To our knowledge, little is reported about the management of the patients with combined symptomatic osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) and varus ankle malalignment. Treatment strategies for symptomatic OLTs are relatively well described in the orthopaedic literature. While less defined than the surgical management of OLTs, realignment procedures for the varus ankle and hindfoot have also been studied and reported in some detail, albeit with a focus on management of ankle arthritis. In this article we review practical concepts from the orthopaedic literature that may be applied when treating patients with concomitant ...

AbstractPainful patellar crepitus is a potential complication in up to 14% of patients following posterior‐stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A recent clinical study identified influential patient and surgical variables by comparing a group of crepitus patients with controls matched for age, sex, and body mass index. The purpose of our study was to evaluate effects of variables identified as significant in the clinical study, including patellar ligament length, femoral component flexion, patellar button size, and position of the joint line, on contact between the quadriceps tendon and the PS femoral component...

CONCLUSIONS: A high prevalence of asymptomatic VF is verified in medical inpatients ≥50years of age. The FRAX index did not turn out to be predictive of the presence of VF in this population. There is an underdiagnosis of osteoporotic VF in the coding at hospital discharge. Action protocols are necessary to avoid clinical inactivity regarding this entity.

According to an investigation published on bmj.com, hip fractures are 35% more likely to occur in post-menopausal women if they take indigestion medications, known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). This figure rises to 50% if the women are former or current smokers. Globally, PPIs are one of the most prevalent drugs used, and are often used to treat acid reflex and heartburn. However, PPIs can prevent calcium absorption, which leads to the increased risk of fractures... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Conclusion
This large study had several strengths. Unlike some previous studies, it collected information on and took into account other key risk factors for fracture, including body weight, smoking, alcohol use and physical activity. It also looked at the women’s use of PPIs every two years (rather than just asking them once) and took into account variations in use during this time in their analysis.
However, as the authors note, it also had some limitations:
It did not ask about the brands of PPI used, nor the doses of PPI the women took, both of which could affect risk of fracture.

Are stand‐alone cages sufficient for anterior lumbar interbody fusion?Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) has increased in popularity because it has advantages over posterior fusion. Because there is disagreement about the stability of stand‐alone cage ALIF, some surgeons use various types of supplementary fixation, including anterior plates, pedicle screw systems and translaminar screws, to increase segmental stability. Many factors associated with both the cages and endplates influence the time of onset and extent of subsidence after use of stand‐alone cage ALIF. A large round cage with an adequate central opening is recommended to facilitate maximum contact with the periphery of t...

Optimizing the osteogenicity of nanotopography using block co‐polymer phase separation fabrication techniquesEmail this article to a colleague.

AbstractBoth temporary and permanent orthopedic implants have, by default or design, surface chemistry, and topography. There is increasing evidence that controlling nanodisorder can result in increased osteogenesis. Block co‐polymer phase separation can be used to fabricate a nanotopography exhibiting a controlled level of disorder, both reproducibly and cost‐effectively. Two different topographies, produced through the use of block co‐polymer phase separation, were embossed onto the biodegradable thermoplastic, polycaprolactone (PCL). Analysis of the topography itself was undertaken with atomic force microscopy, an...

AbstractInfections of percutaneous osseointegrated prostheses (POP) cause prolonged morbidity and device failure because once established, they are refractory to antibiotic therapy. To date, only limited translational animal studies have investigated the efficacy of POP designs in preventing infections. We developed an animal model to evaluate the efficacy of a porous‐coated titanium (Ti) subdermal barrier to achieve skin–implant integration and to prevent periprosthetic infection. In a single‐stage “amputation and implantation” surgery, 14 sheep were fitted with percutaneous devices with an attached porous‐coa...
