RESUMO

PURPOSE: This literature review aims to present evidence-based clinical recommendations for the eight most debated topics related to perioperative management in total knee arthroplasty: counselling, prehabilitation, transfusion risk, tranexamic acid, drainage, analgesia, urinary catheter and compression stockings. METHODS: A multidisciplinary team conducted a systematic review on these topics. The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for the literature review and result presentation. The research encompassed articles from 1 January 2009 to 28 February 2023, retrieved through the MEDLINE database via PubMed, Embase database and Cochrane Library. RESULTS: Forty-five articles were selected. Preoperative counselling has limited evidence for its impact on postoperative outcomes; yet, it can help alleviate surgery-related anxiety and manage postoperative symptoms. Prehabilitation can also prepare patients for surgery, reducing hospital stays and improving postsurgery functionality. Numerous studies suggest that preoperative Hb levels are independently linked to transfusion risk, with a recommended level of 13 g/dL. Combining intravenous and local tranexamic acid administration is strongly advised to reduce perioperative blood loss, while drainage after primary total knee arthroplasty offers no functional advantages. Employing a multimodal analgesia approach yields better results with reduced opioid usage. Indwelling urinary catheters provide no benefit and avoiding them can lower the risk of urinary tract infections. As for compression stockings, there is insufficient evidence in the literature to support their efficacy in preventing venous thromboembolism. CONCLUSION: The best-track protocol has demonstrated its efficacy in reducing hospitalisation time and perioperative/postoperative complications. It is success relies on a collaborative, resource-adaptive approach led by a multidisciplinary team. Both patients and hospitals benefit from this approach, as it enhances care quality and lowers costs. Several studies have highlighted the significance of a patient-centred approach in achieving high-quality care. Creating a novel treatment protocol could be a prospective goal in the near future. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.

RESUMO

Allografts are the second most transplanted tissue in medicine after blood and are now increasingly used for both primary and revision surgery. Allografts have the advantages of lower donor site morbidity, availability of multiple grafts, and shorter operative time. The Banks represents the bridge between Donor and Recipient and guarantees the quality and safety of the distributed allografts Given the increasing interest in these tissues, a retrospective analysis of data collected from the Regional Musculoskeletal Tissue Bank registry over an 11-year period (2009-2019) was conducted. The statistical analyses used were the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and a Poisson regression model. From January 2009 to December 2019, a total of 14,199 musculoskeletal tissues stored in the Regional Musculoskeletal Tissue Bank were provided for surgical allograft procedures. In 2009, the number of allografts performed was 925; this figure has steadily increased to 1599 in 2019. Epiphyses were taken as the reference tissue with an almost constant trend over the period, while a significant increase was denoted for extensor mechanism allograft, ligaments, tendons and long bone corticals (p < 0.001), processed bone tissues had no change in trend (p = 0.841). There was also a gradual decrease in the rate of microbiological positivity, as determined by bacteriological and serological tests performed on the collected tissues. This phenomenon is due to improved sampling techniques and the training of a dedicated team. Thus, we have seen how the use of allografts in orthopedic surgery has increased over the past 11 years, uniformly in terms of tissue type, except for the noticeable increase in ligamentous tissue.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), a commonly used procedure in spine surgery, has the advantage of a lower incidence of nerve lesions compared to the posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) technique. The intersomatic arthrodesis has always been carried out with a single tantalum cage normally used for PLIF. Tantalum is a metal that is particularly used in orthopedic surgery. It has a modulus of elasticity similar to marrow and leads to high primary stability of the implant. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Our study was a retrospective monocentric observational study evaluating clinical and radiological outcomes of tantalum cages in a modified TLIF technique with posterior instrumentation and autologous and/or homologous posterolateral bone grafting. The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and the increase in or redistribution of lumbar lordosis. The intersomatic arthrodesis was always carried out with a single tantalum cage normally used for PLIF to reduce the neurological risk. We retrospectively studied 105 patients who were treated with a modified unilateral TLIF approach by two surgeons between 2013 and 2018. We evaluated the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for back pain, global lumbar lordosis, lordosis of L4-sacrum, segmental lordosis of functional motion units that underwent arthrodesis, pelvic tilt, pelvic incidence, and the sacral slope in 77 patients. All patients were suffering from grade III or IV Pfirrmann, instability, or foraminal post-laminectomy stenosis and/or grade I-II degenerative spondylolisthesis or low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis. They had no significant sagittal imbalance, with a sagittal vertical axis (SVA) of < 5 mm. The average follow-up duration was 30 months. RESULTS: We achieved excellent clinical results, with only four cases of failure (5.2%). Moreover, we noticed a statistically significant redistribution of lumbar lordosis, with an average percentage increase in L4-S1 lordosis equal to 19.9% (P < 0.001), an average increase in the L4-S1/Lumbar lordosis (LL) ratio from 0.53 to 0.63 (P < 0.001), and a mean percentage increase in sacral slope equal to 7.6% (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Thanks to the properties of tantalum, our modified single-portal TLIF technique is a valid surgical solution to obtain a solid arthrodesis and restore the correct lumbar lordosis distribution while reducing neurological complications and the number of failures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 Trial registration statement: retrospective observational study, no trial registration.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To present the mid- to long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of a series of patients who underwent revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with doubled gracilis and semitendinosus (DGST) autograft and a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET). METHODS: Patients who underwent revision ACL reconstruction with DGST and LET by a single surgeon between January 1997 and December 2013 were included. Revision was indicated by ACL failure noted on magnetic resonance imaging, persistent clinical instability, or laxity on clinical exam. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and at latest follow-up by an independent board-certified orthopaedic surgeon. Outcomes included Lachman and pivot shift tests, validated clinical and patient reported outcomes scores, and radiographic analysis. The presence of previous meniscectomy or chondral injury was recorded intraoperatively. RESULTS: A total of 118/132 potential patients (89.4%) was available for follow-up at a mean 10.6 years (3-19 years) postoperatively. Lachman and pivot shift examinations as well as the side-to-side difference on an KT-1000 arthrometer demonstrated significant improvement at latest follow-up (P < .05) versus preoperative evaluation. Severe degenerative disease was present in 25% of patients on radiograph and correlated with worsened clinical outcomes. Previous meniscectomy was the only risk factor analyzed that correlated with worsened radiographic grade. No patients had a graft tear based on clinical and/or magnetic resonance imaging evaluation, but 9 (7.6%) failed based on a side-to-side difference of >5 mm on the KT-1000, a grade ≥2+ on pivot shift, or report of continued instability. CONCLUSIONS: Revision ACL reconstruction with DGST and LET at mid- to long-term follow-up provides continued improvement in clinical and radiological outcomes from preoperative assessment. Meniscectomy was the only factor related to worsened radiological grades and clinical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.

RESUMO

This study evaluates the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) in patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) treated with in situ fixation, focusing on medium to long-term outcomes and quality of life. Its primary goal is to establish a subjective well-being cutoff, using subjective methods and the iHOT33 scale, for assessing patients in future studies. Additionally, it explores functionality differences between mild and moderate-severe SCFE, case series epidemiology and potential complications. A retrospective analysis of 63 patients (73 hips), treated for SCFE between 2000 and 2017 at our facility using in situ fixation, was conducted. These patients underwent clinical, anamnestic, and radiological assessments, with PASS determined based on iHOT33 questionnaire results and statistical analysis. The mean age at surgery was 12.95 years (±1.64, range 9-17), with an average follow-up of 11 years (±4.60, range 5-20). At follow-up, 87% of patients reported achieving PASS, with higher iHOT33 scores correlating to PASS. A cutoff of >68 on the iHOT33 scale showed strong predictive ability for assessing PASS (area under the curve 0.857, 88.89% sensitivity, 79.69% specificity). The findings indicate that 87% of patients achieved PASS at medium to long-term follow-up, with better clinical function than those who did not report PASS. The iHOT33 scale's effectiveness in predicting PASS, especially with a cutoff of >68, suggests this method's efficacy. Given these positive outcomes, including in moderate-severe cases treated with in situ fixation, this approach is considered a viable therapeutic option.

RESUMO

The development and diffusion of minimally invasive (MI) approaches have coincided with improvements in magnification systems. The exoscope will probably open a new era in new technologies in spinal surgery. This study reports a retrospective series of 19 thoracolumbar (T11-L2) burst fractures with anterior column failure and cord compression, treated with MI corpectomy and spinal decompression assisted by a three-dimensional high-definition exoscope (Video 1). Exclusion criteria were pathologic or osteoporotic fractures, multilevel fractures, and previous surgery at the site of the fracture. Three key indicators were recorded: surgical time, blood loss, and intraoperative complications. A questionnaire was administered to assess the users' exoscope experience with ergonomics, preparation, magnification, image definition, illumination, and user-friendliness, compared with the operative microscope. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting on exoscope-assisted MI corpectomy. This procedure permitted low blood loss and less surgical time without intraoperative complications. The exoscope offers clear advantages in terms of ergonomics, definition, and user-friendliness. Moreover, it is a suitable instrument for training and education, providing an opportunity for better interaction with other members of the surgical staff.

RESUMO

Objectives: During the last decades, spine surgery has grown exponentially. In spite of that, it remains a surgical specialty without a well-defined own certification. It is usually carried out, separately, by neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons, even if there is an overlapping of competence and skills. Materials and Methods: In our hospital, from January 2019, a systematic protocol called integrated spine trauma team protocol (ISTTP) was implemented to improve the management of traumatic spinal injuries in a multidisciplinary way. It is characterized by a specific algorithm from diagnosis to postoperative care. According to the new protocol, orthopedic spinal surgeons and neurosurgeons work together as an integrated spine trauma team. The authors analyzed, retrospectively, the results obtained by comparing patients treated before and after the application of the ISTTP. Results: The new protocol allowed a statistically significant reduction in waiting time before surgery and complication rate. Moreover, early discharge of patients was recorded. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that described a specific algorithm for a standardized multidisciplinary management of the spinal trauma with combined orthopedic and neurosurgeon expertise. Conclusion: Our preliminary results suggest that the application of our ISTTP leads to better results for treating traumatic spinal injury (TSI).

RESUMO

Ameloblastomas are benign odontogenic tumors but are locally aggressive, most commonly occurring in the mandible and in the third to fifth decade of life. The male-to-female ratio is approximately equal. Recurrence of ameloblastoma due to inadequate treatment is often described. Recurrences in the temporal area are very rare and are related to the type of primary treatment. The authors describe a case of ameloblastoma recurrence in the temporal area and review the literature regarding recurrence and treatment.
