RESUMO

OBJECTIVE OF SURGERY: The goal of surgery is the anatomical reduction and stable internal fixation of an epiphysiolysis of the medial clavicle with posterior luxation in a child without harming intrathoracic structures. INDICATIONS: This case describes an acute epiphysiolysis of the medial clavicle Aitken type 0 with posterior dislocation. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Soft tissue infections within the region of the surgical access. Allergies against any materials used in the procedure. Successful closed reduction. Additional fracture of the clavicular shaft. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: A detailed overview of the surgical technique is available through the video, which is accessible online as well as the graphic overview in this article. Longitudinal incision over the medial clavicle up to the sternoclavicular joint and preparation onto the bony structures. Display of the epiphysiolysis. Reduction of the medial clavicle. Introduction of two Kirscher wires along the longitudinal axis in the direction of the epiphysis and introduction of two sutures. Puncture of the cartilaginous epiphysis with the two sutures. Anatomical reduction of the medial clavicle and fixation by knots. With the continuous use of the sutures, fixation to the anterior periosteum and closure of the periosteum. Wound closure. FOLLOW-UP: For 6 weeks postoperative limitation of anteversion and abduction to 90°, afterwards unlimited functionality. No routine X­ray control. RESULT: After 6 months postoperative the patient is free of pain and has full range of motion. The Constant score is 97/100.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to compare the 2 manual catching methods in terms of injuries and behavior. Throughout 12 loadings on practical farms with the same standard, 1 container each was caught using the one-legged (1LCM) and 1 using the two-legged catching method (2LCM). The animals were filmed during loading to evaluate their behavior and subsequently examined regarding injuries. Wing flapping was observed more frequently in broilers caught with the 1LCM than 2 LCM. Carrying animals with neighbors (1 neighbor: P < 0.001; 2 neighbors: P < 0.001) and a grasping position at or above the tarsal joint (P < 0.001; P < 0.054) reduced wing flapping in both methods. A short grasping duration (P = 0.004), settling the broilers into the crate (P = 0.005) and avoiding striking the broilers against the crate (P < 0.001) reduced the occurrence of wing flapping. About 1.1% of 1LCM and 0.43% of 2LCM broilers were diagnosed with an epiphysiolysis. Catching with the 1LCM (P = 0.042), loading in lower crates (low vs. middle: P = 0.005; low vs. high: P = 0.008), a longer catching duration (p = 0.025) and female broilers (P = 0.007) had a higher chance for epiphysiolysis. Broilers loaded in lower crates (P = 0.007) and ones which showed more wing flapping (P = 0.015) had a higher chance for hematomas. A higher loading duration led to a higher risk of hematomas (prevalence: 1.5%) and a prevalence of 1.0% of broilers with severe injury in 2LCM in a simultaneously performed study (mechanical loading vs. 2LCM), in which manual loadings of entire barns were evaluated. This may be caused by fatigue of the workers. In summary, the catching method or number of grasped legs is not the decisive factor, but the compliance and implementation of the identified risks and careful handling of the animals are determining factors to reduce wing injuries caused by loading and wing flapping.

RESUMO

We present a patient with congenital myopathy and an inborn epiphysiolysis of the ulna. Whole-exome sequencing analysis revealed two novel mutations in Activation Signal Cointegrator Complex 1 (ASCC1) gene in a compound heterozygous state-a splicing variant c.395-2A>G and a deletion of the first two coding exons. Homozygous and compound heterozygous LoF variants in ASCC1 gene lead to a severe phenotype of spinal muscular atrophy with congenital bone fractures 2 (SMABF2). All patients described to date presented with a severe muscular hypotony, inborn fractures, and passed away shortly after birth while our proband had moderate hypotony, no fractures, but epiphysiolysis and he was 3.5 years old at the time of examination. To explain the phenotype of our patient, we performed an RNA analysis of all family members. We discovered that the c.395-2A>G variant results in two aberrant mRNA isoforms. We also validated the deletion of two exons in ASCC1 gene that lead to the increased expression of this truncated transcript by 1.8 times. To investigate the possible impact of this deletion on the phenotype we predicted a new Kozak sequence in exon 4 that could lead to the formation of a truncated protein with shortened KH domain and a full RNA ligase-like domain. We suggest that this unexpectedly different phenotype of the proband with ASCC1-related disorder could be explained by the presence of the truncated protein with an increased expression.

RESUMO

Fracture separation of the epiphysis from the distal femur is a elatively rare lesion in newborns, but it has been documented as a difficult complication of labor. Most of the cases occur at the distal humeral level and exceptionally affect the femur. Epiphysiolysis of the distal femur is practically not described. They are normally located in the upper third of the femur due to a twisting movement of the femur in breech deliveries and even in difficult caesarean sections. The differential diagnosis at the beginning of the examination is usually with septic arthritis of the newborn. This difficult and infrequent diagnosis arises from a 3-day-old baby who presents for his post-discharge check-up with swelling in one of his knees.


La separación por fractura de la epífisis del fémur distal es una lesión relativamente poco frecuente en los recién nacidos, pero se ha documentado como una complicación del parto distócico. La mayoría de los casos ocurren a nivel distal del húmero y, de manera excepcional, afectan al fémur. La epifisiolisis distal del fémur casi no está descrita en la literatura. Se localizan normalmente en el tercio superior del fémur por un movimiento de torsión de este en los partos en posición podálica e incluso en cesáreas distócicas. El diagnóstico diferencial al inicio de la exploración suele ser con artritis séptica del recién nacido. A partir de un paciente de 3 días de vida que se presenta a su control posterior al alta con tumefacción en una de sus rodillas, se plantea este difícil e infrecuente diagnóstico.

RESUMO

The most common treatment for slipped capital femoral epiphysis worldwide is in situ fixation with a threaded screw. Un-threaded screws are designed to prevent slip progression without hindering residual growth of the proximal femur. This study aimed to compare growth, remodelling and long-term outcomes after fixation with un-threaded screws and a matched cohort of patients treated with a standard screw. Six patients (nine hips) treated with un-threaded screws and 16 patients (21 hips) treated with standard screws matched for age, skeletal maturity, sex and Southwick angle were recruited. Clinical records were reviewed for patient demographics, medical history and complications. Radiographs were reviewed for residual growth and time to physeal closure. Growth velocity was calculated. Absence of cam deformity signified complete remodelling. Clinical assessment was graded from excellent to poor and patient-reported outcomes were recorded. There was significantly more growth recorded in the un-threaded screw group in femoral neck length (7.6 mm, P = 0.003), articulo-lesser trochanter distance (5.3 mm, P = 0.028), pin-joint ratio (7.439%, P = 0.006) and pin-physis ratio (8.244%, P = 0.001). The probability of revision operations due to ongoing growth was higher in this group (risk ratio: 6.57, P = 0.0008). Time to physeal closure was not significantly different, but growth velocity was significantly higher in the un-threaded group. The lower probability of cam deformity was not significant. Functional and clinical results were not significantly different at average 11.2 years' follow-up. Un-threaded screws allow for significantly more growth than standard threaded screws. The un-threaded screw could not be recommended due to the higher re-operation rates, without any proven benefit.

RESUMO

The use of reference genes is required for relative quantification in gene expression analysis and the stability of these genes can be variable depending on the experimental design. Therefore, it is indispensable to test the reliability of endogenous genes previously to their use. This study evaluated nine candidate reference genes to select the most stable genes to be used as reference in gene expression studies with the femoral cartilage of normal and epiphysiolysis-affected broilers. The femur articular cartilage of 29 male broilers with 35 days of age was collected, frozen and further submitted to RNA extraction and quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis. The candidate reference genes evaluated were GAPDH, HMBS, HPRT1, MRPS27, MRPS30, RPL30, RPL4, RPL5, and RPLP1. For the gene stability evaluation, three software were used: GeNorm, BestKeeper and NormFinder, and a global ranking was generated using the function RankAggreg. In this study, the RPLP1 and RPL5 were the most reliable endogenous genes being recommended for expression studies with femur cartilage in broilers with epiphysiolysis and possible other femur anomalies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Distal tibial epiphyseal fractures damage to epiphyseal growth plate. Epiphyseal growth arrest (EGA), reflex sympathetic dystrophy and ankle joint stiffness may also occur after distal tibial epiphyseal injury. This study aims to evaluate the role of trauma mechanism, fracture pattern and fixation technique on clinical outcomes and EGA in the surgically treated distal tibial epiphyseal fractures. METHODS: Twenty seven patients who underwent surgery for distal tibial epiphyseal fracture between the 2011 and 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. The effects of trauma mechanism, fixation technique, preoperative duration, fracture patterns on the clinical results and EGA were examined. AOFAS (The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score) and MOXFQ (The Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionaire) were used for clinical evaluation. RESULTS: Twenty seven patients (17 male and 10 female) were included in this study. The most important complication of epiphyseal injury was the growth pause in eight patients. No statistically significant difference was observed concerning clinical scores and complications according to trauma mechanism, fixation techniques and fracture patterns (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Regardless of the trauma mechanism, fracture pattern and the fixation material, an anatomical reduction should be obtained in distal tibial epiphyseal fractures to reduce complications and prevent the EGA.

RESUMO

The therapeutic approach for the treatment of children with radiologically "normal" hip presenting with epiphysiolysis of the contralateral upper femur is controversial. We here report the case of a 12-year-old boy with osteonecrosis of radiologically "normal" and asymptomatic left femoral head prophylactically fixed due to acute femoral epiphysiolysis of the contralateral hip. Eight months after first surgery, the patient developed symptoms of avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Specific criteria to be used in evaluating the most effective treatment between preventive screw or simple close monitoring exist. Despite these criteria, the risk of osteonecrosis in the "healthy" hip is not zero.

RESUMO

CASE: We describe a case of posterior hip dislocation in a 13-year-old boy after a contact football injury with attempted closed reduction resulting in complete separation of the epiphysis from the femoral neck metaphysis with associated femoral head fracture and posterior dislocation of the femoral head. Treatment was emergently performed with a greater trochanteric osteotomy, open reduction internal fixation using cannulated screws, and additional small diameter drill holes in the femoral head to promote blood flow. The patient did well postoperatively and at over 4 years follow-up had no evidence of avascular necrosis and returned to full athletics participation. CONCLUSION: Particular attention should be taken when reducing hip dislocations in the adolescent population who may be predisposed to epiphysiolysis. Preservation of periosteal soft-tissue attachments and the use of small diameter drill holes to promote femoral head blood flow may have contributed to the excellent outcome.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the timing of surgery and surgical technique affect the rate of osteonecrosis in unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). This is a retrospective review of all unstable slips that were treated at our institution over 8.5 years with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months. Patients with stable slips were excluded from this analysis. Demographic data, time to surgery, and surgical technique were analyzed. Twenty-three unstable slips were included for study after excluding 40 stable slips. There were 17 males and six females, with an average age of 11.9 years; 13 patients had right SCFEs. The average time from diagnosis to surgery was 57.7 h. Nine (39.1%) surgeries were performed within 24 h of admission, whereas 14 (60.9%) surgeries were performed after 24 h. Minimum follow-up was 23 months. Two patients developed osteonecrosis: one underwent surgery within 24 h of admission and the other after 24 h. Both underwent in-situ screw fixation. In the group that did not develop osteonecrosis, 76.2% underwent in-situ screw fixation and 23.8% underwent manipulative reduction. The rate of developing osteonecrosis following screw fixation in unstable SCFE was unrelated to whether surgery was performed before or after 24 h of admission (P = 1.0), or whether in-situ screw fixation or manipulative reduction pre-fixation was performed (P = 0.605). The results of this small series challenge the practice of stabilizing unstable SCFEs emergently and the belief that gentle manipulative reduction pre-fixation is not recommended because it may increase the rate of osteonecrosis. Level of Evidence: Level IV Evidence.

RESUMO

Sternoclavicular epiphysiolysis is a rare lesion, the posterior variant being even less common. Its clinical presentation may be subtle, or it may compromise mediastinal structures, either initially or during evolution, which is a serious and potentially fatal picture. This case report documents sternoclavicular dissociation in a patient with an immature skeleton, given by a Salter and Harris 1-type injury, which was surgically treated by open reduction and internal fixation with transosseous configuration with non-reabsorbable suture. With a 10-month follow-up and excellent results. This technique seems to be a good option for the treatment of sternoclavicular dislocation in the schematically immature patient, regaining function and avoiding complications.


La epifisiólisis esternoclavicular es una lesión rara, siendo la variante posterior aún menos frecuente. Su presentación clínica puede ser sutil o puede comprometer estructuras mediastinales, ya sea inicialmente o durante la evolución, lo que constituye un cuadro grave y potencialmente fatal. Este reporte de caso documenta una disociación esternoclavicular en un paciente con esqueleto inmaduro, dada por una lesión fisaria tipo Salter y Harris 1, la que se trató quirúrgicamente mediante reducción abierta y fijación interna con lazadas en ocho transóseas con sutura no reabsorbible. Con un seguimiento de 10 meses y resultados excelentes. Esta técnica parece ser una buena opción para el tratamiento de luxación esternoclavicular en el paciente esquemáticamente inmaduro, recuperando la función y evitando complicaciones.
