous (17.8 mm [range 10.7-24.1, SD 6.4]) and open repairs (10.8 mm [range 7.6-14.9, SD 2.7, P = .037]). The ultimate load at failure was not statistically different between the 2 repairs.ConclusionsA percutaneous ATR repair technique using endoscopic assistance and absorbable suture demonstrated low complications and good outcomes in a cohort of patients, with high satisfaction, and excellent functional outcomes including high rates of return to sport. Cadaveric biomechanical testing demonstrated excellent survival during testing and minimal increase in gapping compared with open repair technique, representing sufficient strength to withstand forces seen in early rehabilitation. A percutaneous Achilles tendon repair technique with absorbable suture may minimize risks associated with operative repair while still maintaining the benefit of operative repair.Level of evidenceLevel IV, retrospective case series.

Project description:BackgroundAbsorbable suspension sutures are the only nonsurgical modality approved for tissue repositioning.ObjectivesTo quantitate patient perceptions of treatment at 24 months and determine the impact of age and prior surgical procedures on perceptions of efficacy, treatment longevity, and overall satisfaction. In addition, the authors sought to describe the impact of treatment with absorbable suspension sutures on the likelihood a patient will undergo future surgical procedures.MethodsThe first 100 treated patients who underwent treatment with absorbable suspension sutures, by the senior author, were critically evaluated. Subjects completed surveys 24 months following initial treatment.ResultsOf the initial 100 patients, complete records were available for 80 patients (age 39-86). Eighteen (22.5%) received a second treatment with absorbable suspension sutures and average time to second treatment was 23.4 months (range 13-37 months). Overall satisfaction was affected by age, 100% of patients ≤ 50 vs. 60% of patients > 50 (P = 0.026). Prior surgery appeared to be a factor in patient perception of efficacy: 82.6% of patients with no prior surgery indicated that absorbable suspension sutures were effective vs. 45.5% of patients with a prior surgical procedure (P = 0.0286). Just under one third of pretreatment surgical patients underwent surgery following treatment while 25% of surgery naïve patients went on to have surgery. Importantly, satisfaction with the initial procedure does not preclude later surgery.ConclusionsTreatment with absorbable suspension sutures is associated with high satisfaction through 24 months and does deter patients from surgery. The combination of lift and volumization results in 4-dimensional rejuvenation that includes rejuvenation of dynamic expression.Level of evidence 4

Project description:Viologens, 1,1'-disubstituted-4,4'-bipyridinium salts, are organic redox species that can be used in place of NADPH as mediators for redox enzymes. In this study, using the reduction of oxidized glutathione by glutathione reductase as a model system, a rationally designed library of viologens covering a range of polarities and functional groups were explored as electron transfer mediators for bio-electrocatalysis. Through a series of electrochemical investigations, the reduction potential was found to be the primary determining factor for electron transfer between the viologen and enzyme. Through enhancing the solubility of viologen such that the fully reduced state remained soluble, we demonstrate a much-widened window of useable viologen potentials. In doing so, we describe for the first time a highly efficient electron transfer to a flavoenzyme promoting the catalytic reaction in the absence of co-factors. As such, our study provides a platform for broadening the scope for using viologens as mediating agents for electrochemically-driven enzymatic processes.

Project description:In this study, a medical-grade poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLC) copolymer with a monomer ratio of l-lactide (L) to ε-caprolactone (C) of 70:30 mol % for use as an absorbable surgical suture was synthesized via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) using a novel soluble liquid tin(II) n-butoxide (Sn(OnC4H9)2) as an initiator. In fiber fabrication, the process included copolymer melt extrusion with a minimal draw followed by sequential controlled hot-drawing and fixed-annealing steps to obtain oriented semicrystalline fibers with improved mechanical strength. For healing enhancement, the fiber was dip-coated with "levofloxacin" by adding the drug into a solution mixture of acetone, poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), and calcium stearate (CaSt) in the ratio of acetone/PCL/CaSt = 100:1% w/v:0.1% w/v. The tensile strength of the coated fiber was found to be increased to ∼400 MPa, which is comparable with that of commercial polydioxanone (PDS II) of a similar size. Finally, the efficiency of the drug-coated fiber regarding its controlled drug release and antimicrobial activity was investigated, and the results showed that the coated fiber was able to release the drug continuously for as long as 30 days. For fiber antimicrobial activity, it was found that a concentration of 1 mg/mL was sufficient to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, giving a clear inhibition zone range of 20-24 mm for 90 days. Cytotoxicity testing of the drug-coated fibers showed a %viability of more than 70%, indicating that they were nontoxic.

Project description:Objective: Few reports exist on the treatment of transverse patellar fractures (TPFs) using absorbable cannulated screws and high-strength sutures, and most screws and sutures lack good biomechanics and clinical trials. Therefore, this study aimed to demonstrate the biomechanical stability and clinical efficacy of tension-band high-strength sutures combined with absorbable cannulated screws (TBSAS) in treating TPFs (AO/OTA 34 C1). Methods: Finite element models of five internal fixation schemes were established: tension-band wire with K-wire (TBW), TBW with cerclage wire (TBWC), TBW with headless pressure screws (TBWHS), TBW with full-thread screws (TBWFS), and TBSAS. We comprehensively compared the biomechanical characteristics of the TBSAS treatment scheme during knee flexion and extension. Forty-one patients with TPFs in our hospital between January 2020 and August 2022 were retrospectively enrolled and divided into the TBSAS (n = 22) and TBWC (n = 19) groups. Clinical and follow-up outcomes, including operative time, visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, postoperative complications, Bostman score, and final knee range of motion, were compared between both groups. Results: Finite element analysis (FEA) showed that TBWHS and TBWFS achieved the minimum mean fracture interface relative displacement during knee flexion (45°, 0-500 N bending load) and full extension (0°, 0-500 N axial load). There was no significant difference between TBSAS (0.136 mm) and TBWC (0.146 mm) during knee flexion (500 N); however, TBSAS displacement was smaller (0.075 mm) during full extension (500 N). Furthermore, the stress results for the internal fixation and the patella were generally lower when using TBSAS. Retrospective clinical studies showed that the TBSAS group had a shorter operative time, lower VAS pain score at 1 and 2 months postoperatively, better Bostman knee function score at 3 and 9 months postoperatively, and better final knee joint motion than the TBWC group (all p < 0.05). There were five cases (26.3%) of internal fixation stimulation complications in the TBWC group. Conclusion: TBSAS demonstrated excellent safety and effectiveness in treating TPFs. It is sufficient to meet the needs of TPF fixation and early functional exercise and effectively reduces metal internal fixation-induced complications and secondary surgery-induced trauma.
