RESUMO
PURPOSE: Rotational malalignment and leg length discrepancy after intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft are frequent. This study has three objectives: evaluate the rate of femoral rotational malalignment and leg length discrepancy using EOS imaging after antegrade intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fracture, find a relevant clinical examination to detect malrotation and identified risk factors. METHODS: We performed a retrospective single-centre study between January 2014 and January 2022. Fifty-eight patients were clinically and radiographically assessed at a minimum of three months. RESULTS: The femoral rotation of the operated side was significantly greater by a mean of 15.4° in internal rotation compared to the healthy side. There was no statically significant difference for the femoral length (p = 0.08). CONCLUSION: When using EOS stereography following antegrade intramedullary nailing of post-traumatic diaphyseal femur fractures, a statistically significant difference of more than 15.4° in internal rotation was found for femoral rotation on the operated side compared to the healthy side.Please confirm if the author names are presented accurately and in the correct sequence (given name, middle name/initial, family name).

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. INTRODUCTION: Spinal fractures are common trauma that can be treated by a range of techniques, from functional to surgical. Spine surgery has been around for many years. The first procedures were done open but have been plagued by numerous complications-sometimes severe-and substantial intraoperative blood loss. Percutaneous surgery was developed to help reduce the complications while providing similar clinical and radiological outcomes to open surgery. We conducted a study to compare open and percutaneous surgery and to evaluate other complications as well as short- and medium-term clinical and radiological results. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective, single-center study comparing two cohorts of patients suffering from an isolated vertebral fracture who were operated using either an open or percutaneous technique. Included were patients who had an isolated vertebral fracture between T10 and L3 and were operated between 01/01/2016 and 31/12/2018 at the Reims university hospital. These patients were reviewed in person after a minimum of 18 months postoperative for clinical and radiological assessments. The Mercuriali and Brecher formula was used to calculate intraoperative blood loss based on pre- and postoperative hematocrit; the total blood volume was determined with the Nadler formula. RESULTS: The study cohort consisted of 79 patients operated by percutaneous surgery and 55 patients operated by open surgery. The blood loss in the percutaneous surgery group was 176 mL versus 220 mL in the open surgery group (p = 0.02). The length of hospital stay was shorter after percutaneous surgery (mean of 3.6 days) than after open surgery (mean of 5.5 days) (p < 0.001). Also, the pedicle screw placement was optimal in 88% of percutaneous procedures versus 67% of open procedures (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Percutaneous surgery for thoracolumbar fractures causes less blood loss than conventional open surgery. The clinical and radiological results are on par with conventional open surgery. The mean length of hospital stay is shorter and the accuracy of pedicular screw placement is higher with percutaneous surgery. Thus, we can conclude that percutaneous surgery is the preferred treatment for thoracolumbar fractures when no neurological deficit is present. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

Infection and inflammation are two key features to consider to avoid septic or aseptic loosening of bone-implanted biomaterials. In this context, various approaches to fine-tune the biomaterial's properties have been studied in order to modulate the crosstalk between immune and skeletal cells. Cation-doping strategies for tuning of calcium phosphates properties has been evidenced as a promising way to control the biomaterial-induced inflammatory process, and thus improving their osteoimmunomodulatory properties. Copper(II) ions are recognized for their antibacterial potential, but the literature on their impact on particulate material-induced acute inflammation is scarce. We synthesized copper(II) ions-doped biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP), intended to exhibit osteoimmunomodulatory properties. We addressed in vitro, for the first time, the inflammatory response of human primary polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) to copper(II) ions-doped or undoped (BCP) powders, synthesized by an original and robust wet method, in the presence or absence of LPS as a costimulant to mimic an infectious environment. ELISA and zymography allowed us to evidence, in vitro, a specific increase in IL-8 and GRO-α secretion but not MIP-1ß, TNF-α, or MMP-9, by PMNs. To assess in vivo relevance of these findings, we used a mouse air pouch model. Thanks to flow cytometry analysis, we highlighted an increased PMN recruitment with the copper(II) ions-doped samples compared to undoped samples. The immunomodulatory effect of copper(II) ions-doped BCP powders and the consequent induced moderate level of inflammation may promote bacterial clearance by PMNs in addition to the antimicrobial potential of the material. Copper(II) doping provides new insights into calcium phosphate (CaP)-based biomaterials for prosthesis coating or bone reconstruction by effectively modulating the inflammatory environment.
RESUMO
Considered as some of the most devastating complications, Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes)-related osteomyelitis are among the hardest infections to diagnose and treat. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) secrete number of immunomodulatory and antimicrobial soluble factors, making them an attractive treatment for bacterial infection. In this study, we examined MSCs/C. acnes interaction and analyzed the subsequent MSCs and bacteria's behaviors. Human bone marrow-derived MSCs were infected by C. acnes clinical strain harvested from non-infected bone site. Following 3 h of interaction, around 4% of bacteria were found in the intracellular compartment. Infected MSCs increased the secretion of prostaglandin E2 and indolamine 2,3 dioxygenase immunomodulatory mediators. Viable intracellular bacteria analyzed by infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy revealed deep modifications in the wall features. In comparison with unchallenged bacteria, the viable intracellular bacteria showed (i) an increase in biofilm formation on orthopaedical-based materials, (ii) an increase in the invasiveness of osteoblasts and (iii) persistence in macrophage, suggesting the acquisition of virulence factors. Overall, these results showed a direct impact of C. acnes on bone marrow-derived MSCs, suggesting that blocking the C. acnes/MSCs interactions may represent an important new approach to manage chronic osteomyelitis infections. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The interaction of bone commensal C. acnes with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells induces modifications in C. acnes wall characteristics. These bacteria increased (i) the biofilm formation on orthopaedical-based materials, (ii) the invasiveness of bone forming cells and (iii) the resistance to macrophage clearance through the modification of the wall nano-features and/or the increase in catalase production.

INTRODUCTION: Using locking plates in opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) via a medial opening theoretically allows early weight-bearing without need for bone or bone-substitute grafting. It incurs a risk of non-consolidation in case of large correction (>10°), although rates and risk factors of non-union are not known. The present retrospective study compared OWHTO with correction <10° versus >10°, with a view to determining: (1) complications rates (non-union) according to degree of correction, and (2) risk factors for such complications. HYPOTHESIS: OWHTO with correction greater than 10° without graft shows normal consolidation and allows early weight-bearing. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Forty-one patients treated by OWHTO for medial osteoarthritis of the knee between January 2101 and November 2015 were included in a retrospective study. HKA angle was assessed by long-leg axis radiographs, preoperatively and at 3 months. Clinical and radiological follow-up at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months assessed consolidation in terms of >40% filling of the osteotomy site. Partial (contact) weight-bearing was allowed from the first postoperative day, with full weight-bearing at 6 weeks. RESULTS: Mean patient age was 59±5 years. Mean body-mass index (BMI) was 30.3±5.2; 17 patients (41.5%) had BMI >30. Mean initial HKA angle was 173.5°±3° (range, 167-178°) and mean correction was 10.7°±2.7° (range, 5-15°). There were 27 corrections of 10° or more, and 14 less than 10°. At 3 months, mean HKA was 182.9°±2.5° (range, 178-187°). Twelve cases showed lateral tibial cortex fracture after opening. Thirty-six patients (87.8%) showed consolidation, at a mean 5±3 months. Five patients showed osteotomy site non-union; in all these cases, the lateral cortex was broken initially (P=0.003); all had BMI >30 (mean, 37.2±3.8; P<0.03); none were smokers. On univariate analysis, lateral tibial cortex fracture (OR=10; 95% CI, (1.59-196.30)), BMI >30 (OR=1.18; 95% CI, (1.03-1.41)) and correction ≥10° (OR=10.50; 95% CI, (2.49-53.86)) were associated with delayed consolidation. On multivariate analysis, only degree of osteotomy was significantly associated with delayed consolidation (OR=11.51; 95% CI, (2.13-95.74)). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Obesity and initial lateral cortex fracture appeared as risk factors for non-consolidation of OWHTO with large correction. Systematic bone or bone-substitute grafting may therefore be considered in this population in case of >10° correction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, prospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Arthroscopic meniscal repair limits the medium-term risk of radiological osteoarthritis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cannot provide an accurate assessment of meniscal healing but may show harbingers of osteoarthritis such as meniscal extrusion. The objective of this study was to assess long-term meniscal extrusion after meniscal repair. HYPOTHESIS: Arthroscopic meniscal suture is not followed by meniscal extrusion and can, therefore, provide good knee function in the long-term. METHODS: Consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic meniscal suture on a stable or stabilised knee were included retrospectively. MRI was performed to measure absolute meniscal extrusion (AME), relative meniscal extrusion (RME), anterior sagittal extrusion (ASE), posterior sagittal extrusion (PSE), coronal cartilage coverage index (cCCI), and sagittal cartilage coverage index (sCCI). RESULTS: After a mean follow-up of 8.8±0.87 years, there was no evidence of meniscal extrusion in these patients with stable or stabilised knees: AME, 1.7±1.03 and 2.3±0.93mm, RME, 17±0.10% and 28±0.12%, ASE, 2.52±1.43 and 1.71±2.42mm, PSE, 0.29±3.49 and 0.22±2.35mm, cCCI, 23±0.08% and 20±0.09%, and sCCI, 49±0,10% and 53±0.09%. CONCLUSION: In the long-term after meniscal repair, osteoarthritis is limited and meniscal function seems preserved. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective study.
