Abstract Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), sometimes known as myositis ossificans progressiva, is an ultra-rare disease in which bone is formed in muscular tissue, tendons and ligaments. This is known as heterotopic ossification (HO). FOP is caused by a heterozygous mutation in the highly conserved ACVR1/ALK2 gene which affects about 1 in 1.5–2 million individuals. At birth, patients with the predominant R206H mutation only exhibit a bilateral hallux valgus. During childhood, heterotopic bone formation develops in a typical pattern, affecting the axial muscles first before appendicular body parts are involved. HO can start spontaneously but is often elicited by soft tissue trauma or medical procedures. After soft tissue injury, an inflammatory process called a flare-up can start, followed by the formation of HO. HO leads to a limited range of motion, culminating in complete ankylosis of nearly all joints. As a result of HO surrounding the thorax, patients often suffer from thoracic insufficiency syndrome (TIS). TIS is the most common cause of a limited life expectancy for FOP patients, with a median life expectancy of 56 years. Management is focused on preventing soft-tissue injury that can provoke flare-ups. This includes prevention of iatrogenic damage by biopsies, intramuscular injections and surgery. Anti-inflammatory medication is often started when a flare-up occurs but has a poor basis of evidence. Several forms of potential treatment for FOP are being researched in clinical trials. Progression of the disease is monitored using CT and 18F-NaF PET/CT combined with functional assessments. Patients are regularly evaluated for frequently occurring complications such as restrictive lung disease. Here, we review the current management, monitoring and treatment of FOP.

Introduction Computer navigation and customized 3D-printed jigs improve accuracy during bone tumor resection, but such technologies can be bulky, costly, and require intraoperative radiation, or long lead time to be ready in OR. Methods We developed a method utilizing a compact, inexpensive, non-X-ray based 3D surface light scanner to provide a visual aid that helps surgeons accurately draw osteotomy lines on the surface of exposed bone to reproduce a well-defined preoperative bone resection plan. We tested the accuracy of the method on 18 sawbones using a distal femur hemimetaphyseal resection model and compared it with a traditional, freehand method. Results The method significantly reduces the positional error from 2.53 (±1.13) mm to 1.04 (±0.43) mm (p<0.001), and angular error of the front angle from 2.10° (±0.83°) to 0.80° (±0.66°) (p=0.001). The method also reduces the mean maximum deviation of the bone resection, with respect to the preoperative path, from 3.75mm to 2.69mm (p=0.003). However, no increased accuracy was observed at the back side of the bone surface where this method would not be expected to provide information. Discussion In summary, we developed a novel 3D-LAD navigation technology. From the experimental study, we demonstrated that the method can improve the ability of surgeons to accurately draw the preoperative osteotomy lines and perform resection of a primary bone sarcoma, with comparison to traditional methods, using 18 sawbones.

Abstract Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has emerged as a common cause of hip pain, especially in young patients. While the exact cause of FAI is unknown, it is thought to result from repetitive microtrauma to the proximal femoral epiphysis leading to abnormal biomechanics. Patients typically present with groin pain that is exacerbated by hip flexion and internal rotation. Diagnosis of FAI is made through careful consideration of patient presentation as well as physical exam and diagnostic imaging. Use of radiographs can help diagnose both cam and pincer lesions, while the use of MRI can diagnose labral tears and cartilage damage associated with FAI. Both non-operative and surgical options have their role in the treatment of FAI and its associated labral tears; however, hip arthroscopy has had successful outcomes when compared with physical therapy alone. Unfortunately, chondral lesions associated with FAI have had poorer outcomes with a higher conversion rate to arthroplasty. Capsular closure following hip arthroscopy has shown superior clinical outcomes and therefore should be performed if possible. More recently, primary labral reconstruction has emerged in the literature as a good option for irreparable labral tears. While non-operative management may have its role in treating patients with FAI, hip arthroscopy has developed a successful track record in being able to treat cam and pincer lesions, chondral damage, and labral injuries.

Abstract Short stem hip replacement has not only gained attention but also significance over the past decades. However, there still remains uncertainty regarding the correct indications for these stems. Even companies, producing implants, have varying recommendations that are more likely based on a well-meant advice than on statistically evaluated data. Thus, it is important to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of a short stem prosthesis. The goal of this paper is to reveal some of the existing uncertainty in this field, by analyzing the Metha® short hip stem system. This paper does not only focus on general aspects but also discusses some more specific problems, such as avascular necrosis and post-rheumatic diseases, as well as hip dysplasia and coxarthrosis. The aim is also to convey the opportunity to indicate this type of implant for elderly and obese patients as well as for femoral misalignments following post-Perthes disease, post-traumatic deformities or other malpositions of the hip.

Purpose Closed reduction (CR) is a standard treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after failed conservative treatment. After CR, the affected hip is held in the reduced position by a spica cast that typically extends below the knee (long). Above knee (short) spica cast is an alternative technique utilized by some pediatric orthopedic surgeons. We aimed to compare short versus long spica cast after CR in terms of success rate and complications. Methods Patients who underwent CR with short or long hip spica cast over a 3-year period (2016–2019) were evaluated for the success (sustainability of the reduction) and complications. The acute and long-term success were recorded retrospectively. Acute success was defined as concentric reduction of the hip confirmed by intraoperative arthrogram and immediate postoperative CT scan. Long-term success was defined as maintained reduction at 12 months’ post reduction. Results Forty-seven patients were included in our study. Long spica casts were used in 24 patients and short ones in the remaining 23. The overall acute and long-term success rates were 83% and 66%, respectively. The acute success rate of long spica was 87.5%, while short spica achieved 78.2%. On the long term, the success rate of short spica was higher than long one (73.9% vs 58.3%). Cox regression analysis showed that the type of cast (short vs long spica) was not correlated with acute success (P = 0.405), long-term success (P = 0.263), residual dysplasia (P = 0.405), or avascular necrosis (P = 0.053). Conclusion CR in DDH is an important line of management in the younger patient population and can save them an invasive open surgery later in life. A short leg spica could represent an easier and likely as successful alternative to the traditional long spica. More prospective future research is needed to validate our observational findings. Level of Evidence III.

Background The radiological complications including correction loss and hardware failure of short segment posterior pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures remain a main concern. Several procedures aiming to reinforce the anterior column have been introduced to solve these limitations, including transforaminal interbody fusion (TIF). The purposes of this study were to evaluate the radiological complications of short-segment pedicle screw fixation in combination with transforaminal interbody fusion in the treatment of unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures. Methods This retrospective case series study enrolled patients with isolated unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures, who were treated by posterior short fixation with TIF between January 2013 and January 2017. Patients were followed up for a minimum of one and half years. For evaluation of correction loss, % loss of anterior vertebral body height (%AVB), vertebral kyphotic angle (VA) and regional kyphotic angle (RA) were collected preoperatively, postoperatively and at the final follow-up. Hardware failure was assessed on radiological images at the last follow-up. Results There were 36 patients who met the inclusion criteria with a mean follow-up duration of 53 months. The mean correction loss of %AVB, VA and RA were 10.2%, 2.9° and 5.6°, respectively. There were 6 patients (16.7%) with hardware failure at the final follow-up. Conclusion Short-segment posterior pedicle screw fixation with TIF using bone chip grafts does not completely prevent hardware failure and progressive kyphosis in the treatment of unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures.

Abstract Partial thickness rotator cuff tears have been diagnosed with increased frequency due to heightened awareness and an improvement in diagnostic modalities. When >50% of the tendon thickness has ruptured, intra-tendinous strain of the residual tendon increases. Surgery is generally confined to patients who have failed non-operative measures and have persistent symptoms. The rationale for repairing partial thickness tears lies in their limited self-healing capacity, and propensity to enlarge over time and progress to a full thickness defect. Although tear debridement and acromioplasty can improve pain and function, tear progression can occur, in addition to worse results being noted in bursal-sided defects. Several surgical strategies have been recommended but there is a lack of evidence to advocate one form of treatment over another. The aim of this narrative review is to discuss the treatment options for partial thickness tears of the rotator cuff.

Abstract A post-operative fluid collection (POFC) represents a common finding in both primary and revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Fortunately, most resolve on their own, but in instances where they become symptomatic, prompt identification and management are paramount, especially when they occur adjacent to a joint arthroplasty because of the increased the risk of developing a periprosthetic joint infection. A strong clinical suspicion with appropriate clinical exam is required along with select imaging modalities to arrive at a diagnosis. Meticulous surgical technique is crucial to prevent POFC, but new emerging treatments continue to evolve. This article presents an updated overview of incidence, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of POFC in the setting of TJA. We review the role of select imaging modalities as well as summarize current literature regarding new treatments such as sclerotherapy agents, acellular dermal matrices, and negative pressure wound therapy. Future studies are necessary to explore the interplay of inflammatory mediators in POFC formation and to define their role in fluid collection resolution.

As the epidemic of gunshot injuries and firearm fatalities continues to proliferate in the United States, knowledge regarding gunshot wound (GSW) injury and management is increasingly relevant to health-care providers. Unfortunately, existing guidelines are largely outdated, written in a time that high-velocity weapons and deforming bullets were chiefly restricted to military use. Advances in firearm technology and increased accessibility of military grade firearms to civilians has exacerbated the nature of domestic GSW injury and complicated clinical decision-making, as these weapons are associated with increased tissue damage and often result in retained bullets. Currently, there is a lack of literature addressing recent advances in the field of projectile-related trauma, specifically injuries with retained bullets. This review aims to aggregate the available yet dispersed findings regarding ballistics, GSW etiology, and treatment, particularly for cases involving retained projectiles.

Unfortunately, existing guidelines are largely outdated, written in a time that high-velocity weapons and deforming bullets were chiefly restricted to military use. Advances in firearm technology and increased accessibility of military grade firearms to civilians has exacerbated the nature of domestic GSW injury and complicated clinical decision-making, as these weapons are associated with increased tissue damage and often result in retained bullets.
