RESUMO

Introduction: Loose bodies in the knee joint are relatively common and the common causes are transchondral fractures, synovial chondromatosis, osteochondritis dissecans, meniscal injury, and osteoarthritis. Neoplastic growths from synovium have been reported to have presentations mimicking loose bodies or meniscus tears. Case Report: We report the case of an unusual cause of loose body in the knee joint of a 35-year-old male who reported for follow-up 3 years after the surgical management of giant cell tumor (GCT) of the distal femur. He had symptoms of loose bodies in the joint without any complaint specific to the operative site. Imaging revealed loose bodies within the joint which were removed arthroscopically. Histopathology showed the loose bodies as GCT. The patient had relief of symptoms after removal and the patient has no evidence of recurrence at the primary site or in the knee joint. Conclusion: GCTs should be considered a cause of loose bodies in the joint when there is a neighboring bone affected by GCT and all such loose bodies removed should undergo histopathological examination.

RESUMO

The worldwide impact of cancer is further compounded by the constraints of current anticancer medications, which frequently exhibit a lack of selectivity, raise safety apprehensions, result in significant adverse reactions, and encounter resistance mechanisms. The current situation highlights the pressing need to develop novel and more precise anticancer agents that prioritize safety and target specificity. Remarkably, more than 85% of drugs with physiological activity contain heterocyclic structures or at least one heteroatom. Nitrogen-containing heterocycles hold a significant position among these compounds, emerging as the most prevalent framework within the realm of heterocyclic chemistry. This article explores the medicinal chemistry behind these molecules, highlighting their potential as game-changing possibilities for anticancer medication development. The analysis highlights the inherent structural variety in nitrogen-containing heterocycles, revealing their potential to be customized for creating personalized anticancer medications. It also emphasizes the importance of computational techniques and studies on the relationships between structure and activity, providing a road map for rational medication design and optimization. Nitrogen- containing heterocycles are a promising new area of study in the fight against cancer, and this review summarises the state of the field so far. By utilizing their inherent characteristics and exploiting cooperative scientific investigations, these heterocyclic substances exhibit potential at the forefront of pioneering therapeutic approaches in combating the multifaceted obstacles posed by cancer.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are common sports-related injuries. Their incidence is not the same either for all the sports or for the same sport across various nations. This information is maintained by many sports leagues in their registries. However, very few nationwide registries exist for such injuries. This study is carried out to know the demographic characteristics of patients who underwent ACL reconstruction at our hospital in India. AIM: To know the demographic characteristics of patients who underwent ACL reconstruction at a tertiary care hospital in India. METHODS: All the patients who underwent ACL reconstruction from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively studied. Patients with multi-ligament injuries or a history of previous knee surgery were excluded. The patients' history was obtained from the hospital records, they were interviewed telephonically, and online questionnaires were given. Their demographic data was analyzed and compared to the existing literature. RESULTS: A total of 124 patients were operated on for ACL reconstruction during this period. The mean age of the patients was 27.97 years. One hundred and thirteen patients (91.1%) were male and 11 (8.9%) were female. The majority of the patients (47.6%) sustained this injury by road traffic accidents (RTA) followed by sports-related injuries (39.5%). The commonest presenting complaint was giving way of the knee in 118 patients (95.2%). The mean duration from the injury to the first hospital visit among the patients was 290.1 d. The mean duration from the injury to surgery was 421.8 d. CONCLUSION: ACL patients' demography is different in developing nations as compared to the developed world. RTA are the leading cause of ACL injuries and are followed by recreational sports as a cause. There is delayed access to healthcare leading to delayed diagnosis as well as even greater time to surgery. This, in turn, leads to poorer prognosis and longer rehabilitation. National registries for developing nations are the need of the hour due to the different demographics of ACL injuries in developing countries.

RESUMO

Introduction: The anterior knee pain is the most common post-operative complaint associated with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using bone patellar tendon bone graft. It has been attributed to various factors such as loss of terminal extension, infrapatellar branch neuroma, and also due to the bone harvest site defect itself. Bone grafting of the defects in the patella and tibia has been shown to decrease anterior knee pain. At the same time, it also prevents post-operative stress fractures. Surgical Technique: Numerous bone pieces were produced in the knee joint as a result of the drilling during ACL reconstruction. Using a wash cannula and tissue grasper, all the bone fragments were gathered into a kidney tray. The bony fragments with the saline which were collected in the metal container were allowed to sediment at the bottom. The bone that was sedimented in the metal container was collected by decantation and placed into the bony defects of the patellar and tibial sides. Conclusion: Bone grafting of the defects in the patella and tibia has been shown to decrease anterior knee pain. Our technique is cost-effective as there is no requirement for special instrumentation like coring reamers, and no requirement for allograft or bone substitutes. Second, there is no morbidity associated with autografts harvested from elsewhere, we used the bone generated during the ACLR itself.

RESUMO

Bursitis, though treatable conservatively, very rarely can have ossification and calcification in its substance which requires surgical intervention. The patient should be investigated for any coexisting metabolic bone disorders before proceeding with surgical intervention. The excision biopsy of such a specimen has to be examined histopathologically to rule out any neoplastic etiology. We present an adult male with a painful lump over the tibial tuberosity and its management.

RESUMO

CASE: We present a fifteen-year-old adolescent boy with anterior knee pain and a palpable tender swelling in the suprapatellar region with painful terminal extension. Imaging was suggestive of a vascular lesion in the suprapatellar fat pad. He underwent arthroscopic debridement and postoperatively regained his terminal extension. CONCLUSION: Suprapatellar fat pad impingement can rarely be due to vascular lesions or lipomatous tumors affecting the suprapatellar fat pad. If conservative treatment is unsuccessful, surgery can provide good pain relief. The tissue excised should always be sent for histopathological examination.

RESUMO

Currently, the management of acute osteochondral fractures (OCFs) of the patella is well established. However, the management of chronic OCFs remains debatable, as it is not clear whether such lesions can be accurately reduced or whether they will reliably heal. With well proven results of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with headless compression screws (HCS) for acute OCFs, the application of this technique in late presenting cases is inconclusive. Thus, we present the clinicoradiological outcome of patients with chronic osteochondral injuries managed with ORIF. Fifteen patients who underwent surgical fixation by ORIF with HCS for chronic OCFs of the patella, between February 2013 and June 2018, were retrospectively analyzed after a mean follow-up of 3.8 years (range: 2-7 years). The mode of injury, size of the osteochondral fragment, and knee range of motion along with Kujala's scoring were examined clinically and radiological assessment was done by X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Fifteen patients (11 males and 4 females), with a mean age of 17 years with chronic OCF of patella were enrolled. Noncontact twisting injuries were the most common mode of injury seen in 86.66% of patients and postcontact injuries in two patients (13.33%). The mean time from trauma to presentation was 7 weeks (range: 6-14 weeks). The mean preoperative Kujala's score improved from 44 to 84.8 at 6 months and 92.6 at 2 years, postoperatively. Intraoperatively, the lesion was found in medial patellar facet in 12 patients and 3 had lesions in the central facet. The mean size of the lesion was 20 mm × 18 mm. Radiological union was observed in all patients, at a mean duration of 16 weeks (range: 12-20 weeks). One patient underwent implant removal 1 year after initial surgery for mechanical symptoms. ORIF of OCFs of the patella using headless cannulated screws is simple, reliable, reproducible, and provides satisfactory outcomes. This technique can be considered for fixation of fragments with adequate subchondral bone.

RESUMO

Purpose: The Judet's technique of quadricepsplasty for an extension contracture of the knee joint offers the benefit of a sequential and controlled release of the intrinsic and extrinsic soft tissue constituents restricting the knee flexion. The main principle of our study was to analyze the clinical as well as functional outcome and to assess an extension lag following Judet's quadricepsplasty for the knee extension contracture deformity. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study comprises of thirty three patients, operated for extension contracture with Judet's quadricepsplasty with the mean follow-up was 30 months. Knee range of motion of the operated knee was recorded preoperatively and at 6, 12 and 24 month follow-up after the surgery. Judet's criteria were used to evaluate the outcomes following the procedure. Results: 92.42° (range, 60°-110°) of knee flexion was achieved after an average follow-up of 24 months compared to preoperative knee flexion was 14.09° (range 5°-25°), reflecting a 74.69° average improvement in knee flexion. Twelve patients had excellent results, nineteen had good results as per Judet's criteria but there were no patients with extension lag. The two patients with fair results had superficial wound infection which healed without any further surgical intervention. Conclusions: Judet's quadricepsplasty offers sequential release without extension lag of the knee joint. Patients with the knee extension contractures deformity can be successfully managed with the Judet's quadricepsplasty to gain useful knee motion and function.

RESUMO

Pseudo-arthrosis of the proximal humerus is an uncommon condition that is difficult to treat. Humoral hypercalcemia from a benign tumour is a rare clinical entity and pleomorphic adenoma as its source has never been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 53-year-old gentleman with a pleomorphic parotid gland adenoma and pseudoarthrosis non-union of the proximal humerus exacerbated by symptomatic parathormone-independent hypercalcemia. The non-union is fixed using a novel technique of placing an ipsilateral cortico-cancellous iliac strut graft as a medial buttress and stabilized with a fixed-angle plate over the lateral side. Following the surgical resection of the tumour, hypercalcemia resolved and the patient improved clinically. This case is a good example of a rare endocrine disease managed by a multidisciplinary approach.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Meniscus ramp lesions associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are being increasingly reported in the literature. This study was carried out to know the incidence of ramp lesions in ACL injured patients and to study the characteristics of these patients in our population. METHODS: Seventy-five patients who underwent ACL reconstruction from January 2021 to December 2021 were prospectively studied. Patients with multi-ligament injuries or a history of previous knee surgery were excluded. All patients were examined clinically and all underwent MRI examinations. The findings of arthroscopy during ACL reconstruction were recorded and analyzed. RESULT: Seventeen patients had ramp lesions with an incidence of 22.67%. Eight were isolated ramp lesions, and nine had other meniscus injuries. Ramp lesions were identified with 41.18% sensitivity using preoperative MRI. Thirteen out of 17 patients with ramp lesions had increased mobility of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus on anterior probing. The duration from injury to surgery was significantly longer in patients with ramp lesions as compared to patients without ramp lesions. CONCLUSION: A ramp lesion is not an uncommon lesion in ACL injuries and can occur either as an isolated meniscus lesion or in association with other meniscus lesions.Ramp lesions can occur in road traffic accidents as well and are not just sports-related injuries. Ramp lesions are not visible through routine anterior portal diagnostic arthroscopy and their repair adds to the stability of the knee. The absence of ramp lesions on MRI does not rule out their presence; hence, one should always look for ramp lesions in the posteromedial compartment of the knee in all cases undergoing ACL reconstruction.

RESUMO

Background: Depressed fractures of anteromedial tibial plateau are often underappreciated and treated inadequately. When these fractures are accompanied by injuries of posterior cruciate ligament and postero-lateral corner, they are called as diagonal lesions. There are very few publications on the management of such injuries in chronic stage. The purpose of our study is to describe our results in management of these neglected fractures using open wedge osteotomy of medial tibial condyle (OWOMTC). Methods: This is a retrospective study of ten patients. KOOS score and Tegner and Lysholm score were recorded preoperatively and at three, six, twelve and twenty four months after surgery to assess the functional outcome. Medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) and tibial slope were recorded before and after surgery. Results: All cases had posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries. There was no anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. MPTA was corrected from mean 76.2° ± 3.7° to mean 86.4° ± 3.2°. Mean tibial slope was increased from -4° ± 3° to mean tibial slope of 7.6° ± 2.2°.Tegner and Lyshom score improved from mean of 38-88 (p < .05) at final follow-up. KOOS score improved from mean of 32-86 (p < .05) at final follow-up. Union was achieved in all the cases. None of the cases required ligament reconstruction. Conclusions: We conclude that OWOMTC is a useful method to manage neglected depressed fractures of anteromedial tibial plateau accompanied by PCL and PLC injury (diagonal injury). This procedure can restore limb alignment, congruency and stability of knee joint without any soft tissue reconstruction and change in the patellofemoral kinematics.

RESUMO

Purpose: Chronic posterior dislocation of shoulder (PDS) is an uncommon injury and there are very few publications describing its different injury patterns and their treatment. This study was carried out to study the associated injuries in chronic PDS, which can help to classify and guide the treatment. Methods: We retrospectively studied 16 chronic posterior dislocation of shoulder. CT scan was used to classify the injury based on the amount of bone loss in humeral head, malunion of greater tuberosity and malunion of proximal humerus metaphysis. Visual analogue score (VAS) for pain, university of California Los Angles (UCLA) shoulder score and American shoulder and elbow surgeon (ASES) shoulder score were recorded pre operatively and at an average of 27 months post operatively. Results: - Type A1 injury was PDS with <50% humeral head bone loss with intact greater tuberosity (GT). It was managed by modified McLaughlin procedure (MMP). Type A2 injury was PDS with >50% bone loss with intact GT. It was managed by hemi-replacement (HRA). Type B1 injury was PDS with <50% bone loss with severe GT malunion. It was managed by MMP and corrective osteotomy of GT. Type B2 injury was PDS with >50% bone loss and severe GT malunion. It was managed by reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Type C1 injury was PDS with <50% bone loss and metaphyseal malunion. It was managed by MMP and osteotomy of proximal humeral metaphysis. Type C2 injury was PDS with >50% bone loss and metaphyseal malunion. It was managed by HRA. The VAS, UCLA score and ASES score improved significantly after the surgery in all cases. There was no recurrence of the instability. Conclusions: We concluded that chronic PDS could have fractures of tuberosities and/or proximal metaphysis in addition to bone loss in humeral head. The treatment is guided by all three factors-amount of bone loss in humeral head, malunion of GT and proximal humeral metaphysis. The proposed classification can help in choosing the optimum treatment out of joint salvage procedure, anatomic shoulder replacement and reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

RESUMO

CASE: We report 2 cases of atraumatic, bilateral femoral neck fracture nonunions. Both the patients were relatively young and had underlying nutritional osteomalacia. In both cases, valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy was performed along with vitamin D and calcium supplementation. The patients were followed up for an average of 3 years and achieved bone union without any complications. CONCLUSION: Bilateral femoral neck fractures are rare, and bilateral nonunion of femoral neck fractures secondary to osteomalacia is even rarer. Valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy can salvage the hip. Correction of underlying osteomalacia by vitamin D and calcium supplementation preceeded surgical intervention in our cases.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The lead compounds from the series of 2, 4-disubstituted quinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives were selected for the in-silico mechanistic study. The compounds were found selective and potent for the cancer cell. Moreover, the relevant ADME in-silico data also support the safety of lead. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study is to correlate the interaction of DNA and quinoline derivative, which was reported with the fluorescence microscopy images of cells in-vitro data in the recently published data. METHODS: The detailed interaction study with the DNA dodecanucleotide sequenced d(CGCGAATTCGCG) shows the present lead bounds with the A/T minor groove region of a B-DNA duplex through the important major and minor hydrogen bonds. RESULTS: The present in-silico study supports the interactions of the drug with DNA with sufficient binding interactions and energy. The present study also gives vital information related to the mechanism of drug action, which was initially declared as a DNA targeting molecule through a fluorescence-based target study. CONCLUSION: The substitution at 2nd position (the carbonyl group) of the lead revealed as a hydrogen bond donor/acceptor for adenine and guanine nucleic acid-base pair. The in-silico prediction also confirmed the interaction pattern of the lead with the DNA, which will be further utilized for drug development.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is an uncommon benign tumor accounts for <2% of all benign and <1% all bone tumors. It is a cartilage tumor with myxoid and fibrous elements. Because of rarity and resemblance with other benign and malignant tumor, diagnosis of this tumor always remains challenging. Often, this lesion affects metaphysis of long growing bones of children and young adults. Common locations of this tumor are around the growth plate of proximal tibia and fibula and distal femur. CASE REPORT: A 21-year-old male presented to orthopedic outpatient department with a history of the left hip pain for 1 year, following a trivial fall before 1 year. The patient was not able to do heavy strenuous activities such as running, jumping, and other sports activities. Terminal range of movements were painful. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested of cystic lesion involving synovial lining near head-and-neck junction of the left femur. Curettage of the lesion was done. The bone defect was not found to be large enough to be filled with bone graft. Histopathological examination showed lobular pattern with stellate to spindle-shaped cells on the myxoid background. CONCLUSION: CMF of subcapital region of femoral neck is an extremely unusual presentation. When occurring in middle-aged persons and in uncommon locations, this can raise suspicion of chondrosarcoma. Although intralesional curettage has the risk of recurrence in post-operative period, sufficient and careful curettage and excision of lesion will be enough to treat these benign lesions with good prognosis.

RESUMO

AIMS: The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical outcomes after Eden-Hybinette procedure for revision surgery in recurrent anterior shoulder instability in patients with epilepsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated eight such patients between 2015 and 2018. Four patients had failed Latarjet/Bristow procedure and two had failed arthroscopic Bankart procedure, while two had history of both the procedures. After medical control of epilepsy, Eden-Hybinette procedure was performed in all patients. WOSI score and Rowe shoulder score was recorded preoperatively and in subsequent post-operative follow-up. A paired t test was used to analyze and compare preoperative and postoperative outcomes and was considered significant if p value was < 0.05. RESULTS: The average follow-up was 30 months (range 24-48 months). There was no recurrence of shoulder instability. The mean WOSI score before surgery was 77.3 (range 70-83), which improved to 24.2 (range 19-30) at 24-month follow-up. The mean Rowe score before surgery was 11.3 (range 5-15), which improved to 81.8(range 65-90) at 24-month follow-up. The improvement in WOSI and Rowe score was found to be statistically significant [p value < 0.05]. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that Eden-Hybinette is a useful revision procedure to manage recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in patients with epilepsy. Optimum medical control of seizure is also an important factor in preventing recurrent shoulder instability.

RESUMO

AIM: Infection after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, though rare, is a potentially devastating complication and the evidence-based recommendation on the various topics in its management is limited. The purpose of this study was to develop recommendations for the prevention and management of infections in ACL reconstruction surgery by performing a structured expert consensus survey using Delphi methodology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 22 topics of relevance in the prevention and management of infection following ACL reconstruction were chosen from an extensive literature review. 30 panelists were requested to respond to a three-round survey, with feedback, to develop a consensus statement on the topics. RESULTS: Consensus statements could be prepared in eleven out of twenty-two topics including: the graft is retained at the first arthroscopic debridement, the graft is removed when repeated debridement are needed, and revision ACL reconstruction is needed only if the patient develops instability. Concurrence could be obtained in the topics including: longer duration of antibiotics is needed in immunocompromised patients, soaking graft in antibiotic solution reduces infection risk, and knee swelling without warmth does not suggest infection. CONCLUSIONS: A proper skin preparation, a longer course of antibiotics in immunocompromised patients, and soaking the graft in antibiotics reduces the risk of infection. In case of infection, a healthy-looking graft must be retained at the first debridement and if the graft must be removed, revision ACL reconstruction is advised only if the patient develops instability. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43465-021-00363-z.
