Acute non-displaced fractures of the scaphoid: earlier return to activities after operative treatment. A controlled multicenter cohort study
Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:07:48 -0000
Abstract Introduction  To investigate whether operative treatment leads to earlier return to previous activity level, 94 patients with the same number of isolated, acute, complete, stable and non-displaced fractures of the scaphoid mid-third were involved in a prospective, multicenter cohort study. Method  Fractures were either fixed with a cannulated screw or immobilized with a short arm cast, and followed for 6 months. Results  By 15 weeks, patients receiving surgical treatment returned significantly earlier to their full time work and home activities, as well as achieved significantly better results for functional status, pain, and overall satisfaction. However, complication rates concerning union and secondary operative management were higher. Conclusion  Operative treatment therefore primarily facilitates earlier return to previous activity level, as well as better functional status, less pain and higher patient satisfaction, yet conservative treatment seems to be safer and associated with a lower complication rate.

Fracture of the tibial bone block after posterior cruciate ligament allograft reconstruction using double cross pins
Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:07:47 -0000
Abstract  We report the fracture of the tibial bone block after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using double cross pins for bone block fixation in the postoperative period. The possible reasons include the size of bone block, direction of cross pin or the quality of bone block. This case emphasizes the biomechanical properties and failure of modes of double cross pin.

Passive navigation principle for orthopedic interventions with MR fluoroscopy
Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:07:47 -0000
Abstract Introduction  Of late, computer-assisted surgery has become a novel challenge for orthopedic surgeons. However, for orthopedic interventions magnetic resonance (MR) fluoroscopy is in its early stages of development. The authors have developed an innovative passive navigation concept, which is potentially applicable for many magnetic resonance image (MRI)-guided musculoskeletal interventions. With this method, no switching between different planes is required, since the cross-sectional modality of the MRI is used as a new navigation approach. Materials and methods  This method was mainly evaluated in retrograde drilling of artificial osteochondral lesions of the talus as an example of difficult navigation in drill placement due to poor visualization with X-ray and complex anatomy. To accomplish this objective, a passive navigation device was constructed and evaluated in nine cadaveric ankle joint specimens. Feasibility and accuracy of navigated drillings were evaluated. Results  The interactive high-field MR fluoroscopy and the passive aiming device allow precise drilling of osteochondral lesions of the talus, despite the complex anatomy of the ankle. Drillings could be performed with an accuracy of 1.6 mm. The drilling guide was safe and easy to handle. Conclusion  The MR-assisted retrograde drilling of osteochondral lesions may enable precise and safe treatment without radiation exposure. This passive navigation technique for MR fluoroscopy is potentially applicable for many orthopedic interventions and may present an alternative to other navigation methods. Especially, the treatment of pediatric and adolescent patients may benefit from the typical MRI properties.

Diagnostic imaging and unforeseen associated lesions in astragalo-scaphoid dislocation: a case report
Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:07:47 -0000
Abstract  A case of an isolated astragalo-scaphoid dislocation following a fall from a motorbike is reported. Due to the diagnostic obscurity of the full extent of the injury, computed tomography (CT) with 3D reconstruction was utilized to precisely visualize the articular condition and revealed the presence of small intra-articular bone fragments and calcaneo-cuboid subluxation. Furthermore, the detailed imaging offered valuable information for preoperative planning. Patient has healed without sequelae. In light of the good outcome in this case, we suggest utilizing CT with 3D reconstruction when there is a risk to overlook foot dislocation and potential associated lesions.

Expression of TRAIL and death receptor DR4 in Palmer type 2 TFCC lesions
Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:38:30 -0000
Abstract Introduction  Degenerative articular disc perforations of the triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) of the wrist are characterized by fibrocartilage cell loss and are often associated with ulna-plus situations. Apoptosis has been found to play a crucial role in fibrocartilage cell loss, however, the molecular mechanism and mediators are still poorly understood. Aim  The purpose of this study was to identify receptors to apoptosis in degenerative disc lesions. Patients  Included in the study were 17 patients with degenerative articular disc tears of the TFC (Palmer type 2C). Following arthroscopic debridement of the TFC, histological sections were examined to assess the presence of apoptosis. Apoptosis was determined using TRAIL and death receptor DR4 agonists for immunohistochemical analyses. The number of cells positive for apoptosis was then correlated with ulna length. Results  Cells positive for TRAIL and DR4 were found in all specimens. The number of cells positive for TRAIL was significantly increased in specimens of patients with an ulna positive variance (P = 0.040). However, DR4 was not significantly increased in ulna plus (P > 0.05). Both, TRAIL and DR4 positive cells were found to be evenly distributed throughout each specimen. There was no accumulation of any type of cells in any particular zone of the biopsies. Conclusion  This is the first study that shows that TFCC cells express TRAIL and DR4, which suggests that apoptosis, as well as, mechanical trauma are involved in the development of disc perforation. The TRAIL/DR4 receptor system is a molecular mediator of apoptosis induction in TFC cells and therefore plays a role in cell loss in degenerative disc lesions.
