Replantation versus transplantation: Where do we stand?
ConclusionWhile the risk of immunosuppression is a serious consideration for patients pursuing hand transplantation, in the well-selected and informed patient, hand transplantation can dramatically improve patient reported to outcomes and quality of life.

Targeted muscle reinnervation in upper extremity amputations
AbstractPurposeTargeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a relatively recent surgical innovation that involves the coaptation of major peripheral nerves to a recipient motor branch that innervates an expendable muscle target. The original indication for TMR was augmentation and optimization of myoelectric signals in the amputated limb for use of myoelectric prosthetics. Incidentally, surgeons and patients discovered that the technique also could treat and prevent phantom and residual limb pain. TMR is performed at the time of amputation or delayed any time after the amputation, and TMR can also be performed at any level of am...

A matched-control study on the impact of depressive disorders following lumbar fusion for adult spinal deformity: an analysis of a nationwide administrative database
ConclusionThis study illustrated that even after controlling for factors such as sex, age, and comorbidities, patients with depressive disorders had higher rates of in-hospital length of stay, medical and surgical complications, and total reimbursement.

Precision of the ultrasonography-integrated tibial extramedullary guide for total knee arthroplasty
ConclusionThe USG demonstrated higher precision in the tibial coronal plane than CAS in coronal alignment. Direct identification of the individual talus may enhance precision. (Source: European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology)

Suture button placed beneath plate fixation for complex distal clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular joint injuries: a technical note
AbstractPatients with complex distal clavicle and acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are at risk of loss of reduction, especially when plates are removed postoperatively. The purpose is to review the authors ’ preferred technique for treatment of distal clavicle and AC joint injuries utilizing combined suture button and plate fixation, aiming to optimize biomechanical strength of fixation and limit loss of reduction after implant removal. Pre-contoured locking plates or hook plates were utilized atop suture buttons to maintain reduction and optimize biomechanical strength. At final follow-up over one year after plate ...

Periprosthetic patella fractures in total knee replacement and revision surgeries: how to diagnose and treat this rare but potentially devastating complication —a review of the current literature
ConclusionPPPF is a rare but catastrophic event in TKA and rTKA, occurring mainly in a reconstructed patella. Patient-, implant-, and surgical technique-related factors contribute to its multifactorial etiopathogenesis. Prevention plays a crucial role in reducing the PPPFs rate. Conservative management is the treatment of choice due to high surgery complication rates unless implant loosening, or extensor apparatus disruption occurs.

Clostridium difficile colitis following geriatric hip fracture surgery: incidence, trends, and risk factors from 45,910 patients
ConclusionClostridium difficile colitis is a serious infection after hip fracture surgery in geriatric patients with an incidence of about 1%. Patients at increased risk should be targeted with preventative measures to prevent the morbidity from this complication. (Source: European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology)

Mid-term outcomes following reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
ConclusionIn this series, we found that rTSA provides mid-term improvements in range of motion in patients while reducing pain levels. When considered together, this demonstrates that most patients undergoing rTSA can have excellent use of their shoulder from age at surgery to end-of-life.

The polymicrobial infection affects the infection recurrence rate (not failure) in treating femoral and tibial bone defects with the Masquelet technique —a comparative retrospective analysis of 54 patients with mono- and polymicrobial infections
Conclusion Our analysis suggests that polymicrobial infection is associated with a higher risk of infection recurrence in treating the femur and tibia segmental bone defects with the Masquelet technique. This information can help surgeons to inform patients about this and give them a realistic expectation of the outcome and the possibility of reoperation.

Tibialis posterior tendon entrapment in posterior malleolar and pilon injuries of the ankle: a retrospective analysis
ConclusionIn our assessment, we found significant prevalence of 22% of TPT entrapment in fractures involving the posterior tibia. PMF and PLF had no statistically significant difference in the rate of TPT entrapment. Additionally, we found that there was a significant risk of TPT entrapment when the CT images display the fracture line entering the tendon sheath. We recommend that surgeons consider taking care assessing pre-operative imaging to seek to identify the TPT and to assess intraoperatively where entrapment does occur.

Gluteal compartment syndrome: who is most at risk?
ConclusionGCS is more likely to present in a young to middle-aged, otherwise healthy, male using drugs who is either found down or experienced an iatrogenic injury. Recognizing that GCS is different from that of the leg, in terms of etiology, may help avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment. (Source: European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology)

Surgical treatment of fracture sequelae of the proximal humerus according to a pathology-based modification of the Boileau classification results in improved clinical outcome after shoulder arthroplasty
ConclusionDue to of the variety of fracture sequelae of the proximal humerus, a modification of the Boileau classification seems necessary. This study shows that endoprosthetic treatment for fracture sequelae can significantly improve the shoulder function in elderly patients. Good clinical results can be achieved with a comparatively low revision rate following the treatment suggestions of the proposed subclassification of the Boileau classification.Level of evidence IVCase series.
