RESUMO

Concussion in the setting of facial trauma is an entity that can be overlooked. Having a high index of suspicion is critical in initial management and prompt treatment. Clinical signs can be common manifestations of a concussion. Serial examinations are important as these clinical manifestations can occur later in the hospitalization. Cognitive assessment tools can also give a baseline of a patient and can be used to assess recovery from a concussion. Assessment of the vestibular and oculomotor system can play a critical role in treatment. Prompt recognition and immediate treatment can help shorten the symptomatology and course of treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The microfracture technique for cartilage repair has limited ability to regenerate hyaline cartilage. AIM: The current study made a direct comparison between microfracture and an osteochondral approach with microsphere-based gradient plugs. MATERIALS & METHODS: The PLGA-based scaffolds had opposing gradients of chondroitin sulfate and ß-tricalcium phosphate. A 1-year repair study in sheep was conducted. RESULTS: The repair tissues in the microfracture were mostly fibrous and had scattered fissures with degenerative changes. Cartilage regenerated with the gradient plugs had equal or superior mechanical properties; had lacunated cells and stable matrix as in hyaline cartilage. CONCLUSION: This first report of gradient scaffolds in a long-term, large animal, osteochondral defect demonstrated potential for equal or better cartilage repair than microfracture.

RESUMO

Most contemporary biomaterial designs for osteochondral regeneration utilize monolithic, biphasic, or even multiphasic constructs. We have introduced a microsphere-based approach to create a continuous gradient in both material composition and encapsulated growth factors. The gradients were fabricated by filling a cylindrical mold with opposing gradients of two different types of poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres. The chondrogenic microspheres were loaded with transforming growth factor-ß1, whereas the osteogenic microspheres contained bone morphogenetic protein-2 with or without nanophase hydroxyapatite. The gradient scaffolds (material gradient only, signal gradient only, or material/signal gradient combination) or blank control scaffolds were implanted in 3.5 mm-diameter defects in rabbit knees for 6 or 12 weeks. This is the first in vivo evaluation of these novel gradient scaffolds in the knee. The gross morphology, MRI, and histology indicated that the greatest extent of regeneration was achieved when both signal and material gradients were included together. This combination resulted in complete bone ingrowth, with an overlying cartilage layer with high glycosaminoglycan content, appropriate thickness, and integration with the surrounding cartilage and underlying bone. The results suggest that osteochondral regeneration may benefit from biomaterials that integrate a continuous gradient in both material composition and encapsulated growth factors.

RESUMO

This study evaluated the resistance to gapping and the mode of failure for 2 knotless suture anchor systems used for rotator cuff repair compared with the performance of a conventional titanium anchor system. Eight matched pairs of fresh-frozen humeri were dissected free of all soft tissues and scanned to measure bone mineral density (BMD). The suture anchor systems tested were the TwinFix 5.0 Titanium (Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA), Bioknotless RC (DePuy Mitek, Norwood, MA), and Magnum (Opus Medical, San Juan Capistrano, CA), and each was inserted into each humerus. Cyclic, tensile loading was applied through the suture loop for 5000 cycles, or until failure, by using a servohydraulic testing machine. Gapping distances, defined as increasing elongation of the bone/anchor/suture system, were continuously measured. Total cycles to failure and mechanism of failure were documented. Mean initial (first cycle) and final (last cycle) gapping distances were 3.81 mm and 5.36 mm for the TwinFix 5.0, 4.02 mm and 5.34 mm for the Bioknotless RC, and 3.56 mm and 4.98 mm for the Magnum anchors. No significant difference was detected among mean gap openings (P > .05). However, the Bioknotless RC had more early failures (5) than the other 2 implants (1 each), approaching significance (P = .07). Trials of the Bioknotless RC that did not fail early were found to have significantly less gap opening than the other 2 systems for both initial (1.89 mm vs 3.82 mm for the TwinFix 5.0 and 3.56 mm for the Magnum) and final (2.00 mm vs 4.68 mm for the TwinFix 5.0 and 4.24 mm for the Magnum) gap opening. BMD was a significant predictor of initial (P = .029) and final (P = .008) gap opening, whereas the site of anchor insertion was a significant predictor of final displacement. The Opus Magnum was comparable with a conventional suture anchor, but the Mitek Bioknotless RC showed a trend toward early failure. Biomechanical analysis of knotless suture anchor systems can demonstrate trends among implants in an experimental setting. Knowledge of these trends could influence implant selection.
