NSAIDs for bone healing, bone substitute

Bone substitute的比較

把porcine femur cancellous bone,拿去和Bone substitue混合,放入含osteogenic medial去培養,1週後用電子顯微鏡觀察存活的細胞

發現
.β-TCP: 含有最多活細胞
.再來是Calcium sulfate
.再來是DBM: demineralized bone matrix
.最差的是HA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NSAIDs
.研究認為會抑制endochondral ossification
.但對於perimembranous ossification則較無影響

DHS的complication

同樣的小手術作久了,任何事情都可能發生..

1.Lag screw不夠深
2.entry point偏了,整個把anterior wall打爆
3.compression screw沒有鎖到底
4.impactor打太大力,整個medialization
5.

femoroacetabular impingement

Femoroacetabular impingement
.Limited hip ROM
.Progression to OA
.classification: cam or pincer type, most common: mixed type

Cam type:
.loss of concavity of proximal femur, femoral head aspherecity
.anterosuperior aspect
.Perthe’s disease, SCFE

Pincer type:
.overcoverage of acetabular rim
.DDH, post periacetabular osteotomy
.retroverted acetabulum

PE:
.Internal rotation < 20 degree on hip flexion at 90 degree
.exclude referred pain (inject bupivacaine into hip joint)

Image for cam type
.cross table lateral view (with hip 10 degree internal rotation)
.Dunn view
.α angle

Image for pincer type
.AP view
.Cross over view (crossing of ant & post wall line), posterior wall view (femoral head center lying lateral to posterior wall), ischial sign(ischial spine projecting into pelvic cavity)
.Coxa profunda

Others:
.CT: good for bone
.MRI: acetabulum rim, labral tears, fibrocystic change

Treatment: considerations
1.Physiologic age of patient’s hip
2.Joint narrowing 1-2 mm
3.The damage of subchondral-labral-cartilage structure
4.Severity of retroverted acetabulum
5.Associated proximal femur deformity

Treatment
1.Open correction with dislocation
2.Arthroscopic debridement w/o dislocation
3.Periacetabular osteotomy

1.Oepn dislocation
.for cam type
.expose head-neck junction, acetabular rim
.most important: preserve blood supply to avoid osteonecrosis
.trochanteric osteotomy, lateral to piriformis fossa
.adverse effect: sicatic nerve neurapraxia, trochanteric nonunion

2.Periacetabular osteotomy
.for retroverted acetabulum with posterior wall sign(+)
.anterior arthrotomy + surgical dislocation
.revision:poor orientation, anterior or posterior impingement

CMC joint, Rockwood 6th, Ch.24

CMC joint fracture dislocation: carpo-metacarpal
.high energy
.5th CMC: associated ulnar nerve injury
.3rd CMC: deep palmar archs
.shortening of Metacarpal bone
.Brewerton view: evaluate metacarpal base: 60 degree CMC joint flexion
.CT if suspected carpal bone fracture

Pure CMC dislocation
.rare
.evaluate its stability

Thumb CMC fx dislocation
.partial: Bennett’s fx, Complete: Rolando’s fx
.Thumb CMC: intermetacarpal lig, volar & post oblique lig, dorsoradial lig
.Pinning for thumb base fx:
(1) radial a
(2) superficial radial and lateral antebrachial n.
(3) extensor tendon (APL, EPB, EPL)
.Deforming force:
(1) APL: extension force in thumb metacarpal base (toward proximal & radial side)
(2) Adductor Pollicis: adduction force on thumb metacarpal head (adduction and rotation)

Non-OP Treatment
.stable, minimally displaced fx
.for displaced fx: poor satisfactory outcome,
.malrotation, varus deformity, arthritic change

Operative treatment
.CRIF: current strategy
.restore length, maintain reduction, at least 6 weeks
.ORIF: for delayed operation

Pure CMC dislocation
.reconstructed with FCR

Thumb CMC fx-dislocation
.Bennett’s > Rolando
.Step-off < 1mm, no difference in its outcome between CRIF or ORIF
.CRIF: more adduction contracture
.complex Rolando: severe comminution (complex operation for orthopaedic surgeon without subspeciality, minimal open + external fixation)

Author’s preference:
Pure thumb CMC dislocation
.immediate ligament reconstruction: not suggested
.primary capsule repair with 1.3mm bone anchor

Bennett’s fracture
.two pins: one toe trapezium, one to index metacarpal

Rolando’s
.distraction and maintaining length
.maintaining length: .062 wire fixed on 2nd metacarpal
.Plate & screw: early range of motion, adhesion to EPL, EPB may result in limitation of ROM
.Approach: Wagner’s incision (Incision → reflect thenar muscle → expose APL → arthrotomy

Complication: hypersensitivity
.small nerve fiber branch injury during trauma or operation
.neuroma formation
.Medication: Gabapentin, Amitryptyline

ABx-loaded product-from Injury

Prophylaxis and treatment of implant-related infections by local application of antibiotics
Injury 2006

Basic concepts for Implant associated infection
.Bacteria on implant: decreased metabolic activity
.Higher MIC was needed to eradicate organism when metabolic activity was decreased (Pseudomonas aeruginosa 800X if reduced metabolic activity)
.Local application, like ABx impregnated spacer, could achieve 1000x concentration or higher

These article
Prophylaxis:Cement bead, Antibacterial coating implant
Treatment:Cement bead, GM-loaded collagen sheet, ABx-loaded spacer

Initially
.GM loaded cement beads
.higher local concentration, no systemic effect, gradual release
.disadvantage: select GM resistant bacteria
.should be removed 4-6 weeks later (became foreign body)

ABx-coating implant
.Synthes
.biodegradable GM, Chlorohexidine
.reduce the rate of osteomyelitis
.pending large, clinical trials

ABx loaded collagen sheet
.PMMA beads: another operation for removal
.Collagen sheet: biodegradable
.disadvantage: short T1/2

ABx loaded spacer
.prevent soft tissue contracture, arthrofibrosis, instability
.disadvantage: expensive

subtrochanteric osteotomy for Crowe IV dysplatic hip

subtrochanteric osteotomy for Crowe IV dysplatic hip - JBJS Am 2009/09

Dysplastic hip: Crowe classification, according to its degree of subluxation (dislocation)

Crowe type IV: complete dislocation

True acetabulum: Better quality for Cup support
Without shortening: difficult reduction, sciatic nerve injury

THA with subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy:
.for cementless proximal ingrowth stem
.avoid change of anatomy of proximal femur

Surgical technique
.osteotomy site: 8 – 10 cm distal to tip of greater trochanter
.transverse subtrochanteric osteotomy
.autogenous cancellous bone graft over osteotomy site
.neck cut region: 1 cm proximal to lesser trochanter

Preparation of femoral canal
.reaming + broaching
.osteotomy
.implantation of stem
.lateral coverage for cup: superolateral femoral head
.osteotomized femoral canal: as cortical strut graft, fixed with Cable wire
