Hip Arthroscopy for Synovial Chondromatosis: Tips and Tricks.

ABSTRACT: Hip arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the management of synovial chondromatosis. Removal of osteochondral fragments (OCFs) from the central and peripheral compartments is crucial for the relief of mechanical symptoms and subsequent joint destruction. Direct access to the central compartment is often limited because of the ball-and-socket morphology and limitation of traction. We present our surgical technique for removing OCFs and a new method for the removal of a large loose body using a nitinol stone retrieval basket. The technique facilitates removal of difficult-to-access fragments from the central compartment. Moreover, this technique allows removal of far-medial OCFs from the peripheral compartment.

A molecular study of synovial chondromatosis.

Project description:Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a rare benign cartilaginous neoplasm in which recurrent fibronectin 1 (FN1) and activin receptor 2A (ACVR2A) gene rearrangements have been recently reported. Triggered by a case of malignant transformation in SC (synovial chondrosarcoma) showing a novel KMT2A-BCOR gene fusion by targeted RNA sequencing, we sought to evaluate the molecular abnormalities in a cohort of 27 SC cases using a combined methodology of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and/or targeted RNA sequencing. Results showed that FN1 and /or ACVR2A gene rearrangements were noted in 18 cases (67%), with an FN1-ACVR2A fusion being confirmed in 15 (56%) cases. Two cases showed only FN1 gene rearrangement, without other abnormalities. A novel FN1-NFATc2 gene fusion was noted in one case by RNA sequencing. The remaining nine cases showed no abnormalities in FN1 and ACVR2A genes. No additional cases showed BCOR gene alterations. In conclusion, this study confirms that FN1-ACVR2A fusion is the leading pathogenetic event in SC, at even higher frequency than previously reported. FISH methodology emerges as an appropriate tool in the identification of FN1 and ACVR2A gene abnormalities, which can be used in challenging cases. Further studies are needed to determine the recurrent potential of BCOR abnormalities in this disease.

Synovial Chondromatosis: A Rare Differential Diagnosis of Hip Pain in a Child.

Project description:Primary synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a disease of the synovium occurring in the third to fifth decade of life with the peak incidence in the fifth decade and commonly involves the knee in 50% cases. The diagnosis of SC is primarily radiological and intraoperative. Primary SC of the hip is rare, and their prevalence is not known.A 7-year-old female child presented with pain and limp left hip for 6 weeks. She had a stiff hip gait. Clinical examination revealed a fixed abduction, flexion deformity, and restricted internal rotation with apparent lengthening of 2 cm. The ultrasonography revealed synovial effusion with synovial deposits. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed features of tuberculous synovitis, inflammatory synovitis, or a rare possibility of SC. Arthrotomy was performed following failed hip aspiration. Multiple chondral loose bodies were noted on incision of capsule. Partial synovectomy was also performed. The synovium histopathology revealed multiple synovial chondral inclusions. A final diagnosis of SC was made.We report this case of primary SC, 7-year-old female patient with symptoms of hip pain, limp, and fixed deformities restricting hip function as a first of its kind in the mentioned age group. Hence, although rare SC may be considered as one of the differential diagnosis in hip symptoms in children <10 years of age.

Vascular Involvements in Cholangiocarcinoma: Tips and Tricks.

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive malignancy of the biliary tract. To date, surgical treatment remains the only hope for definitive cure of CCA patients. Involvement of major vascular structures was traditionally considered a contraindication for resection. Nowadays, selected cases of CCA with vascular involvement can be successfully approached. Intrahepatic CCA often involves the major hepatic veins or the inferior vena cava and might necessitate complete vascular exclusion, in situ hypothermic perfusion, ex situ surgery and reconstruction with autologous, heterologous or synthetic grafts. Hilar CCA more frequently involves the portal vein and hepatic artery. Resection and reconstruction of the portal vein is now considered a relatively safe and beneficial technique, and it is accepted as a standard option either with direct anastomosis or jump grafts. However, hepatic artery resection remains controversial; despite accumulating positive reports, the procedure remains technically challenging with increased rates of morbidity. When arterial reconstruction is not possible, arterio-portal shunting may offer salvage, while sometimes an efficient collateral system could bypass the need for arterial reconstructions. Keys to achieve success are represented by accurate selection of patients in high-volume referral centres, adequate technical skills and eclectic knowledge of the various possibilities for vascular reconstruction.

Extra-articular Synovial Chondromatosis Eroding and Penetrating the Acromion.

Project description:Synovial chondromatosis of the shoulder is an uncommon disorder. It usually affects the glenohumeral joint and is characterized by metaplasia of the synovium leading to the formation of osteochondral loose bodies. Few cases of extra-articular subacromial synovial chondromatosis involving the rotator cuff tendon have been reported in the literature. The treatment of previously reported cases consisted of open bursectomy and removal of loose bodies. We report a case of subacromial synovial chondromatosis without rotator cuff involvement but with severe erosion and fracture of the acromion. Treatment consisted of shoulder arthroscopy to remove all loose bodies, total bursectomy, and debridement of the acromion. Potential benefits of arthroscopy were also evaluated.

Systematic Arthroscopic Treatment of Synovial Chondromatosis of the Knee.

Project description:Synovial chondromatosis is a benign metaplastic disease of the synovial joints, characterized by the development of cartilaginous nodules in the synovium. Treatment generally includes open or arthroscopic loose body removal combined with a synovectomy. An all-arthroscopic approach has been described to minimize complications and reduce morbidity while providing adequate control of local disease. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our techniques and technical pearls that allow for adequate excision of disease while minimizing complications and disease recurrence. The combination of patient positioning, the establishment of multiple arthroscopic portals to ensure optimal visualization and freedom of instruments, the use of a leg holder, and the use of a variety of surgical instruments to facilitate loose body removal and synovectomy is critical to optimize clinical outcomes and minimize complications. Although technically demanding, our described technique can help facilitate extensive loose body removal and complete synovectomy.

Tips and tricks for endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage.

Project description:Background and aimsPercutaneous gallbladder drainage has traditionally been the reference standard treatment for cholecystitis in patients deemed unfit for surgery. Endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage has emerged as a reliable alternative that offers an internal, incisionless option in nonsurgical patients. The aim of this study was to describe techniques for successful selective cystic duct cannulation and gallbladder drainage during ERCP.MethodsA series of endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder procedures is shown, including endoscopic and fluoroscopic video and images. Each case highlights best practices, devices, and techniques to aid with successful completion of challenging cases.ResultsStandard cystic duct cannulation and gallbladder access is described using a standard catheter and a 0.035-inch angled guidewire. Challenges to selective cystic duct cannulation are overcome using various approaches, including using a rotatable catheter system, downsizing to a smaller guidewire, occluding the proximal common hepatic duct with an occlusion balloon, and directly intubating the cystic duct using peroral cholangioscopy. Dilation of the cystic duct is performed using standard devices designed for biliary intervention, but smaller, percutaneous angioplasty balloons are used for small ducts and severe strictures. After dilation, a plastic, double-pigtail stent is deployed across the papilla, and access is reobtained in a similar fashion to place a second, parallel stent. To eliminate the need to re-access the gallbladder after initial stent deployment, a cytology brush catheter is repurposed to obtain dual-wire access within the gallbladder before initial stent deployment.ConclusionsWhen the fundamentals of ERCP and the techniques described here are used, endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage can be performed safely and effectively to treat cholecystitis in patients who are not surgical candidates.

Endoscopic Resection of the Lateral Ankle Bursa With Synovial Chondromatosis.

Project description:Bursal chondromatosis is synovial chondromatosis of the bursae. It is a rare disease entity that can involve the adventitial bursa of the lateral ankle. Complete synovectomy, removal of loose bodies, and bursectomy comprise the treatment of choice. Detailed preoperative radiologic assessment and surgical planning are the keys to success. Any accompanying synovial chondromatosis of the ankle or subtalar joint or tenosynovial chondromatosis of the peroneal tendon sheath should be treated together with the bursectomy. Endoscopic bursectomy can be performed through the bursal portal. The proximal and distal peroneal tendoscopy portals serve as viewing portals. The resection of the diseased tissues should be performed in a step-by-step zonal manner. Complete synovectomy and removal of loose bodies should be performed before bursectomy. Internal drainage of the bursal sac into the peroneal tendon sheath may be indicated if the sac is adherent to the skin. It should only be performed after complete synovectomy and removal of loose bodies.

Endoscopic mucosal resection: tips and tricks for gastrointestinal trainees

Project description:Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a minimally invasive, specialized endoscopic technique that is useful in resecting superficial gastrointestinal lesions that are unable to be removed by standard polypectomy. This is typically accomplished using a submucosal injection that lifts the lesion away from the muscularis propria to allow for safe resection of the polyp, either via piecemeal or en bloc resection. Over the years, several techniques exist to perform EMR including conventional EMR or hot EMR, cold EMR and underwater EMR. Despite its established advantages and safety over conventional techniques such as surgery, the adoption of endoscopic resection (and thus the education and training of gastroenterology trainees) is lagging. The goal of this article is to offer a comprehensive review of the basic principles of colonic EMR. We review the concepts of optical diagnosis including the various polyp classification systems available to determine the polyp morphology and histology. We also discuss the technical aspects of performing colonic EMR. We also outline the common adverse events associated with EMR including bleeding, perforation, postpolypectomy syndrome, and residual or recurrent polyps, and discuss preventative measures that can be taken to mitigate adverse events. Lastly, we offer practical tips for trainees who want to undertake EMR in their clinical practice.
