Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous combined with topical application of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing blood loss in opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). Methods: A total of 60 patients who underwent unilateral OWHTO between May 2018 and May 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. All the patients were then divided into one of the two groups (30 per group): the TXA group, patients receiving intravenous combined with topical application of TXA, and the control group, patients receiving no TXA. Outcome measures were drain volume, total blood loss, hidden blood loss, transfusion requirements, and incidence of complications. Results: The mean follow-up of TXA group was 14.2 2.3 months (range, 13-16 months) and the mean follow-up for the control group was 14.4 2.1 months (range, 13-17 months). No significant difference was found for the follow-up of two groups (P = 0.829). Drainage volume (143.3 65.4 ml vs 307.8 51.4 mL, P < 0.001), hidden blood loss (156.7 63.8 mL vs 286.4 79.1 mL, P < 0.001) and knee swelling (3.2 0.9 vs 6.5 2.1, P < 0.001) in the TXA group was clearly less than that in the control group, and there was no statistical significance with regard to hospitalization time (P = 0.746), transfusion requirements (P = 1.000), wound complications (P = 0.386), deep venous thrombosis (P = 1.000), postoperative Lysholm knee score (P = 0.681) and Knee Injury & Osteoarthritis Outcome subscales pain (P = 0.752), symptoms (P = 0.673), activities of daily living (P = 0.871), sport/recreation function (P = 0.816), and knee-related quality of life (P = 0.576) at 6 months postoperatively. Conclusion: This study has shown that administration of intravenous combined with topical TXA in OWHTO can effectively reduce perioperative blood loss without increasing the incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare duration of surgery, intraoperative fluoroscopy exposure, blood loss and the accuracy of pedicular screw placement between 3D model-assisted surgery and conventional surgery for AO spinal C-type injuries. Methods: In this study 32 patients who were admitted with thoracolumbar AO spinal C-type injuries were included. These patients were divided randomly into two groups of 16 where one group was operated on using conventional surgery and the other group was operated on using 3D model-assisted surgery. During surgery, instrumentation time, amount of blood loss and intraoperative fluoroscopy exposure were recorded. Moreover, the status of the screws in the pedicles was assessed as described by Learch and Wiesner’s and regional sagittal angles (RSA) were measured preop and postoperatively. Results: It was found that there was a statistically significant difference in instrumentation time, blood loss and intraoperative fluoroscopy exposure in the 3D model-assisted surgery group (61.9 ± 4.7 min, 268.4 ± 42.7 ml, 16.3 ± 1.9 times) compared to the conventional surgery group (75.5 ± 11.0 min, 347.8 ± 52.2 mL, 19.7 ± 2.4 times) (t = 4.5325, P < 0.0001 and t = 4.7109, P < 0.0001 and t = 4.4937, P < 0.0001, respectively) Although the screw misplacement rate of the conventional surgery group was higher than that of the 3D model-assisted surgery group, the only statistically significant difference was in the medial axial encroachment (t = 5.101 P = 0.02) . There was no severe misplacement of pedicle screws in either group. There were no statistically significant differences between postoperative RSA angles and were in both groups restored significantly. Conclusion: The results of this study have shown us that the 3D model helps surgeons see patients’ pathoanatomy and determine rod lengths, pedicle screw angles and lengths preoperatively and peroparatively, which in turn shortens operative time, reduces blood loss and fluoroscopy exposure.

Objective: The aims of this study were (1) to compare 25-OH vitamin D levels between children with upper and those with lower extremity fractures and (2) to determine whether 25-OH D insufficiency prevalence is increased compared to healthy controls. Methods: This is a prospective case–control study for 12 months. The study was conducted with children aged 5-18 years, including 60 children with non-displaced, impaction type upper extremity and lower extremity fractures resulted from low-energy trauma. In addition, 60 healthy children were included as controls. In all participants, risk factors for low bone mineral density were assessed and serum 25(OH)D levels were measured. Vitamin D levels were compared among groups. Results: Vitamin D deficiency (25-OH D <20) was 14.8 times (OR= 95% CI= 5.61 - 39.8) and 2.9 times (OR= 95% CI= 1.46-5.75) higher in patients with upper and lower extremity fractures, respectively. In the upper extremity fracture group, serum 25-OH D level was considered deficient (25-OH D level = <20 ng/mL) in 91.6% (55/60). In comparison, it was considered as insufficient (serum 25-OH D level = 20-30 ng/mL in 8.3% (5/60) of the patients. In the lower extremity fracture group, serum 25(OH)D level was considered as deficient in 75.0% (45/60), while it was considered as insufficient in 25.0% (15/60) of the patients. In the control group, serum 25-OH D level was considered deficient in 10.0% (6/60), while it was considered insufficient in 61.6% (37/60) of subjects. The 25-OH D deficiency and insufficiency were more common in the whole fracture group (upper plus lower extremity fracture groups) when compared to healthy controls. Conclusion: This study has shown that hypovitaminosis D is associated with an increased risk for fracture in the pediatric population, and the fracture risk is higher in upper extremity fractures than in lower extremity fractures. In children with fractures, routine vitamin D evaluation should be considered. Level of Evidence: Level III, Diagnostic Study

Objective: This study aimed to compare the results of endoscopic in situ decompression (EISD) versus open in situ decompression (OISD) in the management of cubital tunnel syndrome (CUTS). Methods: In this retrospective study, 32 patients who underwent either OISD or EISD for the treatment of CUTS between 2012 and 2019 were identified and divided into one of the two groups: Group I consisted of 13 patients undergoing EISD and group II consisted of 19 patients receiving OISD. Patients were queried regarding the presence of preoperative and postoperative paresthesia. Electromyography (EMG) was performed on all patients preoperatively and at the final control. Preoperative and postoperative pain with palpation were evaluated over the cubital tunnel. The Dellon classification was used for preoperative evaluation of patient symptoms, and the Bishop classification was used for postoperative evaluation. Hand grip strength was measured with a dynamometer. At the preoperative and postoperative final follow-up, the palmar, key, and tip pinches were measured with a pinchmeter. The surgical incision length was measured with a ruler at the end of the operation in all patients. The operation duration was recorded as the time interval between the beginning of the incision and the end of the tourniquet. Results: The overall mean age was 43.8 (range; 22 to 66) years. Nine patients were female, and 23 patients were male. No Dellon I patients were present in either group. Overall, 68.75% of the patients were Dellon II and 31.25% were Dellon III. According to the Bishop score, excellent and good results were obtained in 84.6% of the patients in Group I and 73.7% of the patients in Group II. The final follow-up examination found continued paraesthesia in 6 (18.75%) patients. Comparison of the improvement in the postoperative NCV value showed a statistically significantly superior improvement in Group I compared to Group II. The postoperative palmar pinch and tip pinch tests results were statistically significantly better in group I than in group II. Conclusion: Although EISD had better results clinically, no statistically significant difference was found between the two techniques in terms of Bishop scores and complications. Examination of the electrophysiological results suggested a better outcome in patients who underwent EISD. Level of Evidence: Level III, Therapeutic Study

Glenoid articular cartilage lesion is a rare complication following traumatic anterior dislocation of the shoulder. We report the case of a 14-year-old male rugby player with traumatic anterior shoulder instability, an extensively flapped lesion on the glenoid articular cartilage, and an osseous Bankart lesion. Arthroscopic findings revealed that the glenoid cartilage was flap-detached, extending from the anteroinferior to the center. Repair of the osseous Bankart lesion using suture anchors and resection of the unstable peripheral part of the cartilage was performed arthroscopically. The main region of the injured articular surface was left untouched. During postoperative follow-up, absorption of the glenoid articular surface near the suture anchor holes was identified. Arthroscopic examination three months post-surgery showed that the flap detached lesion of the residual cartilage was stable and appeared adapted on the glenoid surface. The resected area was covered by fibrous tissue. A follow-up computed tomography scan revealed that the osseous lesion was united. The patient returned to his previous sports capacity eight months following the operation. At the 2-year-follow-up, magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the glenoid surface was remodeled to a flattened round shape with no signs of osteoarthritis, exhibiting proper conformity of the joint surfaces to the humeral head. Arthroscopic Bankart repair using suture anchors may cause bone resorption at the glenoid surface, leading to remodeling of the glenoid surface from the damaged glenoid cartilage lesion in young patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the angle between the scapular spine and acromion in the sagittal plane on the location of chronic rotator cuff tears (RCTs). Methods: The magnetic resonance images of patients who had undergone an arthroscopic shoulder surgery were evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups: patients who had undergone RCT repair and those who had experienced different shoulder surgery as a control group. The RCT group (study group) was then subgrouped in terms of the location of the tear as posterior-superior RCT type 3, 4, 5 or combination (group A) and anterior-superior RCT type 1,2,3 or combination using the Patte sagittal classification (group B). A novel angle, scapular spine-acromion angle (SSAA), was described in the sagittal plane and compared between the groups and subgroups. Results : A total of 96 patients underwent an arthroscopic RCT repair with a mean age of 59.5 years (range, 36-65 years), and the control group was composed of 40 patients with a mean age of 52.5 (range, 41-63 years). Comparison the group B (mean value: 73.41°±5.98°, median: 73,8°, range: 60.6°-89.7°) has significantly higher degrees of SSAA than group A (mean value: 63.92°±6.82°, median: 64,8°, range: 52.3°-77.9°) (P < 0.001). Conclusion : This study demonstrated a higher incidence of posterior- superior RCTs in patients with lower SSAA and anterior-superior RCTs in patients with higher SSAA in the sagittal plane compared to the control group. So sagittal acromial orientation might influence the RCT location.

Results : A total of 96 patients underwent an arthroscopic RCT repair with a mean age of 59.5 years (range, 36-65 years), and the control group was composed of 40 patients with a mean age of 52.5 (range, 41-63 years). Comparison the group B (mean value: 73.41°±5.98°, median: 73,8°, range: 60.6°-89.7°) has significantly higher degrees of SSAA than group A (mean value: 63.92°±6.82°, median: 64,8°, range: 52.3°-77.9°) (P < 0.001). Conclusion : This study demonstrated a higher incidence of posterior- superior RCTs in patients with lower SSAA and anterior-superior RCTs in patients with higher SSAA in the sagittal plane compared to the control group. So sagittal acromial orientation might influence the RCT location.","PeriodicalId":7097,"journal":{"name":"Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica","volume":"56 1","pages":"116 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43721078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the contents and readability levels of informative texts about anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on Turkish websites. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, online searches were performed using the Google, Yandex, and Yahoo search engines on 16, 17, and 18 November 2020, respectively. In these three search engines, ‘anterior cruciate ligament’, ‘anterior cruciate ligament surgery’, ‘ACL’, and ‘ACL surgery’ were entered in Turkish. The first 10 pages from each search on the websites were collected. The websites were divided into 3 groups according to their sources. Group 1 was classified as websites prepared by private hospitals or medical centers; group 2, as individual websites of orthopedics and traumatology physicians; and group 3, as non-profit websites providing general health information that does not fall into these two groups. The websites were analyzed based on both the website interface and a specific content scoring guide by two reviewers. The Flesch Kincaid (FK) grade level and the Flesch reading ease (FRE) score were used to determine the readability of information on the websites. Results: Eighty-five unique websites were evaluated. The mean quality score of all the websites was 10.4 ± 4.5 with a maximum score of 25 (range = 3–21). No significant difference in quality score was found between the groups. The mean FK grade score of all the websites was 11.2 ± 1.7 (range = 7.9–15.3). The mean FRE score of all the websites was 46.8 ± 7.7 (range = 24.1–63.7). No statistically significant differences in FK grade and FRE score were found between the groups. Although 59 websites (69%) had a third-party seal indicating the certification of one of the organizations established to provide a standard of health information on the Internet, only 21 websites (25%) were updated in the year before the search. Conclusion: The readability level of the informative texts about the ACL on the Turkish websites was above the educational level in Turkey. In addition, the quality score of the Turkish websites related to ACL was low. The content of the informative texts should be organized while taking into account the patients’ literacy level.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the early reaction of all-suture anchors (ASAs) in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. METHODS This retrospective case series comprised 23 patients (8 women, 15 men; mean age = 59.9 years, age range = 36-73 years) with medium-size rotator cuff tear who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. All patients underwent postoperative serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Demographic and operative characteristics were recorded. MRIs were evaluated for osseous cyst formation, and tunnel volume was measured. Statistical analyses were performed to detect differences in the serial MRI follow-up observation. RESULTS A total of 39 ASAs were evaluated. Osseous cyst formation was found in two ASAs (5.1%) at the 6-month follow-up. Tunnel expansion was significantly observed in both 3- and 6-month postoperative MRI evaluations (P < 0.001). The mean tunnel volume significantly increased 1.95 times at the 3-month follow-up and 2.84 times at the 6-month follow-up (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Evidence from this study has revealed low rates of cyst formation but significant increases in tunnel volume at the early follow-up following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with ASAs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, Therapeutic Study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate clinical results, femoral head survival, and the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with precollapse osteonecrosis of the femoral head (OFH) (Steinberg stage II and III) treated by free vascularized fibula graft (FVFG) application. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 54 hips of 47 patients (39 males, eight females; mean age 36 ± 14 years) who underwent FVFG due to OFH, with at least two years of follow-up. The patient data, including Harris Hip Score (HHS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and conversion to THA, were documented. Results: The right hip of 26 patients and the left hip of 28 patients were involved. Bilateral FVFG surgery was performed on seven patients due to bilateral OFH. The mean follow-up time was 5.5 (range 2-14) years. Survival of the femoral head was observed in 39 hips (72.2%), while the femoral head collapse was observed in 15 femoral heads (27.8%). The mean preoperative HHS increased from 46.5 (range = 12-85) to 86.5 (range = 33-100) postoperatively (P < 0.001). The mean preoperative VAS score improved from 8.2 (range = 2-10) to 1.3 (range = 0-10) postoperatively (P < 0.001). THA was performed on seven hips at a mean follow-up time of 1.8 years (range = 0.7–3.3). There was no significant difference in the collapse rate between unilateral or bilateral OFH (P = 0.175). A higher survival rate was observed in the Steinberg stage II femoral head patients compared to the stage III femoral head (P = 0.021). Conclusion: This study has shown that FVFG surgery can be a good option for managing patients with Steinberg stage II and III precollapse OFH to prevent femoral head collapse and joint function.
