Distal femur fractures include fractures of the supracondylar and intercondylar region. They account for around 3-6% of femur fractures. They occur both in younger patients (as the result of high energy trauma) or in older patients (from low energy trauma as pathological fracture secondary to osteoporosis or malignancy). Despite advances in implant design, the management of distal femur fractures remain challenging. Fracture comminution and intra-articular extension with severe soft tissue injury can make it difficult to obtain an adequate reduction while preserving the soft tissue attachments to bone fragments to allow for bone healing. This study was done to study the functional of MIPO (Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis) in distal third femur fractures with intra articular extension.

Physical Activity (PA) has a fundamental role in subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), in terms of motility, joint function, muscle wasting, BMI (Body Mass Index), Cardiovascular Fitness (CRF), mental health, but also changes in bioactive molecules that might influence the disease activity and patient’s wellbeing. Literature was searched for clinical trials, randomized-controlled trials, and pilot studies published in the last 15 years. Studies using as adjunctive therapy aerobic exercise, HighIntensity Interval Training (HIIT), and moderate training were included. The available papers shown that exercise programs improve joint’s mobility and flexibility and the overall health status, without differences regarding age, gender or disease activity. All these findings are supported by the modulatory role of exercise-induced cytokines as interleukin-6 (IL6) and irisin, together with a reduction of inflammatory markers.

Background and Purpose: Annular fissures are common in the lumbar spine; their natural history is not well-known. They typically are bright on T2W and show linear enhancement. We hypothesized that Lumbar Annular Fissures (LAF) rarely resolve over time and their imaging features are static. Materials and Methods: From 2011 to 2021, we evaluated patients who had more than one lumbar spine MR. We recorded LAF imaging features on T1W, T2W, and post-contrast sequences and the evolution of those findings over time. We also inspected the evolution of concomitant disc pathology. Finally, we reviewed the radiologic reports to see if LAFs were mentioned. Results: Of the 441 included patients, 238 (54.0%) had a LAF. Of these, 123/238 (51.7%) had more than one LAF (total 436 LAFs). 433 (99.3%) LAFs were bright on T2W; 3 LAFs enhanced but were not bright on T2W. In follow up, (mean 621 days, SD 951 days), 145/436 (33.3%) LAFs changed in T2W signal intensity; 62.8% showed less hyperintensity on T2W, 7 resolved completely. Of 65 gadolinium-enhanced cases, 53 (81.5%) LAFs enhanced; that enhancement persisted in 85.4%. Bulges or herniations coexisted with LAFs in 388/436 (89.0%). With changes in signal intensity and gadolinium enhancement, the bulge/herniation often evolved. 15.8% of LAFs were reported. Conclusion: LAFs are prevalent (54.0%) but are under-reported. The vast majority are bright on T2W but that hyperintensity may change over time. Most LAFs enhance and do so persistently. Disk bulges and herniations coexist in 89% of cases and evolve with the LAFs. Clinical Relevance: The stability of T2 hyperintensity and gadolinium enhancement of LAFs over time implies that the age of the AF cannot be inferred unless it is newly appearing on a current study.

Rotator Cuff Injuries (RCI) are highly prevalent and characterized by shoulder pain, restricted shoulder movement, and difficulty with overhead activity, radiating pain in the deltoid muscle, and atrophy of the rotator cuff muscles. Increasing age, hand dominance, smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity are common risk factors. Chronic inflammation plays a critical role in the underlying pathogenesis. RCI accounts for massive healthcare expenditure costing about $15,000 per repair, and over 4.5 million physician visits per year, however, there is still no therapeutic target to improve clinical outcomes. Mitochondrial biogenesis in response to inflammatory stimuli supports increased cellular energy requirements, cell proliferation, and differentiation. This suggests that mitochondrial biogenesis may play a role in healing RCI by serving as a protective factor against free oxygen species and promoting homeostasis within the rotator cuff. There is evidence highlighting the potential therapeutic benefits of mitochondrial biogenesis in various inflammatory diseases, but no study explored the role of mitochondrial biogenesis in rotator cuff tears. Since hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for RCI, we investigated the effects of hypercholesterolemia on the expression of PGC-1α, a marker of mitochondrial biogenesis, in rotator cuff muscle. The findings revealed an increased gene and protein expression of inflammatory mediators and PGC-1α, suggesting enhanced inflammation and increased mitochondrial biogenesis due to hypercholesterolemia. Additional studies are warranted to further investigate the chronic effect of hyperlipidemia induced RCI to elucidate the cause of insufficient mitochondrial biogenesis unable to protect the rotator cuff and the therapeutic effect of promoting mitochondrial biogenesis.

Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) may complicate up to 10% of primary lower-extremity total joint arthroplasties. However, none of these previous studies evaluated the duration and reversibility of AKI. Moreover, none specifically evaluated the impact of perioperative celecoxib on the incidence and severity of AKI, especially for patients with preexisting renal impairment. This study was to retrospectively review the incidence, severity and duration of AKI with short term perioperative celecoxib. We also aimed to evaluate the impact of perioperative celecoxib on the incidence and severity of AKI in patients with and without preexisting renal impairment. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1077 patients at Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong, from January 2018 to December 2021. Data were retrieved from the computerized medical records system. Results: One hundred of 1077 patients (9.3%) had postoperative AKI. Eight hundred eighty-eight patients (82.5%) were prescribed perioperative celecoxib, while 189 patients (17.5%) were not. The overall incidence of AKI in those taking perioperative celecoxib was 9.2%, while it was 9.5% in those not taking perioperative celecoxib. There was no statistically significant difference. There was no association between perioperative celecoxib and postoperative AKI. Among those who received perioperative celecoxib, the overall incidence of postoperative AKI in those with and without preexisting renal impairment (normal renal function test) was 9.3% and 9.2%, respectively. This was not statistically significant. The duration of AKI was 4 days for both groups. In both groups, most AKI cases were stage 1. Conclusions: Short term perioperative celecoxib probably had no additional AKI risk even in patients with preexisting renal impairment.

Introduction: Intertrochanteric fractures are defined as extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur that occur between the greater and lesser trochanter. These fractures occur both in the elderly and the young, but they are more common in the elderly population with osteoporosis due to a low energy mechanism. The female to male ration is between 2:1 and 8:1. Operative management of these fractures is considered urgent, not emergent. This allows the many comorbidities with which patients often present to be optimized preoperatively, to reduce morbidity and mortality. Aim and objectives: Aim of the study is to compare the radiological and functional outcome of proximal femoral nail with helical blade vs. proximal femoral nail with lag screw in intertrochanteric fractures. Materials and methods: Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in the study and randomly allocated in two groups. Group patients with intertrochanteric fracture were operated with proximal femoral nail using lag screw and group B patients were operated with proximal femoral nail using helical blade.

Background: There has been many different treatments for adhesive capsulitis explored including physical therapy, manipulation under anesthesia, arthroscopic capsular release, corticosteroid injections, and capsular distention without consensus regarding the most effective treatment. Capsular distention has not been explored in a mid-term study. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the mid-term outcomes of the procedure and analyze the need for a second procedure following initial distention. Methods: This study included 27 patients with average age of 58 diagnosed with stage II adhesive capsulitis. The primary outcome was the rate of second procedures in patients following initial capsular distention, utilizing both electronic medical record and direct patient questions. The secondary outcomes included patient satisfaction rating, range of motion (ROM) limitations, limitations on Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and time to follow up. Results: At an average follow up of 49 months, 78% of patients did not require a second procedure following capsular distention. The group that required second procedure had a significantly higher percentage of hypothyroid patients and a shorter time to follow up visits. Additionally, 81% of the total cohort reported their outcomes as “good,” 74% had no ROM limitations and 89% had no limitations on ADLs. Conclusion: Capsular distention shows promising results for mid-term follow up with patient reported outcomes and over three quarters of patients not requiring a second procedure. Further research on the use of this treatment is warranted including randomized controlled trials and longer term follow up.
