Anticoagulant therapy in orthopedic surgery - a review on anticoagulant agents, risk factors, monitoring, and current challenges
J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong). 2024 Jan-Apr;32(1):10225536241233473. doi: 10.1177/10225536241233473.ABSTRACTOrthopedic surgeries are associated with high-risk of thromboembolism which occurs in 40% to 60% of orthopedic patients in the absence of thromboprophylaxis. Conventionally heparin anticoagulants were used for thromboprophylaxis and currently direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are widely used due to their minimal complexity. Anticoagulant use carries bleeding risk and requires optimal laboratory monitoring through conventional thrombin-based assays, anti-Xa assay, anti-IIa assay and contemporary ecarin chromogenic assay ...

3D-printed guides versus computer navigation for pedicle screw placement in the surgical treatment of congenital scoliosis deformities
CONCLUSION: Both techniques achieve the purpose of precise screw placement and proper correction of the deformities. In contrast, the 3D-printed guide-assisted screw placement technique showed advantages in terms of operation time, screw placement time, intraoperative blood loss and patient satisfaction with outcomes.PMID:38378476 | DOI:10.1177/10225536241233785 (Source: Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery)

Are sesamoids and proximal phalanx of metatarsus primus varus deformity of hallux valgus feet displaced? A radiological study
CONCLUSIONS: We agree with past findings that the metatarsus primus varus deformity is directly related to the failed medial metatarsosesamoid ligament. We also believe in the failure of the deep 1-2 transverse metatarsal ligament responsible for the sesamoid migration.PMID:38369475 | DOI:10.1177/10225536241233474 (Source: Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery)

The association between type 2 diabetes mellitus/prediabetes status and femoral neck bone mineral density in old adults
CONCLUSIONS: The association between a positive T2DM/prediabetes status and femoral neck BMD differed by sex among older individuals, with the association being further modulated by BMI. For women with a BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m2 or ≥30 kg/m2, T2DM was associated with a significantly higher femoral neck BMD, compared to the non-diabetes group.PMID:38366620 | DOI:10.1177/10225536241233472 (Source: Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery)

Risk factors for failure after rotational muscle flap coverage for prosthetic knee infections
CONCLUSION: Rotational muscle flaps for soft tissue coverage of the knee are often performed in limb salvage situations with poor survivorship from flap complications, reinfections, and amputation. When considering surgical options for limb salvage, patients should be counseled on these risks.PMID:38279963 | DOI:10.1177/10225536241230349 (Source: Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery)
