RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Pectoralis Major ruptures normally occur in activities and sports such as powerlifting and American football or rugby. It is a rarely reported phenomena in professional footballers. Surgery is normally considered the choice of management to enable a safe return to play with conservatively managed ruptures often resulting in significant strength deficits. This case report highlights the management of a pectoralis major rupture in a professional footballer. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old professional footballer sustained a left pectoralis major rupture after falling to the floor. A subsequent MRI reported a 5cm retraction of the pectoralis major tendon from its attachment at the humerus. Following a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon the player underwent a pectoralis major surgical repair. Following surgery, the player underwent a rehabilitation programme under the care of the club physiotherapist. Return to play testing included a handheld dynamometer test, closed kinetic chain upper extremity test and progressive falling activities. The player returned to full contact training after 87 days. CONCLUSION: This case study demonstrates a successful return to professional football following a pectoralis major rupture and supports the notion that surgical repair of these injuries produces a favourable outcome in professional athletes when returning to sport.

Spontaneous extensor digitorum communis (EDC) tendon rupture is uncommon but easily confusing injury that lead to functional impairment. There is no any strict first-line treatment for nonrheumatoid EDC tendon rupture. We report a kidney transplant recipient with spontaneous rupture of the lateral expansion of the long-finger extensor tendon treated by wide awake surgery. Surgical repair with wide-awake local anesthesia was performed to realign the tendon for the patient. Three months following surgery, the patient obtained a full pain-free range of motion of the hand without recurrent dislocation.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to present the outcomes of wide-awake flexor tendon repairs in zones 1 and 2 in a major hand trauma referral center. METHODS: Zone 1 and zone 2 wide-awake flexor tendon repairs performed between August 2018 and March 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Outcomes were assessed by the original Strickland-Glogovac criteria for fingers and Buck-Gramcko scoring system for thumbs. Further descriptive analysis of the groups according to potential negative factors, such as injury mechanism, concomitant neurovascular injury, and the extent of injury in zone 2, were performed. RESULTS: A total of 94 tendons were repaired in 67 digits (58 fingers, 9 thumbs) of the 61 patients included in the study. Satisfactory results were achieved in 89.6% of the fingers and 77.8% of the thumbs. Intraoperative gapping was corrected after active digital extension-flexion test in 1 patient. Rupture was seen in 1 patient for a rate of 1.5%. The tenolysis indication rate was 5.1% for fingers and 11.1% for thumbs. CONCLUSIONS: In our series, functional outcome scores, tenolysis, and rupture rates remained similar with findings in the literature. The outcome of a flexor tendon repair is influenced by many factors that cannot be controlled intraoperatively. To assess the effect of performing the repair in a wide-awake setting on the outcome, clinical trials with large patient groups are needed. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic IV.

Background and objectives: The Achilles tendon, the largest tendon in the body, is vulnerable to injury because of its limited blood supply and the combination of forces to which it is subjected. Given the relevance of the Achilles tendon in the proper function of the foot and ankle, the primary goal of the present study was to use a holistic approach for a comprehensive evaluation of Achilles tendon reconstruction results on multiple levels. Materials and Methods: The study was designed in the following way: 30 patients with partial or total Achilles tendon tears were subjected to the minimally invasive Achilles tendon reconstruction. Patients were then subjected to the clinical, functional and isokinetic tests 12 and 24 months after the treatment. The clinical evaluation included calf circumference measurements and subjective patient-reported tests: ATRS, EQ-5D-5L and VAS scales. The functional evaluation was based on three tests: the weight-bearing lunge test, the heel rise test and single leg hop. Isometric and isokinetic evaluation was performed using a Biodex 3 dynamometer. Results: The calf circumference of the operated limbs was significantly lower than the non-operated limb 12 months after the surgical procedure, however this improved at the second evaluation. All subjective outcomes improved significantly 24 months after the surgery. Significantly better results in the function of the operated limbs were also obtained 24 months after the surgery. However, most of the muscle strength parameters of the operated limbs were already comparable to non-operated ones 12 months after the surgery and were comparable between two evaluation times. Conclusions: The overall results of this extensive evaluation are highly satisfactory and patients returned to their normal physical activity. From a medical point of view, it is assumed that the healing process is completed 12 months after the surgery, however, importantly, our results indicate that we should consider the healing process and the rehabilitation process separately.

A middle-aged male who suffered from heartburn ingested 1 tablespoon of bicarbonate dissolved in water to relieve symptoms. Minutes afterwards he debuted with severe abdominal pain. Upon arrival at hospital 35 minutes later he was septic with peritonitis. Surgery without preoperative radiology was contemplated. However, a promptly available CT-scan interpreted by a radiologist revealed small amounts of pneumoperitoneum. During laparotomy findings were minor and the anticipated perforation could not be localized. However, after extensive air insufflation with a gastroscope a perforation below the gastroesophageal junction was detected. This case illustrates how a seemingly harmless home remedy resulted in a life-threatening condition. During night-time in Sweden, primary radiological services are often only offered digitally by remote radiologists. Such a remote organization at our hospital might have resulted in omitting CT to avoid delay, but with an increased risk of misdiagnosing our patient.

Traumatic subcutaneous index finger both extensor tendons ruptures are rare injuries. Aim of the present paper is to review the literature about this uncommon lesion and to describe the case of 56 years old woman injured when her hand became stuck under a weight during a wrist hyperflexion movement. Surgical treatment was undertaken after 7 days. An extensor digiti minimi (EDM) tendon transfer and a Pulvertaft tenodesis on the index EDC to middle EDC using wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) technique was performed. The advantage is to allow immediate visualization of active motion and confirmation of appropriate soft tissue tensioning. In our patient no complications were observed and an early rehabilitation program was started. The patient recovered full function at 2 months and resumed hear heavy labour working activity at 4 months.

The Achilles tendon is commonly affected by both chronic repetitive overuse and traumatic injuries. Achilles tendon injuries can potentially affect any individual but have a particularly high incidence in professional athletes. Appropriate imaging evaluation and diagnosis are paramount to guiding appropriate management. In this AJR Expert Panel Narrative Review, we discuss the role of various imaging modalities (particularly ultrasound and MRI) in the assessment of Achilles tendon pathology, focusing on the modalities' relative advantages and technical considerations. We describe the most common diagnoses affecting the Achilles tendon and adjacent structures, highlighting key imaging findings and providing representative examples. Various image-guided interventions that may be used in the management of Achilles tendon pathology are also reviewed, including high-volume injection, tendon fenestration, prolotherapy, and corticosteroid injection. The limited evidence supporting such interventions are summarized, noting an overall paucity of large-scale studies showing benefit. Finally, a series of consensus statements by the panel on imaging and image-guided intervention for Achilles tendon pathology are provided.

Breast augmentation is one of the most common aesthetic procedures performed in the United States. Several techniques of breast augmentation have been developed, including the implantation of breast prostheses and the injection of autologous fat and other materials. The most common method of breast augmentation is to implant a prosthesis. There are different types of breast implants that vary in shape, composition, and the number of lumina. The rupture of breast implants is the leading cause of implant removal. The rupture rate increases substantially with the increasing age of the implant. Most implant ruptures are asymptomatic. Implant complications can be grouped into two categories: local complications in the breast and adjacent soft tissue, and systemic complications associated with rheumatologic or neurologic symptoms. The onset of local complications may be early (infection and periprosthetic collections including seromas, hematomas, or abscesses) or late (capsular contraction, implant rupture, gel bleed, or breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma). Although mammography is the imaging modality for breast cancer screening, noncontrast breast MRI is the imaging modality of choice for evaluation of the integrity of breast implants and the complications of breast augmentation, for equivocal findings at conventional imaging, and as a supplement to mammography in patients with free injectable materials. The fifth edition of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) provides a systematic outline for MRI evaluation of patients with breast implants. Silicone- and water-selective sequences provide useful supplemental information to confirm intracapsular and extracapsular rupture. Breast MRI for evaluation of implant integrity does not require intravenous contrast material. The use of MRI contrast material in patients with breast augmentation is indicated when infection or malignancy is suspected. Radiologists should have a thorough understanding of the different techniques for breast augmentation, normal imaging features, and complications specific to breast augmentation. An invited commentary by Ojeda-Fournier is available online. ©RSNA, 2022.

Penile fracture is the sudden rupture of the tunica albuginea of an erect penis due to blunt trauma. It is an uncommon uropathology which characteristically occurs when one or both of the turgid penile corpora cavernosa forcefully snap under an abrupt blunt trauma, usually during an aggressive sexual intercourse or noncoital manipulation. In the majority of cases, diagnosis is clinical. Surgical repair irrespective of the time of presentation results in accelerated recovery, reduced morbidity, and fewer short and long-term complication rates. We report the case of a 35-year-old banker who sustained a bilateral rupture of the tunica albuginea without urethral injury during a heterosexual intercourse. He presented 7 days after the trauma to our facility following the persistence of symptoms despite conservative management with herbal medicine. Following a clinical diagnosis of penile fracture, he had penile exploration under regional anesthesia using a degloving subcoronal incision. He subsequently had repair of both corporal tear after clot evacuation. The postoperative period was uneventful, and he was discharged on the 3rd day after the surgery. He had been followed up for 2 years with good erectile and functional outcomes. This case report reiterates the fact that late presentation is not a barrier to surgical management and good outcome.
Résumé La fracture pénile est la rupture soudaine de l'albuginea tunica d'un pénis en érection en raison d'un traumatisme contondant. C'est une uropathologie rare qui se produit typiquement quand un ou les deux de la cavernosa penile turgid de corpora s'enclenchent avec force sous un trauma émoussé brusque, habituellement pendant un rapport sexuel agressif ou une manipulation noncoital. Dans la majorité des cas, le diagnostic est clinique. La réparation chirurgicale indépendamment du temps de présentation a comme résultat le rétablissement accéléré, la morbidité réduite, et moins de taux à court et à long terme de complication. Nous rapportons le cas d'un banquier de 35 ans qui a soutenu une rupture bilatérale de l'albuginea de tunica sans blessure urétrale pendant des rapports hétérosexuels. Il s'est présenté 7 jours après le trauma à notre établissement suivant la persistance des symptômes en dépit de la gestion conservatrice avec la médecine de fines herbes. Après un diagnostic clinique de rupture pénienne, il a eu l'exploration pénienne sous l'anesthésie régionale utilisant une incision subcoronal degloving. Il a par la suite subi la réparation des deux déchirures corporelles après l'évacuation du caillot. La période postopératoire était calme, et il a été déchargé le 3ème jour après l'opération. Il avait été suivi pendant 2 années avec de bons résultats érectiles et fonctionnels. Ce rapport de cas réitère le fait que la présentation tardive n'est pas un obstacle à la gestion chirurgicale et au bon résultat.

Métodos Estudo descritivo exploratório, abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvido com nove homens que respondiam a processo judicial por violência conjugal junto às 1ª e 2ª Varas de Justiça pela Paz em Casa de Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. A pesquisa ocorreu por meio da entrevista semiestruturada, tendo seu conteúdo gravado, transcrito e, em seguida, submetido à validação pelos homens. Os dados foram sistematizados com base nos passos preconizados pela análise de conteúdo temática categorial. Resultados O estudo revela que o afastamento pai-filho em decorrência da medida protetiva de urgência suscita no rompimento do vínculo paterno, fomentando o desenvolvimento de problemas psicoemocionais, como ansiedade, depressão e ideação suicida, muitas vezes somatizados e expressos desde cefaleia até condições que necessitam de cuidados hospitalares. Conclusão O comprometimento do exercício da paternidade viola também o direito de crianças e adolescentes ao convívio com a figura paterna. Deste modo, há grande necessidade de que a Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde dos Homens contemple uma gestão que priorize ações preventivas para a violência, assim como desempenhe acompanhamento psicossocial aos homens.

Abstract Objective To unveil the implications for men of father-son estrangement as a result of a protective measure for conjugal violence. Methods This is an exploratory descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, developed with nine men who were responding to a lawsuit for conjugal violence at the 1st and 2nd Courts of Justice of the Peace in Casa de Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The research took place through a semi-structured interview, with its content recorded, transcribed and then submitted for validation by the men. Data were systematized based on the steps recommended by the categorical thematic content analysis. Results The study reveals that the father-son estrangement as a result of an emergency protective measure causes paternal bond rupture, promoting the development of psycho-emotional problems, such as anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation, often somatized and expressed from headache to conditions that require hospital care. Conclusion The commitment to the exercise of paternity also violates the right of children and adolescents to live with their father figure. Thus, there is a great need for the Brazilian National Policy for Comprehensive Care for Men's Health to include a management that prioritizes preventive actions against violence as well as providing psychosocial support to men.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of Achilles tendon rupture and its trend has not been studied in Asia. The purpose of this nationwide study was to analyze the trend of incidence and surgical treatment of tendon ruptures in South Korea based on sex, age, and income level of patients, as well as seasonal variation. METHODS: A descriptive epidemiologic study was performed based on the data collected retrospectively from the Korea National Health Insurance Service. Data of all outpatients and inpatients were collected from approximately 52 million residents of South Korea, primarily diagnosed with Achilles tendon rupture from 2009 to 2017. RESULTS: A total of 112,350 patients had Achilles tendon rupture, of which 44,248 patients underwent surgical treatment during the study period. The overall, age-specific, and sex-specific incidence of Achilles tendon rupture and surgical treatment showed an increasing trend. Patients in the age group of 41 to 50 years showed the highest increase in incidence. Regarding season, higher incidence was reported during spring and summer, whereas the lowest incidence was found in winter. Higher income level was associated with increased incidence of the condition. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of Achilles tendon rupture and surgical treatments increased rapidly in patients between 41 and 50 years of age. Patients in the higher income quintile groups experienced more Achilles tendon injury than those in lower income groups, and fewer ruptures were observed during winter.

INTRODUCTION: Complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament is a major problem owing to inadequate surgery outcomes and the limited healing capacity of the ligament. This study aimed to summarise the evidence on the spontaneous healing potential of the anterior cruciate ligament in terms of fiber continuity based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. METHODS: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and MEDLINE databases were searched from their inception to November 1, 2020. Studies that analysed patients diagnosed with complete anterior cruciate ligament rupture were included. Further, studies that used conservative treatment as intervention and MRI finding as an outcome measure were included. RESULTS: In total, 9 studies, with a total of 734 participants, met the inclusion criteria. Knee laxity was measured in all studies. Two studies classified patients according to rupture location, where most ligaments with restored fiber continuity had proximal ruptures. All included studies reported spontaneous healing. Furthermore, none of the included studies reported the absence of healing. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review demonstrates the intrinsic healing capacity of the anterior cruciate ligament, indicating a higher healing potential for proximal ruptures. While our study reveals an emerging need to question general practice, a definitive conclusion could not be drawn owing to the low quality of the studies included and the heterogeneity of results.

Only seven cases of isolated unilateral rupture of the alar ligament had been previously reported. The authors report the first adult female case of this rare injury. The patient in their case, a 36-year-old female presented after a trauma due to falling, and at that moment, she had fainted due to a sudden pain between the neck and head. The radiological examinations [magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-rays] had been interpreted as normal. She had a positive Alar ligament test at the right side, and a thin section craniovertebral junction computed tomography was obtained which revealed an asymmetrically left-sided odontoid process and a new MRI revealed a right-sided alar ligament rupture. Thus she underwent a bilateral greater occipital nerve block together with pulse radiofrequency and trigger point injection at splenius capitis, levator scapula, and trapezius followed by the application of a halo orthosis to be worn for 3 months. The patient was found to be pain-free in the follow-up examinations. With pure unilateral alar ligament rupture, the atlantooccipital joint is not disrupted and the craniovertebral junction is not destabilized. To date, only eight cases of isolated unilateral alar ligament rupture have been reported one of which was a 25 years old male; all of whom presented with marked neck pain and treated by external immobilization for 4 weeks to 4 months and our case is the first adult female patient.

Injuries to the meniscus, particularly tears, can have significant negative impacts on pain, function, and quality of life. Preservation of the meniscus is favorable, especially in the athletic and active populations. While first line treatment is often nonoperative in nature, recalcitrant, and more complex tears, typically require surgery. Meniscus repair rates have increased significantly during the last 2 decades as surgical techniques and postoperative outcomes have improved. Longer postoperative timeframes are to be expected when compared with menisectomy, however, accelerated programs have demonstrated favorable outcomes. Rehabilitation and return to play guidelines should reflect the intricacies of the tear type and repair procedure. Close communication with the surgeon is a vital component to optimize patient outcomes. Further, the patient's goals and expected level of return to function, or sport, must be taken into account for a rehabilitation program to be fully successful.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the method and effectiveness of Wide-awake technique in flexor tendon tenolysis. METHODS: The clinical data of 16 patients (22 fingers) with flexor tendon adhesion treated by Wide-awake technique for flexor tendon tenolysis between May 2019 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were all male, aged from 18 to 55 years old, with an average of 35 years old. Among them, 4 cases (7 fingers) after replantation of severed fingers, 4 cases (7 fingers) after flexor tendon rupture repair, and 8 cases (8 fingers) after open reduction and internal fixation of proximal fractures. The time from the original operation to this operation was 6-18 months, with an average of 8 months. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate the patient's pain during local anesthesia (when the first needle penetrated the skin), intraoperative, and 24 hours postoperatively; and the recovery of finger movement was evaluated by total finger joint active range of motion (TAM) evaluation system and Strickland (1980) standard after operation. RESULTS: Intraoperative hemostasis and anesthesia were satisfactory, and the patient could fully cooperate with the surgeon in active finger movements. There were different degrees of pain during local anesthesia (VAS score was 2-4), no pain during operation (VAS score was 0), and different degrees of pain after operation (VAS score was 1-8, 9 patients needed analgesics). All incisions healed by first intention after operation. All 16 cases were followed up 9-15 months with an average of 12 months. Finger function was significantly improved, no tendon rupture occurred. At last follow-up, the patients after proximal fracture open reduction and internal fixation were rated as excellent in 4 fingers and good in 4 fingers according to the TAM standard, and both were excellent according to the Strickland (1980) standard; and the patients after replantation of severed fingers and flexor tendon rupture repair were rated as excellent in 4 fingers and good in 10 fingers according to TAM standard, and as excellent in 6 fingers and good in 8 fingers according to Strickland (1980) standard. CONCLUSION: Wide-awake technique applied in flexor tendon tenolysis can accurately judge the tendon adhesion and release degree through the patient's active activity, achieve the purpose of complete release, and the effectiveness is satisfactory; the effectiveness of tendon adhesion release surgery after fracture internal fixation is better than that of patients after tendon rupture suture and replantation.

Proximal hamstring injuries can present as chronic tendinosis, acute strain, partial tendinous avulsions, or complete 3-tendon rupture. Nonoperative management for chronic insertional tendinosis and low-grade tears includes activity modification, anti-inflammatories, and physical therapy. Platelet-rich plasma injections, corticosteroid injections, dry needling, and shock wave therapy are newer therapies that also may provide benefit. Surgical indications include complete, proximal avulsions; partial avulsions with least 2 tendons injured with more than 2 cm of retraction in young, active patients; and partial avulsion injuries or chronic tendinosis that have failed nonoperative management. Surgical management entails open primary repair, endoscopic primary repair, or augmentation/reconstruction.

BACKGROUND: Use of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) has been increasingly growing as an adjuvant in vitreo-retina surgeries. Some commonly encountered complications with its use include subretinal migration, formation of sticky silicone oil or retained PFCL in vitreous cavity and anterior chamber. Scleral rupture during PFCL injection has a rare occurrence. We report an unexpected event of scleral rupture during PFCL injection and discuss the management challenges faced by the surgeon. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66 year indo-aryan male was undergoing pars-plana vitrectomy (PPV) with diagnosis of subtotal rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) with Proliferative Vitreo-retonipathy (PVR)-B. After near total vitrectomy PFCL was being injected and then there was sudden poor visualization of fundus with development of bullous RD and globe hypotony. The surgeon was not able to figure out the cause of hypotony and air was switched on in the infusion cannula. This further complicated the situation resulting in migration of air in the anterior chamber, posterior dislocation of intraocular lens complex, 180° inferior retinal dialysis and ballooning of the conjunctiva which gave a clue of probable scleral rupture. Conjunctival peritomy was performed superiorly and scleral defect was noted. Intraocular tissue incarceration and air leak was visible from the wound. This confirmed scleral rupture during PFCL injection. Repositioning of incarcerated retina was not possible and retinectomy was performed followed by repair of scleral rupture with lots of difficulty in a vitrectomised eye. CONCLUSION: PFCL injection, a crucial step of vitreoretina surgery, should be performed slowly with extreme caution maintaining an optimal intraocular pressure to prevent devastating complications like scleral rupture.

OBJECTIVES: To compare re-rupture rate, functional and quality-of-life outcomes, return to sports and work, complications, and resource use in patients treated non-surgically with different rehabilitation regimens for Achilles tendon rupture. DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS: We performed a systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, Scopus and the Cochrane Library through May 2020 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that included patients treated non-surgically for Achilles tendon rupture. All analyses were stratified according to rehabilitation protocols. RESULTS: Eight RCTs with a total of 978 patients were included. There was no significant difference about re-rupture rate (P=0.38), return to sports (P=0.85) and work (P=0.33), functional outcome (P=0.34), quality of life (P=0.50), and complication rate (P=0.29) between early weight bearing with functional ankle motion and traditional ankle immobilisation with non-weight bearing. Similarly, no significant difference in re-rupture rate (P=0.88), return to sports (P=0.45) and work (P=0.20), functional outcome (P=0.26), and complication rate (P=0.49) was seen between ankle immobilisation with non-weight bearing and early weight bearing without functional ankle motion. CONCLUSIONS: Traditional ankle immobilisation with non-weight bearing was not found to be superior to early weight bearing with or without functional ankle motion for patients treated non-surgically for Achilles tendon rupture. Clinicians may consider early weight bearing in functional brace as a safe and cost-effective alternative to non-weight bearing with plaster casting.

BACKGROUND: The gold standard for patellar tendon repair is a transosseous technique. Suture anchor repair has gained popularity, with recent biomechanical studies demonstrating significantly less gap formation during cyclic loading and significantly higher ultimate failure loads as compared with transosseous repair. These findings have not been substantiated in a large clinical cohort. PURPOSE: To report demographic and epidemiologic data, clinical and surgical findings, and outcomes and complications of anchor and transosseous suture repairs of acute patellar tendon ruptures. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: All patients who underwent a primary repair of a traumatic patellar tendon rupture within 45 days of injury between 2006 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Surgery was performed at a multisurgeon (120 surgeons) multicenter (14 centers) community-based integrated health care system. Patient demographic information, repair type, complications, and time from surgery to release from medical care were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 361 patients (374 knees) met our inclusion criteria. The mean age was 39.8 years (range, 9-86 years), and 91.7% were male. There were 321 transosseous and 53 anchor repairs. There was no significant difference in the mean age (P = .27), sex (P = .79), tourniquet time (P = .93), or body mass index (P = .78) between the groups. There was a significant difference in rerupture rate between transosseous and anchor repairs (7.5% vs 0%, respectively; P = .034). Based on logistic regression, transosseous repair had 3.24 times the odds of reoperation verseus anchor repair (95% CI, 0.757-13.895; P = .1129). The infection rate was 1.6% for transosseous repair and 7.5% for anchor repair (P = .160). There was no difference in time to release from medical care: 18.4 weeks for anchor and 17.1 weeks for transosseous repairs (P = .92). CONCLUSION: Anchor repair demonstrated a significant decrease in rerupture rate when compared with transosseous repair. There was no difference in reoperation rate, infection rate, or time to release from medical care.
