Abstract No.: 39065 DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF AVASCULAR NECROSIS OF THE FEMORAL HEAD IN CHILDREN WITH EPIPHYSES DYSPLASIA Kamola VALIEVA, Achrarbek Djuraev, Guzala Kasimova, Khayrulla Rakhmatullaev, Ruziev Norpulat, Rakhimjon Djabborov, Gulrukh Umarova Objective of research: To improve the diagnosis and effective treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in children with epiphyses dysplasia. Materials and Methods: 46 patients were examined with epiphyses dysplasia from 2 to 15 years. The criteria for a diagnosis of epiphyses dysplasia is a violation of enchondral ossification of two or more pairs of epiphysis and the absence of signs suggesting other types of nosology. Criteria for the identification of avascular necrosis of the femoral head on the background of the epiphyseal dysplasia is the determination to review radiographs of typical signs of the hip joints of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (condensation, subchondral line of enlightenment, followed by fragmentation of the pineal gland) on the one hand on the background of bilateral dysplastic or structural changes in femoral head. Clinical manifestations of avascular necrosis of the femoral head on the background of the epiphyseal dysplasia were similar to symptoms of typical Perthes' disease. It was required for all the children to maintain with orthopedic regime, including a moderate limitation of motor activity of the child, limitation of weight load on the hip and knee joints with therapeutic measures directing to the improving the microcirculation and metabolism of cartilage. Results: 21 patients from 46 (45.6%) during the epiphyses dysplasia were complicated by progress of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Conclusions: Thus, multiple epiphyses dysplasia is often complicated by avascular necrosis of the femoral head (often double-sided) and requires prompt treatment. Abstract No.: 39076 FALSE POSITIVE OR EQUIVOCAL SCAN RESULTS IN EARLY ULTRASOUND SCREENING FOR DDH Breanna Winger, Nicholas Green, Philip Henman Ultrasound screening for DDH in ‘at risk’ groups is a national programme. In our unit babies are scanned at the next available appointment, which has led to a large range of ages at time of scan. The NIPE guidelines for screening advises scanning at 6-8 weeks for at risk with the age reduced to 2 weeks in babies with any abnormal post natal hip examination findings. It is suggested that a high proportion of very young babies will need a second scan as their hips appear immature at the time of initial scanning. We identified all babies scanned for DDH over 2 years (2012-2013, n=777). Of these, 48 babies required treatment for DDH (eg harness) and 64 (8.2%) were rescanned following an equivocal first ultrasound. Of these 6 were treated. 257 babies were under the age of 4 weeks at the time of their first scan. Of these babies 48 (18.7%) were referred for a further scan compared to 22 (4.2%) of those over 4 weeks(n=520). Of the babies who were rescanned 23 of 64 (35.9%) had a normal alpha angle at the time of initial scan. Babies are perhaps scanned too early leading to false positive or equivocal scans. Delaying ultrasound screening (with the exception of babies with abnormal examination) until 4 weeks may save resources and parental concern. Babies with normal alpha angles at the time of the first scan could be discharged regardless of immaturity however, this is contentious as there are rarely missed diagnoses. Abstract No.: 39078 PRIMARY TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY WITH A NEW FEMORAL SHORT STEM Jaime Morales, Carolina Lopez, Cristian Gordo INTRODUCTION: Conservative stems retain a larger amount of bone and biomechanical effect due to Their, They allow higher compression forces on the lateral column of the femur and reduce stress shielding. They retain Since metaphyseal bone, short stems allow the use of conventional stems Becomes Necessary When Revision surgery. To show the early results of the study on the conservative stem GTS-Biomet. MATERIAL: The 81 cases in 80 patients Comprised 55 men and 25 women (1 in Both hips) with a mean age of 64.85 years (range 43- 78) at time of surgery. Mean follow-up was 16 months (range 6-24 month). METHODS: The clinical results of 81 arthroplasties Performed Were Assessed by one surgeon using the Merle D'Aubigné scale; a radiologic assessment was made and the findings and Complications Were described. RESULTS: We had one calcar fracture, Which required a fixation with a screw. No cases of clinical or radiologic loosening Were Reported. CONCLUSIONS: Conservative hip arthroplasty With The GTS-Biomet stem has proven to be an excellent medium for femoral hip replacement, with expectations That It May Exceed the durability of other types of implants without harming the femoral diaphysis. This May Facilitate stem Abstract No.: 39081 3D PRINTING IN HIP REPLACEMENTUSE OF 3D PRINTED POST IN PLANNING COMPLEX ARTHROPLASTY Vaibhav Bagaria, Amit Nemade, Sameer Raghatate, Shalini Jain, Shirish Deshpande Three Dimensional printing is transforming the way we used to plan complex hip replacement in past. The technology called as additive manufacturing or layered manufacturing involves creating a physical model from the axial cuts derived from the CT scan of the patients. Having a model ensures that the surgeon can plan their surgery on a physical structure, do a thoughtful inventory planning, perform surgical simulation and also use the same as an intraoperative reference. The group of technologies were called as 3D Patient Optimised Surgical Tools (3D POST) and were used in 15 cases of difficult primary hip. The surgeons who used them were asked to fill in a questionnaire evaluating their experience with the technology and if it made a difference to the surgical procedure. The results were analysed to rate the technology. Most surgeons believe that the technology altered their surgical planning, helped reduce intraopertaive time and errors and overall did improve the patient outcome. 3D Printing technology derived patient optimised surgical tools ( 3D POST) are likely to have a major impact in surgical practice in coming days. It is likely to become a standard part of pre operative planning. Patient customised jigs and implants would be universally available and used of for the benefits of the patient. Abstract No.: 39083 MANAGEMENT OF TYPE III AND TYPE V ACROMIO-CLAVICULAR JOINT DISRUPTIONS: LESSONS WE LEARNT FROM OUR EXPERIENCE OF 17 CASES Aditya Krishna Mootha, Raghuveer Chander Alluri Introduction: Acromioclavicular joint (A-C Joint) dislocation is a common injury, which accounts for about 9% of all shoulder injuries. Spectrum of management options for type III and V injuries vary depending upon the presentation. Here we present a prospective series of 17 cases of type III or V A- C joint injuries surgically treated at our center. Material and Methods: All cases of type III or V A-C joint injuries surgically managed at our centre from 2011 June to 2014 January are prospectively included in the present series. The treatment methods included K-wire fixation, Coraco clavicular screw fixation, dynamic coraco-clavicular stabilisation with Ethibond or coraco-clavicular ligament reconstruction with semitendinosus auto graft in chronic neglected cases. Results: Out of 17 cases 8 cases are acute injuries while 9 cases are chronic injuries. 2 of the acute are operated by k wires alone. Coraco clavicular screw fixation is done in 4 acute cases and 2 chronic cases. In 1 acute case and 3 chronic cases dynamic coraco-clavicular stabilisation with Ethibond is done. In 6 chronic cases coraco-clavicular ligament reconstruction with semitendinosus auto graft is done. In 6 of the 9 chronic cases excision of lateral end of clavicle is also performed. Complications included pin tract infection in 1 case, screw back out in 2 cases. Mild subluxation of the joint persisted in 4 cases. Conclusion: Dynamic fixation of the A-C joint has far better results in comparison to rigid fixation and in neglected cases biological augmentation is strongly recommended with hamstrings auto graft.

  • Ottawa Knee Rule: Investigating Use and Application in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital
    Open Access Original Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.8812 Ottawa Knee Rule: Investigating Use and Application in a Tertiary Teaching Hospital Abubakr Mohamed 1 , Elkhidir Babikir 1 , Mohamed Kamal Elbashir Mustafa 2 1. Emergency Medicine, University Hospital Galway, Galway, IRL 2. Vascular Surgery, University Hospital Galway, Galway, IRL Corresponding author: Abubakr Mohamed, [email protected] Abstract Background Knee injuries are encountered commonly in the emergency departments (EDs) in Ireland. Validated clinical decision rules such as Ottawa knee rule (OKR) can be used in acute knee injury settings to reduce the number of unnecessary radiography. Clinical judgment can be used to distinguish between suspected fractures and non-fractures in many cases; however, radiography is still routinely requested. Objectives We evaluated the OKRs in a high-volume tertiary teaching hospital in Ireland to determine whether the rule could be safely used to decide whether patients with acute blunt knee trauma should undergo radiography. Methods This was an observational study conducted in the ED over a three-month period in a tertiary referral hospital. A total of 110 patients with acute knee injuries were examined using OKR. Inclusion criteria included patients with acute knee injuries due to blunt trauma or twisting injury and patients with lacerations or contusions. Open fractures and fractures due to penetrating injury were excluded from the study. Results Fractures were seen in 12 (13.2%) of the 110 patents who met the inclusion criteria. The OKR predicted all 12 fractures. Sensitivity was 100%, and specificity was 39%. Conclusions Received 06/04/2020 Review began 06/18/2020 The OKR is highly sensitive for fracture in this setting and can be safely used to decide whether Review ended 06/21/2020 patients with acute blunt knee trauma should undergo radiography.

  • Tension Band Wiring Is As Effective As a Compression Screw in a Neglected, Medial Maleolus Non-Union
    Case Report Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports 2017 Jul-Aug: 7(4):Page 72-75 Tension Band Wiring Is As Effective As A Compression Screw In A Neglected, Medial Maleolus Non-Union: A Case-Based Discussion & Literature Review Rakesh John¹, Mandeep Singh Dhillon¹, Ankit Khurana², Sameer Aggarwal¹, Prasoon Kumar¹ Learning Points for this Article: Compression screw fixation has been the workhorse implant for medial malleolar nonunions; however, tension band wiring may be a better technique for such nonunions, as seen in this rare case of isolated, medial malleolus gap nonunion. Abstract Introduction: Isolated, neglected medial malleolus nonunion cases are a rare entity in orthopedic literature. All studies (except one) have described the use of compression screws (with or without plates) for medial malleolar nonunion management. In acute fractures, tension band wiring (TBW) has shown excellent results both in biomechanical and in clinical studies. On the contrary, it has seldom been used in nonunion or in neglected cases. Case Report: We describe a 6-month-old neglected medial malleolus gap nonunion case who presented with progressive pain and limp. TBW with a monoblock, inlay, tricortical, and iliac crest bone graft for the defect was performed. The fracture united within 12 weeks and patient went back to his normal work routine; on the latest follow-up at 3 years, the patient was asymptomatic with no clinicoradiologic signs of secondary osteoarthritis of the ankle joint. Conclusion: TBW may be better than screw fixation in the management of medial malleolus nonunion as it is technically straightforward and cost-effective, can provide equal or more compression than a screw; it does not damage the sandwiched inlay bone graft, and the amount of compression is surgeon-controlled.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Tension band wiring with cerclage wiring is most widely used for treating displaced patellar fractures. Although wire breakage is not uncommon, migration of a fragment of the broken wire is rare, especially migration into the knee joint. We describe here a rare case of migration of a wire fragment into the posterior septum of the knee joint after fixation of a displaced patellar fracture with tension band wiring and cerclage wiring. Although it was difficult to determine whether the wire fragment was located within or outside the knee joint from the preoperative plain radiographs or three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT), we found it arthroscopically through the posterior transseptal portal with assistance of intraoperative fluoroscopy. Surgeons who treat such cases should bear in mind the possibility that wire could be embedded in the posterior septum of the knee joint.
