RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Health care providers play an important role in the national opioid crisis with 40% of opioid-related deaths being attributed to prescription medications (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 2018) and as many as half of the opioid pills prescribed after outpatient plastic surgery may go unused (Plast Reconstr Surg 2019;143:929-938). The purpose of this study was to provide broad foundational data regarding postoperative analgesic prescribing patterns among members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) to facilitate inclusion of opioid data fields in the ASPS Tracking Operations and Outcomes for Plastic Surgeons database for longitudinal evaluation. METHODS: A survey regarding opioid prescribing practices was electronically distributed to a representative cohort of 2555 ASPS members. Two hundred seventy-nine responses (11% response rate) were received. RESULTS: The majority of respondents reported prescribing opioids following 1 or more types of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures (90.2% and 81.7%, respectively; p = 0.0057), most commonly oxycodone and hydrocodone. Most (61.9%) reported less than 5% of patients request an opioid refill. Nonopioid medications, most commonly acetaminophen and ibuprofen/naproxen, were also prescribed but less commonly so for cosmetic (80.7-85.8%) than reconstructive (86.3-91.5%) procedures. Local anesthetic was less commonly used for mastopexy (83.7%) than augmentation (91.8%, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Based on survey responses, potential areas of improvement to reduce opioid prescribing and use include provider education on the use of multimodal pain regimens including nonopioid medication and "as needed" rather than scheduled dosing, use of local anesthetic blocks, as well as patient education on opioid safety and proper disposal of unused medication.

RESUMO

This review discusses the anatomy and biomechanics of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. This articulation between the trapezium and first metacarpal is integral for opposition and other complex movements necessary for pinch and grasp maneuvers. Fortunately, this joint is well equipped to handle the extreme forces imposed by these movements, as it is stabilized by an elaborate arrangement of ligaments and muscles. Without this stability, thumb subluxation would occur with loading during pinch and grasp, and human prehension would be impossible. Understanding the interactions occurring within this joint is essential for adequately treating pathology arising in this crucial joint.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The latissimus dorsi flap is a workhorse for reconstruction. However, flap harvest has been variably reported to result in donor-site morbidity. The aim of this study was to compare donor-site morbidity following harvest of a split latissimus dorsi flap, preserving the anterior branch of the thoracodorsal nerve, and a traditional nerve-sacrificing full latissimus dorsi flap. METHODS: Patients who underwent split or full latissimus dorsi flaps between July of 2017 and August of 2020 at a single center were recalled for assessment. Donor-site morbidity in the shoulder was evaluated through the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire; the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index; and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons questionnaire. Medical Research Council strength grading was also performed. RESULTS: A total of 22 patients in the split latissimus dorsi cohort and 22 patients in the full latissimus dorsi cohort were recalled. Patient-reported outcomes as assessed through the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire; Shoulder Pain and Disability Index; and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons questionnaire scores revealed statistically greater (p < 0.05) donor-site morbidity associated with the traditional compared to split latissimus dorsi flap. Seven patients in the full latissimus dorsi cohort had less than Medical Research Council grade 5 power at the shoulder, whereas all patients in the split latissimus dorsi cohort demonstrated full power at the shoulder. CONCLUSIONS: Traditional full latissimus dorsi flaps were found to result in greater donor-site morbidity compared to thoracodorsal nerve-preserving split latissimus dorsi flaps. Split latissimus dorsi flaps may be beneficial in preserving donor-site function and strength. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, III.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We report our findings from an anatomical study on harvest of a vascularized scapular bone graft from a supine position. A clinical case is presented to illustrate the operative approach. METHODS: Twenty cadaveric hemibody specimens were dissected in the supine position. Outcomes of interest included the characterization of anatomical variants and measurements of pedicle length. Specific measurements included distance from the origin of the subscapular artery (at the axillary artery) to the branch point of the angular artery from the thoracodorsal artery or serratus branch and the length of the angular branch proper. RESULTS: There are five reported anatomic variations regarding the origin of the angular branch of the thoracodorsal artery. In our cadaveric cohort only four known types were seen, and an entirely new variant was encountered. Six cadaveric dissections exhibited a type 3 configuration, six were type 1, four were type 2, three were type 4, and one was a previously unreported variant we termed a type 6, with multiple angular artery branches originating from the posterior branch of the thoracodorsal. The mean distance between the origin of the subscapular artery and the takeoff of the angular branch was 6.3 ± 2.0 cm. The mean length of the angular branch was 3.7 ± 1.4 cm. CONCLUSIONS: Supine positioning for harvest of a vascularized bone graft obviates the need for an intraoperative position change and allows reconstruction of bone defects in the hand and upper extremity within a single surgical field.
