The extent of injured minimus muscle has a minor impact on the clinical outcome particularly not on the abduction strength within the first postoperative year. The main function of the gluteus minimus is rather the centralization of the femoral head in the joint during the gait cycle than hip abduction and stabilization of the pelvis. The use of a straight stem with the associated need for lateral femoral preparation may be a risk factor for minimus tendon damage. Therefore, the surgeon should pay special attention to the prevention of surgical trauma to the gluteus minimus muscle during femoral preparation. ...

However, we could see differences in the indications for the two percutaneous techniques. Participants of this study found more indications for KP versus VP in cases of painful A1.2 and A3.1 fractures due to osteoporosis, metastasis, and trauma. About half of the respondents reported that VP is indicated for osteoporotic and pathologic A1.1 fractures. This study offers only limited conclusions. Open questionnaires and prospective data from all clinicians performing these procedures should be analyzed to offer more specific information.

Therefore, the absolute majority of fractures and dislocations were treated non-operatively. Development of operative treatment of fractures was influenced by three major inventions: anaesthesia (1846), antisepsis (1865) and X-rays (1895). The first to use external fixation is traditionally considered to be Malgaigne (1843). However, his devices cannot be considered as external fixation. Von der Höhe, in 1843, fixed a non-union of the femur by inserting into both fragments a couple of screws transversely connected outside the wound. Von Langenbeck in 1855 treated a non-union of the humerus with screws connected by a devise designed for this purpose. ...

Though DB reconstructions were significantly superior to SB reconstruction under simulated KT 1000 test, SB as well as DB reconstruction failed to restore the intact kinematics under simulated pivot shift loads. The clinical relevance of this study is that caution and precise preoperative diagnostics are needed to avoid failure of intra-articular ACL reconstruction if the extra-articular stabilizers are torn.

Failure in in vivo studies must be explained by other factors of the intra-articular environment, such as cytokines or biomechanics.

Despite clinical and radiographic bone healing, however, a substantial subset of patients will have a less than optimal functional outcome.

To avoid arthrotomy-related morbidity, the impressed fragment was retrograde addressed using navigated guidance and reduced indirectly under arthroscopic control. Via the retrograde intraosseous tunnel a biodegradable screw was used as a buttress against the fragment to prevent a re-dislocation. The fracture healed without any complications and the patient re-administered her sports activities at 10 weeks follow-up. This procedure enables an accurate reduction and stable fixation of joint depression fragments via a minimal invasive approach.

Careful selection of patients and proper preoperative planning including length of resection are essential for optimal outcomes and to minimize complications. Reconstruction should be supported by cortico-cancellous autograft/allograft for stabilization and union at junction of host and autograft/allograft bone and should be given adequate protection.

Materials and methods  We prospectively studied 96 patients (110 hips), 48 men and 48 women (mean age 46.8 years, mean body mass index 26.1) who had undergone cementless THR (titanium stem, press-fit cup, Al2O3 ball, XLPE liner) at a mean of 17.4 months (SD 13.4). Results  The semi-computerized evaluation of wear rate showed wear of 0.25 mm (SD 0.3) corresponding to a volume of 97.6 mm3 (SD 121.1) during the first year. It was remarkable that the annual rate of wear was significantly lower in the second year: 0.14 mm (SD 0.1), 60.0 mm3 (SD 78.7). The implant surviva...

A biopsy showed a poorly differentiated metastasis of a papillary thyroid carcinoma, the patient had been operated on 8 years ago. This case emphasizes that in patients with malignancies such as papillary thyroid carcinomas long-term courses (over years) with several phases of tumor spread occur finally leading to filiae in any location. Thus, in such patients, a metastatic lesion even in unusual places such as the periarticular soft tissue should be included in the differential diagnosis.

The technique should help us to detect intraoperative malplacement of the screws more reliably than conventional fluoroscopy and allows an immediate correction of malplaced implants. Therefore, a postoperative computed tomography to control the position of implants is dispensable.

This review evaluates the common medical problems that arise as a consequence of having a hip fracture. Older patients with fractures commonly have co-morbidities that require evaluation prior to and after surgery. Joint acute orthopaedic–geriatric units have been established to provide comprehensive orthopaedic and medical care with some studies showing a reduction in postoperative complications and mortality. Recommendations surrounding the care of the older orthopaedic patient include early surgical fixation, the use of prophylactic antibiotics and thromboembolic prophylaxis, good perioperative pain control to improve ambulation, delirium detection and management to decrease the ...

Accelerated rehabilitation programs for THA are becoming increasingly popular to shorten hospital stay and to facilitate rapid restoration of function. The goals of these rehabilitation programs could be more easily achieved if immediate unrestricted weight bearing (UWB) could be allowed after a THA. So far, however, immediate weight bearing is frequently contraindicated in widely accepted protocols for uncemented THA due to fear for subsidence and absence of osseous integration of the femoral stem. Thus, frequently protected weight bearing and restricted activities are still ad...

Also, as the intra operative evaluation needs enough clinical experience and it can not be performed in cases requiring femoral shortening for reduction, we consider pre operative evaluation of femoral anteversion by MRI as essential rather than adjunctive.

The goals of replantation are to restore circulation and regain sufficient function and sensation of the amputated part. Strict selection criteria are necessary to optimize the functional result. The management of this type of injuries includes meticulous preoperative management, microsurgical experience and continuous postoperative care. Among various factors influencing the outcome, the most important are the type and the level of injury, ischemia time, history of diabetes, age, sex, and smoking ...

(Orthop Trans 18:1055–1056, 1995). The concept of temporary reduction using one-third tubular plates proved useful in aiding metaphyseal and periarticular fracture fixation also. However, planning the strategic location of final plate was the main limitation with this technique using one-third tubular plates. We used 2.0 mini plates as provisional reduction plates that solved the issue of planning and placement of plates. The main advantage of our technique is that the final definitive plate can be applied directly over the mini plates. Here, we will describe our technique using relevant fractu...

Exactly which anatomical structures can thereby be resected without interfering with stability, and when, respectively how, additional stabilization is essential, has not been adequately investigated so far. The present investigation describes kinetic changes in a surgically treated motion segment as well as in its adjacent segments. Material and methods  Segmental biomechanical examination of nine human lumbar cadaver spines (L1 to L5) was performed without preload in a spine-testing apparatus by means of a precise, ultrasound-guided measuring system. Thus, samples consisting of four free motion segments were made available. Besides mea...

Due to the diagnostic obscurity of the full extent of the injury, computed tomography (CT) with 3D reconstruction was utilized to precisely visualize the articular condition and revealed the presence of small intra-articular bone fragments and calcaneo-cuboid subluxation. Furthermore, the detailed imaging offered valuable information for preoperative planning. Patient has healed without sequelae. In light of the good outcome in this case, we suggest utilizing CT with 3D reconstruction when there is a risk to overlook foot dislocation and potential associated lesions.

The TRAIL/DR4 receptor system is a molecular mediator of apoptosis induction in TFC cells and therefore plays a role in cell loss in degenerative disc lesions.

However, the option for a bursal-side partial-thickness rotator cuff tear includes the preservation of as much of the remaining intact fibers as possible. Instead of inserting suture anchors in the medial row, as in the conventional suture-bridge technique, two mattress sutures are inserted into the rotator cuff. Full-thickness access is achieved using a percutaneous spinal needle and medial mattress sutures to preserve the articular bone attachment of the remnant fibers and to compress the repaired tendon on the footprint. Our method can help preserve the remnant rotator cuff tendon without tissue damage and can...

The procedure provides stable fixation, avoids risk to vital structures below the clavicle, and is associated with a low rate of implant-prominence problems.

A correlation between limb rotation, anatomic mechanical angle, mechanical angles measured at femur and tibia and the femoral component distance ratio was established. As the anatomic mechanical angle and the femoral component distance ratio change linearly in the range of 20° internal and external limb rotation, a calculation of the femoral component distance ratio could be used to re-calculate the limb rotation at the time of radiographic assessment to evaluate the evidence of a long leg radiograph.

Although other factors like disuse or pain as a reason for muscular changes cannot be fully excluded, this degeneration might occur after time due to biomechanical changes after reversed arthroplasty. However, prospective studies with longer follow-up periods and repetitive assessment of muscle quality are necessary to further support these results.

In view of ethiopathology of osteoporosis and the future demographic development an increasing socioeconomic burden has to be estimated. A prerequisite for an effective secondary prophylaxis of osteoporotic fractures is the implementation of a treatment network, with inclusion of all partners involved in patient’s care.

Bleeding predisposition does not exclude malignancy. The evacuation of hematomas should include pathologic examination of tissue. Prognosis is dismal due to early metastatic disease.

The patient received a proximally porous-coated stem that had not fully circumferentially coated surface, and, therefore, polyethylene wear particles could be transported to the distal stem tip area by fluid pressure generated from the hip joint during activity. Biologic reaction to polyethylene wear particles had then produced the extensile osteolytic lesion extending to the extramedullary diaphysis of the femur that presented as a solitary thigh mass mimicking a soft tissue tumor.

Recently, a report was issued on arthroscopic decompression through a communication hole and posterior capsulotomy through the glenohumeral joint. However, complete cystectomy is not possible using these methods if a cyst is large or extends anteriorly. Here, the authors describe a method of extra-articular complete cystectomy through the bursal space, which was used in three patients with large spinoglenoid cysts that extended anteriorly. All three patients were able to return to work without restriction, and in the two patients that underwent follow-up MRIs, cysts were completely resolved and the infraspinatus muscle mass had partially recovered.

However, 63% of patients would undergo hardware removal again. Preoperative diagnostic infiltration can help to predict the outcome but results are inconsistent. Communication difficulties may worsen the outcome. Surgeons should consider these results when planning implant removal and patients should be informed thoroughly to avoid too high expectations.

The first one is to use the long screw. Its entry point is placed as close to pelvic brim as possible, and the entry direction is parallel to the quadrilateral surface. The second one is to use the short screws whose lengths are 14, 12 and 10 mm and locate them in the region between the pelvis brim and 0.5-cm entry point, between 0.5- and 1.0-cm entry point, between 1.0- and 1.5-cm entry point, respectively, regardless of the direction of the screw placement. The third one is to take quadrilateral surface as a reference plane, and adjust the medial angulation of the screw placement according to different...

Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii have drawn much attention from the medical professionals because it is difficult to manage such infections, and because the mortality related to such infections is high. To date, no cure of gouty arthritis and septic arthritis meanwhile complicated by antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii infection has been reported. We cured such a patient of intractable knee infection caused by A. baumannii resistant to all conventional antibiotics including imipenem by taking comprehensive measures including surgery, and infect...

At physical examination, there was hematoma at the upper leg with loss of strength at extension of the hip and flexion of the knee. Both patients had a palpable gap just distal of the ischial tuberosity. Further imaging by sonography and MR-scan showed a rupture of the proximal hamstring tendon. Treatment was operative refixation of the hamstring tendons at the ischial tuberosity. Aftertreatment consisted of brace for 4 weeks after operation. Both patients returned to their pre-operatively sports, though at a lower level. Surgical treatment of a complete proximal rupture of the hamstrings is recommended in case of sportive patients.

Materials and methods  A total of 76 patients treated conservatively for proximal humerus fracture were included in this cohort study. Performing an MRI examination at the time of injury and after 12 months, tears of the rotator cuffs were classified as partial- or full thickness. The fractures were classified, according to the AO classification, and the degree of tubercle displacement and humeral head inclination evaluated at 12 months. Constant score was used as outcome measure. Results  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...

Larger series with clinical follow-up after triple proximal interlocking in tibial nailing should be undertaken to further clarify these questions.

Biomechanical studies have suggested the benefit of using locking screws for plate fixation, but there are concerns whether screws damage the cement mantle and promote crack propagation leading to construct failure. Method  In this biomechanical study, different screw types were implanted into the cement mantle after pre-drilling holes of different sizes, in unicortical and bicortical configuration. The presence of cracks and the pull-out resistance of these screws were then evaluated. Results  No unicortical screw induced cracks. Screws with a shortened tip, smaller flutes and double threads were significantly better for pull...

Whereas the implantation of an antegrade humerus nail, which necessarily includes a splitting of the rotator cuff, nearly halves the functional capillary density of the supraspinatus tendon. Even though this effect seems to be reversible, the surgical dissection of the supraspinatus tendon should be performed in a soft tissue sparing way.

With low rates of humeral nonunion, 95% spontaneous nerve recovery in closed fractures and 94% in grade 1 and 2 open fractures, one has the opportunity of waiting. If at 10–12 weeks there are no clinical/EMG signs of recovery, then nerve exploration/secondary reconstruction is indicated. Late tendon transfers may also give good/excellent functional results.

A significant implant related problem with the use of pre contoured locking plate in proximal tibia fractures is the hardware irritation of the subcutaneous tissue by upper end of plate. This is caused by the large profile of the implant which sits off the bone at the proximal end. A general recommendation made by some is to try and reduce the bone and plate together with the help of pelvic reduction clamps. We have identified this as a source of error in our practice which has a potential to introduce malalignment in tibia, most often discovered post operatively. Here we...

Implementation of updated logistical and clinical features is expected to increase rehabilitation and reduce LOS with similar or improved patient satisfaction. These results support the implementation of fast-track total hip- and knee arthroplasty.

Plain radiographs revealed no bony abnormality around the foot or ankle, but a sessile exophytic bony growth at the proximal fibula. A positive Tinel sign in this area led us to a suspicion of compressive neuropathy of the peroneal nerve, and a subsequent electrophysiologic study confirmed the entrapment neuropathy. The peroneal nerve was decompressed by excisional biopsy. At 3 months postoperatively, normal full extension of the great toe was completely restored. The current case deserves attention in that the only clinical manifestation of peroneal nerve entrapment neuropathy by the osteochondroma at ...

The osteonecrotic lesion occurred in the same area as a large bone bruise, which was sustained at the time of the initial injury. We hypothesize that the combination of bone bruising and femoral tunnel drilling for ACL reconstruction may have compromised the overall vascularity of the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone, thereby resulting in osteonecrosis.

At 18 months post-primary THA the patient underwent further revision hip surgery after numerous (more than 20) dislocations. She had a tripolar Trident acetabular cup (Stryker-Howmedica-Osteonics, Rutherford, New Jersey) inserted. Shortly afterwards the unusual mode of failure of the constrained acetabular liner was noted from radiographs in that the inner liner had dissociated from the outer. The reinforcing ring remained intact and in place. We believe that the patient’s weight, combined with poor abductor musculature caused excessive demand on the device leading to failure at this interface when the patient flexed forward. Constrained acetabular components are useful implants to treat instability but have been sh...

The intramedullary nail with neck cross pinning should be the first consideration of internal fixation. Massive impaction allograft is the key technique to improve full incorporation of allograft and to prevent pathological fracture.
