Partial Scapholunate Interosseous Ligament Injuries: A Systematic Review of Treatment Options
Conclusion All interventional treatment options (ES, AC, and OC) provided significant improvements in patient-reported pain, range of motion, grip strength, and radiographic parameters, with low complication rates. In comparison, no improvement in range of motion or grip strength was noted in the NT group. Therefore, surgical management of pSLIL injuries is an effective and relatively safe treatment option. Further studies comparing the outcomes of specific surgical treatments are warranted to further elucidate the optimal management option for pSLIL tears. Level of Evidence Level III, systematic review of Level III...

Perineural Adductor Canal Catheter Placement for Prevention of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome-I Exacerbation After Knee Arthroscopy: A Case Report
We present a case of CRPS-I triggered by knee surgery on multiple prior occasions but finally prevented by perineural adductor canal catheter placement. The literature presents only moderate evidence supporting interventions such as intravenous regional anesthesia and sympathetic blockade; continuous nerve blockade may be an effective treatment of CRPS-I and in particular postoperative CRPS-I.

Influence of vitamin C on the incidence of CRPS-I after subacromial shoulder surgery
ConclusionsThe present study found that VC administered prophylactically for 50  days postoperatively is effective in preventing CRPS-I development after SaSS. CRPS-I is a common complication following SaSS, especially in the setting of an open approach. The authors recommend preventive management with VC and arthroscopic approaches when possible for SaSS.Level of evidence IIIRetrospective comparative study.

Do Orthopedic Trauma Surgeons Adhere to AAOS Guidelines when Treating Distal Radius Fractures?
Conclusions: When compared to the AAOS CPG and AUC, orthopedic trauma surgeons generally followed accepted treatment guidelines. Differing practices between surgeons with <10 years in practice compared to those with >10 years in practice may be reflective of what is taught in residency training programs.

Arthroscopically-assisted mini open partial synovectomy for the treatment of localized pigmented villonodular synovitis of the knee. A retrospective comparative study with long-term follow up
ConclusionsArthroscopically-assisted mini open partial synovectomy is a safe alternative treatment, especially for surgeons without extended experience in arthroscopic techniques. The arthroscopic localization of the precise position of the lesion and its subsequent mini-open excision is a safe and effective technique with very low morbidity and recurrence rate and equivalent functional outcome to fully arthroscopic excision due to limited incision.Level of evidenceRetrospective comparative study, Level III.

Arthroscopic Release of Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder Complicated With Shoulder Dislocation and Brachial Plexus Injury.
Authors: Nunez FA, Papadonikolakis A, Li Z Abstract The incidence of brachial plexus injury after shoulder dislocation or arthroscopic shoulder surgery is low. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is an uncommon but painful condition that can develop after nerve injury. Historically, CRPS has been difficult to treat and therapeutic efforts are sometimes limited to ameliorating symptoms. However, if a dystrophic focus can be identified, the condition can be addressed with surgical exploration for potential neurolysis or nerve repair. The present article reports on a case of type II CRPS that developed in the postop...

St. Jude Medical’s Axium chronic pain device makes its U.S. debut
St. Jude Medical (NYSE:STJ) today announced the U.S. debut of its Axium neurostimulator system, after the device won FDA approval in February for treating chronic pain. The 1st patients were implanted in West Virginia and California with the Axium device, which uses dorsal root ganglion stimulation to treat moderate to severe chronic intractable pain of the lower limbs in adult patients with complex regional pain syndrome, St. Jude said. The Axium is slated to be implanted in 25 states in the coming weeks, with 100 procedures due in the 1st month after launch, the Little Canada, Minn.-based company said. “Si...

Complications of knee arthroscopy.
DISCUSSION: Nowadays, the systematic education of arthroscopic surgeons using simulators, models, and cadavers, in addition to shadowing experienced arthroscopists, is required to offer patients the best therapeutic options. PMID: 26486644 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Neuromodulation of the Cervical Dorsal Root Ganglion for Upper Extremity Complex Regional Pain Syndrome—Case Report
ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the only reported case of utilizing DRG stimulation for CRPS of the distal upper extremity. Neuromodulation of the DRG appears to be an effective option for targeting painful areas in CRPS.

(380) Dorsal root ganglion stimulation: an effective treatment for intractable pain in the upper extremity due to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
A 43-year-old female underwent a right elbow arthroscopy with ORIF after sustaining a radial head fracture. Several months after her surgery, she experienced hyperesthesia, skin color changes, decreased ROM, and weakness distal to the right olecranon. Based on the Budapest criteria set, she was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome I (CRPS). Aggressive physical therapy, NSAIDs, and neuropathic agents provided mild relief. Open capsular release, hardware removal, and chondral debridement of the elbow did not alleviate her symptoms.

Minimally invasive surgery of distal radius fractures: A series of 20 cases using a 15mm anterior approach and arthroscopy.
This study reports the results of minimally invasive surgical treatment of distal radius fractures using a 15mm incision with arthroscopic assistance. This was a retrospective series of 20 distal radius fractures in young or middle-aged patients caused by high-energy trauma and/or with articular involvement. The surgical procedure included two stages: fixation using a locking plate and then arthroscopy. The incision for plating was always 15mm long. Arthroscopy was used to reduce osteochondral fragments in two cases and to suture and pin six scapholunate lesions. After a mean follow-up of 4.3 months, the mean pain score wa...

Complex regional pain syndrome type I of the knee: A systematic literature review
In conclusion, the scientific literature does report cases of CRPS type I of only the knee(s). This appl ies when using the diagnostic criteria prevailing at the time of publication and, obviously for a smaller number of cases, also when using the current Budapest criteria set. Arthroscopic knee surgery is described multiple times as the inciting event. We recommend to include CRPS of the knee in futur e research on the aetiological mechanisms of and optimal treatment for CRPS.
