Sonographic assessment of orthopedic hardware impingement on soft tissues of the limbs.

ABSTRACT: Ultrasonography allows high-resolution imaging with real-time correlation to patients' pain, and it is an indispensable tool for assessing disorders associated with soft tissue impingement by orthopedic hardware. The sonographic examination in these cases begins with static studies, and images are then obtained during active and passive joint mobilization designed to reproduce the conflict with the orthopedic hardware. Ultrasonography is particularly useful for documenting hardware-induced injury to tendons and synovial bursae, but also those of muscles and vascular structures. The frequency of hardware-soft tissue conflict varies with the site and type of surgical procedure, but in all cases ultrasonography plays an essential role in identifying this type of conflict and assessing the soft tissue lesions it causes.

Orthopedic Hardware Type Impacts Case Complexity in Conversion Total Hip Arthroplasty Surgery.

Project description:BackgroundConversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) includes a variety of operations and prior implants. The implant present before conversion may influence the outcome and complexity of the procedure. The group hypothesized that conversion arthroplasty for patients with intramedullary nails (IMNs) is more complex from a surgical and resource utilization perspective than for those with screw fixation.MethodsTHA conversion cases were reviewed retrospectively from 2012 to 2020 from 6 surgeons across 3 institutions. The included cohort had 106 patients with fixation in the proximal femur for prior traumatic events. Demographics, operative data, outcomes, and implant information were collected from the medical record. The conversion THA group was categorized by preoperative fixation type: closed reduction and percutaneous pinning/screw fixation (CRPP) or IMN.ResultsNo age or body mass index differences were observed between the cohorts. Prior to conversion THA, IMN patients had undergone more surgeries than CRPP (P < .05). Perioperatively, the IMN cohort sustained increased blood loss (P < .001), had longer surgeries (P < .0001), had longer length of hospital stays (P < .01), necessitated trochanteric plates more often (P < .05), were readmitted more (P < .05), and required additional follow-up surgery (P < .01) than the CRPP cohort.ConclusionsConversion THA of a prior IMN implant is associated with worse perioperative outcomes than conversion of a CRPP construct. Surgeons, health systems, and payors should consider these differences when caring for these distinct groups of patients.

Personalised 3D Assessment of Trochanteric Soft Tissues Improves HIP Fracture Classification Accuracy.

Project description:Passive soft tissues surrounding the trochanteric region attenuate fall impact forces and thereby control hip fracture risk. The degree of attenuation is related to Soft Tissue Thickness (STT). STT at the neutral hip impact orientation, estimated using a regression relation in body mass index (BMI), was previously shown to influence the current absolute risk of hip fracture (ARF0) and its fracture classification accuracy. The present study investigates whether fracture classification using ARF0 improves when STT is determined from the subject's Computed-Tomography (CT) scans (i.e. personalised) in an orientation-specific (i.e. 3D) manner. STT is calculated as the shortest distance along any impact orientation between a semi-automatically segmented femur surface and an automatically segmented soft tissue/air boundary. For any subject, STT along any of the 33 impact orientations analysed always exceeds the value estimated using BMI. Accuracy of fracture classification using ARF0 improves when using personalised 3D STT estimates (AUC = 0.87) instead of the BMI-based STT estimate (AUC = 0.85). The improvement is smaller (AUC = 0.86) when orientation-specificity of CT-based STT is suppressed and is nil when personalisation is suppressed instead. Thus, fracture classification using ARF0 improves when CT is used to personalise STT estimates and improves further when, in addition, the estimates are orientation specific.

Sonographic Assessment of the Umbilical Cord.

Project description:The umbilical cord (UC) is a vital connection between fetus and placenta. It constitutes a stable connection to the fetomaternal interface, while allowing the fetal mobility that is of great importance for fetal development in general and fetal neuromotor development in particular. This combination of mechanical stability and flexibility is due to the architecture of the UC. There is however a range of umbilical cord complications that may be life threatening to the fetus and these too can be explained to a large extent by the cord's structural characteristics. This review article discusses clinically relevant aspects of UC ultrasound.

Role of Suppressive Oral Antibiotics in Orthopedic Hardware Infections for Those Not Undergoing Two-Stage Replacement Surgery.

Project description:Background. The use of suppressive antibiotics in treatment of orthopedic hardware infections (OHIs), including spinal hardware infections, prosthetic joint infections, and infections of internal fixation devices, is controversial. Methods. Over a 4-year period at 2 academic medical centers, patients with OHI who were treated with debridement and retention of hardware components, with single-stage exchange, or without surgery were studied to determine whether use of oral antibiotics for at least 6 months after diagnosis impacts successful treatment of the infection at 1 year after diagnosis. Results. Of 89 patients in the study, 42 (47.2%) were free of clinical infection 1 year after initial diagnosis. Suppressive antibiotics used for at least 6 months after diagnosis was not associated with being free of clinical infection (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 5.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], .74-37.80), but being on suppressive antibiotics at least 3 months after diagnosis was associated with being free of clinical infection (OR, 3.50; 95% CI, 1.30-9.43). Causative organisms impacted the likelihood of success; patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus as well as with Gram-negative rods were both less likely to have achieved clinical success at 1 year after surgery (aOR = 0.018, 95% CI = .0017-.19 and aOR = 0.20, 95% CI = .039-.99, respectively). Conclusions. Oral suppressive antibiotic therapy in treatment of OHI with retention of hardware for 3 months, but not 6 months, postdiagnosis increases the likelihood of treatment success. The organisms implicated in the infection directly impact the likelihood of treatment success.

Tear resistance of soft collagenous tissues.

Project description:Fracture toughness characterizes the ability of a material to maintain a certain level of strength despite the presence of a macroscopic crack. Understanding this tolerance for defects in soft collagenous tissues (SCT) has high relevance for assessing the risks of fracture after cutting, perforation or suturing. Here we investigate the peculiar toughening mechanisms of SCT through dedicated experiments and multi-scale simulations, showing that classical concepts of fracture mechanics are inadequate to quantify and explain the high defect tolerance of these materials. Our results demonstrate that SCT strength is only modestly reduced by defects as large as several millimeters. This defect tolerance is achieved despite a very narrow process zone at the crack tip and even for a network of brittle fibrils. The fracture mechanics concept of tearing energy fails in predicting failure at such defects, and its magnitude is shown to depend on the chemical potential of the liquid environment.

Assessment of Korea's Orthopedic Research Activities in the Top 15 Orthopedic Journals, 2008-2017.

Project description:Background:Bibliometrics is increasingly used to assess the quantity and quality of scientific research output in many research fields worldwide. This study aims to update Korea's worldwide research productivity in the field of orthopedics using bibliometric methods and to provide Korean surgeons and researchers with insights into such research. Methods:Articles published in the top 15 orthopedic journals between 2008 and 2017 were retrieved using the Web of Science. The number of articles, citations and h-index (Hirsch index), funding sources, institutions, and journal patterns were analyzed. Results:Of the total 39,494 articles, Korea's contribution accounted for 5.6% (2,161 articles), ranking fifth in the world in the number of publications. Korea ranked sixth (with 29,456) for total citations worldwide but ranked 17th (13.64) in terms of average citation per item and 14th (55) in terms of h-index. Korea showed the most prolific productivity in the field of sports medicine and arthroscopy. The institution that produced the highest number of publications was Seoul National University (n = 386, 17.9%). Conclusions:Orthopedic research in South Korea demonstrated high productivity in terms of the number of publications in high-quality journals between 2008 and 2017. However, total citations and average citations per article were still relatively low. Efforts should be made to increase citation rates for further improvement in research productivity in the field of orthopedics.

Evolutionary biomechanics: hard tissues and soft evidence?

Project description:Biomechanical modelling is a powerful tool for quantifying the evolution of functional performance in extinct animals to understand key anatomical innovations and selective pressures driving major evolutionary radiations. However, the fossil record is composed predominantly of hard parts, forcing palaeontologists to reconstruct soft tissue properties in such models. Rarely are these reconstruction approaches validated on extant animals, despite soft tissue properties being highly determinant of functional performance. The extent to which soft tissue reconstructions and biomechanical models accurately predict quantitative or even qualitative patterns in macroevolutionary studies is therefore unknown. Here, we modelled the masticatory system in extant rodents to objectively test the ability of current muscle reconstruction methods to correctly identify quantitative and qualitative differences between macroevolutionary morphotypes. Baseline models generated using measured soft tissue properties yielded differences in muscle proportions, bite force, and bone stress expected between extant sciuromorph, myomorph, and hystricomorph rodents. However, predictions from models generated using reconstruction methods typically used in fossil studies varied widely from high levels of quantitative accuracy to a failure to correctly capture even relative differences between macroevolutionary morphotypes. Our novel experiment emphasizes that correctly reconstructing even qualitative differences between taxa in a macroevolutionary radiation is challenging using current methods. Future studies of fossil taxa should incorporate systematic assessments of reconstruction error into their hypothesis testing and, moreover, seek to expand primary datasets on muscle properties in extant taxa to better inform soft tissue reconstructions in macroevolutionary studies.

Dynamic Hip Examination for Assessment of Impingement During Hip Arthroscopy.

Project description:Arthroscopic procedures for treatment of hip pathology are growing exponentially as a result of continued improvements in the understanding of intra- and extra-articular hip anatomy and technological advancements in instrumentation. Nevertheless, it has been reported that the main cause of revision hip arthroscopy is related to a suboptimal intrasurgical management of the abnormal morphology in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Under-resection, over-resection, and in some cases combined under-resection and over-resection at different locations of the cam lesion at the femoral head-neck junction may lead to poor outcomes as a result of residual impingement or the iatrogenic creation of structural instability. Thus, an intraoperative assessment technique capable of revealing in real time the effect of the resection is vital for a successful procedure. Therefore, we present a technical note describing our preferred method to dynamically assess overall hip range of motion, motion at risk, and evaluation of the osteoplasty after surgical correction of FAI.

Sonographic Assessment of Hand Injuries: Diagnostic Accuracy and Review of Pathology.

Project description:Background: The high soft-tissue contrast of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) makes it useful for evaluation of hand injuries, but its limitations include cost, imaging artifacts, and patient claustrophobia. Ultrasound is readily available, fast, noninvasive, and radiation free, but its utility for the evaluation of hand soft-tissue injury and pathology is less well known. Purpose: We sought to examine the accuracy of ultrasound for the evaluation of hand injury at a single institution. Methods: We queried a radiology information system for ultrasound cases between 2014 and 2020 at a tertiary care institution using the keyword "hand" and injury terms. We performed a retrospective chart review of cases found according to the type of injury detected on ultrasound. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in hand injury and pathology, we recorded postimaging clinical diagnoses and surgical findings. Results: We found 154 patients who underwent ultrasound for hand injuries and had confirmed surgical diagnosis and/or robust clinical follow-up. Tendon injury was the most commonly diagnosed condition on ultrasound (70/154); others detected were retained foreign body (31), mass (21), ligamentous injury (9), pulley injury (8), nerve injury (11), and traumatic arthropathy (4). Ultrasound correctly characterized hand injury in 150/154 cases (97.4%) based on surgical and/or clinical follow-up. Ultrasound failed to diagnose 3 cases of partial tendon tear and 1 case of digital nerve injury. Conclusion: In this retrospective, single-institution review, ultrasound was found to be highly accurate in the detection of soft tissue hand injury and pathology, demonstrating a high concordance rate with surgical and clinical findings. Further study is warranted.
