Percutaneous trans-pedicle screws represent a surgical option frequently performed in patients affected by thoracolumbar vertebral burst fractures (A3-A4). The aim of the study was to evaluate the early loss of kyphosis correction and its clinical correlations in a cohort of patients affected by burst spinal fracture treated with percutaneous trans-pedicle screws fixation.<br /><br /> The present investigation consists in a retrospective one center analysis. The primary outcome was the evaluation of the early loss of correction. Secondary outcomes were the bi-segmental kyphosis change, the clinical outcome and the correlation between clinical outcome and the loss of correction.<br /><br /> Among 435 patients 97 were included in the study. A mean 3.3° of early loss of correction was observed between postoperative and 1 month follow-up evaluations. The mean anterior vertebral body height change was 3.8mm. No statistical differences were found in clinical and functional outcomes between patients with &gt;2° or &lt;2° of kyphosis loss of correction.<br /><br /> No statistical differences were found between 1 e 6 months postoperative kyphosis loss of correction.

The neglected radial head dislocation might go unnoticed for several months, but usually becomes symptomatic at a certain point in time, posing a complex clinical problem. Management strategies for chronic Monteggia lesions have been proposed by many authors. A consensus therapy is nonetheless lacking. In recent years an increasing number of case series reporting the outcomes of various treatment options have been published to gain insight into this challenging pathology. The purpose of this review is to provide a general background on chronic, paediatric Monteggia fracture-dislocation, followed by a systematic analysis and discussion of various management strategies and their outcomes, described in recent outcome studies.<br /><br /> A literature search was conducted within the online databases PubMed, Cochrane Central, EMBASE and Google Scholar, to identify outcome studies on the management of chronic Monteggia lesions puable to promptly proceed to surgical treatment when chronic Monteggia fracture-dislocation is diagnosed.<br /><br />Due to the complexity of long-standing radial head dislocation and the unpredictability of outcomes in the treatment of chronic Monteggia lesions, early diagnosis and achieving a stable reduction, preferably in the acute setting, are paramount. Because of the tendency to obtain more satisfactory radiological and clinical results in younger patients, with a short injury-to-surgery interval, it is advisable to promptly proceed to surgical treatment when chronic Monteggia fracture-dislocation is diagnosed.<br /><br /> Simultaneous bilateral unicompartmentsl knee arthroplasty (BUKA) is considered safe and effective. We performed a systematic review to assess the postoperative outcomes.<br /><br /> The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were queried for publications.<br /><br /> Ten articles were included with 765 simultaneous BUKA. Overall complication rate was 7.0%, survivorship was 97.6% at mean 17 months follow-up. No differences were reported between simultaneous and staged BUKA.<br /><br /> Simultaneous BUKA is as safe as staged BUKA, it is associated with decreased length of stay and operative time, although it has an increased rate of blood transfusion.<br /><br />Simultaneous BUKA is as safe as staged BUKA, it is associated with decreased length of stay and operative time, although it has an increased rate of blood transfusion.Total knee designs have evolved to allow more motion with compromising stability. The purpose of this study is to compare standard congruency and anterior lipped liners' effects on patient reported outcomes after TKA. 68 patients were retrospectively reviewed, and their SF-12 and KOOS scores were assessed preoperatively and one year post-operatively. Two-sample t-tests were used to compare differences between groups. The CVD design had a statistically significant greater improvement in KOOS-Pain compared to CVD+. No statistical difference was observed in the outcomes. The results may suggest that higher congruency designs lead to less physiological joint kinematics and pain.<br /><br /> Medial-parapatellar-arthrotomy is the standard approach for total knee replacement(TKR). No studies have clarified the outcomes as quadriceps-strength-recovery (QS) and safety of Continuous-locking-suture-technique(CLS) for the arthrotomy-repair.<br /><br /> Patients were randomly assigned into a CLS(n=40) and an interrupted-horizontal-mattress(IHM, n = 40). QS, visual-analog-scale(VAS), modified-timed-up-and-go(TUGT) test, Western-Ontario-and McMasters-Universities-Osteoarthritis-Index[WOMAC] and Knee-Society-Score[KSS] were followed for 6 months'.<br /><br /> A significantly-shorter capsular-closure-time in CLS(233±40 VS 388±47sec)(p&lt;0.0001). There were insignificant difference in QS, VAS, TUGT, WOMAC and KSS during the 6-month follow-up period(p&gt;0.05 all). No wound complications were found.<br /><br /> CLS with braided-suture is safe and effective as demonstrated a recovery of the QS and knee function outcome comparable to IHM.<br /><br /> This study was registered in Thai Clinical Trials Registry on December 2015 (https//www.clinicaltrials.in.th).

The registration number was TCTR20151208003.<br /><br /> Aiming at an early identification of patients with an unsatisfactory outcome after hip arthroplasty we investigated the pre-, intra- and early postoperative predictability.<br /><br /> Using logistic regression models at nine different time points we calculated the area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC-AUC) to compare the predictability of an unsatisfactory outcome.<br /><br /> The predictability of unsatisfactory outcomes increased significantly from a ROC-AUC (95% CI) of 0.73 (0.62-0.84) in the preoperative setting to 0.85 (0.77-0.94) on day 2 after surgery.<br /><br /> Most of the patients with unsatisfactory outcomes can be identified during the first days after surgery.<br /><br />Most of the patients with unsatisfactory outcomes can be identified during the first days after surgery.
