Outcomes of 3-D corrective osteotomies for paediatric malunited both-bone forearm fractures.

ABSTRACT: Closed treatment of paediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures carries the risk of re-displacement, which can lead to symptomatic malunions. This is because growth will not correct angulation deformity as it does in metaphyseal fractures. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the outcomes after 3-D-planned corrective osteotomy with patient-specific surgical guides for paediatric malunited forearm fractures causing impaired pro-supination. Our primary outcome measure was the gain in pro-supination at 12 months follow-up. Fifteen patients with a mean age at trauma of 9.6 years and time until osteotomy of 5.9 years were included. Preoperatively, patients displayed a mean pro-supination of 67° corresponding to 44% of the contralateral forearm. At final follow-up, this improved to 128°, achieving 85% of the contralateral side. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that predictors of greater functional gain after 3-D corrective osteotomy are severe preoperative impairment in pro-supination, shorter interval until 3-D corrective osteotomy and greater angulation of the radius.Level of evidence: III.

Factors determining outcome of corrective osteotomy for malunited paediatric forearm fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify predictors of a superior functional outcome after corrective osteotomy for paediatric malunited radius and both-bone forearm fractures. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of individual participant data, searching databases up to 1 October 2016. Our primary outcome was the gain in pronosupination seen after corrective osteotomy. Individual participant data of 11 cohort studies were included, concerning 71 participants with a median age of 11?years at trauma. Corrective osteotomy was performed after a median of 12?months after trauma, leading to a mean gain of 77° in pronosupination after a median follow-up of 29?months. Analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis revealed that predictors of superior functional outcome after corrective osteotomy are: an interval between trauma and corrective osteotomy of less than 1?year, an angular deformity of greater than 20° and the use of three-dimensional computer-assisted techniques.Level of evidenceII.

Conversion to below-elbow cast after 3 weeks is safe for diaphyseal both-bone forearm fractures in children.

Project description:BackgroundIt is unclear whether it is safe to convert above-elbow cast (AEC) to below-elbow cast (BEC) in a child who has sustained a displaced diaphyseal both-bone forearm fracture that is stable after reduction. In this multicenter study, we wanted to answer the question: does early conversion to BEC cause similar forearm rotation to that after treatment with AEC alone?Children and methodsChildren were randomly allocated to 6 weeks of AEC, or 3 weeks of AEC followed by 3 weeks of BEC. The primary outcome was limitation of pronation/supination after 6 months. The secondary outcomes were re-displacement of the fracture, limitation of flexion/extension of the wrist and elbow, complication rate, cast comfort, complaints in daily life, and cosmetics of the fractured arm.Results62 children were treated with 6 weeks of AEC, and 65 children were treated with 3 weeks of AEC plus 3 weeks of BEC. The follow-up rate was 60/62 and 64/65, respectively with a mean time of 6.9 (4.7-13) months. The limitation of pronation/supination was similar in both groups (18 degrees for the AEC group and 11 degrees for the AEC/BEC group). The secondary outcomes were similar in both groups, with the exception of cast comfort, which was in favor of the AEC/BEC group.InterpretationEarly conversion to BEC cast is safe and results in greater cast comfort.

Paediatric forearm fractures: the increasing use of elastic stable intra-medullary nails.

Project description:This paper entails a clinical review of outcomes and complications of 19 consecutive paediatric patients having undergone elastic stable intramedullary nailing for diaphyseal forearm fractures over a one year period. The mean age of patients was 9 years. The majority were male with a ratio of 17:2. In this group there were two patients with grade 1 open fractures. Four of the fractures required open reduction due to difficulty in reduction and soft tissue interposition. All fractures went on to osseous union with minimal deformity and full recovery. There were three complications which included one EPL rupture requiring delayed repair, one EPB partial rupture repaired at time of surgery, and one superficial radial nerve injury. Two patients also presented with nails penetrating the skin prior to removal. Elastic stable intramedullary nails offer good fixation to control deformity in midshaft forearm fractures for paediatric patients. However there is a high rate of possible complications around the radial insertion point.

[Elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) in the treatment of both-bone forearm fractures in the child: about 87 cases].

Project description:This study aims to describe the complications of elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) in the treatment of both-bone forearm diaphyseal fractures in the child. Between January 2009 and December 2013, 87 children with both-bone forearm diaphyseal fractures were treated by elastic stable intramedullary nailing with Métaizeau nails. 76 boys and 11 girls, with an average age of 12 years, were enrolled in the study. Nailing was promptly performed in 50 cases and after secondary displacement during plaster-cast treatment in the other cases. Both bones were nailed in all cases. All patients underwent systematic plaster immobilization for a period of about one month. On average, nails were removed after about 6 months. Functional outcomes were studied over a mean follow-up period of 10 months. Complications were marked by 14 superficial infections (14 cases), osteitis associated with material (2 cases), refracture (3 cases), pseudarthrosis (3 cases), delayed fracture consolidation (2 cases) and proximal radioulnar synostosis (1 case). Although intramedullary nailing ideally is an osteosynthesis technique suitable for the treatment of fractures in children, it is more invasive than orthopaedic treatment.Indications for treatment should remain within well-established limits.

The emerging trend of non-operative treatment in paediatric type I open forearm fractures.

Project description:Open fractures are considered an orthopaedic emergency and are generally an indication for operative debridement. Recent studies have questioned this approach for the management of Gustilo-Anderson Type I open fractures in the paediatric population. This meta-analysis studies the non-operative management of Type I open paediatric forearm fractures.An Ovid MEDLINE and PubMed database literature search was performed for studies that involved a quantified number of Gustilo-Anderson Type I open forearm fractures in the paediatric population, which were treated without operative intervention. A fixed-effect meta-analysis, weighting each study based on the number of patients, and a pooled estimate of infection risk (with 95% confidence interval (CI)) was performed.The search results yielded five studies that were eligible for inclusion. No included patients had operative debridement and all were treated with antibiotics. The number of patients in each study ranged from 3 to 45, with a total of 127 paediatric patients in the meta-analysis. The infection rate was 0% for all patients included. The meta-analysis estimated a pooled infection risk of 0% (95% CI 0 to 2.9).The five included studies had a total of 127 patients with no cases of infection after non-operative management of Type I open paediatric forearm fractures. The infection rate of Type I fractures among operatively managed patients is 1.9%. The trend in literature towards non-operative treatment of paediatric Type I open fractures holds true in this meta-analysis.

Accuracy of 3D Virtual Planning of Corrective Osteotomies of the Distal Radius.

Project description:Corrective osteotomies of the distal radius for symptomatic malunion are time-tested procedures that rely on accurate corrections. Patients with combined intra- and extra-articular malunions present a challenging deformity. Virtual planning and patient-specific instruments (PSIs) to transfer the planning into the operating room have been used both to simplify the surgery and to make it more accurate. This report focuses on the clinically achieved accuracy in four patients treated between 2008 and 2012 with virtual planning and PSIs for a combined intra- and extraarticular malunion of the distal radius. The accuracy of the correction is quantified by comparing the virtual three-dimensional (3D) planning model with the postoperative 3D bone model. For the extraarticular malunion the 3D volar tilt, 3D radial inclination and 3D ulnar variance are measured. The volar tilt is undercorrected in all cases with an average of -6 ± 6°. The average difference between the postoperative and planned 3D radial inclination was -1 ± 5°. The average difference between the postoperative and planned 3D ulnar variances is 0 ± 1 mm. For the evaluation of the intraarticular malunion, both the arc method of measurement and distance map measurement are used. The average postoperative maximum gap is 2.1 ± 0.9 mm. The average maximum postoperative step-off is 1.3 ± 0.4 mm. The average distance between the postoperative and planned articular surfaces is 1.1 ± 0.6 mm as determined in the distance map measurement. There is a tendency to achieve higher accuracy as experience builds up, both on the surgeon's side and on the design engineering side. We believe this technology holds the potential to achieve consistent accuracy of very complex corrections.

Low-Profile, Suture Anchor Tension Band Construct for Olecranon Fractures and Osteotomies.

Project description:Olecranon fractures are common and frequently require surgical intervention when they are displaced or unstable. Treatment is largely dictated by fracture type and surgeon preference. Traditional methods of fixation, including tension band wiring and locking plate fixation, have adequate union rates; however, both techniques are associated with increased reoperation rates due to symptomatic hardware. The aim of this article is to describe a technique using a low-profile, suture anchor tension band construct for simple transverse olecranon fractures, triceps avulsions, and olecranon osteotomies. The goal of this technique is to produce stable fixation and allow early range of motion while mitigating the reoperation rate caused by symptomatic or prominent hardware with olecranon plate fixation during fracture and olecranon osteotomies.

Increasing rates of surgical treatment for paediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures: a National Database Study from 2000 to 2012.

Project description:Purpose fractures are one of the most commonly sustained injuries in children and are often treated non-operatively. The purpose of this study was to estimate the rate of inpatient surgical treatment of paediatric forearm fractures over time using a large, publicly available, national database.The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) was evaluated between 2000 and 2012. Forearm fractures and surgeries were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9 CM) diagnosis and procedure codes. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to determine variables associated with greater proportion of surgical treatment. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS statistical software v.9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.The database identified 30 936 forearm fracture admissions. Overall, 19 837 of these patients were treated surgically (64.12%). The percentage of patients treated with surgery increased from 59.3% in 2000 to 70.0% in 2012 (p < 0.001). Multivariable regression analysis found increased age (p < 0.001), more recent year (p < 0.001), male gender (p = 0.003) and admission to a children's hospital (p < 0.001) were associated with an increased proportion of patients receiving surgical treatment. Medicaid payer status was associated with a lower proportion of surgical treatment (p < 0.001).The rate of operative treatment for paediatric forearm fractures admitted to the hospital increased over time. Increased surgical rates were associated with older age, male gender, treatment at a children's hospital and non-Medicaid insurance status.

Corrective Osteotomies of Phalangeal and Metacarpal Malunions Using Patient-Specific Guides: CT-Based Evaluation of the Reduction Accuracy.

Project description:BackgroundSurgical planning of corrective osteotomies is traditionally based on conventional radiographs and clinical findings. In the past 10 years, 3-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning approaches with patient-specific guides have been developed. However, the application of this technology to posttraumatic deformities of the metacarpals and phalangeal bones has not yet been investigated. Our goal was to evaluate the feasibility of the surgical application to the latter and to evaluate the extent and precision of correction.MethodsWe present results of 6 patients (8 osteotomies) treated with phalangeal or metacarpal corrective osteotomy. Deformities were located in the third ray in 1, fourth ray in 3, and fifth ray in 4 cases. Six malunited metacarpal bones (1 intra-articular) and 2 deformed proximal phalanges were treated. Computer-based 3D preoperative planning using the contralateral hand as a template allowed the production of 3D-printed patient-specific guides that were used intraoperatively for navigation. The precision of the reduction was assessed using pre- and postoperative computed tomography by comparing the postoperative bone model with the preoperatively simulated osteotomy. Range of motion and grip strength were documented pre- and postoperatively.ResultsThe mean follow-up time was 6 months (range: 5-11 months). Rotational deformity was reduced from a mean of 10.0° (range: 7.2°-19.3°) preoperatively to 2.3° (range: 0.7°-3.7°) postoperatively, and translational incongruency decreased from a mean of 1.4 mm (range: 0.7-2.8 mm) to 0.4 mm (range: 0.1-0.9 mm).ConclusionPreliminary results indicate that a precise reduction for corrective osteotomies of metacarpal and phalangeal bones can be achieved by using 3D planning and patient-specific guides.

Posterior interosseous nerve palsy after closed proximal forearm fractures.

Project description:Although rare, posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) palsy can occur in patients with a closed proximal forearm fracture and may present in a delayed fashion after initial trauma. In this case series, three cases of posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) injury following proximal forearm fractures are presented and discussed. Our literature search yielded six studies concerning PIN injury in radial head/neck fractures and proximal forearm fractures. Out of a total of 8 patients, 7 patients were treated non-operatively and in one patient a PIN release was performed. One patient was lost to follow-up, all other 7 patients showed successful recovery. A treatment algorithm for PIN palsy after proximal forearm fractures is provided. Based on our experience and what we found in literature, it seems safe to treat PIN palsies conservatively.
