RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the early-term effectiveness of Latarjet procedure with double EndoButtons fixation for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation by coracoid osteotomy with preserving coracoacromial ligament. Methods: Between January 2021 and June 2023, 19 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations were treated by arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double EndoButtons fixation, all of which underwent coracoid osteotomy with preserving the coracoacromial ligament. There were 11 males and 8 females, with an average age of 23.3 years (range, 17-32 years). Shoulder dislocations ranged from 3 to 11 times, with an average of 6.4 times. The disease duration ranged from 3 to 35 months, with an average of 12.9 months. All apprehension tests were positive. Imaging examination showed that the defect width of the ipsilateral glenoid bone was 13%-26%, with an average of 19.8%. After operation, the shoulder range of motion was examined, including flexion lift, lateral external rotation, extension 90° external rotation, and internal rotation. Shoulder joint function was evaluated by Walch-Duplay score, American Association for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (ASES) score, and Rowe score. Imaging examinations were taken to observe the position and shaping of coracoid. Results: All incisions healed by first intention and no nerve or vessel injury occurred. All patients were followed up 9-24 months (mean, 14.5 months). There was no recurrence of shoulder dislocation and the apprehension tests were negative during follow-up. There was no significant difference in the shoulder range of motion (flexion lift, lateral external rotation, extension 90° external rotation, and internal rotation) between preoperation and at last follow-up ( P>0.05). The Walch-Duplay score, ASES score, and Rowe score significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). Postoperative imaging showed that coracoid graft was at the same level with the glenoid in all cases; the center of coracoid graft was located between 3 to 5 o'clock. During follow-up, there was no glenohumeral joint degeneration, the acromiaohumeral distance was not reduced when compared with preoperation, and the coracoid bone gradually formed concentric circles with the humeral head. Conclusion: The Latarjet procedure with double EndoButtons fixation can effectively treat recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation by coracoid osteotomy with preserving coracoacromial ligament, and the early-term effectiveness is satisfactory.

Objective: To summarize mid-term effectiveness of modified arthroscopic suture button fixation Latarjet procedure for treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations. Methods: Between January 2018 and October 2020, 30 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations were treated with modified arthroscopic suture button fixation Latarjet procedure. There were 19 males and 11 females with an average age of 27.3 years (range, 18-41 years). The shoulder dislocation occurred 3-7 times, with an average of 4.9 times. The time from the last dislocation to operation was 3-10 days, with an average of 4.1 days. Glenoid defects exceeded 20% in all cases. There were 27 cases of Hill-Sachs lesions. The joint pain and function were estimated by visual analogue scale (VAS) score, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score, Rowe score, American Association for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (ASES) score, Walch-Duplay score, and the range of external rotation at 0° and external rotation at 90° abduction of shoulder before operation and at 1 month, 6 months, and last follow-up. The X-ray film, CT scan and three-dimensional reconstruction were reviewed to observe the position, healing, and absorption of the coracoid graft, correction of glenoid defect, and joint degeneration. Results: The operation time ranged from 51 to 79 minutes, with an average of 68.4 minutes. All incisions healed without complications such as nerve or blood vessel injury. All patients were followed up 36-60 months with an average of 44.6 months. The VAS score, UCLA score, Rowe score, ASES score, Walch-Duplay score, and the range of external rotation at 0° and external rotation at 90° abduction after operation significantly improved when compared with preoperative values ( P<0.05). All indicators further improved with time, and the differences between different time points after operation were significant ( P<0.05). Imaging review showed that the coracoid graft was located in the anteroinferior glenoid at 1 day after operation, and no occurrence of shoulder osteoarthritis was found during follow-up. The anatomical structure of the glenoid was normal, and no delayed healing or non-union of the coracoid graft occurred. At 20 months after operation, arthroscopic re-exploration was performed in 1 case due to fracutre caused by falling injury revealed the good shaping of the coracoid graft, smooth glenoid, and no bone resorption or osteoarthritis. Conclusion: For recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations, the modified arthroscopic suture button fixation Latarjet procedure can obtain good recovery of shoulder function and low incidence of complications and has a good mid-term effectiveness.

BACKGROUND: Traditional total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the direct anterior approach (DAA) requires a hip extension. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing THA with DAA using either the no hip extension (NHE) or the traditional hip extension (THE) strategy. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of demographics, clinical and radiological outcomes, and occurrence of complications was performed using data from 123 patients treated between January 2020 and November 2021. The patients were categorised into two groups: NHE (84 patients) and THE (39 patients). RESULTS: The NHE group exhibited shorter operative time and had more male participants with higher ages. Comparable outcomes were observed in the visual analogue scale, Harris Hip, and Oxford Hip scores at the final follow-up. Furthermore, complications were observed in the NHE and THE groups, including two and one greater trochanteric fractures and three and one transfusions, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to the THE, employing the NHE strategy during THA with DAA in elderly and young female patients resulted in comparable clinical outcomes with several advantages, such as favourable surgical time. The NHE method also exhibited good safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the NHE strategy may be a favourable option for elderly and young female patients.

Objective: To investigate whether the Runx2 gene can induce the differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) to ligament fibroblasts in vitro and promote the tendon-bone healing in rabbits. Methods: hAMSCs were isolated from the placentas voluntarily donated from healthy parturients and passaged, and then identified by flow cytometric identification. Adenoviral vectors carrying Runx2 gene (Ad-Runx2) and empty vector adenovirus (Ad-NC) were constructed and viral titer assay; then, the 3rd generation hAMSCs were transfected with Ad-Runx2 (Ad-Runx2 group) or Ad-NC (Ad-NC group). The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect Runx2 gene and protein expression to verify the effectiveness of Ad-Runx2 transfection of hAMSCs; and at 3 and 7 days after transfection, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was further used to detect the expressions of ligament fibroblast-related genes [vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), collagen type â , Fibronectin, and Tenascin-C]. The hAMSCs were used as a blank control group. The hAMSCs, hAMSCs transfected with Ad-NC, and hAMSCs were mixed with Matrigel according to the ratio of 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 to construct the cell-scaffold compound. Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay, and the corresponding cell-scaffold compound with better proliferation were taken for subsequent animal experiments. Twelve New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups of sham operation group (Sham group), anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction group (ACLR group), anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction+hAMSCs transfected with Ad-NC-scaffold compound group (Ad-NC group), and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction+hAMSCs transfected with Ad-Runx2-scaffold compound group (Ad-Runx2 group), with 3 rabbits in each group. After preparing the ACL reconstruction model, the Ad-NC group and the Ad-Runx2 group injected the optimal hAMSCs-Matrigel compunds into the bone channel correspondingly. The samples were taken for gross, histological (HE staining and sirius red staining), and immunofluorescence staining observation at 1 month after operation to evaluate the inflammatory cell infiltration as well as collagen and Tenascin-C content in the ligament tissues. Results: Flow cytometric identification of the isolated cells conformed to the phenotypic characteristics of MSCs. The Runx2 gene was successfully transfected into hAMSCs. Compared with the Ad-NC group, the relative expressions of VEGF and collagen type â genes in the Ad-Runx2 group significantly increased at 3 and 7 days after transfection ( P<0.05), Fibronectin significantly increased at 3 days ( P<0.05), and Tenascin-C significantly increased at 3 days and decreased at 7 days ( P<0.05). CCK-8 detection showed that there was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in the cell proliferation between groups and between different time points after mixed culture of two ratios. So the cell-scaffold compound constructed in the ratio of 1â¶1 was selected for subsequent experiments. Animal experiments showed that at 1 month after operation, the continuity of the grafted tendon was complete in all groups; HE staining showed that the tissue repair in the Ad-Runx2 group was better and there were fewer inflammatory cells when compared with the ACLR group and the Ad-NC group; sirius red staining and immunofluorescence staining showed that the Ad-Runx2 group had more collagen typeâ and â ¢ fibers, tending to form a normal ACL structure. However, the fluorescence intensity of Tenascin-C protein was weakening when compared to the ACLR and Ad-NC groups. Conclusion: Runx2 gene transfection of hAMSCs induces directed differentiation to ligament fibroblasts and promotes tendon-bone healing in reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament in rabbits.

Objective: To evaluate the short-term effectiveness of modified arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double EndoButtons for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. Methods: Between January 2019 and November 2020, 36 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation were treated by modified arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double EndoButtons. There were 26 males and 10 females, with an average age of 27.8 years (range, 18-36 years). The number of shoulder dislocations ranged from 3 to 12 times, with an average of 6.5 times. The disease duration ranged from 5 to 36 months, with an average of 16.2 months. Preoperative shoulder fear test was positive, and the Beighton score of joint relaxation was 0-4, with an average of 1.3. Imaging examination showed that the defect width of the ipsilateral glenoid bone was 16%-28%, with an average of 21.5%. Postoperative complications, recurrent dislocation, subluxation, and instability of shoulder joint were recorded. Shoulder range of motion was examined, including forward flexion, external rotation at side, external rotation at 90° abduction, and internal rotation. Shoulder joint function was evaluated by Walch-Duplay score, American Association for Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Score (ASES), and ROWE score. X-ray film and CT images were taken to observe the shaping of coracoid process graft. Results: All incisions healed by first intention, and no vascular or nerve injury occurred. All patients were followed up 12-28 months, with an average of 19.9 months. During follow-up, no shoulder dislocation recurred, and shoulder fear test was negative. At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in shoulder forward flexion, external rotation at side, external rotation at 90° abduction, and internal rotation when compared with preoperative values (P>0.05). The Walch-Duplay score, ASES score, and ROWE score of shoulder function significantly improved (P<0.05). Postoperative imaging examination showed that coracoid process graft was at the same level with the glenoid in 33 cases (91.7%), medial in 1 case (2.8%), and lateral in 2 cases (5.6%); the center of coracoid process graft was mainly located between 3 to 5 o'clock in 33 cases (91.7%), higher than 3 o'clock in 1 case (2.8%), and lower than 5 o'clock in 2 cases (5.6%). There was no obvious glenohumeral joint degeneration during follow-up, and the coracoid process graft gradually formed concentric circles with the humeral head. Conclusion: The modified arthroscopic Latarjet procedure with double EndoButtons can effectively treat recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation, and the short-term effectiveness is satisfactory, and the position of coracoid process graft is accurate.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) combined with arthroscopic surgery to treat medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and secondary arthroscopic exploration to evaluate the outcome of cartilage and meniscus. Methods: A clinical data of 57 patients with medial compartment KOA with varus deformity of lower extremities admitted between August 2014 and October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 23 males and 34 females with an average age of 51.2 years (range, 41-63 years). The disease duration ranged from 2 to 8 years, with an average of 4.7 years. The preoperative femorotibial angle was (179.86±4.69)°, the relative position of the lower limb mechanical axis passing through the tibial plateau was 24.21%±6.98%, and the posterior slope of the tibial plateau was (5.23±1.45)°. The Kellgren-Lawrence grade of knee joint was grade â ¡ in 22 cases and grade â ¢ in 35 cases. The preoperative Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, Lysholm score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were 59.1±7.3, 48.8±7.6, and 6.2±1.1, respectively. Arthroscopic exploration was performed during the operation to record the articular cartilage degeneration in the weight-bearing area of the medial compartment (Outerbridge grade â in 18 cases, grade â ¡ in 30 cases, and grade â ¢ in 9 cases) and the condition of the medial meniscus injury, and the corresponding treatment was performed. The coronal force line was adjusted according to the preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence grade of the knee joint during the operation. After operation, the relative position of the lower limb mechanical axis passing through the tibial plateau, the femorotibial angle, and the posterior slope of the tibial plateau were measured; the Kellgren-Lawrence grade of the knee joint was recorded; the Outerbridge grade of articular cartilage degeneration and the meniscus outcome were evaluated by combining with the MRI of the knee joint at 1 year after operation and the second arthroscopic exploration when the internal fixator was removed. The function and pain of the knee were evaluated by Lysholm score, HSS score, and VAS score. Results: All the 57 patients were followed up 36-58 months with an average of 42.1 months. Incisions healed by first intention, and no neurovascular injury, intraarticular or hinge fractures occurred during operation, and no postoperative complications such as deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs and internal fixation failure occurred. All the osteotomy sites healed at 3 months after operation. At 1 year after operation, the internal fixator was removed, and the second arthroscopic exploration showed that there were 15 cases of Outerbridge grade â , 31 cases of grade â ¡, and 11 cases of grade â ¢ in the weight-bearing area of the medial compartment, and there was no significant difference when compared with preoperative grade ( Z=31.992, P=0.997); there was no cartilage degeneration in other compartments. Meniscus healing was seen in the injured meniscus, and no injury was seen in the normal meniscus. At last follow-up, there were 19 cases of Kellgren-Lawrence grade â ¡ and 38 cases of grade â ¢, and there was no significant difference when compared with preoperative grade ( Z=49.049, P=0.764). The relative position of the lower limb mechanical axis passing through the tibial plateau was 59.16%±2.87%, and the femorotibial angle was (171.54±3.39)°, which significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.001). The posterior slope of the tibial plateau was (5.65±1.22)°, which was not significantly different from that before operation ( t=-1.673, P=0.096). The HSS score, Lysholm score, and VAS score were 82.3±7.7, 83.4±6.4, and 1.6±1.1 respectively, which were significantly different from those before operation ( P<0.001). Conclusion: HTO combined with arthroscopic surgery for medial compartment KOA with varus deformity of lower extremities can effectively improve the force line of lower extremities, relieve pain symptoms, and improve joint function, with satisfactory short-term effectiveness, and without significant progress in articular cartilage or meniscus injury after operation.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the effectiveness of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with autologous peroneus longus tendon under arthroscopy. METHODS: Between January 2016 and December 2018, 46 patients with PCL injuries were enrolled. There were 34 males and 12 females, with an average age of 40.7 years (range, 20-58 years). There were 43 cases of acute injury and 3 cases of old injury. The anterior drawer test and the posterior tibia sign were positive in 4 cases, the posterior drawer tests and the posterior tibia sign were positive in 46 cases, the varus stress tests were positive in 10 cases, and the valgus stress tests were positive in 6 cases. The difference of dial-test at 30° knee flexion between affected and healthy sides was (5.20±3.91)°. The tibia posterior displacement under posterior stress position was (12.03±2.38) mm. The Lysholm score of the knee joint was 36.68±7.89, the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score was 33.58±5.97, and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Association (AOFAS) score of the ankle joint was 97.60±1.85. PCL was reconstructed with autologous peroneus longus tendon under arthroscopy, and the combined meniscus injury, posterolateral complex injury, and anterior cruciate ligament injury were all treated according to the degree of injury. RESULTS: All incisions healed by first intention. Forty patients were followed up 12-26 months, with an average of 16.0 months. At last follow-up, the Lysholm score of the knee joint was 84.85±7.03, and the IKDC score was 87.13±6.27, which were significant different from preoperative ones ( t=-13.45, P=0.00; t= -39.12, P=0.00); the AOFAS score of ankle joint was 93.98±2.14, which was not significant different from preoperative one ( t=8.09, P=0.90). The tibia posterior displacement under posterior stress position was (2.75±1.76) mm and the difference of dial-test at 30° knee flexion between affected and healthy sides was (1.75±2.09)°, which were significant different from preoperative ones ( t=29.00, P=0.00; t=4.96, P=0.00). The posterior drawer test and the posterior tibia sign were positive in 1 case and negative in 39 cases; the anterior drawer test and the varus and valgus stress tests were all negative. CONCLUSION: Reconstruction of PCL with autologous peroneus longus tendon under arthroscopy can significantly improve the stability and function of the knee joint, with satisfactory clinical results.
