Project description:Articular cartilage injuries in young patients pose a notable treatment dilemma. Multiple reported techniques exist, although some of the most prominent methods currently rely on multiple procedures for chondrocyte harvest and colony expansion prior to implantation. The associated cost and effort this requires limits availability on a global basis, which creates a need for a more widely available cartilage procedure. This Technical Note describes a method for cartilage restoration that incorporates autologous chondrocytes in allogenic extracellular matrix, along with biologic augmentation all performed in a single stage.

Project description:IntroductionThe reconstruction of large acetabular defects in revision hip arthroplasty represents a challenge to the surgeon and increases the complexity of the case. There are different options to overcome the problem of acetabular deficiency. In the elderly low demand patients, the main objective of revision surgery is to provide pain relief, allow immediate full weight bearing, and an early return to function.MethodsThis article presents our experience in acetabular revision surgery using a novel technique of two stage cementation and screw augmentation in low demand patients. We report on the surgical technique and present the early results in 10 patients.ResultsThere were 6 females and 4 males with average age of 83.8 years. Patients were followed up for an average of 18.1 months. All patients were pain free and full weight bearing at the time of the final follow up with radiographs showing maintenance of implant position. None of the patients underwent revision surgery and there were no radiographic signs of failure detected in the early follow-up period.ConclusionThis is a suitable technique in the management of large acetabular defects in revision hip arthroplasty, especially in the low demand patient population. It is a simple cost-effective technique that reduces the complexity of the acetabular revision, operative time, and morbidity associated with prolonged complex revision surgery.

Project description:Chronic proximal patellar tendinopathy is a challenging condition for its troublesome management in the active patient and difficulty in defining the failure of conservative treatment to indicate surgery. Usually, patients with chronic proximal patellar tendinopathy have already tried several physiotherapeutic modalities and are away from their preferred physical activities for variable periods. The current literature presents some open and even arthroscopic options for treating recalcitrant patellar tendinopathy using a variable magnitude of resources and costs. The purpose of this article was to depict a very simple and inexpensive surgical option for treating this condition, which can be applied worldwide.

Project description:BackgroundCalcaneofibular impingement is characterized by lateral hindfoot pain and is commonly resulting from calcaneal fracture malunion or severe flatfoot deformity. Lateral calcaneal wall decompression has been used successfully to relieve pain in patients who have calcaneofibular impingement. However, in cases of severe impingement and hindfoot valgus, lateral wall excision may leave only a small remnant of calcaneal bone for weightbearing and can lead to chronic heel pain. We describe a surgical technique using a medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy (MDCO) combined with a lateral wall exostectomy and report on the outcomes from our series of patients.MethodsRetrospective study of a single surgeon's patients was done from 2010 to 2020 who underwent medial slide calcaneal osteotomy and lateral wall exostectomy for calcaneofibular impingement. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient characteristics. Our study included 9 patients, 6 females and 3 males, with a mean age of 59 years (range: 19-77) and a mean follow-up of 62 weeks (range: 6-184).ResultsFive had an Achilles split approach, 2 had an oblique lateral approach, and 1 had an extensile lateral approach. Patients achieved radiographic relief of impingement and improvement in pain. Minor skin and soft tissue complications occurred in 3 patients, all of which were associated with laterally based incisions, and all resolved after a 10-day course of oral antibiotics. No major complications, emergency department visits, or readmissions occurred.ConclusionsMDCO and lateral wall exostectomy was a safe and effective treatment for severe calcaneofibular impingement.Level of evidenceLevel IV, retrospective case series.

Project description:ObjectiveTo compare the surgical outcomes of debridement, antibiotics, and single-stage total hip replacement (DASR) vs two-stage arthroplasty (two-stage arthroplasty) for chronic destructive septic hip arthritis (SHA).MethodsCases of chronic destructive SHA treated by DASR or two-stage arthroplasty in our department from January 2008 to October 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographic information, perioperative inflammation markers, intraoperative blood loss, microbial culture, and metagenomic new generation sequencing results were recorded. The perioperative complications, hospital stay, hospitalization cost, infection recurrence rate, and Harris Hip Score (HHS) at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups.ResultsA total of 28 patients were included in the study, including 11 patients who received DASR and 17 patients who received two-stage arthroplasty. There was no significant difference in demographic information, preoperative serum inflammatory markers, synovial fluid white blood cell count, or percentage of polymorphonuclear leukocytes between the two groups. The DASR group demonstrated significantly lower intraoperative blood loss [(368.2 ± 253.3) mL vs (638.2 ± 170.0) mL, p = 0.002], hospital stay [(22.6 ± 8.1) days vs (43.5 ± 13.2) days, p < 0.0001], and hospitalization expenses [(81,269 ± 11,496) RMB vs (137,524 ± 25,516) RMB, p < 0.0001] than the two-stage arthroplasty group. In the DASR group, one patient had dislocation as a complication. There were no cases with recurrence of infection. In the two-stage arthroplasty group, there was one case complicated with spacer fracture, one case with spacer dislocation, and one case with deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs. There were no cases with recurrence of infection. There were no significant differences in the readmission rate, complication rate, or HHS at the last follow-up between the two groups.ConclusionsBoth DASR and two-stage arthroplasty achieved a satisfactory infection cure rate and functional recovery for chronic destructive SHA, and DASR demonstrated significantly lower intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and hospitalization costs than two-stage arthroplasty. For appropriately indicated patients, if microbial data are available and a standardized debridement protocol is strictly followed, DASR can be a treatment option.

Project description:Although there were many prior studies about exotropia, few focused on large-angle intermittent exotropia. The goal of this study was to evaluate single-stage surgical outcomes for large-angle intermittent exotropia and analyze risk factors that may affect the success of surgery. Records from intermittent exotropia patients with exodeviations >60 prism diopters(PD) who were surgically treated at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, of Sun Yat-Sen University were reviewed. Included within this review were data on, pre- and post-operative ocular motility, primary alignment, binocular vision and complications. Patients with exodeviations ≤70PD received two-muscle surgery, while those with exodeviations >70PD were subjected to a three-muscle procedure. A total of 40 records were reviewed. The mean exodeviation was 73±9PD at distance and 75±26PD at near. There were 25 patients received two-muscle surgery and 15 the three-muscle procedure. Orthophoria (deviation within 8PD) was obtained in 77.5% of these patients and the ratios of surgical under-correction and over-correction were 15% and 7.5% respectively. However, when combining ocular alignment with binocular vision as the success criteria, success rates decreased to 30%. No statistically significant differences in success rates were obtained between the two- and three-muscle surgery groups. Seven subjects experienced an abduction deficit during the initial postoperative stages, but eventually showed a full recovery. One patient required a second surgery for overcorrection. No statistically significant risk factors for poor outcome were revealed. Our data showed that single-stage two- and three-muscle surgeries for large-angle intermittent exotropia are effective in achieving a favorable outcome.

Project description:ObjectivesWe sought to evaluate the contemporary results after repair of a complete atrioventricular septal defect and to determine the factors associated with suboptimal outcomes.MethodsThe demographic, procedural, and outcome data were obtained within 1 and 6 months after repair of a complete atrioventricular septal defect in 120 children in a multicenter observational study from June 2004 to 2006.ResultsThe median age at surgery was 3.7 months (range, 9 days to 1.1 years). The type of surgical repair was a single patch (18%), double patch (72%), and a single atrial septal defect patch with primary ventricular septal defect closure (10%). The incidence of residual septal defects and the degree of left atrioventricular valve regurgitation (LAVVR) did not differ by repair type. The median interval of intensive care stay were 4 days, ventilation use 2 days, and total hospitalization 8 days. All were independent of the presence of trisomy 21 (80% of the cohort). The in-hospital mortality rate was 2.5% (3/120). The overall 6-month mortality rate was 4% (5/120). The presence of associated anomalies and younger age at surgery were independently associated with a longer hospital stay. The age at repair was not associated with residual ventricular septal defect or moderate or greater LAVVR at 6 months. Moderate or greater LAVVR occurred in 22% at 6 months, and the strongest predictor for this was moderate or greater LAVVR at 1 month (odds ratio, 6.9; 95% confidence interval, 2.2-21.7; P < .001).ConclusionsThe outcomes after repair of complete atrioventricular septal defect did not differ by repair type or the presence of trisomy 21. An earlier age at surgery was associated with increased resource use but had no association with the incidence of residual ventricular septal defect or significant LAVVR.

Project description:While proximal hamstring tears at the myotendinous junction are common sports-related injuries that are often successfully treated nonoperatively, complete avulsions from the origin on the ischial tuberosity are less common and better treated with surgical repair to prevent significant functional limitations and ongoing weakness. The diagnosis can be easily missed, leading patients to present several months after the initial injury. In addition, some patients decide on nonoperative management initially but later present requesting surgical intervention. The delayed cases are challenging due to often significant tendon retraction, making direct repair difficult if not impossible. Techniques using allograft and autograft reconstruction have been described for this clinical situation. This Technical Note describes the use of 2 Achilles tendon allografts fixed via 5 suture anchors to reconstruct a chronic complete avulsion injury of the proximal hamstring with >5-cm retraction.

Project description:A safe technique for entry incisions and closure in stage 5 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) surgery is being described. Three 23G clear corneal incisions are made which allow for safe and snug entry of 25G calibrated infusion and 25G instruments for performing lensectomy, membrane removal and vitrectomy. At the end of surgery, air is injected and corneal entries are hydrated for sutureless closure. The technique was performed in 50 eyes of 36 children with stage 5 ROP. The hybrid technique ensured safe entry and exit with stable anterior chamber during surgery. None of the cases developed retinal breaks during surgical entry nor had any complications such as hypotony, flat anterior chamber, hyphaema or corneal edema in post operative period. Clear corneal entry using 23G incisions for 25G instrument access is a safe and effective technique for performing lensectomy and vitrectomy with sutureless closure in cases with stage 5 ROP.
