An Overview of Recent Advances in Anterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion Surgery
Surg Technol Int. 2023 Dec 29;43:sti43/1732. doi: 10.52198/23.STI.43.NS1732. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) has evolved significantly in the last few years with the aim of enhancing effectiveness and safety while reducing hospitalization and healthcare-related costs. Transitioning from iliac crest autografts to allografts minimizes donor-site complications like pain, infections, and hematoma. Allograft options, such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and tantalum, vary in their osteoinductive properties and elastic modulus, influencing fusion rates, time, and the rate of subsidence...

Effect of Various Ancillary Operating Room Techniques on Wound Healing Outcomes After Total Hip Arthroplasty
CONCLUSION: Wound healing post THA is a complex process, influenced by various surgical techniques and intraoperative decisions. This systematic review meticulously examined three critical factors: the role of DVT prophylaxis, the implications of intraoperative drain usage, and the impact of different surgical approaches. Our analysis revealed that rivaroxaban and enoxaparin exhibit similar wound infection rates in THA. The decision to use intraoperative drains in the current literature indicates no definite advantage or disadvantage regarding wound problems with the use of closed-suction drainage in THA. In exploring surg...

A New Hinge Prosthesis Offers Ease of Use and the Ability to Retain the Revision Tibial Baseplate
Surg Technol Int. 2023 Dec 29;43:sti43/1746. doi: 10.52198/23.STI.43.OS1746. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely practiced surgical procedure, with its efficacy underscored by the increasing number of patients benefiting from it. As primary TKAs rise, the orthopaedic community must prepare for a surge in complex primary and revision knee arthroplasties in the future. While most revisions use non-constrained or semi-constrained prostheses, certain scenarios require a fully constrained (hinge) prosthesis to address major ligamentous and/or bone loss. Over time, hinge designs have evolved, ...

Endoscopic Gastric Plication: A Flexible and Tailored Alternative to Bariatric Surgery
CONCLUSION: Endoscopic gastric plication is emerging as a safe, mini-invasive, and effective procedure alternative to sleeve gastrectomy in patients with I or II class obesity or for those unfit for bariatric surgery. The endoscopic suturing device can be used both as a primary procedure or as a revisional option after failure of the primary surgery, thus proving to be a versatile option to provide to bariatric patients.PMID:38171484 (Source: Surgical Technology International)
