Spinal Implants Can Be Retained in Patients with Deep Spine Infection: A Cohort Study: 深層脊椎感染的患者可以保留脊柱植入物 - 一項隊列研究
ConclusionImplant removal is not always necessary in cases of deep spine infection as retention of implants is not associated with higher mortality, relapse, or reoperation rates.中 文 摘 要背景/目的目前還不清楚是否需要在已有脊柱內固定植入物發生深層脊椎感染時將脊柱植入物移除。這項研究比較了有移除或沒有移除脊柱植入物的患者之間的死亡率、復發率和再手術率。方法回顧性分析20例受試者。比較植入物去除和未去除組別的基線特徵。以多變量邏輯和預測因子將兩組別每個確定的結果測量進行比較。結果...

Clinical, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Arthroscopic Correlation in Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscal Injuries of the Knee: 膝關節前交叉韌帶和半月板損傷的臨床、磁共振成像和關節鏡的相關性
ConclusionIn conclusion, the present study supports that clinical diagnosis is of primary necessity, as the positive predictive value is high for all the lesions. MRI is an additional diagnosing tool for ligament and meniscal injuries of the knee. Routine use of MRI to confirm the diagnosis is not indicated, as the positive predictive value is low, but can be used to exclude pathology, as the negative predictive value is high for all the lesions.中 文 摘 要背景研究的目的是比較和相關膝關節前交叉韌帶和半月板損傷的臨床、磁共振成像和關節鏡檢查結果。方法從2014年9月至2016年...

Distal tibia metaphyseal fractures: Which is better, intra-medullary nailing or minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis?
ConclusionThus we conclude that intramedullary nailing is better choice of implant in patients with extra- articular distal tibia fractures & helps in early weight bearing and ambulation of patient with fewer complications.中 文 摘 要引言:脛骨骨折是骨科醫生遇到的最常見的長骨骨折;脛骨骨折中,遠端骨折比較中段三分之一骨折的發生率少,居第二位。由於其接近踝關節及其表面位置,脛骨遠端骨折是獨特的,被認為是治療難度最大的骨折。 本研究的目的是比較兩種脛骨遠端骨折內固定手術治療:髓內釘和微創鋼板內固...

Open reduction internal fixation versus external fixation with limited internal fixation for displaced comminuted closed pilon fractures: A randomised prospective study
ConclusionSoft tissue integrity and fracture comminution seem to have a significant influence on outcomes of intervention. A prospective multicentre study with a larger sample size that controls for other associated variables and comorbidities is warranted.Level of evidenceLevel II.中文摘要背景Pilon骨折涉及脛骨遠端關節面的圓頂。高能量Pilon骨折的最佳治療方法仍然存在爭議。 一些作者主張使用開放復位和內固定(ORIF)來避免關節不一致。 其他作者主張用橋接外固定和有限內固定(EFLIF)來減少軟組織並發症。 比較ORIF和EFLIF在高能量骨折中的...

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Mimics Infected Total Knee Arthroplasty: 非何傑金氏淋巴癌模仿全膝關節置換感染
We report a case of non-Hodgkin lymphoma mimicking an infected total knee arthroplasty. A 73-year-old woman who received left total knee replacement presented with fever and a discharging sinus over her left knee 12 weeks after surgery. The diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection was made and a two-stage revision arthroplasty planned. After implant removal and insertion of an antibiotic spacer in the first-stage operation, culture results of all intraoperative specimens were negative but the pathology report showed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. She then received chemotherapy and a second-stage reconstruction operation. T...

Surgical Techniques of Using Direct Anterior Approach and Bridging Plate Fixation of Periprosthetic Fracture of an Arthrodesed Hip: A Case Report: 通過直接前路及橋狀鋼板固定手術治療伴有髖關節融合的近端股骨人工假體周圍骨折:一病例報告
We present a case of a 65-year-old woman with traumatic periprosthetic fracture of left proximal femur with ipsilateral arthrodesed hip and cobra plate in-situ. It imposes challenges on achievement of stable fixation for fracture management and preservation of blood supply for fracture healing. Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis through direct anterior approach was executed with intraoperative templating. Anterior bridging plating using pre-bent reverse distal femoral locking compression plate (less invasive stabilisation system) was performed successfully. The patient had a fracture union in 10 months and returned t...

Total Elbow Arthroplasty Gives Good Functional Outcome in Distal Humerus Fracture with Pre-existing Chronic Elbow Dislocation: 全肘關節置換對患有長期肘關節脫位的遠端肱骨骨折提供良好的功能結果
We present a case of an 86-year-old woman who suffered from acute distal humerus fracture in the presence of chronic elbow deformity from elbow dislocation since childhood at the age of 10 years. This was treated with TEA using Coonrad/Morrey prosthesis with long stem and long flange humerus components and cerclage wiring of humeral condyle. Postoperatively, elbow mobilization was started early within a hinged elbow brace. There was no operative complication. At the last follow-up 22 months after surgery, there was no pain and good elbow motion (20–130° flexion–extension arc, full supination and pronation to neutral...

Twelve-year follow-up of a case of proximal femoral Unicameral Bone Cyst (UBC) treated by steroid injection using radiological and DXA scan data
This report is of a proximal femoral unicameral bone cyst in a patient presented at 3 years. Intra-lesional steroid injection was used to treat this large active lesion. The response to treatment was monitored with the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan as an indirect method of monitoring the activity of the bone cyst. The patient had developed stress fracture during the course of treatment which had remodelled fully after successful treatment with multiple injections; at 12-year follow-up, the patient reached skeletal maturity. The affected femur had remodelled back to normal radiological appearance witho...

Proximal hamstring avulsion injury in an ultimate frisbee player: Case report and literature review
We present the case of an elite ultimate player who suffered a proximal hamstring avulsion injury. A 26-year-old male athlete was evaluated in our office 2 weeks after being involved in a collision during an ultimate game. Magnetic resonance imaging of the hamstrings showed an extensive, high-grade right-sided tear with a 5–6 cm of tendon retraction and moderate signal in the muscle extending to the thigh. Delayed open repair of the avulsed tendon was performed through a posterior approach under general anaesthesia. Twelve months after surgery, the patient had no complaints, and his range of motion and strength had rec...
