RESUMO

BACKGROUND: While modular reconstruction implants can be used to replace the bone lost after bone tumor resection, tumor excision from the neighboring soft tissues can lead to loss of strength and joint range of motion (ROM), which results in worse knee function. Functional recovery after total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis has been extensively documented. But few studies have evaluated the recovery after total knee reconstruction following tumor excision despite the fact that most of these patients are young and have high functional demands. We did a prospective cross-sectional study to: 1) compare muscle strength recovery around the knee with an isokinetic dynamometer after tumor excision and reconstruction with a modular implant to the healthy contralateral knee; 2) determine if the differences in peak torque (PT) in the knee extensors and flexors had a clinical impact. HYPOTHESIS: Resection of soft tissues during tumor excision around the knee causes strength loss that cannot be fully recovered. METHODS: The 36 patients who underwent extra- or intra-articular resection of a primary or secondary bone tumor in the knee area followed by reconstruction with a rotating hinge knee system between 2009 and 2021 were eligible for this study. The primary outcome was the ability to actively lock the operated knee. The secondary outcomes were the concentric PT during isokinetic testing at slow (90°/sec) and fast (180°/sec) speeds, flexion-extension ROM, Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score, the IKS, Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and KOOS. RESULTS: Nine patients agreed to participate in the study, all of whom had regained the ability to lock their knee postoperatively. PT in flexion and extension on the operated knee was less than the healthy knee. The PT ratio for the operated/healthy knee at 60°/sec and 180°/sec in flexion was 56.3%±16.2 [23.2-80.1] and 57.8%±12.3 [37.7-77.4], respectively, which corresponded to a slow-speed strength deficit of 43.7% in the knee flexors. The PT ratio for the operated/healthy knee at 60°/sec and 180°/sec in extension was 34.3%±24.6 [8.6-76.5] and 43%±27.2 [13.1-93.4], respectively, which corresponded to a slow-speed strength deficit of 65.7% in the knee extensors. The mean MSTS was 70%±20 [63-86]. The OKS was 29.9/48±11 [15-45], the mean IKS knee was 149.6±36 [80-178] and the mean KOOS was 67.43±18.5 [35-88.7]. DISCUSSION: Despite all patients having the ability to lock out their knee, there was an imbalance in the strength between opposite muscle groups: 43.7% strength deficit at slow-speed and 42.2% at fast speed for the hamstring muscles, and 65.7% at slow-speed and 57% at fast speed for the quadriceps muscles. This difference is considered pathological with an increased risk of knee injury. Despite this strength deficit, this joint replacement technique, which is free of complications, can preserve good knee function with acceptable knee joint ROM and satisfactory quality of life. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III; prospective cross-sectional case-control study.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Myotonic dystrophy (DM1), a neuromuscular disease related to DMPK gene mutations, is associated to endocrine disorders and cancer. A routine endocrine work-up, including thyroid ultrasound (US), was conducted in 115 genetically-proven DM1 patients in a neuromuscular reference center. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and the causes of US thyroid abnormalities in DM1. RESULTS: In the whole population (age 45.1 ± 12.2 years, 61.7% female), palpable nodules or goiters were present in 29.2%. The percentage of US goiter (thyroid volume > 18 mL) and US nodules were, respectively, 38.3 and 60.9%. Sixteen of the 115 patients had a thyroidectomy, after 22 fine-needle aspiration cytology guided by thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TIRADS) classification. Six micro- (1/6 pT3) and 3 macro-papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTCs) (2/3 intermediate risk) were diagnosed (7.9% of 115). Thyroid US led to the diagnosis of 4 multifocal and 2 unifocal (including 1 macro-PTC) non-palpable PTCs. Ultrasound thyroid volume was positively correlated to body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.015) and parity (p = 0.036), and was inversely correlated to TSH (p < 0.001) and vitamin D levels (p = 0.023). The BMI, the frequencies of glucose intolerance and PTC were significantly higher in UsGoiter versus non-UsGoiter groups. CONCLUSION: In this systematically screened DM1 cohort, the frequency of UsGoiter, mainly associated to BMI, was about 40%, US nodules 60%, thyroidectomies 13-14%, and PTCs 8%, two-thirds of them being micro-PTCs with good prognosis. Therefore, a systematic screening remains debatable. A targeted US screening in case of clinical abnormality or high BMI seems more appropriate.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a rare disease characterized by widespread blistering of the skin and mucous membranes, which may ultimately prompt limb amputation. In this context, the outcome of fitting a prosthesis to a chronically wounded stump is not well known. Our patient's experience (with 15 years of follow-up) should contribute to better knowledge of this topic. CASE REPORT: A 37-year-old man presented with severe dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Recurrent skin carcinoma had led to an amputation below the knee. Despite incessant development of blisters on the stump and the need for wound dressing and padding, the patient has been able to walk freely with a prosthesis and a cane. A large number of skin sarcomas were excised over the 15-year period of prosthesis use. Two falls have resulted in limb fractures. A new sarcoma on the stump marked the end of the use of the prosthesis. DISCUSSION: Despite the constant presence of wounds on the stump, amputees with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa can successfully be fitted with a prosthesis.
