RESUMO

The presence of particles fixed in tissue samples due to implant degradation or disintegration plays an important role in post-operative complications. The ability to determine the size, shape, chemical composition and, above all, the number of these particles can be used in many areas of medicine. This study presents a novel, simple metal-based particle detection method using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS). The presence of metal particles in biopsy specimens from long bone nail-fixated implants (10 patients with titanium steel nails and 10 patients with stainless steel nails) was studied. The samples were analysed using automated area analysis based on image binarization and brightness to 255 grayscale. The results were supplemented with histological data and statistically analysed. The method based on the software used was found to be accurate and easy to use and, thus, appears to be very suitable for particle detection in similar samples.

RESUMO

Fractured bones can regenerate and restore their biological and mechanical properties to the state prior to the damage. In some cases, however, the treatment of fractures requires the use of supportive implants. For bone healing, three processes are essential: the inflammatory phase, the repair phase and the remodelling phase. A proper course of the first - inflammatory - stage is important to ensure a successful fracture healing process. In our study, we evaluated tissue samples immunohistochemically from the area surrounding the fractures of upper and lower limbs (bone tissue, soft tissue, and the implant-adhering tissue) for markers: CD11b, CD15, CD34, CD44, CD68, Cathepsin K, and TRAcP that are linked to the aforementioned phases. In soft tissue, higher expressions of CD68, CD34, CD15 and CD11b markers were observed than in other locations. TRAcP and Cathepsin K markers were more expressed in the bone tissue, while pigmentation, necrosis and calcification were more observed in the implant-adhering tissue. Since even the implant materials commonly perceived as inert elicit the observed inflammatory responses, new surface treatments and materials need to be developed.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Treatment of pelvic fractures is often complicated. Here, we intended to evaluate the intraoperative benefits of using 2D computer navigation when compared with traditional fluoroscopy on X-ray burden, surgical time and screw placement accuracy. METHODS: In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the records of 25 patients who underwent osteosynthesis of a posterior pelvic fracture using fluoroscopy at the University Hospital Ostrava, Czech Republic between 2011 and 2019, and 32 patients from the same department and period in whom 2D computer navigation was used. RESULTS: Intraoperative X-ray burden was significantly lower in the group with 2D computer navigation (median 650 vs 1024 cGy/cm2), as was the duration of the surgery (41 vs 45 min). This was most obvious where two screws were inserted (X-ray dose of 994 vs 1847 cGy/cm2 and 48 vs 70 min, respectively). Correction of the path for wire placement after the original drilling was necessary in 2 patients (6%) from the 2D computer navigation group and 15 patients from the fluoroscopy group (60%). Still, no malposition of the screws nor dislocation of the posterior pelvic segment after 12 months was observed in any patient of either group; of complications, only three superficial infections in the 2D navigation group and 2 in the fluoroscopy group were observed. CONCLUSION: 2D computer navigation is a safe and accurate method for placement of screws during posterior pelvic fracture osteosynthesis, associated with lower intraoperative radiation burden and shorter surgical times compared to standard fluoroscopy, especially if two screws are inserted.

RESUMO

Data on the effectiveness of arthroscopic arthrolysis and extraction of osteosynthetic material after osteosynthesis of the proximal humerus in patients with persisting problems are rare and insufficient. In this study, we performed arthroscopic arthrolysis and extraction of fixation screws, and, where protruding, extraction of the nail in 34 patients with problems persisting 12 months after osteosynthesis of the proximal humerus using an intramedullary nail. The effectiveness of the treatment was assessed using the Constant-Murley shoulder score and forward flexion difference between the treated arm and the contralateral one. A median increase of 16 points in CMS score and 30 degrees reduction in the arm forward flexion difference was recorded 12 months after the arthroscopy. The improvement was significantly higher in the patient group with intramedullary nail extraction (however, this group had worse pre-operative values and the screw was only extracted where likely to cause problems). The median time to heal was 11 weeks; no serious peri- or post-procedural complications occurred. Mini-invasive arthroscopic arthrolysis combined with extraction of osteosynthetic material proved to be a safe and effective method for treatment of patients after osteosynthesis of the proximal humerus using an intramedullary nail with persisting pain and/or mobility limitation.
