ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The treatment of trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis through the implantation of total trapeziometacarpal prostheses is in continuous expansion. The Isis® prosthesis is a trunk-conical threaded anchorage prosthesis. Our objective was to assess the functional results and survival of this implant for at least one year of follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Prospective study on 53 Isis® prosthesis, implanted from april 2014 to january 2019. The Van Cappelle functional test, pain, strength, mobility, return to previous activity, radiological variables and placement of the trapezial component were evaluated. The surgical technique was performed with a guide wirefocused on the trapezius and control of the scopia. Observed complications were recorded and statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS: Fifty-one implants (49 patients) were reviewed. Mean follow-up was 2.1 years (1-5.7). Van Cappelle's test, pain, mobility, and grip and clamp strength improved significantly, as did the distance between the metacarpal head and the trapezius base; 96% of the patients returned in less than 6 months to their activities. Minor complications, 3 De Quervain's tendinopathy and 2 intra-operative metacarpal and 2 trapezium fractures were recorded, and one carpal tunnel syndrome. There was no dislocation, mobilization, or implant infection. CONCLUSIONS: The functional results of the Isis® prosthesis are excellent in the short term, far exceeding the first year of 100% of survival. The complications that arose were minor and few. The anchorage and placement of the trapezial component guided by scopia seem to be crucial for the good result.

ABSTRACT

Trapeziometacarpal joint arthrodesis is a surgical option for osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint; however, it has well-known disadvantages such as non-union and reduced mobility. Revision procedures are often not discussed and lack consensus. We are reporting two cases of satisfactory thumb implant arthroplasty for failed trapeziometacarpal joint arthrodesis in order to discuss the surgical technique, its advantages compared with other surgical options and therefore its potential indications.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: This study aimed to set up an experimental model of long bone atrophic nonunion and to explore the potential role of PTH-1-84 (PTH 1-84) and strontium ranelate (SrR). A model of atrophic nonunion was created in Sprague-Dawley rats at the femoral midshaft level. The animals were randomised into four groups. Group A1: control rodents, fracture without bone gap; Group A2: rodents with subtraction osteotomy (non-union model control) treated with saline; Group B: rodents with subtraction osteotomy treated with human-PTH (PTH 1-84); and Group C: rodents with subtraction osteotomy treated with strontium ranelate (SrR). The groups were followed for 12 weeks. X-rays were be obtained at weeks 1, 6 and 12. After sacrificing the animals, we proceeded to the biomechanical study and four point bending tests to evaluate the resistance of the callus and histological study. In second phase, the expression of genes related to osteoblast function was analysed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR in rats subjected to substraction osteotomy and treated for 2 weeks. The animals were randomised into three groups: Group A2: rodents treated with saline; Group B: rodents treated with PTH 1-84 and Group C: rodents treated with SrR. RESULTS: No significant histological differences were found between animals subjected to subtraction osteotomy and treated with either saline or PTH (p=0.628), but significant difference existed between animals receiving saline or SrR (p=0.005). There were no significant differences in X-ray score between the saline and PTH groups at either 6 or 12 weeks (p=0.33 and 0.36, respectively). On the other hand, better X-ray scores were found in the SrR group (p=0.047 and 0.006 in comparison with saline, at 6 and 12 weeks, respectively). In line with this, biomechanical tests revealed improved results in the SrR group. Gene expression analysis revealed a slightly decreased levels of DKK1, a Wnt pathway inhibitor, in rats treated with SrR. CONCLUSIONS: SrR increases has a beneficial effect in this atrophic non-union model in rats. This suggests that it might have a role may have important implications for the potential clinical role in the treatment of fracture nonunion.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: An analysis was made on relationship between Notching and functional and radiographic parameters after treatment of acute proximal humeral fractures with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS: A retrospective evaluation was performed on 37 patients with acute proximal humeral fracture treated by reversed shoulder arthroplasty. The mean follow-up was 24 months. Range of motion, intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded. Nerot's classification was used to evaluate Notching. Patient satisfaction was evaluated with the Constant Score (CS). Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between Notching and glenosphere position, or functional outcomes. RESULTS: Mean range of elevation, abduction, external and internal rotation were 106.22°, 104.46°, 46.08° and 40.27°, respectively. Mean CS was 63. Notching was present at 12 months in 29% of patients. Statistical analysis showed significance differences between age and CS, age and notching development, and tilt with notching. No statistical significance differences were found between elevation, abduction, internal and external rotation and CS either with scapular or glenosphere-neck angle. CONCLUSION: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is a valuable option for acute humeral fractures in patients with osteoporosis and cuff-tear arthropathy. It leads to early pain relief and shoulder motion. Nevertheless, it is not exempt from complications, and long-term studies are needed to determine the importance of notching.
