Abstract

Introduction: Traumatic knee dislocation is considered an orthopedic emergency. Knee dislocations are relatively infrequent injuries. This injury frequently occurs from high-energy impact trauma. Neurovascular injuries can result in debilitating consequences if the diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Associated complications include degenerative arthritis, permanent neurovascular injury, and amputation. The poorest prognosis is seen in patients with knee dislocation longer than 6-8 hours before reduction.

History: The 25-year-old male patient presented with a history of a road traffic accident to the emergency department. The patient presented with swelling, pain, and deformity of the left knee and leg. Examination: On examination, the patient had tense swelling and tenderness of the left knee joint and leg. Visible deformity of the left knee joint is seen. The posterior tibial artery and dorsalispedis artery were not palpable. Active ankle and toe movements were absent.

Investigations: Plain radiograph was taken at the emergency department of the left knee and leg. X-rays showed anterior dislocation of the knee joint.

Treatment: After valid written informed consent, the dislocated left knee joint was reduced under sedation in the operation theatre and immobilized in the above knee plaster slab. Reduction of the knee joint was done within 4 hours of injury. Then the distal pulses were re-assessed. The posterior tibial and dorsalispedis artery was absent. Hence, MR Angiography of the left lower limb was done. It showed popliteal artery transection. So, the artery was explored and end-to-end vascular anastomosis was done. A knee-spanning external fixator was applied to the left lower limb. Fasciotomy was done for the tense leg compartments. After a week, the fasciotomy wounds were infected for which extensive debridement of the wounds was done and antibiotic beads were placed. Knee was mobilized with a gradual range of motion exercises and non-weight bearing mobilization with a foot drop splint. Gradually full weight-bearing ambulation was allowed.

Conclusion: Knee dislocation is rare, albeit a serious and potentially limb-threatening condition. The prognosis of knee dislocations is variable and is heavily dependent on the time interval between trauma and initiation of management. Immediate, timely, and proper management can salvage the limb, and amputation is not the only solution.

Abstract

Introduction: Ischiofemoral impingement is a cause of posterior hip pain and limitation in hip extension. The compensatory motion at the lumbar spine associated with limitation in hip mobility has been associated with low-back pain, and an increase of 30% in the load at L3-L4 and L4-L5 lumbar facet joint is reported in a cadaveric study involving simulated ischiofemoral impingement.

Case Presentation: A 66-year-old female developed low back pain associated with bilateral hip pain over a period of 12 years. The symptoms persisted despite 5 surgical interventions in the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints. Impingement between the lesser trochanter and ischium, with limitation of hip extension, was identified on the physical examination and imaging studies. The patient underwent endoscopic partial resection of the lesser trochanter bilaterally. The Oswestry lumbar disability index improved from 56% before surgery to 14% at the 17-month follow-up. Impingement between the lesser trochanter and ischium should be considered in the differential diagnosis of low back pain.

Conclusion: Ischiofemoral impingement should be considered as a differential diagnosis for patients with unsuccessful lumbar spine surgery.

Abstract

Background:  The term massive refers to a quantitative measure of the rotator cuff tears. Irreparable rotator cuff tear is indicated by ratings that qualitatively evaluate the repairability of the tendon. These two terms should be considered separately.

Methods: Between 2016 and 2022, publications in the last about 5 years were searched from Pubmed and MEDLINE online databases. The search terms (irreparable OR massive) AND (rotator cuff tear), (repairable OR massive) AND (rotator cuff tear), (massive OR retracted) AND (rotator cuff tear), (irreparable OR retracted) AND (rotator cuff tear) ”were used. For each search term, it was checked whether the title of the search term was mentioned in the title of the article, and whether the title and the content were compatible in the studies in which the searched term was mentioned in the title.

Results: Of the 934 scanned articles, 69 of them were evaluated in terms of study title and material-method compatibility. 22 articles with the term “massive rotator cuff tear” in the title were identified. It was seen that in 11 of these 22 articles (50%), the title and the material method were compatible and in 11 of them (50%) the title and the content were incompatible, and the term “massive” was used instead of the term “irreparable”.

Conclusions: We see that most of the studies on massive tears were actually done to emphasize irreparable tears. Since most of the massive tears are repairable, the quality feature of massive tears, which are in the group that poses a problem, as irreparable rotator cuff tear or massive irreparable rotator cuff tear should be emphasized.

Abstract

Background: Orthopaedic surgeons always stress the need for a proper implant patient match in trauma surgery. The implant incongruity causes discomfort inaccurate load sharing aseptic loosening. The present study was undertaken to get an interpretation of implant size as a template preoperatively to be used to prevent radiation during surgery decrease surgical complications by decreasing surgical time and get abundance availability of implant stock.

Materials and Methods: Qualitative data collection These data were collected from operated cases last 2 years of trauma cases

Results: The coin technique, preoperatively nail measurement, and the average length of the implant was collected to get an interpretation of implant size as template preoperatively to be used in trauma fixation abetted to decrease surgical time and radiation exposure.

Conclusions: Pre-operative measurement making template of intramedullary devices extramedullary devices by coin technique, preoperatively nail measurement and using mean data of operated cases reduces surgical time helped in reducing surgical complication and radiation exposure.
