RESUMO

Nonunion of an unstable pelvic fracture with cranial displacement pelvic surgery is technically difficult due to a large amount of bleeding and the risk of nerve damage. In addition, surgical correction of leg length discrepancy by reduction of a dislocated sacroiliac joint is in high demand. Nevertheless, when a patient is strongly disabled by a pelvic deformity, surgical correction may be necessary. Two patients with pelvic deformity were treated successfully by surgical correction and osteosynthesis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We report intra- and postoperative complications of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). METHODS: This study was conducted on 246 cases of UKA which were performed for degenerative osteoarthritis confined to the medial compartment, from May 2002 to May 2010, for which follow-up periods longer than one year were available. Complications were divided into intra- and postoperative complications. Pre- and postoperative clinical scores, the range of motion, and radiologic findings were analyzed. RESULTS: Complications developed in a total of 24 cases (9.8%, 24/246). Among them, 6 cases had intraoperative complications while 18 had postoperative complications. Among the 6 intraoperative complications, one fracture of the medial tibial condyle, two fractures of the intercondylar eminence, one rupture of the medial collateral ligament, one widening of the peg hole leading to femoral component malposition and late failure, and one total knee arthroplasty (TKA) conversion of a large bony defect of tibial avascular necrosis were observed. Among the 18 postoperative complications, four cases of aseptic loosening of the femoral component, one soft tissue impingement due to malalignment, nine cases of polyethylene bearing dislocation, one case of suprapatellar bursitis, one periprosthetic fracture, one TKA conversion due to medial component overhanging, and one TKA conversion due to pain of unexplained cause were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The mid-term clinical outcomes of UKA were excellent in our study. However, the incidence of complications was very high (9.8%). To prevent intra- and postoperative complications, proper selection of the patients and accurate surgical techniques are required.

RESUMO

As the duration of diabetes mellitus (DM) increases, the risk of complications increases and the prevalence of depression becomes higher. Most studies on depression in Korean patients with DM have focused on a point 5-10 years after diagnosis, and there has not been much data reported regarding the early stages of DM, including newly developed DM. In this study, we examined whether blood glucose levels could be associated with emotional symptoms such as depression (DS) and anxiety (AS) in patients newly diagnosed with DM. Serum glucose and HbA1c were measured in 89 patients with DM. The Impact of Event Scale (IES) was used to investigate the extent of the psychological impact of a diagnosis of DM. The IES comprises four elements: hyperarousal, intrusiveness, avoidance, and sleep problems. DS and AS were investigated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scales. DS was observed in 32 patients (36%) and AS was observed in 21 patients (23.6%), indicating a higher prevalence of DS and AS than in the general population. There was an inverse correlation between HbA1c and DS (Pearson's correlation coefficient: R = -0.227; P = 0.035), but no correlation was found for AS. The four elements of the IES had significant correlations with DS and AS. Logistic regression analysis showed that sleep problems (OR = 1.437) and HbA1c (OR = 0.51) were associated with DS, but only intrusiveness (OR = 0.629) showed a correlation with AS. In patients newly diagnosed with DM, DS is associated with sleep problems and low HbA1c levels. Emotional symptoms should be considered as part of glucose control, and efforts to mitigate psychological stress during the initial period of diabetes management should be made.

RESUMO

Flexible bronchoscopy is a safe medical procedure, but the incidence rate of major complications is 0.08-0.3%. Here, we report 2 cases of stress induced cardiomyopathy, which developed immediately after flexible bronchoscopy. Stress related cardiomyopathy was confirmed by EKG, echocardiography, and coronary angiogram. The cardiac functions of these patients were fully recovered with conservative treatment. Although, the pathogenesis of stress related cardiomyopathy is not well understood, post-bronchoscopy tachycardia or arrhythmia is thought to be associated with hypoxemia or catecholamine excess. Because the clinical presentation is quite similar to acute myocardial infarction, discrete evaluations are required for appropriate treatment.

RESUMO

Wegener's granulomatosis is a very rare systemic vasculitis characterized by necrotizing granulomatosis. The detection of antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA) is a valuable finding in diagnosing Wegener's granulomatosis because ANCA is positive in approximately 90 percent of patients with active, generalized Wegener's granulomatosis. But ANCA is not necessarily positive to make a diagnosis. A 59-year-old man was transferred to our hospital. He was diagnosed with lung abscess and treated with antibiotics at previous hospital. Initially, the ANCA was negative in immunofluorescence assay but we suspected Wegener's granulomatosis because of systemic inflammatory symptoms. Clinical symptoms deteriorated rapidly so we did bronchoscopic biopsy early. Wegener's granulomatosis was diagnosed according to pathologic finding that reported necrotizing granulomatous inflammation associated with vasculitis. Thus we treated with steroid then clinical symptoms and laboratory findings were improved.

RESUMO

The totally implantable venous port device is used in patients undergoing chemotherapy. The complications associated with this device include venous thrombosis, infection, catheter fracture, extravasation, and intravascular dislodgement. The incidence of port catheter dislodgement is low. The treatment of choice for port dislocation involves immediate retrieval of the distal migrated part, and percutaneous transcatheter retrieval is regarded as the standard method. A 40-year-old female presented with intermittent palpitation. She was referred from the Department of General Surgery after detection of a fractured and dislocated implantable venous port system into the main pulmonary artery. We successfully retrieved the dislocated fractured device using a 5-Fr pigtail catheter and snare catheter. We herein report this case with a literature review.

RESUMO

A 61-year-old male who complained of right upper quadrant pain was referred to the authors for evaluation after his computed tomography suggested biliary adenocarcinoma. The lesion consisted of multiple cysts with papillary mass and peri-ampullay mass. The patient underwent an operation due to a clinical suspicion of biliary cystadenocarcinoma, but the pathology confirmed biliary papillomatosis (BP) after diagnosing intrahepatic papillary neoplasm with high-grade dysplasia and invasive adenocarcinoma with papillary neoplasm from the distal common bile duct to the duodenum. BP is a disease characterized by multiple papillary masses. Its cause has yet to be discovered. It commonly manifests as bile duct dilation but rarely as a ductal cystic change. Under computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, both the BP and the cystic neoplasm can show bile duct dilation and a papillary mass, which makes their differential diagnosis difficult. A confirmative diagnosis can be made through a pathologic examination. BP is classified as a benign disease that can become malignant and may recur, though rarely. Its treatment of choice is surgical resection. Laser ablation or photodynamic therapy can be used for unresectable lesions. In the case featured in this paper, biliary papillomatosis was difficult to differentiate from cystic adenocarcinoma due to diffusely scattered multiple large cystic lesions in the liver, and it was histologically confirmed to have become malignant with cystic duct dilation after the operation. This case is reported herein with a literature review.
