RESUMO

Coronal malalignment of the knee joint is very common in developing countries especially because of nutritional rickets. Significant valgus deformity needs to be treated surgically to improve appearance, gait and function of the patient. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the results of supracondylar "V" osteotomy as a surgical technique for correction of the valgus knee deformity. This study was conducted in a tertiary level teaching hospital and 30 cases were included in the study. For all the patients deformity was assessed using ana- tomical tibiofemoral angle, mechanical axis deviation and intermalleolar distance preoperatively and post- operatively. The average age of our patients was 13.7 years and the average follow up was3.29 years (1.39-14.22 yrs). Clinically the average value of intermalleolar distance preoperatively was 16cm and 3.2 cm postperatively. Average pre-operative tibiofemoral angle was 23° and the average postoperative angle was 6 0 which was found to be statistically significant using the Paired t test (p<0.005). The average value of preoperative mechanical axis deviation was 3.1 cm which decreased to an average value of 1.1 cm postoperatively. The results with this technique have been encouraging. The advantages of this technique are low morbidity, good stability allowing early ambulation, ability to adjust alignment postoperatively by casting and no need for internal fixation. Few studies have been conducted on osteotomies that do not require internal fixation and are inherently stable. This technique has the advantage of practically no occurrence of any infection or a second surgery to remove hardware in children and adolescents. Since no specialized instrumentation, image intensifier and implants are required, it is cost effective and can be used in any primary care or district level surgical setup in a developing country like ours.

RESUMO

Failure of internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures is associated with delayed union or malunion resulting in persistent pain and diminished function. We evaluated 15 elderly patients treated with a tapered, fluted, modular, distally fixing cementless stem. At an average follow-up of 2.86 years, mean Harris hip score improved from 35.90 preoperatively to 83.01 (P < .01). Fourteen stems had stable bony on growth, and one stem was loose. Distal fixation with a tapered, fluted, modular cementless stem allows stable fixation with good functional outcome in a reproducible fashion in this challenging cohort of patients.

RESUMO

It is not uncommon to encounter patients with atypical hip or lower extremity pain, ill-defined clinicoradiological features, and concomitant hip and lumbar spine arthritis. The purpose of this study is to present our experience using the response resulting from a combined anesthetic-steroid hip injection for treatment selection in these patients. A retrospective analysis of 204 consecutive diagnostic hip injections was undertaken. Patient charts were scrutinized for outcomes of injection and treatment. Our findings suggest that the relief of symptoms following injection of local anesthetic and steroid into the hip joint has a sensitivity of 91.5%, specificity and positive predictive value of 100%, and negative predictive value of 84.6% for response to total hip arthroplasty. We thereby believe that this is a reliable test with low morbidity and can predict the potential benefit of total hip arthroplasty in this diagnostically challenging group of patients.

RESUMO

AIM: To know the incidence of postoperative deep vein thrombosis after hip surgery in Indian patients. METHOD: Our study comprises 108 patients undergoing major lower limb orthopaedic surgery. Evaluation by colour Doppler ultrasonography to detect DVT was performed on both lower limbs between seventh and 14th postoperative day. There were 15 total hip replacements (THR), 50 bipolar hemiarthroplasties and 43 proximal femoral fixations by intra-/extra-medullary implant. Only 17 (15.74%) patients showed Colour Doppler evidence of DVT without any complication. RESULTS: In THR patients, incidence of DVT is 20%; in bipolar hemiarthoplasty, it is 16%; and in the proximal femoral fixation, it is 13.95%. No case developed pulmonary embolism, and the current figure for the incidence of DVT is 15.74%. CONCLUSIONS: From our study, it appears to be the difference in incidence of DVT in our country and in western countries, but incidence is not rare. Hence, chemoprophylaxis is necessary in Indian patients.

RESUMO

Few studies about how heterotopic ossification (HO) affects functional outcome after metal-on-metal total hip resurfacing (MOMHR) have been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and clinical significance of HO after MOMHR. We retrospectively reviewed 122 consecutive patients, who underwent MOMHR from June 2006 to October 2008, with adequate follow-up information. All patients had four weeks of aspirin (325 mg twice a day) for DVT prophylaxis and two weeks of celecoxib (400 mg once a day) for pain control. All data were collected prospectively including radiographs and functional scores preoperatively, at three months and at one year postoperatively. An independent musculoskeletal radiologist, using the Brooker classification, reviewed radiographs. Unbalanced ANOVA analyses were performed to evaluate the effect of HO on outcome. The overall incidence of HO at three months was 62.1% (grade 1: 39.8%, grade 2: 20.4%, grade 3: 1.9%) and 75% at one year (grade 1: 41.7%, grade 2: 27.8%, grade 3: 5.5%). There were no significant differences in the functional status scores among Brooker grade 0 to 3 groups at three months and one year follow-up. The incidence of HO after MOMHR was 62.1% at three months and 75% at one year despite a post-operative regimen of aspirin and celecoxib. We found no evidence that predominantly Brooker grade 1 or 2 HO affected the clinical outcome at three months or one year when compared across all Brooker classes of patients.
