RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To assess 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) positron emission tomography (PET) findings associated with metacarpal/metatarsal condylar fractures at the time of fracture repair and through healing. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective descriptive study. ANIMALS: Fourteen Thoroughbred racehorses. METHODS: 18F-NaF PET was performed within 4 days of surgical metacarpal/metatarsal condylar fracture repair, on both the injured and contralateral limb. Follow-up PET scans were offered at 3- and 5-months post fracture repair. Areas of abnormal uptake were assessed using a previously validated grading system. RESULTS: Eight fractures were located in the parasagittal groove (PSG) (six lateral and two medial) and six fractures were located abaxial to the PSG (non-PSG) through the palmar/plantar condyle (all lateral). All horses in the latter group had uptake in the lateral palmar condyle of the contralateral limb suggestive of stress remodeling. Three horses with PSG fractures had uptake in a similar location in the contralateral limb. Horses with lateral condylar fracture only presented minimal or mild uptake in the medial condyle, which is considered atypical in the front limbs for horses in full training. Four horses developed periarticular uptake in the postoperative period suggestive of degenerative joint disease, three of these horses had persistent uptake at the fracture site. These four horses did not return to racing successfully. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study provide evidence of pre-existing lesions and specific uptake patterns in racehorses suffering from metacarpal/metatarsal condylar fractures. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: PET has a possible role in the prevention, diagnosis, and postoperative monitoring of metacarpal/metatarsal condylar fractures in racehorses.

RESUMO

Background: To compare the observed healthcare and societal costs of intramedullary screw (IMS) and plate fixation of extra-articular metacarpal and phalangeal fractures in a contemporary Australian context. Methods: A retrospective analysis, based on previously published data, was performed utilising information from Australian public and private hospitals, the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) and the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Results: Plate fixation demonstrated longer surgical lengths (32 minutes, compared to 25 minutes), greater hardware costs (AUD 1,088 vs. AUD 355), more extended follow-up requirements (6.3 months, compared to 5 months) and higher rates of subsequent hardware removal (24% compared to 4.6%), resulting in an increased healthcare expenditure of AUD 1,519.41 in the public system, and AUD 1,698.59 in the private sector. Wage losses were estimated at AUD 15,515.78 when the fracture cohort is fixed by a plate, and AUD 13,542.43 when using an IMS - a differential of AUD 1,973.35. Conclusions: There is a substantial saving to both the health system and the patient when using IMS fixation over dorsal plating for the fixation of extra-articular metacarpal and phalangeal fractures. Level of Evidence: Level III (Cost Utility).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Intramedullary screw fixation is a relatively new technique for fixation of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures. The objective of this study was to compare health care-associated costs and outcomes for intramedullary screw versus Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation of hand fractures. METHODS: A retrospective review of patients undergoing intramedullary screw fixation of hand fractures at a single center during 2016-2019 inclusive was conducted. Health care-associated costs were compared with age-matched and fracture pattern-matched controls who underwent K-wire fixation. RESULTS: Fifty patients met the study inclusion criteria, incorporating 62 fractures (29 K-wire, 33 intramedullary screw fixation). The median age was 34.6 years (18.0-90.1 years). There was no significant difference in primary operative costs (£1130.4 ± £162.7 for K-wire vs £1087.0 ± £104.2 for intramedullary screw), outpatient follow-up costs (£958.7 ± £149.4 for K-wire vs £782.4 ± £143.8 for intramedullary screw), or total health care-associated costs (£2089.1 ± £209.0 for K-wire vs £1869.4 ± £195.3 for intramedullary screw). However, follow-up costs were significantly lower for the uncomplicated intramedullary screw cohort (£847.1 ± £109.1 for K-wire vs £657.5 ± £130.8 for intramedullary screw, P = .05). Subgroup analysis also revealed that overall costs were significantly higher for buried K-wire techniques. Complication rates, time to return to active work, and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores were similar. CONCLUSIONS: This study identified significantly lower outpatient follow-up costs for uncomplicated intramedullary screw fixation of hand fractures compared with K-wires, along with a trend toward lower overall health care-associated costs. In addition, buried K-wire techniques were also found to carry a significantly higher financial burden. Higher powered prospective studies are required to determine indirect costs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The WALANT (wide-awake local anesthesia with no tourniquet) technique was based on local infiltration of lidocaine and epinephrine. This technique has rapidly gained popularity in recent years and can perform most hand operations. This study aimed to investigate the time spent on anesthesia and operation and perform an economic analysis among general anesthesia, wrist block with a tourniquet, and the WALANT technique for the internal fixation of metacarpal fractures. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all the single metacarpal fractures managed with the same procedure, open reduction, and internal fixation with the plate between January 2015 and December 2019. They were divided into three groups according to the method of anesthesia: (1) general anesthesia (GA group), (2) wrist block with a tourniquet (WB group), and (3) WALANT technique (WALANT group). We collected and analyzed patient demographic data, perioperative or postoperative complications, number of hospital days, and postoperative functional recovery assessment. RESULTS: A total of 63 patients met the inclusion criteria, including 24 in the GA group, 28 in the wrist block group using a tourniquet, and 11 in the WALANT group. There were no complications during the operation and follow-up in each group. The GA group had an average of 32.8 min of anesthesia time, significantly longer than the other two groups. However, there is no significant difference regarding surgical time among the presenting three groups. The discomfort of vomiting and nausea after surgery occurred in 20 patients in the GA group (38.1%). Nevertheless, there was no postoperative vomiting and nausea present in both the WB and WALANT groups. Most patients achieved full recovery of pre-injury interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal motion at the final assessment of functional recovery. CONCLUSIONS: The patients undergoing metacarpal fixation surgery under WALANT or WB had significantly less anesthesia time and postoperative vomiting and nausea. Moreover, there was no difference in surgical time and intraoperative complications. The time-related reduction improved the utilization of the operation room for additional cases. The reduction of the preoperative examination, anesthesia fee, postoperative recovery room observation, and hospitalization can effectively reduce medical costs. Furthermore, the WALANT group is more acceptable because of no tourniquet, which commonly causes discomfort.

RESUMO

Background and purpose - Revision surgery after trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty is sometimes required. Varying revision rates and outcomes have been reported in rather small patient series. Data on risk factors for revision surgery, on the final outcome of revision, and possible factors affecting the outcome of revision are also limited. We evaluated these factors in 50 patients. Patients and methods - From 1,142 trapeziometacarpal arthroplasties performed during a 10-year period, 50 patients with 65 revision surgeries were retrospectively identified and invited to participate in a follow-up study involving subjective, objective, and radiologic evaluation. The revision rate, risk factors for revision, and factors affecting the outcome of revision were analyzed. Results - The revision rate was 5%. Scaphometacarpal impingement was the most common reason for revision surgery. Patient age ≤ 55 years was a risk factor with a revision rate of 9% in this age group, whereas an operation on both thumbs during the follow-up period was a negative risk factor for revision surgery. There was no difference in revision risk between ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition with or without a bone tunnel. 9 patients had multiple revision procedures and their final outcome did not differ significantly from patients revised only once. Most of the patients felt subjectively that they had benefited from revision surgery and the subjective outcome measures (QuickDash and pain VAS) and the Conolly score were in the same range as previously described for revision trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty. Interpretation - Age ≤ 55 years is a risk factor for revision surgery. The type of primary surgery does not affect the risk of revision surgery and multiple revision procedures do not result in worse outcomes than cases revised only once. Mechanical pain caused by contact between the metacarpal and scaphoid is the most common indication for revision surgery. In general, patients seem to benefit from revision surgery for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis.

RESUMO

STUDY DESIGN: Case report. INTRODUCTION: Development of extensor tendon adhesions is a common complication after intra-articular metacarpal head fracture. Whenever these adhesions cannot be mobilized by rehabilitation, tenolysis should be considered. However, the decision for tenolysis is often delayed. When the rehabilitation program comes to a plateau and clinical examination may not be sufficient to find out the cause, dynamic ultrasound (US) can show where the gliding mechanism is disrupted and help clinicians to give an accurate decision for determining the next steps. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To determine the role of dynamic US during hand rehabilitation. METHODS: A 22-year-old woman presented with a fifth metacarpal intra-articular head fracture. Ten days after the surgery (open reduction and internal fixation) the hand rehabilitation program was commenced. After the third week, the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint range of motion (ROM) gradually diminished. Dynamic US near the level of fifth MP joint revealed diminished extensor tendon excursion and capsular thickening. RESULTS: Considering physical and sonographic findings, surgical tenolysis and capsular release was planned. After surgery, the DIP, PIP and MP joints reached full passive ROM. CONCLUSION(S): Ultrasound is a quick and practical way to diagnose tendon adhesions. With this report, the authors suggest that clinicians may use dynamic US, especially in times when the patient comes to plateau during hand rehabilitation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the article was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes in a case series of unstable metacarpal fractures treated with flexible intramedullary nail (IMN) fixation. METHODS: A total of 55 patients with unstable metacarpal fractures between 2003 and 2010 were treated with IMN fixation and followed for a minimum of 1 year. The outcomes were assessed via a radiological study of longitudinal and angular collapse, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score, total active range of motion (ROM) of the wrist, and grip strength testing. RESULTS: In the 55 patients, metacarpal fractures were healed by clinical and radiographic assessment at an average of 12.7 weeks. IMNs were removed in all cases at an average of 13.9 weeks. Patients regained full finger ROM at the final follow-up and were capable of 72.4% of motion at 2 weeks postoperatively. The mean DASH score at the final follow-up was 6.5. Complications included 3 cases of extensor tendon irritation that resolved without functional impairment and 2 cases of "backing out" that required reoperation to replace the pin. In one case, a bony exostosis formed on the affected metacarpal that led to tendon irritation and required operative excision. CONCLUSIONS: We found that this technique allowed for the stabilization of fractures, early ROM, resumption of usual activities, reduced immobilization, and minimal complications. A removable orthosis, instead of a cast, allowed for earlier mobilization of the wrist, metacarpophalangeal, and proximal interphalangeal joints.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of metacarpal and phalanx fractures performed in the operating room (OR) versus the procedure room of the emergency department with primary outcomes being infection rate, radiographic union, and monetary cost. METHODS: From January 2006 to December 2010, all closed reduction and percutaneous pinnings of metacarpal and phalanx fractures (CPT codes: 26608; 26727) by a single board-certified hand surgeon (A.M.H.) were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were placed into 2 groups: Group 1 was patients treated in the OR, and group 2 was patients in an emergency department procedure room. Infection, malunion, and nonunion rates were compared using a chi-square test. Charges were compared using a t-test, and cost of supplies and labor was evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 189 patients met final inclusion criteria for this study: 130 in group 1 and 59 in group 2. There was no statistically significant difference in infection rates ( P = .13), nonunion ( P = .40), malunion rates ( P = .89), and hardware failure with revision ( P = .94) between the 2 groups. The procedure room patients had an average hospital charge of $1358.55 compared with $3691.85 for OR-treated patients (P = .001). The total cost of supplies and nonphysician labor was $432.31 per OR case and $179.59 per procedure room case. CONCLUSIONS: Metacarpal and phalanx fractures of the hand amendable to closed reduction and percutaneous pinning can be treated in the procedure room with no increase in risk of infection, malunion, or nonunion rates. In addition, these surgeries can be performed in a procedure room with lower cost and less charges to patients than in the operating room.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this cadaveric study is to evaluate the trajectory of percutaneous transverse Kirschner wire (K-wire) placement for fifth metacarpal fractures relative to the sagittal profile of the fifth metacarpal in order to develop a targeting strategy for the treatment of fifth metacarpal fractures. METHODS: Using 12 unmatched fresh human upper limbs, we evaluated the trajectory of percutaneous transverse K-wire placement relative to the sagittal profile of the fifth metacarpal in order to develop a targeting strategy for treatment of fifth metacarpal fractures. The midpoint of the small and ring finger metacarpals in the sagittal plane was identified at 3 points. At each point, a K-wire was inserted from the small finger metacarpal into the midpoint of the ring finger metacarpal ("center-center" position). RESULTS: The angle of the transverse K-wire relative to the table needed to achieve a center-center position averaged 20.8°, 18.9°, and 16.7° for the proximal diaphysis, middiaphysis, and the collateral recess, respectively. Approximately 80% of transversely placed K-wires obtained purchase in the long finger metacarpal. CONCLUSIONS: These results can serve as a guide to help surgeons in the accurate placement of percutaneous K-wires for small finger metacarpal fractures and may aid in surgeon training.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To date, there have been no studies identifying the cost differential for performing closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) of hand fractures in the operating room (OR) versus an ambulatory setting. Our goal was to analyse the cost and efficiency of performing CRIF in these two settings and to investigate current practice trends in Canada. METHODS: A detailed analysis of the costs involved both directly and indirectly in the CRIF of a hand fracture was conducted. Hospital records were used to calculate efficiency. A survey was distributed to practicing plastic surgeons across Canada regarding their current practice of managing hand fractures. RESULTS: In an eight-hour surgical block we are able to perform five CRIF in the OR versus eight in an ambulatory setting. The costs of performing a CRIF in the OR under local anaesthetic, not including surgeon compensation, is $461.27 Canadian (CAD) compared to $115.59 CAD in the ambulatory setting, a 299% increase. The use of a regional block increases the cost to $665.49 CAD, a 476% increase. The main barrier to performing CRIFs in an outpatient setting is the absence of equipment necessary to perform these cases effectively, based on survey results. CONCLUSION: The use of the OR for CRIF of hand fractures is associated with a significant increase in cost and hospital resources with decreased efficiency. For appropriately selected hand fractures, CRIF in an ambulatory setting is less costly and more efficient compared to the OR and resources should be allocated to facilitate CRIF in this setting.

RESUMO

The objective of this study was to analyse healthcare and productivity costs in patients with trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. We included 161 patients who received surgery or steroid injection and calculated their healthcare costs in Euro (€) over 1 year. Patients filled out the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire to assess loss of productivity at baseline, and after 3, and 12 months. In the surgical group, loss of productivity among employed patients first increased and then decreased (50%, 64%, and 25% at 0, 3, and 12 months). Productivity was more stable over time in the injection group (52%, 38%, and 48%). In the surgical group, estimated total annual healthcare and productivity costs were €5770 and €5548, respectively. In the injection group, healthcare and productivity costs were €348 and €3503. These findings highlight the need for assessing productivity costs to get a comprehensive view of the costs associated with a treatment.Level of Evidence III.
