ABSTRACT

The common causes of rhabdomyolysis include trauma, hypoxia, drugs, toxins, infections and hyperthermia. Operative insults, including direct trauma and ischemia, have the potential to cause the development of rhabdomyolysis. Pneumatic tourniquets used during arthroscopic knee surgery to prevent blood loss have led to many complications such as nerve paralysis and vascular injuries. Rhabdomyolysis can also be caused by prolonged pneumatic tourniquet application without a midapplication release, and also from an increased application pressure, but the actual incidence of this is low. In order to prevent rhabdomyolysis, the clinicians must be aware of such risks and follow strict guidelines for the application time, the midapplication release and also the inflation pressure. Vigorous hydration and postoperative patient surveillance are helpful to prevent rhabdomyolysis. We have recently experienced a case of rhabdomyolysis after the arthroscopic knee surgery, and the rhabdomyolysis could have been associated with the use of a pneumatic tourniquet.

ABSTRACT

To elucidate the effects of arthroscopy and intraarticular hyaluronan therapies on antioxidant enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation. This study was conducted between January and May 2005, at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Suleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey. A total of 60 patients with knee pain who were diagnosed as knee osteoarthritis according to the American College of Rheumatology ACR criteria were included in this study and randomly and equally divided into 4 groups. Intraarticular Hylan G-F 20 treatment was given to group 1 for 3 weeks. Intraarticular Hylan G-F 20 treatment plus oral vitamin E were administered to group 2 for 3 weeks. Only arthroscopy treatment was applied to the control group group 3. Intraarticular Na-hyaluronate treatment was given to group 4 for 5 weeks. Blood and synovial fluid samples were taken from all the patients for biochemical analysis, and the following parameters were measured: superoxide dismutase SOD, catalase CAT, glutathione peroxidase GPx, and malondialdehyde MDA. There was no significant difference in blood SOD, CAT, GPx levels, and synovial SOD and GPx levels in groups treated with hyaluronan, when compared with the controls. However, there was a significant change in MDA levels in synovial fluid samples of group 1, group 2, and group 4, when compared with the controls. In knee osteoarthritis, intraarticular hyaluronan therapy following arthroscopy may diminish lipid peroxidation in synovial fluid

ABSTRACT

The concept of evaluating the musculoskeletal system with ultrasound was initially introduced in the late 1970s. For evaluating meniscal tears, which are a common injury in traumatic events of knee, linear probes with high resolution have been used. In this study, we compared the results of sonography with arthroscopy in diagnosing bucket h and le tear of meniscus and MCL tear. 218 clinically symptomatic knee joints with clinical indication of arthroscopy were examined by sonography in a referral sport medicine center. The patients eventually had arthroscopic exam. The results were compared, and statistically analyzed using Fisher's exact. In this study, of 218 patient who had arthroscopy and sonography, the sensitivity and specificity of sonography in meniscal tear were 68.1% and 100%, respectively. 34 patients had bucket h and le tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus on sonography; six cases [17.6%] of which had abnormally small posterior horns of medial meniscus [in favor of meniscal tear] but in 60 patients with other types of meniscal tear, sonography revealed tear in 58 [96.6%][P < 0.0001]. Six patients had complete MCL tear in arthroscopy, while in sonography 4 complete MCL tears were shown. Sensitivity of ultrasound in diagnosing complete MCL tear was 66.6% and specificity of 98%. Ultrasound is easily applicable in evaluation of knee derangement: however, for bucket h and le tears it has limited application. For MCL tears, sonography seems an accurate method. Ultrasonography is rapid, low-cost and non-invasive examination

ABSTRACT

A prospective study included 22 patients with a symptomatic triangular A. JL Jibrocartilage tear [Palmer's type IB or type 1C]. Pre-operative clinical diagnosis was confirmed by conventional MRI, MRI arthrogram and arthroscopically. All cases were arthroscopically repaired using the two needle technique. The mean follow-up period was 26 [range, 11 to 48] months. Pre-operatively, all patients complained of pain, restricted wrist and forearm motion and weakness of hand grip. According to the used El-Hadra wrist function scoring system, the mean pre-operative score was 9 [range, 4 to 12] points that improved after surgery to a mean of 20 [range, 16 to24] points, with thirteen wrists were graded excellent, eight good and one as fair. Pain was relieved completely in 15 wrists. Eighteen patients gradually returned to their original jobs and sports activities. The mean objective range of wrist movements increased to 91% of that of the normal side and the mean grip strength improved to 83% of the unaffected side. The results are encouraging and the procedure would seem to be an effective treatment for Palmer's types IB and 1C TFCC tears. It is also a less invasive option of management that may have mechanical advantages of stabilizing the ulnocarpal articulation and the distal radioulnar joint, while significantly improving the clinical symptoms

ABSTRACT

Frozen shoulder is defined by restriction of active and passive shoulder motion in all planes without a known specific cause. The pathophysiology and time course of the disease is still unclear. It is usually self-limited disorder generally lasting 12-18 months and is divided into three phases: freezing phase then frozen phase followed by thawing phase. Thirty eight patients are included in this study complaing of pain, limitation of motion, functional limitation and sleep disturbance and have been symptomatic for more than eight months and have failed course of conservative non-operative treatment for at least 4 months. The patients are manipulated under general anesthesia in the beach-chair position followed by arthro-scopic examination and debridement of the glenohumeral joint and the subacromial space. The use of arthroscopy allows identification and treatment of associated pathology and increases range of motion through artrosco-pically -guided sectioning of coracohumeral ligament. The overall results are satisfactory in 31 cases [81.5%] which are comparable to the commonly published series

ABSTRACT

Las anomalías en la forma del menisco interno son menos frecuentes que aquellas del menisco externo. Nosotros presentamos el caso de un paciente de 17 años con una inserción anómala del cuerno anterior del menisco interno, constituyendo una variante de menisco discoide unilateral. Como hallazgo intraoperatorio se encontró una lesión horizontal del cuerno anterior, la cual se remodeló. Se hace una revisión de la literatura teniendo en cuenta lo poco usual de esta patología, valorando los factores anatómicos y embriológicos.

ABSTRACT

El presente estudio tiene el objeto de recomendar el uso de bupivacina más epinefrina intraarticular al término de la cirugía artroscopica de rodilla como analgésico y antihemorrágico. Para poder cumplir con lo expuesto y que los resultados contribuyan directamente en beneficio del paciente, el estudio se ha dividido en dos etapas, la primera un estudio piloto descriptivo realizado en 53 pacientes que acudieron a los hospitales Carlos Andrade Marín y de las Fuerzas armadas de Quito en un período de tres meses, los casos fueron escogidos de acuerdo a criterios de inclusión y exclusión. la segunda etapa un estudio randomizado, a doble ciego en 24 pacientes cuyo n fue determinado en base a datos del estudio piloto inicial, en los mismos hospitales. La primera etapa se realizó en tres meses siendo una decisión operativa, así como se necesitó dos meses para la segunda etapa. En el estudio descriptivo se evaluó el dolor en relación al movimiento articular y a los rangos de movilidad alcanzados activamente. El sangrado existente a través del choque rotuliano y la cantidad de sangre obtenida por punción articular. En la segunda etapa para que le estudio del dolor y del sangrado tenga una valoración cuantitativa se utilizó además la escala analógica visual del dolor, así como, la valoración de hemoglobina y proteínas en el líquido obtenido por punción. Entre la primera y segunda etapa de la investigación existe bastante militud en la población estudiada; así tenemos que los pacientes con patología de rodilla que fueron sometidos a artroscopia se hallan entre los 20 y 49 años de edad; en la primera etapa con 44 de 46 pacientes que representaba el 95 por ciento, en la segunda etapa con 22 de 24 pacientes que representa el 91,7 por ciento. El diagnostico preoperatorio más frecuente fueron las meniscopatias: En la primera etapa con 29 pacientes que representael 63 por ciento, en la segunda etapa con 15 pacientes que representa el 62.2 por ciento. El tiempo de intervención quirúrgica en las dos etapas tiene una medida de 44.4 minutos. El mayor porcentaje de diagnósticos definitivos de las patologías en el transoperatorio fueron las meniscopatías: en la primera etapa con 24 pacientes que equivalen al 52.2 por ciento y en la segunda etapa con 12 pacientes que equivalen al 50 por ciento Las intervenciones más frecuentes por lo tanto, fueron las menisctomias, en la primera etapa con 18 procedimientos que represe...

ABSTRACT

El presente estudio de caracter retrospectivo, llevado a cabo en el Hospital San Juan de Dios de Bogota, sobre 48 procedimientos artroscopicos, realizados en igual numero de pacientes y fundamentalmente dirigidos a diagnostico endoscopico de problemas cronicos de rodilla. De otra parte, el estudio extendio su interes a las plicas como elementos sintomaticos, y su hallazgo esyadistico y patogenico, del 6.5%, motivo la iniciacion de un estudio retrospectivo de esta entidad. La edad promedio fue de 26.7 anos. El minimo se 15 y el maximo de 50 anos. 8 pacientes se beneficiaron con procedimientos minimos operatorios a traves del artroscopio. La comparacion entre el diagnostico de presuncion y el hallazgo artroscopico, arrojo tan solo un 22.9%de aciertos en el diagnostico clinico y correspondieron a 11 pacientes. Cinco pacientes no presentaron hallazgos. No se presentaron complicaciones importantes, no hubo infeccion en ninguno de los casos, el promedio de seguimiento de los pacientes fue de 8 semanas y asistieron al control 81.25%de los mismos (39 pacientes). 6 de los pacientes sometidos a atroscopia, quienes presentaban caracteristicas clinicas de Sindrome de Plica, fueron sometidos a artrografia previa por la tecnica de Aprin y Shapiro, con el fin de encontrar bandas fibroticas sinoviales sintomaticas. De estas 6 artrografias, 3 fueron positivas para plicas, pero tan solo 2 probaron ser sintomaticas, dadas sus caracteristicas anatomopatologicas y la mejoria presentada por estos pacientes tras la escion quirurgica. Con el presente estudio tan solo hemos querido comprobar una vez mas la utilizacion del procedimiento en los...
