By Zachary Whipple Capstone Project Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Physician Assistant Education of the University of the Pacific in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT STUDIES April 2020 Introduction End-stage ankle arthritis is a debilitating degenerative disease commonly located at the tibiotalar joint. The prevalence of symptomatic arthritis is about nine times lower than the rates associated with those of the knee or hip.1 Though less common than knee and hip arthritis, the US estimates greater than 50,000 new cases are reported each year.2 The most common etiology of ankle arthritis is post-traumatic pathology. -
Free Vascularized Fibula Graft with Femoral Allograft Sleeve for Lumbar Spine Defects After Spondylectomy of Malignant Tumors Acasereport
1 COPYRIGHT Ó 2020 BY THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY,INCORPORATED Free Vascularized Fibula Graft with Femoral Allograft Sleeve for Lumbar Spine Defects After Spondylectomy of Malignant Tumors ACaseReport Michiel E.R. Bongers, MD, John H. Shin, MD, Sunita D. Srivastava, MD, Christopher R. Morse, MD, Sang-Gil Lee, MD, and Joseph H. Schwab, MD, MS Investigation performed at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts Abstract Case: We present a 65-year-old man with an L4 conventional chordoma. Total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) of the involved vertebral bodies and surrounding soft tissues with reconstruction of the spine using a free vascularized fibula autograft (FVFG) is a proven technique, limiting complications and recurrence. However, graft fracture has occurred only in the lumbar spine in our institutional cases. We used a technique in our patient to ensure extra stability and support, with the addition of a femoral allograft sleeve encasing the FVFG. Conclusions: Our technique for the reconstruction of the lumbar spine after TES of primary malignant spinal disease using a femoral allograft sleeve encasing the FVFG is viable to consider. he treatment of primary malignant neoplasms of the spine mended a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but the request currently mainly relies on surgery, often in conjunction with was denied by the insurance company, and the patient T 1-3 radiotherapy .Totalen bloc spondylectomy (TES) is a widely underwent a course of physical therapy with no benefitand accepted surgical technique and has lower reported recurrence rates progression of back pain and radiculopathy.

Differences Between Subtotal Corpectomy and Laminoplasty for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy

Study Design: A retrospective analysis of two interventional case series. Setting: Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kagawa University, Japan. Methods: Subjects comprised 34 patients who underwent SC and 49 patients who underwent LP. SC was performed by high-speed drilling to remove vertebral bodies. Autologous strut bone grafting was used. LP was performed as an expansive open-door LP. The level of decompression was from C3 to C7. Clinical evaluations included recovery rate (RR), frequency of C5 root palsy after surgery, re-operation and axial pain. Radiographic assessments included sagittal cervical alignment and bone union. Results: Comparisons between the two groups showed no significant differences in age at surgery, preoperative factors, RR and frequency of C5 palsy. Progression of kyphotic changes, operation time and volumes of blood loss and blood transfusion were significantly greater in the SC (two- or three- level) group. Six patients in the SC group required additional surgery because of pseudoarthrosis, and four patients underwent re-operation because of adjacent level disc degeneration. -
Common Stress Fractures BRENT W
COVER ARTICLE PRACTICAL THERAPEUTICS Common Stress Fractures BRENT W. SANDERLIN, LCDR, MC, USNR, Naval Branch Medical Clinic, Fort Worth, Texas ROBERT F. RASPA, CAPT, MC, USN, Naval Hospital Jacksonville, Jacksonville, Florida Lower extremity stress fractures are common injuries most often associated with partic- ipation in sports involving running, jumping, or repetitive stress. The initial diagnosis can be made by identifying localized bone pain that increases with weight bearing or repet- itive use. Plain film radiographs are frequently unrevealing. Confirmation of a stress frac- ture is best made using triple phase nuclear medicine bone scan or magnetic resonance imaging. Prevention of stress fractures is most effectively accomplished by increasing the level of exercise slowly, adequately warming up and stretching before exercise, and using cushioned insoles and appropriate footwear. Treatment involves rest of the injured bone, followed by a gradual return to the sport once free of pain. Recent evidence sup- ports the use of air splinting to reduce pain and decrease the time until return to full par- ticipation or intensity of exercise. (Am Fam Physician 2003;68:1527-32.

Procedure Coding in ICD-9-CM and ICD- 10-PCS
Procedure Coding in ICD-9-CM and ICD- 10-PCS ICD-9-CM Volume 3 Procedures are classified in volume 3 of ICD-9-CM, and this section includes both an Alphabetic Index and a Tabular List. This volume follows the same format, organization and conventions as the classification of diseases in volumes 1 and 2. ICD-10-PCS ICD-10-PCS will replace volume 3 of ICD-9-CM. Unlike ICD-10-CM for diagnoses, which is similar in structure and format as the ICD-9-CM volumes 1 and 2, ICD-10-PCS is a completely different system. ICD-10-PCS has a multiaxial seven-character alphanumeric code structure providing unique codes for procedures. The table below gives a brief side-by-side comparison of ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS. ICD-9-CM Volume3 ICD-10-PCS Follows ICD structure (designed for diagnosis Designed and developed to meet healthcare coding) needs for a procedure code system Codes available as a fixed or finite set in list form Codes constructed from flexible code components (values) using tables Codes are numeric Codes are alphanumeric Codes are 3-4 digits long All codes are seven characters long ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS are used to code only hospital inpatient procedures. Hospital outpatient departments, other ambulatory facilities, and physician practices are required to use CPT and HCPCS to report procedures. ICD-9-CM Conventions in Volume 3 Code Also In volume 3, the phrase “code also” is a reminder to code additional procedures only when they have actually been performed. -

Surgical procedures for fi rst metarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) In contrast to the Myerson study, Mankovecky et al arthritis have been well outlined in podiatric literature. (2) suggested a much lower rate of nonunion with the use The fi rst MPJ fusion is a procedure that is commonly autogenous bone graft. In 2013, they reported a review of 6 used for initial treatment of this condition or subsequent studies, which reported a total of 42 procedures of fi rst MPJ treatment, after another surgical procedure has failed. A arthrodesis with autogenous graft as a salvage procedure for failed arthroplasty may result in an excessively shortened a failed Keller arthroplasty. Out of the 42 cases, there were fi rst metatarsal or an overly resected proximal phalanx, 2 reported nonunions for a nonunion rate of 4.8%, which which may necessitate the use of an interpositional bone- is signifi cantly less than the rate reported by Myerson.
