Histological and biomechanical study of impacted cancellous allografts with cement in the femur: a canine model
Sat, 30 Aug 2008 16:05:49 -0000
Abstract Introduction  An experimental canine model was used for quantitative histological study using bone morphometry and biomechanical study on impacted cancellous allografting with cement in revision total hip arthroplasty. Materials and methods  The prosthesis had a collarless polished titanium alloy tapered stem with a head diameter of 15 mm. Twelve Beagle dogs were used. Cancellous bone grafts were obtained aseptically from the femoral condyles of other beagles. Histological examinations were performed up to 1 year after surgery. Biomechanical examinations were performed at 8 weeks after surgery. Results  The new bone formation proceeded from the proximal part to the distal site of the femur in the long axis as well as from the host cortical bone to the cement layer. Bone morphometry showed that the mineral apposition rate was higher in the proximal site of the femur than in the distal site at 8 weeks after surgery, but no significant differences were observed at other times. The bone formation rate was higher in the proximal site of the femur at 8 weeks after surgery, while it increased in the distal site at 16 weeks postoperatively but had decreased at 1 year after surgery significantly. The load test at 8 weeks after surgery showed that there was no significant difference at all sites attached strain gauge between impacted cancellous allograft group and control group. Conclusion  We concluded that biological replacement of the grafted bone by new bone settled at 1 year after surgery in this experimental model. However, the process was not completed.

Outcome of total knee arthroplasties after renal transplantation
Sat, 30 Aug 2008 16:05:29 -0000
Abstract  The fate of total knee arthroplasty in renal graft recipients is unknown. We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of 16 total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed after renal transplantation in 12 renal graft recipients from February 1997 to December 2003. The patients (mean age 63) were submitted to a clinical evaluation using the Knee Society Score (KSS) and a radiological evaluation using the Knee Society Total Knee Arthroplasty Roentgenographic Evaluation. The follow-up period averaged 65 (range 25–107) months. No knee had to be revised and one patient died during the follow-up period. The mean knee score was 97.1 (range 93–100) and the mean function score was 87.7 (range 60–100). The alignments of the prosthetic components were correct for all but one patient who, however, kept a good knee score (95). No case of aseptic loosening or osteolysis was detected at last X-rays examination. We conclude that TKA is a safe and symptomatically effective treatment of knee osteonecrosis or severe osteoarthritis in renal graft recipients and should thus be proposed in this population when symptomatology becomes significant. Long-term follow-up studies are necessary to confirm this initial report.

Isolated posterior cruciate ligament injuries associated with closed tibial shaft fractures: a report of two cases
Sat, 30 Aug 2008 16:05:09 -0000
Abstract Introduction  Knee ligament injuries associated with tibia shaft fractures are usually neglected and treatment is delayed. To our knowledge, no case presentation discusses the clinical result of closed tibial shaft fracture with concomitant ipsilateral isolated PCL injury. In this literature, we report the clinical result of two cases that sustained closed tibial shaft fracture with concomitant PCL injury and discuss the treatment options. Materials and methods  We report the clinical result of two cases that sustained closed tibial shaft fracture with concomitant posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury. Case 1 received open reduction with plate fixation for the tibial shaft fracture, and he also received arthroscopic reconstruction of PCL with bone-patellar tendon-bone graft due to neglecting PCL injury 5 months later after fracture fixation. Case 2 sustained left tibial-fibular shaft fracture with isolated PCL injury confirmed by magnetic resonance image on the first day of injury. She received tibia fixation with intramedullary nail and conservative treatment with bracing and rehabilitation for PCL injury. Results  In case 1, the male patient only focused on fracture healing without any knee rehabilitation. His knee flexed deeply for protected weight bearing in the injured leg which may have exacerbated the posterior instability and reduced the possibility of PCL healing. The end result of knee function was poor even though PCL reconstruction was done later. In case 2, the female patient with diagnosed posterior cruciate ligament injury on the day of injury, her knee was immobilized in brace with full extension, which improved PCL healing. In addition, she received rehabilitation of quadriceps strengthening, and hamstring muscle contraction was avoided in her daily activity. After rehabilitation, the female patient did not complain of severe subjective instability even with an obvious posterior translation on posterior drawer test. Conclusions  We need to perform a careful physical examination of ipsilateral knee in cases of leg fractures, and MRI of knee before surgery if any doubt exists. However, a further research is needed to conclude on the best operation and rehabilitation program in patients with combined tibial shaft fracture and PCL injury.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: outcome using a patellar tendon bone (PTB) autograft (one bone block technique)
Sat, 30 Aug 2008 16:05:08 -0000
Abstract Objective  The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a patellar tendon bone autograft (one bone block technique). Method  We retrospectively evaluated a case series of patients who had received arthroscopic ACL reconstructions using patellar tendon bone autograft. Fifty-four (54) ACL reconstructions were evaluated at a mean of 38 months (range 25–62 months). Clinical assessment was made using a modified Lysholm score, documentation of International Κnee Documentation Committee (lΚDC), the anterior knee pain questionnaire of Shelbourne and Trumper, and by ΚΤ-Rolimeter arthrometric analysis. Radiographic assessments were also performed. Results  Arthrometric analysis showed that 51 knees (94%) were graded Α or Î’ with a median laxity of 2 mm, postoperatively. The Lysholm score improved postoperatively from 70 to 89. The patellar position in terms of congruence angle did not show any significant change, and the final shortening of the patellar tendon using the Insall–Salvati ratio was 6.07%. Only three patients complained of moderate pain on kneeling, one patient was unable to participate in strenuous works and one patient complained of harvest-site tenderness. Conclusion  It is concluded that the use of patellar tendon autograft with a single tibial-tubercule bone block and a strip of patellar periosteum have the advantages of being available and comparable in terms of graft size and strength and shows satisfactory results with reduced anterior knee pain.
