RESUMO

BACKGROUND: From February 21, the day of hospitalisation in ICU of the first diagnosed case of Covid-19, the social situation and the hospitals' organisation throughout Italy dramatically changed. METHODS: The CIO (Club Italiano dell'Osteosintesi) is an Italian society devoted to the study of traumatology that counts members spread in public and private hospitals throughout the country. Fifteen members of the CIO, Chairmen of 15 Orthopaedic and Trauma Units of level 1 or 2 trauma centres in Italy, have been involved in the study. They were asked to record data about surgical, outpatients clinics and ER activity from the 23rd of February to the 4th of April 2020. The data collected were compared with the data of the same timeframe of the previous year (2019). RESULTS: Comparing with last year, overall outpatient activity reduced up to 75%, overall Emergency Room (ER) trauma consultations up to 71%, elective surgical activity reduced up to 100% within two weeks and trauma surgery excluding femoral neck fractures up to 50%. The surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures showed a stable reduction from 15 to 20% without a significant variation during the timeframe. CONCLUSIONS: Covid-19 outbreak showed a tremendous impact on all orthopaedic trauma activities throughout the country except for the surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures, which, although reduced, did not change in percentage within the analysed timeframe.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE WORK: Quadriceps and patellar tendon rupture are relatively uncommon but can result in a disabling condition if untreated. We retrospectively review all our cases treated with suture anchors from 2014 to 2018, to evaluate midterm outcome of this technique. METHODS: Traumatic and atraumatic quadriceps and patellar tendon preinsertional lesions were acutely treated with Healix Ti and FaStin RC 5mm suture anchors and an aggressive rehabilitation protocol was prescribed to patients. RESULTS: Good to excellent results according to the Modified Cincinnati Rating System Questionnaire was obtained at a mean 12 months followup, without major complications. CONCLUSIONS: Suture anchors are a promising alternative to transosseus suture for acute repair of quadriceps and patellar tendon lesions, but longer followups are needed for detect long-term complications.

RESUMO

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare, in terms of blood loss and implant alignment, a new generation of smart extramedullary (EM) cutting guides with the conventional intramedullary (IM) guide for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The hypothesis was that the EM system would result in less blood loss and fewer days of hospitalization, while ensuring equal or higher accuracy in the alignment of the femoral implant. Methods Thirty-six patients were enrolled for the present study: 18 patients underwent TKA using the EM guide and for the other 18 patients the IM guide was used. Preoperative and postoperative X-rays were acquired. The preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin values were compared. Lastly, length of hospital stay was recorded. Results The hemoglobin difference was significantly lower in the EM group. The alignment of the prosthetic femoral implant in the two groups was comparable but all patients in the EM cohort had a final alignment within 3 degrees of range on the frontal view, while 22% of the patients in the IM cohort had a final alignment exceeding 3 degrees of range. The mean hospitalization duration showed no significant difference between groups, though EM group showed 1.6 days less compared with IM group. Conclusions The inertial-based EM guide system could be useful for decreasing blood loss compared with conventional guide. This device tended to have better results even in terms of accuracy, but this difference was not significant. Level of Evidence This is a level II, prospective cohort study.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE WORK: The international literature and analysis of the prosthetic registers highlight a significant relationship between the alignment of the components and the survival of prosthetic implants of the knee. The patient specific instrumentation (PSI) technology exploits the data obtained with the MRN for the production of cutting blocks (CB) useful to a TKA. Revisiting the recent international literature, comparing the results of the conventional method and PSI, numerous studies confirm a statistically significant difference of inliers (± 3 degrees) for HKA. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate whether these statistically significant difference is also present in our group. METHODS: Postoperative radiographic measures of alignment based on a mechanical limb axis (hip-knee-ankle angle, HKA) of 180° were sought. A range of 180° ± 3° varus/valgus was defined as optimal for mechanical axis. RESULTS: The percentage of knees that had a HKA within ±3° of the desired value was 92.2. CONCLUSION: the CB did accurately produce the desired HKA. The PS system is an effective and reproducible, whose organizational effort is fully justified.
