Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Radiographs and CT scans cannot be relied on to accurately diagnose intraoperative scaphoid fracture displacement or instability compared with arthroscopic examination. The influence, with regard to the risk of nonunion, of intraoperative instability of a scaphoid fracture that is seen to be nondisplaced on radiographs or CT is currently unknown. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: High-dose-antibiotic bone cement prepared with delayed antibiotic addition increased vancomycin elution compared with the standard surgical preparation. Incorporating additional liquid monomer decreased vancomycin elution from high-dose-antibiotic cement. We recommend preparing high-dose-antibiotic bone cement with the delayed-antibiotic-addition technique and not incorporating additional liquid monomer. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Both the relative volume of liquid monomer and the timing of antibiotic addition have substantial effects on the elution of antibiotic from bone cement.

Abstract
During the past few years numerous arthroscopic and arthroscopically assisted reconstruction techniques for the stabilization of acute high-grade acromioclavicular joint instability have been adapted either from open procedures or have been made arthroscopically applicable. Currently, pulley-like implants are being used at an increasing rate and the short-term and mid-term clinical and radiological results are at least equal to open techniques.

Abstract
Fractures of the lateral clavicle and the acromion are uncommon and represent a separate entity. Fractures of the lateral clavicle demonstrate a high rate of problems, such as non-union, malunion and functional impairment when treated nonoperatively. The aim of any treatment option is full restoration of shoulder function by achieving fracture healing without significant malpositioning. Unstable fracture patterns have to be identified and should be fixed using an appropriate technique, which include plating, K-wire fixation and arthroscopic techniques which bring the dislocated fragments into contact. Disl...

Abstract
Failed conservative treatment or surgical procedures for acute AC joint seperations create the demand for revision or salvage procedures to successfully treat persistent AC joint instability. Besides the classic Weaver-Dunn procedure and its modifications lately new procedures combining a more or less rigid implant for primary stability with a biologic augmentation using an autologous tendon graft have been developed. These procedures are performed arthroscopically or arthroscopically assisted.

Abstract
Regarding imaging diagnostics in case of posttraumatic or postoperative chronic osteomyelitis, x-ray should be the first choice to obtain basic information of the affected bone. Because knowledge of the exact dimensions of the inflammatory changes is essential for adequate therapy planning, diagnostics via cross-sectional imaging is indicated in most cases. In order to adequately estimate the lesion's dimensions, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice in these cases. Nuclear medicine examination techniques such as bone scintigraphy using specially marked granolocyte antibodies are alterna...

Abstract
Treatment for rib fracture pain can be broadly divided into pharmacologic approaches with oral and/or parenteral medication and interventional approaches utilizing neuraxial analgesia or peripheral nerve blocks to provide pain relief. Both approaches attempt to control nociceptive and neuropathic pain secondary to osseous injury and nerve insult, respectively. Success of treatment is ultimately measured by the ability of the selected modality to decrease pain, chest splinting, and to prevent sequelae of injury, such as pneumonia. Typically, opioids and NSAIDs are the drugs of first choice for acute pain because of...

Conclusions The detection of HIZ was not influenced by axial load. With strict PCD, discogenic pain can neither be confirmed when having

Abstract Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic
ossification. FOP is caused by a gain-of-function mutation in ACVR1 encoding the bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor, ACVR1/ALK2. The mutant receptor causes upregulation of a transcriptional
factor, Id1. No therapy is available to prevent the progressive heterotopic ossification in FOP. In an effort to search for
clinically applicable drugs for FOP, we screened 1,040 FDA-approved drugs for suppression of the Id1 promoter activated by the mutant ACVR1/ALK2 in C2C12 cells. ...

Abstract Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a chronic vasculitis, primarily affecting large vessels, such as the aorta and its main branches.
Several reports suggest that the vascular inflammatory process is not always confined to large vessels. Here, a new case of
vasculitis in intra-muscular arteries associated with TA is reported. This case provides further support for the idea that
TA also involves small arterial vessels.

Conclusions According to our results, the TAD should not exceed 25 mm in stable (AO/OTA A1) as well as unstable (AO/OTA A2) fractures.
An increased anterior hip screw placement should be avoided while fracture reduction with a slight valgus Neck Shaft seems
favorable.

November 2010 Cognitive changes after surgery have long been noted, especially in the geriatric population. In this comparison study, the researchers investigated long-term (ie, 13-month) effects of general or regional anesthesia on the cognitive ability of 270 patients older than 65 years who had undergone orthopedic surgery between October 1998 and January 2002. The control group consisted of 310 elderly people from a longitudinal study on cognitive aging who had not had surgery and who had experienced stable cognitive functioning for the past year. The researchers investigated the effects of anesthesia over time using ...

In 2003, my colleagues and I in the anesthesiology department of a university hospital in Patras, Greece, decided to investigate the incidence of hypothermia in postoperative patients who had undergone orthopedic surgical procedures. Orthopedic procedures are of relatively short duration and do not involve open body cavities, and warming devices were used during the surgeries. Thus, we were surprised to find that as many as 74% of the patients arrived hypothermic (ie, with a core temperature

Soy protein with or without isoflavones failed to preserve bone density in gonadal hormone–deficient male rat model of osteoporosisEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Soy with its isoflavones has been shown to positively influence bone mineral density in female ovariectomized rats; hence, we hypothesized a similar effect in orchidectomized (ORX) male rats. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 95 days, were divided into 4 groups and were either sham operated (Sham) or ORX. The ORX groups were fed a soy protein–based diet (SOY), an isoflavone-depleted soy protein diet (SOY−), or a casein based diet for 65 days after surgery. Orchidectomy increased the rate of bone turnover, resulting in reduced bone mineral density and bone mineral content by 3.5% and 14%, respectively, and ...

Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Fracture propensity for 36-mm liners was elevated for cups with decreased anteversion and/or inclination and under conditions of patient obesity. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Factors causing stripe wear, including obesity and cup malpositioning, also involve increased risk of ceramic liner fracture and merit heightened concern.

Primary Osseous Tumors of the Hindfoot: Why the Delay in Diagnosis and Should We Be Concerned?Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians should be aware that hindfoot tumors can be initially misdiagnosed as soft tissue injuries and suspicion of a tumor should be raised in the absence of trauma or persistent symptoms. Lesions affecting the calcaneus are more likely to be malignant. Early diagnosis and adjuvant therapy are important. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
