Open reduction and internal fixation for radial head fractures: A prospective observational study

Objective: To evaluate the effect of open reduction and internal fixation on radial head fracture and assess the post-operative function. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted from June 2016 to July 2017 at Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College, Karachi. Altogether, 28 patients with radial head and neck fractures were enrolled in our study. These patients were admitted to the hospital and their fractures were fixed with open reduction and internal fixation. Baseline information of the patients was collected, and patient-rated elbow evaluation scores were calculated. Results: Out of the 28 patients, 21 were male and 7 were female. Besides, 16 fractures were on the right side and 12 were on the left side and 17 involving the dominant hands. In addition, 8 patients had Mason type Ⅱ fracture and 20 had Mason type Ⅲ fracture. The mean age of patients was (31.0 ± 8.0) years, and the mean follow-up is (1.2 ± 0.5) years. The mean average patient-rated elbow evaluation scores were (27.64 ± 1.60) at 1-year follow-up. Conclusions:The majority of the patients who had radial head fractures and treated by open reduction and internal fixation have attained an excellent range of motion postoperatively.

Treatment of a femoral neck fracture combined with ipsilateral femoral head and intertrochanteric fractures: A case report

BACKGROUND This article presents a rare case of a complex hip fracture involving the ipsilateral femoral neck,trochanter,and femoral head,that was accompanied by hip dislocation.Currently,there is no established standard treatment method for this specific type of fracture.Therefore,it is crucial to comprehensively consider factors such as patient age,fracture type,and degree of displacement to achieve a successful outcome.CASE SUMMARY A 38-year-old man sustained a comminuted fracture of his right hip as a result of a car accident.The injuries included a fracture of the femoral head,a fracture of the femoral neck,an intertrochanteric fracture of the femur,and a posterior dislocation of the hip on the same side.We opted for a treatment approach combining the use of a proximal femoral locking plate,cannulated screws,and Kirschner wires.Following the surgery,we developed an individualized rehabil-itation program to restore patient limb function.CONCLUSION For this complex fracture,we selected appropriate internal fixation and for-mulated individualized rehabilitation,which ultimately achieved good results.

Internal fixation and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty for an elderly patient with patellar fracture and anteromedial osteoarthritis:A case report

BACKGROUND Open reduction and internal fixation(ORIF)is the traditional surgical treatment for patellar fractures,and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty(UKA),especially Oxford UKA,has been increasingly used in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis(OA).However,the process of choosing treatment for patients with both patellar fractures and anteromedial knee OA remains unclear.We present the case of a patient with a patellar fracture and anteromedial OA.CASE SUMMARY We present the case of a 72-year-old woman with a history of bilateral medial compartment OA of the knees and a right Oxford UKA.She also experienced a recent left patellar fracture.ORIF and Oxford UKA were performed in a single stage.The patient showed excellent postoperative clinical results.CONCLUSION ORIF and Oxford UKA can be performed simultaneously for patients with patellar fracture and anteromedial OA on the same knee.

Pulmonary thromboembolism after distal ulna and radius fractures surgery: A case report and a literature review

BACKGROUND Pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE)is a serious postoperative complication that can occur after a fracture.Generally,PTE is caused by the falling off of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis(LEDVT)after lower limb fracture surgery.LEDVT and PTE after upper extremity fracture surgery are very rare.PTE is one of the most common clinical causes of sudden death.Venous thromboembolism includes PTE and DVT.We experienced one case of LEDVT and PTE after distal ulna and radius fracture surgery.The purpose of our report is to raise awareness for orthopedic surgeons that PTE can occur after distal ulna and radius fracture surgery,and patients with high risk factors should be considered for prevention and treatment of thrombosis in a timely manner.CASE SUMMARY We report a 51-year-old Chinese male who had severe fractures of the left distal ulna,radius and little finger after a motorcycle accident.The patient underwent external fixation,open reduction and internal fixation.On the third post-operative day,computed tomographic pulmonary angiography showed PTE.Doppler ultrasonography showed thrombus formation in the bilateral posterior tibial veins.After a period of anticoagulation therapy,on the 25th d after the PTE,computed tomographic pulmonary angiography showed that thrombus in both sides of the pulmonary artery disappeared.Furthermore,about 4 mo after the PTE,thrombosis in the deep veins of the lower limbs disappeared.About 1 year after the surgery,X-rays showed good fracture healing,and the function of the wrist joint recovered well.CONCLUSION Though rare,PTE can occur after distal ulna and radius fracture surgery and patients with high risk factors should be considered for prevention and treatment of thrombosis in a timely manner.

An Isolated Displaced Fracture of the Coracoid Process Treated with Osteosynthesis—A Case Report and Review of Literature

Coracoid process fractures are relatively rare and few cases have been reported in the orthopedic literature. In this article, we report the case of an active, thirty years old, male patient with isolated, displaced fracture of the coracoid process, associated with a blunt injury to the shoulder, during a motor vehicle accident. We describe the incidence, mechanism of injury, and surgical treatment. Although rare, a high index of suspicion, special radiographic views, can detect an isolated coracoid process. Knowledge of the associated injuries will help the clinician to order further imaging and treat them accordingly. We recommend that a displaced, isolated fracture of the coracoid be treated with open reduction and osteosynthesis, to achieve early use of the extremity, good radiological union and clinical function.

Fragility of statistically significant findings from randomized clinical trials of surgical treatment of humeral shaft fractures:A systematic review

BACKGROUND Despite recent meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials(RCTs),there remains no consensus regarding the preferred surgical treatment for humeral shaft fractures.The fragility index(FI)is an emerging tool used to evaluate the robustness of RCTs by quantifying the number of participants in a study group that would need to switch outcomes in order to reverse the study conclusions.AIM To investigate the fragility index of randomized control trials assessing outcomes of operative fixation in proximal humerus fractures.METHODS We completed a systematic review of RCTs evaluating the surgical treatment of humeral shaft fractures.Inclusion criteria included:articles published in English;patients randomized and allotted in 1:1 ratio to 2 parallel arms;and dichotomous outcome variables.The FI was calculated for total complications,each complication individually,and secondary surgeries using the Fisher exact test,as previously published.RESULTS Fifteen RCTs were included in the analysis comparing open reduction plate osteosynthesis with dynamic compression plate or locking compression plate,intramedullary nail,and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis.The median FI was 0 for all parameters analyzed.Regarding individual outcomes,the FI was 0 for 81/91(89%)of outcomes.The FI exceeded the number lost to follow up in only 2/91(2%)outcomes.CONCLUSION The FI shows that data from RCTs regarding operative treatment of humeral shaft fractures are fragile and does not demonstrate superiority of any particular surgical technique.

Clinical effect of distal radius fracture treated with open reduction and internal plate fixation

Background For some specific comminuted unstable intra-articular fracture,the plaster cast can not maintain the alignment of the articular surface effectively.The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effects of distal radius fracture treated with open reduction and internal plate fixation retrospectively.Methods From January 2002 to March 2010,539 cases of distal radius fracture were treated with open reduction and internal fixation,including 184 males and 355 females aging 21-72 years （mean 57 years）.Fractures were caused by falling to the ground in 459 cases,by traffic accident in 62 cases and by athletic injuries in 18 cases.Of 539 cases,there were 523 cases of closed fracture and 16 cases of open fracture.According to Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Osteosynthesefragen （AO） standards of classification,there were 14 cases of A2 type,22 of A3 type,18 of B1 type,24 of B2 type,62 of B3 type,91 of C1 type,162 of C2 type and 146 of C3 type.The time from injury to operation was 1-16 days （mean 5 days）.All patitents received open reduction and internal plate screw fixation.Forty-seven patients with bone defect were given 6-15 g autologous ilium and 75 cases were given 5 ml calcium sulphate artificial aggregate after reduction.Results All incisions healed by first intention after operation.Patients were followed up for 15 to 32 months postoperatively （mean 22 months）.The fractures healed within 10-18 weeks after operation （mean 12 weeks）.During the last follow-up,the mean palmar tilt was （7.0±0.9）° and the mean ulnar variance was （21.0±4.2）°,showing significant difference when compared with preoperation （（-5.0±1.2）° and （8.0±3.8）°）.The radial heights were not abbreviated.According to Gartland and Werley assessment system,the results were excellent in 314 cases,good in 163 cases,fair in 46 cases,and poor in 16 cases 12 weeks after operation,the excellent and good rate was 88.5%.Conclusions The clinical effect of distal radius fracture treated with open reduction and internal plate fixation was relatively satisfactory.Meticulous operation procedure and individual rehabilitation strategy contribute to the wrist joint functional recovery.

Three-dimensional printing combined with open reduction and internal fixation versus open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of acetabular fractures:A systematic review and meta-analysis

Purpose:This meta-analysis compared the clinical outcome of three-dimensional(3D)printing combined with open reduction and internal fixation(ORIF)to traditional ORIF in the treatment of acetabular fractures.Methods:We searched the Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,VIP database,CNKI,and Wanfang data-base with keywords"acetabular fracture","3D printing","three-dimensional printing","open reduction and internal fixation","Acetabulum","Acetabula"from January 2000 to March 2020.Two reviewers independently selected articles,extracted data,assessed the quality evidence and risk bias of included trials using the Cochrane Collaboration’s tools and/or Newcastle-Ottawa scale.When the two analysts had different opinions,they would ask the third analyst for opinion.Randomized controlled trials or retrospective comparative studies of 3D printing combined with ORIF(3D printing group)versus traditional ORIF(conventional group)in the treatment of acetabular fractures were selected.The data of operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative fluoroscopy times,incidence of complications,excellent and good rate of Matta score for reduction,and excellent and good rate of hip function score were extracted.Stata14.0 statistical software was used for data analysis.Results:Altogether 9 articles were selected,including 5 randomized controlled trials and 4 retrospective studies.A total of 467 patients were analyzed,250 in the conventional group,and 217 in the 3D printing group.The operation time in the 3D printing group was less than that in the conventional group and the difference was statistically significant(standardized mean difference(SMD)=-1.19,95%CI:-1.55 to-0.82,p<0.05).The intraoperative bleeding volume of the 3D printing group was significantly lower than that of the conventional group(SMD=-1.08,95%CI:-1.65 to-0.51,p<0.05).The fluoroscopy times were less in the 3D printing group than in the conventional group and the difference was statistically significant(SMD=-1.64,95%CI:-2.35 to-0.93,p<0.05).The total incidence of complications in the 3D printing group was significantly lower than that in the conventional group(OR=0.43,95%CI:0.24-0.79,p<0.05).There was no significant difference in the excellent and good rate of Matta score for reduction between the two groups(OR=0.60,95%CI:0.34-1.06,p>0.05).There was no significant difference in the excellent and good rate of hip function score at the end of postoperative follow-up between the two groups(OR=0.84,95%CI:0.46-1.56,p>0.05),but the follow-up time varies from 6 months to 40 months.Conclusion:Compared with traditional ORIF,3D printing combined with ORIF has certain advantages in terms that 3D printing not only helps surgeons to understand acetabular fractures more intuitively,but also effectively reduces operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative fluoroscopy times,and postoperative complications.However,there were no significant differences in the excellent and good rate of Matta score for reduction and the excellent and good rate of hip function score at the end of follow-up.

Therapeutic effect of two methods on avulsion fracture of tibial insertion of anterior cruciate ligament

BACKGROUND The tibial stop of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) is fan-shaped and attached to the medial groove in front of the intercondylar spine,which is located between the anterior horn of the medial and lateral meniscus.The incidence of this fracture is low previously reported,which is common in children and adolescents.With the increase of sports injury and traffic injury and the deepening of understanding,it is found that the incidence of the disease is high at present.AIM To explore the difference between open reduction and internal fixation with small incision and high-intensity non-absorbable suture under arthroscopy in the treatment of tibial avulsion fracture of ACL.METHODS Seventy-six patients with tibial avulsion fracture of anterior cruciate ligament diagnosed and treated in Guanyun County People’s Hospital from April 2018 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the surgical methods,they were divided into group A(40 cases) and group B(36 cases).Patients in group A were treated with arthroscopic high-strength non-absorbable suture,and patients in group B were treated with small incision open reduction and internal fixation.The operation time,fracture healing time,knee joint activity and functional score before and after operation,and surgical complications of the two groups were compared.RESULTS The operation time of group A was higher than that of group B,and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05);the fracture healing time of group A was compared with that of group B,and the difference was not statistically significant(P > 0.05);The knee joint function activity was compared between two groups before operation,3 mo and 6 mo after operation,and the difference was not statistically significant(P > 0.05);the knee joint function activity of group A and group B at 3 mo and 6 mo after operation was significantly higher than that before operation(P < 0.05);the limp,support,lock,instability,swelling,upstairs,squatting,pain and Lysholm score were compared between the two groups before and 6 mo after operation,and the difference was not statistically significant(P > 0.05);the scores of limp,support,lock,instability,swelling,upstairs,squatting,pain and Lysholm in group A and group B at 6 mo after operation were significantly higher than those before operation(P > 0.05);the surgical complication rate of group A was 2.63%,which was lower than 18.42% of group B,and the difference was statistically significant(P > 0.05).CONCLUSION Both small incision open reduction and internal fixation and arthroscopic high-strength nonabsorbable sutures can achieve good results in the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fractures.The operation time of arthroscopic high-strength non-absorbable sutures is slightly longer,but the complication rate is lower.

Managing extremely distal periprosthetic femoral supracondylar fractures of total knee replacements-a new PHILOS-ophy

We report two cases where a proximal humeral locking plate was used for the fixation of an extremely distal, type Ⅲ peri-prosthetic femoral fractures in relation to a total knee replacement(TKR). In each case there was concern regarding the fixation that could be achieved using the available anatomic distal femoral plates due to the size and bone quality of distal fragment. The design of the Proximal Humeral Internal Locking System(PHILOS) allows nine 3.5-mm locking screws to be placed over a small area in multiple directions. This allowed a greater number of fixation points to be achieved in the distal fragment. Clinical and radiological short-term follow-up(6-12 mo) has been satisfactory in both cases with no complications. We suggest the use of this implant for extremely distal femoral fractures arising in relation to the femoral component of a TKR.

Hoffa’s fracture in an adolescent treated with an innovative surgical procedure:A case report

BACKGROUND Hoffa fracture is rare,especially in adolescents,and has a high rate of complications such as avascular necrosis and osteoarthritis;moreover,there are no definitive guidelines for its treatment.This report could provide a new potential treatment for Hoffa fracture.CASE SUMMARY A 16-year-old girl presented to the orthopedic emergency department of No.2 People’s Hospital of Yibin City with persistent pain following a right knee injury sustained during a sprint race.Her knee was swollen and tender,and the range of motion was restricted by the pain.X-ray and computed tomography revealed a Hoffa fracture in the right knee.After consultation,surgical treatment was performed,and the fracture was fixed with three 3.5-mm cannulated cancellous screws;osteochondral plugs that were harvested from the screw insertion site were re-implanted to cover the screw head.The patient’s fracture and osteochondral plug healed 6 mo postoperatively,and she presented a knee range of motion of 0–135 without pain,and was walking without support with a normal gait.CONCLUSION Here,we describe an innovative surgical procedure for Hoffa fracture that could provide a new possibility for the treatment of similar fractures,and further improve their management.

Distal Radius Fracture: What Does the Patient Want?

Distal radius fractures are common and while historically most have been treated nonoperatively the frequency with which distal radius fractures are treated surgically is increasing. Criteria for considering surgical treatment are often based on radiographic appearance of the fracture. Less often discussed is patient preference: what do patients want. We investigated responses of a general population when presented with various treatment options following a hypothetical distal radius fracture. Many respondents chose nonoperative treatment even when told that surgery might result in a better outcome. This information can help during the shared decision-making process when discussing treatment options with a patient who presents with a distal radius fracture.
