Project description:Background. Endoscopic ultrasound- (EUS-) guided drainage is generally performed under fluoroscopic guidance. However, improvements in endoscopic and EUS techniques and experience have led to questions regarding the usefulness of fluoroscopy. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of EUS-guided drainage of extraluminal complicated cysts without fluoroscopic guidance. Methods. Patients who had undergone nonfluoroscopic EUS-guided drainage of extraluminal complicated cysts were enrolled. Drainage was performed via a transgastric, transduodenal, or transrectal approach. Single or double 7 Fr double pigtail stents were inserted. Results. Seventeen procedures were performed in 15 patients in peripancreatic fluid collections (n = 13) and pelvic abscesses (n = 4). The median lesion size was 7.1?cm (range: 2.8-13.0?cm), and the mean time spent per procedure was 26.2 ± 9.8 minutes (range: 16-50 minutes). Endoscopic drainage was successful in 16 of 17 (94.1%) procedures. There were no complications. All patients experienced symptomatic improvement and revealed partial to complete resolution according to follow-up computed tomography findings. Two patients developed recurrent cysts that were drained during repeat procedures, with eventual complete resolution. Conclusion. EUS-guided drainage without fluoroscopic guidance is a technically feasible, safe, and effective procedure for the treatment of extraluminal complicated cysts.

Project description:Pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) can provide extremely valuable objective data in select patients. They are usually advanced by floatation of balloon tip along the normal blood flow and their placement is confirmed under pressure waveform guidance. Imaging such as fluoroscopy is often employed in low flow states and in cardiac catheterization suite to reduce the failure rate and time to wedge; but is not readily available at bedside. In critically ill patient, bedside insertion is feasible but can be complicated by repeated attempts to float the balloon tip through various cardiac chambers. Point of care ultrasound can be used to visualize the balloon tip of PAC inside the cardiac chambers alongside the confirmatory pressure waveform changes.

Project description:Ultrasound guided musculoskeletal injection has a wide range of indication in joint, muscle, tendon, nerve, ganglion and bursa pathologies. These are less invasive procedures and provide desirable results in short duration. Local anesthetics and corticosteroids are the most commonly injected pharmaceuticals. Platelet rich plasma and autologus blood injections have gained popularity in recent past and provide acceptable results. In this article we aim to review the general consideration, indications, technique and pharmaceuticals used in common therapeutic musculoskeletal injections.

Project description:BackgroundThe Cotton osteotomy, or dorsal-opening wedge osteotomy of the medial cuneiform (MC), is used to address medial column alignment to restore the static-triangle of support. There are many described techniques regarding the incision and osteotomy. Successful completion of the osteotomy requires knowledge of the anatomy, particularly the location of the medial dorsal cutaneous nerve (MDCN). This study describes the relationship between MDCN, tibialis anterior, extensor-hallucis-longus tendon, and ligamentous attachments to the MC. A technique to determine a safe location for the osteotomy is also described.MethodsTwelve fresh-frozen adult foot specimens were used for this study (7 male and 5 female). The MDCN and its branches were dissected and its relationship with the MC was documented. Osteotomy tilt angle and relationship to structures around the MC were measured.ResultsMDCN traveled medially and distally over the dorsum of the MC, and a small branch to the MC was observed. The tilt angle was 80.1 ±1.4 degrees. There was no significant difference between the distance from the distal-articular surface to the midline of the cuneiform and to the interosseous ligament (P = .69), or between the distance from the distal-articular surface to the second tarsometatarsal joint and to the origin of the Lisfranc ligament (P = .12).ConclusionsThe dorsal-medial-oblique incision effectively protected MDCN and the MC. We believe the osteotomy should be performed in the safe zone to maintain the stability of the opening wedge.Clinical relevanceThe dorsal-medial-oblique incision could reduce the risk of injury to the MDCN and the tibialis-anterior tendon.

Project description:PurposeTo review the current literature to determine which injection technique and needle portal placement provide the greatest accuracy for intra-articular access to the knee.MethodsThis study followed Preferred Reporting Items and Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in March 2020 and repeated in May 2020 using electronic databases PubMed, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library. Data on the accuracy of intra-articular knee injection (successful injections/total number of injections) were collected. Only Level I studies were included. Study design, demographic variables, needle sizes, and method of validating accuracy were recorded. The Jadad score was used to assess methodologic quality, and a risk-of-bias assessment was performed.ResultsA total of 12 Level I human studies (1431 patients, 1315 knees) were included in this review. Seven of the studies did a direct comparison between ultrasound-guided and blind knee injections. Ultrasound-guided injections were more accurate compared with blinded knee injections in every study. The most accurate anatomical approach was an isometric quadricep contraction method with the superolateral approach.ConclusionsThis study showed that ultrasound-guided knee injections were more accurate across every anatomical needle injection site compared with blind injections. Injections made by a blind/anatomically guided method had inconsistent accuracy rates that seemed highly dependent on the portal of entry.Level of evidenceLevel I, systematic review of Level I studies.

Project description:BackgroundWhile proximal first metatarsal osteotomy combined with distal soft tissue realignment is accepted as standard treatment of moderate to severe hallux valgus with metatarsus primus varus, none of the described proximal metatarsal osteotomies address the hyper-obliquity of the first metatarsocuneiform joint. An opening-wedge osteotomy of the medial cuneiform can potentially correct the 1-2 intermetatarsal angle (IMA) in addition to normalizing the hyper-obliquity of the first tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively review the early radiographic and clinical results of the use of a medial cuneiform opening-wedge osteotomy fixed with a low-profile wedge plate combined with distal soft tissue realignment for the treatment of hallux valgus.MethodsFourteen feet (13 patients; 2 male and 11 female, average age 56 years, range 22-75) with hallux valgus underwent an opening-wedge osteotomy of the medial cuneiform fixed with a low-profile nonlocking wedge plate combined with distal soft tissue realignment. The mean preoperative hallux valgus angle (HVA) was 32 degrees and the IMA was 16 degrees. HVA, 1-2 IMA, proximal first metatarsal inclination (PFMI), and presence of osteoarthritis of the first TMT joint were assessed on preoperative and final postoperative radiographs. Final postoperative radiographs were also evaluated for radiographic union and hardware failure at an average of 7 months (range, 3-19 months) postoperatively.ResultsA mean intraoperative correction of 19 degrees and 7 degrees was achieved for the HVA and IMA, respectively. The mean HVA was 22 degrees and the mean IMA was 11 degrees at the time of final follow-up. At final follow-up, a recurrence of the deformity was observed in 12/14 feet. There were 2 nonunions-one plate failure and one screw failure. No first TMT joint instability or arthritis was observed. All patients were ambulatory without assistive device in either fashionable or comfortable shoe wear.ConclusionMedial cuneiform opening-wedge osteotomy resulted in unreliable correction of HVA and IMA at short-term follow-up with a high rate of early recurrence of hallux valgus deformity and a complication rate similar to that of the Lapidus procedure. This procedure cannot be recommended for addressing hallux valgus in the setting of increased obliquity of the first TMT joint.Level of evidenceLevel IV, case series.

Project description:ObjectiveThis umbrella review synthesizes systematic reviews and meta-analyses to reach a conclusion concerning the overall effectiveness of ultrasound-guided vs landmark-guided injections for treating musculoskeletal pain.DesignUmbrella review.MethodsPubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Web of Science were searched for relevant systematic reviews and meta-analyses from inception to March 2024. Critical appraisal, data extraction, and synthesis were performed in accordance with the criteria for conducting an umbrella review.ResultsSeventeen articles, comprising 4 systematic reviews and 13 meta-analyses, were included. Using the AMSTAR2 instrument for quality assessment, 3 articles were rated as high quality, 1 as moderate, 7 as low, and 6 as critically low. Generally, ultrasound-guided injections were found to be more accurate than landmark-guided injections, particularly in the shoulder joint, though the results for pain relief and functional outcomes varied. Ultrasound guidance was notably effective for injections into the bicipital groove, wrist, hip, and knee - yielding greater accuracy and improved pain management. Both ultrasound-guided and landmark-guided techniques showed low incidence of adverse effects.ConclusionThis umbrella review offers an in-depth analysis of the comparative effectiveness of ultrasound-guided and landmark-guided injections across a range of musculoskeletal sites/conditions. The findings suggest that ultrasound-guided is a reliable method.

Project description:Management of medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries usually consists of time and conservative management; however, patients are typically immobilized and need extensive time to return to sport. Although the MCL has been shown to have the ability to heal given time, surgical management is still sometimes needed to provide stability to the knee. Operative techniques vary in methodology, but are typically highly invasive and technically demanding. In the event of multiligamentous or severe injuries, reinforcing the MCL with an ultrahigh-strength, 2-mm-wide suture tape allows for early functional rehabilitation, permitting the native MCL tissue to heal and avoiding late reconstructions. This technical report details an ultrasound-guided technique for the percutaneous suture tape augmentation and stabilization of the MCL with or without repair. Ultrasound allows for anatomic percutaneous placement of the sockets, as opposed to landmark palpation guidance that has proven to be unreliable. This is a simple, quick procedure that provides instant stability to the MCL with or without operating on the ligament itself, allowing patients to return to activity faster with the reduced risk of reinjury due to less muscle atrophy and loss of function.

Project description:BackgroundCancer-related pelvic pain can be difficult and debilitating to treat. Superior hypogastric plexus neurolysis (SHPN) is a good choice for adequate pain relief with fewer side effects. The current study compared between fluoroscopic anterior approach and ultrasound guided SHPN in the management of cancer-related pelvic pain.MethodsPatients were randomly allocated into two equal groups. The ultrasound group (US group) (n = 48) received SHPN by an ultrasound-guided anterior approach using 3 ml 5% bupivacaine plus 20 ml 10% phenol, while the fluoroscopy group (n = 48) received SHPN by a fluoroscopy-guided anterior approach using 3 ml 5% bupivacaine plus 20 ml 10% phenol.ResultsThe time of the procedure was shorter in the fluoroscopic group (21.31 ± 4.79 min) than the US group (24.88 ± 6.02 min) (P = 0.002). Patient satisfaction was higher in the fluoroscopy group (5.38 ± 1.482) than the US group (2.98 ± 1.495) (P˂0.001). The need for analgesia using morphine was significantly limited in each group, at 1, 2 and 3 months intervals (P1˂0.001, P2 ˂0.001 and P3 ˂0.001). There were statistically significant differences between both groups regarding fatigue at baseline, drowsiness at 3 months, nausea and vomiting at 1, 2 and 3 months and anorexia at 3 months. Group comparison also revealed statistically significant differences regarding depression at one month, anxiety at 2 and 3 months and insomnia at baseline.ConclusionThe fluoroscopic anterior approach SHPN was more superior than the US guided SHPN regarding the time of the procedure and patient satisfaction, while both technique were similar regarding the numeric rating scale and the complications during block.Trial registrationRegistered in the ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT05299047) at 28/03/2022.
