Closing lateral wedge valgus osteotomy with dynamic hip screw for the treatment of varus nonunion of pertrochanteric fracture: can restoration of biomechanics and stabilization alone heal?
Wed, 24 Dec 2008 08:51:26 -0000
Abstract Introduction  Nonunion of pertrochanteric fracture is rare and its occurrence especially without prior surgical intervention has been hardly ever reported. Hence there is not much literature describing the best way to treat them. Nonunion of pertrochanteric fracture collapses in to varus by virtue of deforming action of muscles and thus deranging the biomechanics of the hip and indirectly preventing fracture union further. Hence it is very important to re-orient the abductor lever arm to biomechanically advantageous normal configuration favoring fracture healing. In general, principles of treatment of nonunion like open reduction of the fracture with freshening of fracture fragments, stabilization and bone grafting are very difficult to the surgeon and the patient. Method  We herewith describe for the first time in literature a prospective nonrandomized study of closing lateral wedge valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy in addition to dynamic hip screw osteosynthesis in the successful management of seven patients with varus trochanteric nonunion. Average operating time was 63 Â± 13 min (range 39–93 min) and blood loss was 212 Â± 32 ml (range 156–320 ml). Average pre-operative coxa vara of 94° Â± 7° (range 85°–104°) had improved to a femoral neck shaft angle of 139° Â± 4° (range 134°–145°) on postoperative radiographs. Results  All fractures and osteotomies had healed uneventfully at the last follow-up with good functional outcome. Harris Hip score had improved from 34 Â± 6 (range 22–47) to 89 Â± 4 (range 83–95) at an average of 11 months (range 7–13 months) follow-up. Valgus osteotomy converts shear forces across the fracture site into compressive forces thus achieving union.

The role of physiotherapy in the treatment of whiplash associated disorders: a prospective study
Wed, 24 Dec 2008 08:51:25 -0000
Abstract Objectives  Prospective longitudinal study to evaluate the effect of physiotherapy on whiplash associated disorders (WAD). Materials and methods  A total of 141 patients suffering from grades I–III WAD after a road traffic accident were employed. Validated neck Bournemouth Questionnaire was used in order to look at the effect of treatment on the symptoms. Results  The mean age was 40 (±14) years. The mean length of the treatment was 6 (±3.4) weeks. The mean individual effect size was 0.97 (95% CI 0.8–1.2). A total of 67% of the patients who started their treatment in the first 3 months post-injury improved compared to 48% in those who started physiotherapy after 3 months (P = 0.025). In both groups the applied treatment almost halved the number of patients taken sick leave. Conclusion  Physiotherapy is effective in the treatment of whiplash injury, especially in order to get the patients fit to go back to their previous employment.

Surgeon’s expectations do not predict the outcome of a total knee arthroplasty
Sun, 21 Dec 2008 08:18:05 -0000
Abstract Introduction  It is fascinating for both the patient and the surgeon to predict the outcome of a TKA at an early stage. Satisfaction after TKA is primarily determined by the preoperative expectations of the patient. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the peri-operative expectations of the surgeon predicted the outcome of a TKA. Patients and methods  A prospective study of 53 primary TKAs was performed. Preoperatively, the surgeon described the assessment of the difficulty of the TKA on a VAS. Immediately postoperative, the surgeon gave his satisfaction VAS about the procedure. After 1 year the surgeon’s satisfaction VAS, the patient’s satisfaction VAS and the KSCRS were determined. Results  The Spearman’s correlation coefficients between the preoperative difficulty assessment, the immediate postoperative satisfaction and the outcome measurements after 1 year were all very poor (−0.01 to 0.23). Conclusions  The outcome of a TKA depends on multiple factors. Both the surgeon’s preoperative assessment of the difficulty and the surgeon’s immediate postoperative satisfaction do not independently predict the outcome of a TKA.

Correction of severe wrist deformity following physeal arrest of the distal radius with the aid of a three-dimensional computer simulation
Fri, 19 Dec 2008 08:15:01 -0000
Abstract  Growth arrest following physeal injury may result in severe limb deformity. We report a case of complex wrist deformity caused by injury to the distal radial physis resulting in radial shortening and abnormal inclination of the radial articular surface, which was successfully treated by gradual correction after computer simulation. The simulation enabled us to develop an appropriate operative plan by accurately calculating the axis of the three-dimensional (3D) deformity using computer bone models. In the simulative surgery with a full-size stereolithography bone model, an Ilizarov external fixator was applied to the radius such that its two hinges were located on the virtual axis of the deformity, which was reproduced in the actual surgery. This technique of 3D computer simulation is a useful alternative to plan accurate correction of complex limb deformities following growth arrest.

Snapping elbow caused by hypertrophic synovial plica in the radiohumeral joint: a report of three cases and review of literature
Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:54:59 -0000
Abstract  The snapping elbow caused by hypertrophic synovial radiohumeral plica is a rare form of lateral elbow impingement. In this article we report on hypertrophic radiohumeral synovial folds in three male patients, aged 54, 65 and 27 years. All three patients suffered isolated lateral elbow pain, painful snapping and unsuccessful conservative treatment over at least 5 months (range 5–9 months, mean 7.7 months) prior to surgical treatment. None of the patients had lateral epicondylitis, instability, osteochondrosis dissecans, loose bodies, arthritis or neurological disorders. Upon clinical examination the range of motion in the respective painful elbows was found to be normal in all three cases, but a painful snapping occurred between 80° and 100° of flexion with the forearm in pronation. While there were no pathologic findings in standard radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed hypertrophic synovial plicae in the radiohumeral joints associated with effusion in each of the diseased elbows. Arthroscopic examinations confirmed the presence of a hypertrophic synovial plica in all three radiocapitellar joints, and revealed a transient interposition and compression of the folds in the articulation from extension until 90°–100° elbow flexion, with replacement beyond 90° elbow flexion with a visible jump. Surgical management in all three cases comprised arthroscopic diagnosis confirmation and removal of the synovial plicae, leading to excellent outcomes at 6–12 months follow-up.

Malignant Natural-Killer cell neoplasm presenting as a mucous cyst on the distal interphalangeal joint of the finger
Tue, 16 Dec 2008 07:56:37 -0000
Abstract  This case report describes a very rare and highly malignant type of lymphoma, which presents as a mucous cyst on the finger. The cyst was excised and the specimen pathohistologically analyzed. The analysis revealed the presence of a Natural-Killer cell neoplasm. This case illustrates and stresses the importance of a pathohistological examination when doubts arise about the initial diagnosis of a benign tumorous lesion.
