ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: Good wound closure is an important step in management of distal femur fracture to prevent infection and faster rehabilitation. Knotless barbed sutures can save time and distribute wound tension evenly. However, its role in terms of functional outcome, closure time, and postoperative complications has not been studied in a distal femur fracture. Material and methods: A total of 47 patients aged more than 18 years of distal femur fracture treated with distal femur locking plate were randomized either into either barbed or traditional suture groups. in the barbed group, capsular wound closure was carried out with 2-0 bidirectional barbed knotless sutures (Quill SRS® PDO, Angiotech, Vancouver, BC, Canada). In patients assigned to group B, capsular closure was done with 1-0 Vicryl® (Ethicon inc. Somerville, NJ) and 5-0 Ethibond® alternatively. Results: The mean flexion at the knee joint was 105.7±15.6 degrees in the study group while it was 110.4±13.7 in the control group (p= 0.2133). Mean estimated closure time was significantly shorter in the study group as compared to the control group (p<0.05). Cases of needle prick injury were higher in traditional suture group. Patients developed stitch abscess and superficial infection in both groups. However, the difference in incidence between the two was not statistically significant Conclusion: Barbed suture is an efficient method of wound closure. It reduces wound closure time with similar complication rate as with use of conventional sutures. Evidence Level II; Randomized Clinical Trial.


RESUMO Introdução: O fechamento adequado da ferida é um passo importante no manejo da fratura distal do fêmur a fim de evitar infecção e permitir uma rápida reabilitação. Suturas farpadas sem nós podem poupar tempo e distribuir uniformemente a tensão da ferida. Entretanto, seu papel em termos de resultado funcional, tempo de fechamento e complicações pós-operatórias não tem sido analisado em casos de fratura distal do fêmur. Material e métodos: Um total de 47 pacientes com mais de 18 anos de idade com fratura distal do fêmur tratados com placa de fixação distal do fêmur foram aleatorizados em grupos de sutura farpada ou tradicional. No grupo de farpados, o fechamento da ferida capsular foi feito com suturas sem nós farpados bidirecionais 2-0 (Quill SRS® PDO, Angiotech, Vancouver, BC, Canadá). Em pacientes designados para o grupo B, o fechamento capsular foi feito com Vicryl®1-0 (Ethicon inc. Somerville, NJ) e Ethibond® 5-0 respectivamente. Resultados: A flexão média na articulação do joelho foi de 105,7±15,6 graus no grupo de estudo e 110,4±13,7 no grupo controle (p= 0,2133). O tempo médio estimado de fechamento foi significativamente menor no grupo de estudo em comparação com o grupo controle (p<0,05). Os casos de ferimento por perfuração da agulha foram maiores no grupo de sutura tradicional. Os pacientes desenvolveram abscesso de pontos e infecção superficial em ambos os grupos. Entretanto, a diferença na incidência entre os dois não foi estatisticamente significative Conclusão: A sutura farpada é um método eficiente para o fechamento de feridas. Ele reduz o tempo de fechamento das feridas com uma taxa de complicação semelhante à utilização de suturas convencionais. Evidência Nível II; Ensaio Clínico Randomizado.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective The present study aims to describe outcomes from a series of surgically treated patients with atypical femoral fracture due to bisphosphonates use, in addition to correlate the time of previous medication use with fracture consolidation time, and to compare the consolidation time of complete and incomplete fractures. Methods This is an observational, retrospective study with 66 patients diagnosed with atypical femur fractures associated with chronic bisphosphonates use. The patients underwent orthopedic surgical treatment at a referral hospital from January 2018 to March 2020. Results All patients were females, with two bilateral cases. Fracture consolidation occurred in all cases, with an average time of 2.3 months and a follow-up time of 5.8 months. The average time of bisphosphonates use was 7.8 years. There was no correlation between the time of previous bisphosphonates use and the time for fracture consolidation. Consolidation time differed in complete and incomplete fractures. Conclusion Surgical treatment with a long cephalomedullary nail resulted in consolidation in all patients. The consolidation time was longer in complete fractures when compared with incomplete lesions, and there was no correlation between the time of previous bisphosphonates use and the consolidation time . Level of evidenceLevel IV, case series

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective To estimate the frequency of Staphylococcus aureus and cephalosporin nonsusceptible bacteria colonization in patients with proximal femoral fracture during preoperative hospitalization. Methods Prevalence and incidence assessment in 63 hospitalized patients over 1 year. The median time of pretreatment hospitalization was 12 days. Samples were collected from the nostrils, groin skin and anal mucosa during the pretreatment hospitalization and were tested by the disc-diffusion technique. Results The hospital colonization incidence and the prevalence of positive results were 14.3 and 44.4% for S. aureus; 3.2 and 6.4% for meticillin-resistant S. aureus; 28.6 and 85.7% for meticillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus; 28.6 and 61.9% for cefazolin nonsusceptible Enterobacteriaceae (KFNSE); and 20.6 and 28.6% for cefuroxime nonsusceptible Enterobacteriaceae (CXNSE). In addition, factors such as to the duration of the pretreatment hospitalization period, being non-walker before fracture, antimicrobial use, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 4 surgical risk, and previous hospitalization, were related to an increase in the incidence of hospital acquisition and prevalence of colonization by the evaluated strains. The prevalence of colonization by KFNSE was three times higher than by CXNSE on admission, and twice as high at the time of fracture treatment. Conclusion There was a high incidence of hospital colonization and prevalence of colonization by all strains studied, which may guide the indication of prophylactic measures for infection.


Resumo Objetivo Estimar a frequência da colonização por Staphylococcus aureus e as bactérias não suscetíveis à cefalosporina, em pacientes com fratura proximal do fêmur durante a internação pré-operatória. Métodos Avaliação da prevalência e incidência em 63 pacientes hospitalizados ao longo de um ano. O tempo médio de internação pré-tratamento foi de 12 dias. As amostras foram coletadas das narinas, pele da virilha e mucosa anal, durante a internação prévia ao tratamento e testadas pela técnica de disco-difusão. Resultados A incidência da colonização hospitalar e a prevalência de resultados positivos foram de 14,3% e 44,4% para Staphylococcus aureus; 3,2% e 6,4% para S. aureus resistente à meticilina; 28,6% e 85,7% para Staphylococcus coagulase-negativo resistente à meticilina; 28,6% e 61,9% para Enterobacteriaceae não suscetível à cefazolina (KFNSE); e 20,6% e 28,6% para Enterobacteriaceae não suscetível à cefuroxima (CXNSE). Além da duração do período de internação pré-tratamento, os pacientes não deambularam previamente à ocorrência da fratura e nem fizeram uso de antimicrobiano. Além disso, a duração do período de internação pré-tratamento cirúrgico, ser não-deambulador antes da fratura, uso de antimicrobianos, risco cirúrgico IV pela American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) e internação anterior, estiveram relacionados a um aumento na incidência de aquisição hospitalar e prevalência de colonização pelas cepas avaliadas. A prevalência de colonização pela KFNSE foi três vezes maior do que pela CXNSE na admissão e duas vezes maior no momento do tratamento da fratura. Conclusão Observou-se uma alta incidência da colonização hospitalar e prevalência da colonização por todas as cepas estudadas, o que pode orientar a indicação de medidas profiláticas contra a infecção.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: Show the relationship between atypical femoral fractures and prolonged use of bisphosphonates and analyze the limit of its beneficial use. Methods: Retrospective cohort study (level of evidence 2B). From Atypical fracture cases, patients who used bisphosphonates were selected and the time period of their use was analyzed. Additionally, the variables sex, age, and the side most affected were studied. Results: Nine atypical femur fractures were found, all associated with the use of bisphosphonates. The average period of use of this medication was nine years (minimum of three years; maximum of 14 years). The patients' mean age was of 78 years (69-88 years) and all were women, with the right member being the most affected. Conclusion: The use of bisphosphonates to prevent osteoporotic fractures has been increasingly frequent and, when used for a prolonged period, it has been related to atypical fractures. Further scientific studies on doses, maximum periods of treatment, and risk-benefit in the indication of these medications are needed to assist in therapeutic management for each case. Level of Evidence II, Retrospective Study.


RESUMO Objetivo: Demonstrar relação entre as fraturas atípicas de fêmur e o uso prolongado de bifosfonatos, descrever sua incidência e analisar até qual momento o seu uso é benéfico. Métodos: Estudo de coorte retrospectivo (nível de evidência 2B). Análise de 151 prontuários de pacientes com diagnóstico de fratura de fêmur em um hospital terciário, no período de janeiro de 2013 a dezembro de 2018. Foram selecionados os casos de fraturas atípicas e, dentre esses, os que faziam uso de bifosfonatos e o tempo de utilização. Ademais, foram estudadas as variáveis sexo, idade e lado mais acometido. Resultados: Constatadas 9 fraturas atípicas de fêmur, todas associadas ao uso de bifosfonatos. O período médio de uso dessa medicação foi de 9 anos (mínimo - 3 anos; máximo - 14 anos). A idade média dos pacientes foi de 78 anos (69-88 anos) e ocorrência unicamente em mulheres, tendo como membro mais acometido o direito. Conclusão: O uso dos bifosfonatos na prevenção de fraturas osteoporóticas tem sido cada vez mais frequente e relacionado às fraturas atípicas, quando empregado por tempo prolongado. A coleta de mais informações científicas que estudem doses, períodos máximos de tratamento e risco-benefício na indicação dessas medicações é essencial para auxiliar no manejo terapêutico apropriado para cada caso. Nível de Evidência II, Estudo Retrospectivo .

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the involvement of orthopedists and orthopedic residents with fragility fractures, in its clinical, therapeutic, and social aspects. Methods: Cross-sectional observational and prospective study that took place in the period from June to August 2020. Results: 540 participants were analyzed. The population consisted of orthopedists (85.56%; N = 462) and residents (14.44%; N = 78), with a greater proportion of individuals from 41 to 50 years of age (36.67%; N = 198) and from the Southeast region (57.22%; N = 309). For 47.04% (N = 254) of the participants, the profile of the patient at risk for fragility fracture corresponds to: woman, sedentary, smoker and over 60 years of age. The consensus among the participants (97.96%; N = 529) is that fragility fractures occur in or near home environments. Moreover, 47.59% (N = 257) believe that the first fragility fracture is the most important predictive risk factor for subsequent occurrences and 63.89% (N = 345) of the participants claim to attend more than 15 cases per year. Regarding treatment, 74.44% (N = 402) are dedicated exclusively to orthopedic aspects (68.33%; N = 369). However, 62.41% (N = 337) of the participants believe that patients with fragility fractures should receive medication and supplements. Likewise, 70.74% (N = 382) of the participants consider that home security measures and training of family members are important, and they attribute the role to the multidisciplinary team. Conclusions: Fragility fractures are frequent in the routine of Brazilian orthopedists. However, they are not familiar with adjuvant treatments for fragility fractures, acting almost exclusively in the orthopedics aspects of these injuries. Level of Evidence II, Prospective Study.


RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o entendimento entre ortopedistas e residentes em ortopedia sobre as fraturas por fragilidade, em seus aspectos clínicos, terapêuticos e sociais. Métodos: Estudo transversal, observacional e prospectivo que ocorreu no período de junho de agosto de 2020. Resultados: Foram analisados 540 participantes. A população foi composta por ortopedistas (85,56%; N = 462) e residentes (14,44%; N = 78), com prevalência de idade entre 41 e 50 anos (36,67%; N=198) e oriundos da região Sudeste (57,22%; N = 309). Para 47,04% (N = 254) dos participantes o perfil do paciente em risco para fratura por fragilidade corresponde a: mulher, sedentária, tabagista e acima dos 60 anos de idade. Sendo consenso entre os participantes (97,96%; N = 529) que as fraturas por fragilidade ocorrem em ambientes domiciliares ou próximo a eles. Além disso, 47,59% (N = 257) dos participantes acreditam que a primeira fratura por fragilidade seja o fator de risco preditivo mais importante para novo episódio de fratura e 63,89% (N = 345) dos avaliadores atendem mais de 15 casos por ano. Em relação ao tratamento, 74,44% (N = 402) dedicam-se exclusivamente aos aspectos ortopédicos (68,33%; N = 369). No entanto, 62,41% (N = 337) dos participantes acreditam que paciente devam receber medicamentos e suplementos. Da mesma forma, 70,74% (N = 382) dos avaliadores consideram que medidas de segurança domiciliar e treinamento de familiares sejam importantes e atribuídas a equipe multiprofissional. Conclusão: As fraturas por fragilidade são frequentes na rotina dos ortopedistas brasileiros. No entanto, estes não estão familiarizados com tratamentos adjuvantes nas fraturas consideradas por fragilidade, atuando quase que exclusivamente nos aspectos ortopédicos envolvidos nestas lesões. Nível de Evidência II, Estudo Prospectivo.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective Determine complications' incidence and risk factors in high-energy distal femur fractures fixed with a lateral locked plate. Methods Forty-seven patients were included; 87.2% were male, and the average age was 38.9. The main radiographic parameters collected were distal lateral femoral angle (DFA), distal posterior femoral angle (DPLF), comminution length, plate length, screw working length, bone loss, and medial contact after reduction and plate-bone contact, location of callus formation, and implant failure. The complications recorded were nonunion, implant failure, and infection. Results Complex C2 and C3 fractures accounted for 85.1% of cases. Open fractures accounted for 63.8% of cases. The mean AFDL and AFDP were 79.8 4.0 and 79.3 6.0, respectively. The average total proximal and distal working lengths were 133.3 42.7, 60.4 33.4, and 29.5 21.8 mm, respectively. The infection rate was 29.8%, and the only risk factor was open fracture (p = 0.005). The nonunion rate was 19.1%, with longer working length (p = 0.035) and higher PDFA (p = 0.001) as risk factors. The site of callus formation also influenced pseudoarthrosis (p = 0.034). Conclusion High-energy distal femoral fractures have a higher incidence of pseudoarthrosis and infection. Nonunion has greater working length, greater AFDL, and absence of callus formation on the medial and posterior sides as risk factors. The risk factor for infection was an open fracture. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective Cohort Study.


RESUMO Objetivos Determinar a incidência e os fatores de risco de complicações nas fraturas de alta energia das fraturas distais do fêmur fixadas com placa bloqueada lateral. Métodos Foram incluídos 47 pacientes, sendo 87,2% homens e idade média de 38,9 anos. Os principais parâmetros radiográficos coletados foram o ângulo femoral distal lateral (AFDL), ângulo femoral distal posterior (AFDP), comprimento da cominuição, comprimento da placa, comprimento de trabalho dos parafusos, perda óssea, contato medial após a redução e contato placa-osso, localização da formação do calo e falha do implante. As complicações registradas foram não união, falha do implante e infecção. Resultados Fraturas complexas C2 e C3 representaram 85,1% dos casos. As fraturas expostas corresponderam a 63,8% dos casos. O AFDL e AFDP médios foram 79,8° ± 4,0° e 79,3°± 6,0°, respectivamente. Os comprimentos de trabalho total, proximal e distal médios foram 133,3 ± 42,7, 60,4 ± 33,4 e 29,5 ± 21,8 mm, respectivamente. A taxa de infecção foi de 29,8% e o único fator de risco foi a fratura exposta (p = 0,005). A taxa de não união foi de 19,1%, com maior comprimento de trabalho (p = 0,035) e maior PDFA (p = 0,001) como fatores de risco. O local de formação do calo também influenciou na pseudoartrose (p = 0,034). Conclusões Fraturas distais do fêmur de alta energia apresentam maior incidência de pseudoartrose e infecção. A não união tem como fatores de risco maior comprimento de trabalho, maior AFDL e ausência de formação de calo nos lados medial e posterior. O fator de risco para infecção foi a fratura exposta. Nível de evidência III; Estudo de Coorte Retrospectivo.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: Las fracturas del extremo distal del fémur son lesiones invalidantes. Entre ellas la fractura de Hoffa es una afección infrecuente de difícil diagnóstico y tratamiento. Objetivo: Actualizar sobre los elementos más importantes de esta enfermedad traumática. Métodos: La búsqueda y análisis de la información se realizó en un periodo de 60 días (primero de noviembre al 30 de diciembre de 2020) y se emplearon las siguientes palabras claves: Hoffa's fracture AND distal femur fracture a partir de la información obtenida se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de un total de 529 artículos publicados en las bases de datos PubMed, Hinari, SciELO y Medline mediante el gestor de búsqueda y administrador de referencias EndNote, de ellos se utilizaron 37 citas seleccionadas para realizar la revisión, 35 de los últimos cinco años. Resultados: Se menciona el mecanismo de producción de alta y baja energía. Se hace referencia a las clasificaciones basadas en la radiografía simple y la tomografía axial computarizada. Se exponen las principales enfermedades asociadas a la fractura de Hoffa. Con relación al tratamiento se mencionan las modalidades conservadoras y quirúrgicas, en esta última, las vías de abordaje según la localización y tipo de fractura, con especial énfasis en la cirugía artroscópica. Conclusiones: La fractura de Hoffa es una lesión infrecuente provocada por un mecanismo de producción de alta energía y asociada en ocasiones a otras enfermedades traumáticas. El tratamiento de esta afección es por lo general de tipo quirúrgico y la modalidad a emplear está basada en la configuración geométrica de la fractura.


ABSTRACT Introduction: Fractures of the distal end of the femur are disabling injuries, among them the Hoffa's fracture is an infrequent condition difficult to diagnose and treat. Objective: to update on the most important elements of this traumatic entity. Methods: The search and analysis of the information was carried out over a period of 60 days (November 1 to December 30, 2020) and the following words were used: Hoffa's fracture, AND distal femur fracture, based on the information obtained, a bibliographic review of a total of 529 articles published in the PubMed, Hinari, SciELO and Medline databases using the search manager and reference manager EndNote, 37 selected citations were used to perform the review, 35 of the last five years. Results: The mechanism of high and low energy production was mentioned. Reference was made to classifications based on plain radiography and computed tomography. The main entities associated with the Hoffa's fracture were exposed. In relation to treatment, conservative and surgical modalities were mentioned, in the latter, the approach routes according to the location and type of fracture, with special emphasis on arthroscopic surgery. Conclusions: Hoffa fracture is an infrequent injury caused by a high energy production mechanism and occasionally associated with other traumatic entities. The treatment of this condition is generally surgical; the modality to be used is based on the geometric configuration of the fracture.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the efficiency of the deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis protocol in postoperative patients due to proximal femoral fractures and to assess any statistical difference between the types of fractures. Methods: A retrospective observational study based on the analysis of patients' medical records who underwent to a surgical intervention due to proximal femoral fractures in 2017 and 2021 at Hospital IFOR - Rede D'Or São Luiz. These patients were selected according to previously determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 99 patients were included divided by sex, age, laterality, length of stay, and death. According to the institutional protocol, was used chemoprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin, associated use of pneumatic compression with compression stockings, and early gait. The DVT diagnosis was determined by clinical evaluation and imaging tests such as venous Doppler ultrasonography and laboratory tests. Results: The protocol was effective in our study. Only one (1.01%) patient developed DVT. Due to the lack of samples, we could not achieve our secondary objective. Conclusion: The institutional protocol is efficient for DVT prophylaxis and essential in these cases. Level of Evidence II, Prognostic Study.


RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar a eficiência do protocolo de profilaxia contra trombose venosa profunda (TVP) em pacientes de pós-operatório devido à fratura do fêmur proximal e avaliar a diferença estatística entre os tipos de fratura. Método: Estudo retrospectivo observacional a partir da análise de prontuários de pacientes submetidos à intervenção cirúrgica em razão de fratura do fêmur proximal no período de 2017 e 2021 no Hospital IFOR - Rede D'Or São Luiz. Foram selecionados 99 pacientes segundo critérios de inclusão e exclusão determinados previamente, que foram catalogados por: idade, sexo, lateralidade, dias de internação, entre outros. Conforme protocolo institucional, utilizou-se quimioprofilaxia com heparina de baixo peso molecular, associado ao uso concomitante de compressão pneumática e meias elásticas, e deambulação precoce. O diagnóstico de TVP foi determinado por meio de avaliação clínica e exames de imagem, como a ultrassonografia com Doppler venoso e exames laboratoriais. Resultados: A utilização do protocolo se mostrou eficaz neste estudo, havendo apenas um paciente (1,01%) que desenvolveu TVP. Não foi possível atingir o objetivo secundário, pois a amostragem foi insuficiente. Conclusão: O protocolo institucional para a profilaxia de TVP foi eficiente, uma vez que apenas um paciente evoluiu com tal complicação. Nível de Evidência II, Estudo Prognóstico.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Femoral fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, mainly among older people. Objective To examine the effect of seasonality on hospitalizations due to femur fracture among people residing in the Rio Grande do Sul state, southern Brazil, from 2008 to 2019. Methods Ecological study based on secondary data from the SUS Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS). A total of 74,374 reports of hospital admissions was considered. The generalized additive model (GAM) approach was employed to assess the seasonality of the time series, with stratification by sex and age groups and considering the monthly average number of events of femoral fractures per day as a dependent variable. Results A considerably higher incidence of femoral fractures in women aged 70 years or more was described. Among people aged less than 50 years, there is not an apparent seasonal effect. Men aged 70 years or older and women aged 50 years or older have a higher frequency of hospitalizations due to femur fractures in the colder months. Conclusion Among older people, more femoral fractures occurred during the winter compared to summer. This supports findings from other studies, although reasons for this seasonal variation are uncertain. The knowledge of these seasonal variations can help to plan the health care in the public health system.


Resumo Introdução As fraturas de fêmur são uma das causas principais de morbidade e mortalidade, principalmente entre as pessoas idosas. Objetivo Examinar o efeito da sazonalidade nas hospitalizações devido à fratura do fêmur entre residentes do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, sul do Brasil, de 2008 a 2019. Métodos Trata-se de um estudo ecológico baseado em dados secundários do Sistema de Informação Hospitalar do SUS (SIH/SUS). Um total de 74.374 relatórios de internações hospitalares foi considerado. O modelo aditivo generalizado (GAM) foi usado para avaliar a sazonalidade da série temporal, com estratificação por sexo e grupos etários e considerando a média mensal de eventos de fraturas do fêmur por dia como uma variável dependente. Resultados Descreveu-se uma incidência consideravelmente maior de fraturas do fêmur em mulheres com 70 anos de idade ou mais. Entre as pessoas com menos de 50 anos de idade, não há um efeito sazonal aparente. Homens com idade de 70 anos ou mais e mulheres com 50 anos ou mais têm maior frequência de hospitalizações devido a fraturas do fêmur nos meses mais frios. Conclusão Entre as pessoas mais idosas, as fraturas do fêmur ocorreram mais frequentemente durante o inverno em comparação ao verão. Isto reafirma os resultados de outros estudos, embora as razões para esta variação sazonal sejam incertas. O conhecimento destas variações sazonais pode ajudar no planejamento da assistência médica no sistema público de saúde.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for nonunion after surgery for femoral shaft fractures in order to reduce them.Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed of the 804 patients with femoral shaft fracture who had been treated from January 2014 to December 2020 at Department of Orthopaedics, Xijing Hospital. There were 575 males and 229 females, aged from 18 to 96 years (average, 43.7 years). The patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether nonunion had occurred after surgery: a nonunion group of 112 cases and a fracture healing group of 692 cases. The preoperative general data, such as age, gender and fracture type, as well as intraoperative and postoperative data, such as operation time, internal fixation method, reduction method and internal fixation failure, were compared between the 2 groups. Items with P<0.05 were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the risk factors for nonunion. Results:There were statistically significant differences between the nonunion group and the fracture healing group in smoking history, drinking history, injury mechanism, injury type, multiple injuries, fracture AO classification, fixation method, internal fixation failure, postoperative infection and use of non-steroid anti-inflammtory drugs ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking ( OR=3.261, 95% CI: 2.072 to 5.133, P<0.001), high energy injury ( OR=2.010, 95% CI: 1.085 to 3.722, P=0.026), multiple injuries ( OR=3.354, 95% CI: 1.985 to 5.669, P<0.001), AO type 32-C fracture (type 32-C fracture used as a reference, P=0.034), internal fixation failure ( OR=3.517, 95% CI: 1.806 to 6.849, P<0.001), external stent fixation (external stent fixation used as a reference, P=0.009) were the risk factors for nonunion after femoral shaft fractures. Conclusions:After surgery for patients with femoral shaft fracture, special attention should be paid to those with a smoking habit, high-energy injury, multiple injuries, AO type 32-C fracture, external stent fixation or a failed internal fixation, because they are high-risk groups prone to postoperative nonunion.

ABSTRACT

Fracture mapping, also known as mapping of fracture lines, is a technique of drawing fracture lines based on 3D reconstruction of radiological images. Fracture mapping can be used to describe fracture morphology, calculate fracture line angle and fragment area, improve clinical practice, propose a new classification system, clarify a fracture mechanism, and establish a model of bone fracture. At present, fracture mapping has become a powerful tool for study of morphology and clinical decision in orthopaedics. Reviewing the development of fracture mapping techniques, this paper addresses their clinical application in knee injuries, tibial plateau fracture, distal femur fracture and patellar fracture in particular. In addition, considering the trend of fracture mapping techniques and the morphology-related studies at present, we offer suggestions concerning improvement of techniques and morphology studies in knee injuries.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of single locked-plate internal fixation combined with autologous iliac bone graft in the treatment of Rorabeck type II periprosthetic distal femural fracture (PDFF) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A retrospective case series study was made on 13 patients suffering from Rorabeck type II PDFF after primary TKA together with severe osteoporosis (T value≤ -2.5 SD) admitted to 940th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA from January 2016 to December 2020, including 4 males and 9 females, aged 65-85 years [(75.2±6.5)years]. All patients were treated with single locked-plate internal fixation combined with autologous iliac bone graft. Anti-osteoporosis and early standardized joint function rehabilitation were undertaken postoperatively. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. The range of motion of knee joint was compared before operation, at postoperative 3, 6 and 12 months and at the last follow-up. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score was assessed at postoperative 3, 6 and 12 months and at the last follow-up to evaluate the recovery of knee joint function. The bone mineral density was reexamined at postoperative 6 months and 12 months to evaluate the therapeutic effect of anti-osteoporosis. Complications were detected as well.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-72 months [(43.2±19.9)months]. The operation time was 90-135 minutes [(103.8±12.6)minutes], with the intraoperative blood loss of 100-250 ml [(150.0±45.6)ml]. The range of motion of knee joint was (114.6±7.8)°, (90.4±8.0)°, (97.3±4.8)° and (98.1±6.3)° before operation and at postoperative 3, 6 and 12 months (all P<0.05). The HSS knee score was (80.2±2.2)points, (84.6±2.9)points and (87.3±3.3)points at postoperative 3, 6 and 12 months (all P<0.05). The knee joint function was excellent in 10 patients and good in 3 at postoperative12 months, and the excellent and good rate was 100%. The T value of bone mineral density was (-3.8±0.6)SD, (-3.4±0.6)SD and (-2.9±0.6)SD preoperatively and at postoperative 6 months and 12 months (all P<0.05). One patient experienced nonunion and was cured after secondary autologous iliac bone grafting combined with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) bone grafting. Three patients developed venous thrombosis of lower limbs and were cured with oral administration of rivaroxaban. One patient had mild knee flexion and extension limitation and was improved after manual release under femoral nerve block anesthesia and subsequent functional rehabilitation. Conclusion:For patients with Rorabeck type II PDFF after TKA, single locked-plate internal fixation combined with autologous iliac bone graft has advantages of short operation time, few intraoperative bleeding, satisfactory knee range of motion and functional recovery as well as significant improvement of bone mineral density.

ABSTRACT

Early internal fixation for intertrochanteric fracture of the femur can improve the quality of patients′ life and reduce disability and mortality. In the past, treatment of intertrochanteric fracture of the femur had some problems, such as head and neck screw cut-out, hip varus deformity, nail withdrawal, femoral neck shortening, and internal fixator fracture, etc., for which no reasonable explanation could be provided. The "lateral wall" theory has been recognized by most scholars and used to guide the development and clinical application of internal fixation, which has not entirely avoided the occurrence of the complications mentioned above. A correct understanding of the mechanics of the lateral wall of the proximal femur helps choose a reasonable internal fixation method for the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture of the femur to reduce the incidence of complications. The author firstly discusses the lateral wall measuring and fixation strengthening methods, reasonably explore the reasons for postoperative complications according to the theory of lever-pivot balance, and proposes that the proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN) is an ideal choice for the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture of the femur.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block combined with laryngeal mask general anesthesia and internal fixation of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) under ERAS concept in elderly patients.Methods:A total of 50 elderly patients with femoral trochanteric fractures treated with PFNA internal fixation who were admitted to Changsha Central Hospital from January 2021 to March 2022 were selected and according to the random number table method, they were divided into groups P and F, with 26 cases in group P (ultrasound-guided PENG block combined with laryngeal mask general anesthesia group) and 24 cases in group F [ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB)] combined with laryngeal mask general anesthesia group]. The bispectral index (BIS) of the two groups of patients was maintained within the range of 40-60, and the dosage of cyclopofol and remifentanil was adjusted according to the BIS and hemodynamic changes. Postoperative oxycodone was used for patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA). When the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score ≥4, 1 mg intravenous oxycodone was administered as rescue analgesia. The VAS score was observed and recorded before nerve block (T 0), 10 minutes after nerve block (T 1), 20 minutes after nerve block (T 2), when the patients were placed in body position after bed (T 3), after laryngeal mask removal (T 4), 12 h after operation (T 5), 24 h after operation (T 6) and 48 h after operation (T 7). The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2) at each time point from T 0 to T 4 were observed and recorded; the intraoperative dose of remifentanil, the rescue dose of oxycodone at postoperative T 6 and T 7, Lovett muscle strength score, anesthesia operation time, anesthesia recovery time and postoperative anesthesia-related complications were recorded. Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in VAS scores at T 0, T 4, T 5 and T 6, MAP, HR and SpO 2 at T 0, T 1, T 2 and T 4, the dosage of remifentanil during operation, the remedial dosage of oxycodone at T 6 after operation, anesthesia operation time and anesthesia recovery time (all P>0.05). Compared with group F, the VAS scores of group P at T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 7 were lower than those of group F (all P<0.05); At T 3, there was no significant difference in SpO 2 between the two groups ( P>0.05), but the MAP and HR in group P was lower than that in group F (all P<0.05); The remedial dose of oxycodone at T 7 in group P was lower than that in group F ( P<0.05), and the analgesic effect was longer; Lovett muscle strength score at T 6 and T 7 in group P was better than that in group F (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with FICB, ultrasound-guided PENG block used in PFNA internal fixation in elderly patients has faster effect, lower dosage of opioid analgesics, longer duration of analgesia, and less impact on postoperative lower limb muscle strength.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of internal fixation with common intramedullary nail versus bone cement reinforced antirotation intramedullary nail in the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture. Methods:A total of 106 patients with femoral trochanteric fractures who were surgically treated in Weihaiwei People's Hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group with 53 patients in each group. The control group received internal fixation with common intramedullary nails. The observation group was fixed with bone cement reinforced anti-rotation intramedullary nails. The therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in the amount of blood loss, postoperative Visual Analogue Scale score, amount of fluid drainage, postoperative time to get out of bed, and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups ( t = 1.33, 0.19, 0.34, 0.58, 0.37, all P > 0.05). Operative time in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group [(80.21 ± 6.52) minutes vs. (75.92 ± 8.15) minutes, t = 2.99, P < 0.05]. Time to fracture healing in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(9.25 ± 1.12) weeks vs. (10.05 ± 1.31) weeks, t = 3.37, P < 0.05]. The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [3.77% (2/53) vs. 16.98% (9/53), χ2 = 4.97, P = 0.025]. At 6 and 12 months after surgery, Harris hip scores in the observation group were (82.84 ± 6.58) points and (85.55 ± 7.91) points, respectively, which were significantly higher than (78.35 ± 7.54) points and (79.92 ± 9.94) points in the control group ( t = 3.26, 3.22, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Internal fixation with bone cement-reinforced anti-rotation intramedullary nails for treatment of femoral trochanteric fractures can shorten the time to fracture healing, reduce complications, and improve hip joint function.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate pain and mobility in patients with transtrochanteric fractures subjected to osteosynthesis with pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and compare with patients who did not receive the block. Methods: The medical records of 49 patients were analyzed and data were collected regarding: age, gender, anesthetic evaluation, cause of trauma, locomotion, fracture classification, type of anesthesia used, anesthetic technique, pain, opioid administration and mobility with partial load. Results: Out of 49 patients, 17 (34.7 %) received PENG block. After surgery, most patients complained of pain and opioids were administered (67.3 %), with greatest frequency in the group without PENG block (93.3 %). Most patients who received PENG block walked within 6 h after surgery (52.9 %) and all recovered the ability to walk until hospital discharge (48 h), different from the group that did not receive PENG block (p = 0.012). The groups showed a significant difference between them regarding the frequency of reports of moderate to severe pain (p = 0.003). Conclusion: The use of PENG block in patients with transtrochanteric fractures subjected to osteosynthesis can help to reduce postoperative pain, early mobility with partial load and less use of opioids. Level of Evidence III, Retrospective Comparative Study.


RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a dor e a mobilidade em pacientes com fraturas transtrocantéricas submetidos à osteossíntese com bloqueio do grupo de nervos pericapsulares (PENG) e comparar a pacientes que não receberam o bloqueio. Métodos: Foram analisados os prontuários de 49 pacientes e coletados dados referentes a: idade, sexo, avaliação anestésica, causa do trauma, locomoção, classificação da fratura, tipo de anestesia utilizada, técnica anestésica, dor, administração de opioide e deambulação com carga parcial. Resultados: Dos 49 pacientes, 17 (34,7%) receberam o bloqueio PENG. Após a cirurgia, a maioria dos pacientes queixou-se de dor e foi administrado opioide (67,3%), sendo a maior frequência no grupo sem o bloqueio PENG (93,3%). A maioria dos pacientes que receberam bloqueio PENG deambularam em até 6h após a cirurgia (52,9%) e todos recuperaram a capacidade de deambular até a alta hospitalar (48h), diferindo do grupo que não recebeu o bloqueio PENG (p = 0,012). Houve diferença significativa entre os grupos em relação à frequência de relatos de dor moderada a forte (p = 0,003). Conclusão: O uso de bloqueio PENG em pacientes com fraturas transtrocantéricas submetidos à osteossíntese pode auxiliar na diminuição da dor pós-operatória, deambulação precoce com carga parcial e menor necessidade de uso de opioides. Nível de Evidência III, Estudo Retrospectivo Comparativo.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the epidemiological profile of older patients with proximal femoral fractures treated at the Hospital Regional de Cotia, SP - Brazil, and describe the nutritional status of these patients. Methods: Data were obtained from the electronic patient medical records from August 2020 to April 2021. The variables studied were age, gender, ethnicity, weight and height (for BMI calculation), and presence of comorbidities. Fracture circumstances were also assessed, including trauma mechanism, anatomical location, and treatment. Moreover, the nutritional profile of patients was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MAN). Results: Most patients were white women, with a mean age of 80 years and an average BMI of 23.55 kg/m2. Almost all patients suffered the fracture at home and the most common comorbidities were systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and Alzheimer's disease. Most patients were considered to be malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. Conclusion: The nutritional status of older adults seems to be directly related to the risk of proximal fractures of the femur. Level of Evidence II, Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo Determinar la prevalencia de fracturas periprotésicas en pacientes con antecedente de reemplazo de cadera que ingresaron a un servicio de ortopedia entre el 2010 al 2018. Materiales y métodos 709 pacientes fueron atendidos, pero solo 15 pacientes presentaron fracturas periprotésicas. Resultados La prevalencia de fracturas periprotésicas fue del 2.1% (IC 95%: 1.05; 3.17). La mayor parte de los casos se presentaron en el sexo femenino con un porcentaje de 53,3%, con edad promedio de 74.2 año. Las principales causas de fractura periprotésica fueron el trauma en la cadera por caída desde su propia altura. Solo el 12.12% presentaron alguna complicación local o sistémica. Conclusiones La prevalencia de fracturas periprotésicas fue menor del 3%; esta patología depende de distintos factores que se deben tener en cuenta al momento de realizar los procedimientos quirúrgicos.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the value of lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve block combined with low-dose Remimazolam in elderly proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA)surgery.Methods:60 elderly patients with PFNA surgery were treated from September 2021 to March 2022 in our hospital.They were randomly divided into Propofol group receiving intravenous general anesthesia with laryngeal mask combined with Propofol(control group, n=30)and Remimazolam group with lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve block with laryngeal mask combined with low-dose Remimazolam anesthesia(experimental group, n=30). Mean arterial pressure(MAP)at different time points, heart rate, awakening quality[laryngeal mask removal time], vigilance / sedative observation(OAA / S)score at 15 min after surgery, observation time and various adverse reactions in anesthesia recovery room(in a postanaesthesia care unit, PACU), Montreal cognitive function scale(MoCA)1 day after operation, visual analog score(VAS)at different time points were compared between the two groups.Results:The levels of MAP and HR at the moments of T1, T2, T3, and T4 were lower in the observation group than in the control group(all P<0.05). The time of laryngeal mask removal was shorter in the observation group than in the control group[(8.7±1.3)min and(12.3±1.4)min, t=7.09, P<0.001]. The OAA/S scale value at 15 min after surgery was higher in the observation group than in the control group[(4.6±0.3)and(4.1±0.5), t=4.841, P<0.001]. The incidence of adverse reactions was lower in the observation group than in the control group(3.3% and 20%, χ2=4.043, P=0.044). Visual analogue scale(VAS)value at 3, 6 and 9 hour after surgery were lower in the observation group than in the control group(all P<0.05). The MoCA scores at 6 and 12 hours after operation were higher in the observation group than in the control group( P<0.05). Conclusions:Lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve block combined with low-dose Remimazolam in elderly PFNA surgery is effective and safe, which can reduce the intraoperative hemodynamic fluctuations, optimize the patient's recovery quality, facilitate the postoperative cognitive function recovery, reduce the various adverse reactions, and provide the good analgesic effect within 12 hours after operation.
