Anatomic location of the first dorsal extensor compartment for surgical De-Quervain's tenosynovitis release: A cadaveric study
CONCLUSION: An incision that measures 3 mm proximal from the radial styloid, 2 cm radial from Lister's tubercle, and 5 mm proximal from the radial wrist crease will safely place surgeons at the first dorsal compartment.PMID:38709896 | PMC:PMC11045463 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i4.379 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Expandable endoprostheses in skeletally immature patients: Where we are
World J Orthop. 2024 Apr 18;15(4):312-317. doi: 10.5312/wjo.v15.i4.312. eCollection 2024 Apr 18.ABSTRACTApproximately 45 percent of malignant bone tumors are seen under the age of 16 and one of the important results of growth plate sacrification in patients with immature skeletons is limb inequality. Until the early 1990s, the treatment options for these patients were rotationplasty or amputation. Multimodal approaches that combine imaging, chemotherapy, and surgical techniques have enabled the development of limb-preserving methods with satisfactory results. In order to overcome inequality problems, expandable prostheses ...

Exercise promotes osteogenic differentiation by activating the long non-coding RNA H19/microRNA-149 axis
CONCLUSION: Appropriate treadmill exercise can effectively stimulate bone formation and promote the increase of bone density and bone volume in growing mice, thus enhancing the peak bone mass of mice. The lncRNA H19/miR-149 axis plays an important regulatory role in osteogenic differentiation.PMID:38680671 | PMC:PMC11045468 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i4.363 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Long-term assessment of collagenase treatment for Dupuytren's contracture: A 10-year follow-up study
CONCLUSION: CCH demonstrated sustained efficacy when applied to the MCP joint. However, caution is warranted for CCH treatment at the PIP joint due to a high level of recurrence and low patient satisfaction. Re-intervention is needed within a decade of treatment.PMID:38680672 | PMC:PMC11045466 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i4.355 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Safety of tranexamic acid in surgically treated isolated spine trauma
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that TXA is safe for isolated spine trauma. It is challenging to determine whether TXA effectively reduces blood loss because most surgeons prefer TXA for open or multilevel cases. Further, larger studies are necessary to explore the rate, dosage, and mode of administration of TXA.PMID:38680673 | PMC:PMC11045465 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i4.346 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Effect of weight-adjusted antimicrobial antibiotic prophylaxis on postoperative dosage and surgical site infection incidence in total joint arthroplasty

Currently, administration of antimicrobial antibiotic prophylaxis is used throughout the world to reduce the incidence of SSI. However, the correct dosage and frequency of administration remains debatable. In this editorial, we emphasized the determination of the effect of administration of weight-adjusted antimicrobial antibiotic prophylaxis regime on the incidence of SSI and pos...

Effect of inflammatory response on joint function after hip fracture in elderly patients: A clinical study
CONCLUSION: After hip fractures in older patients, inflammatory variables are risk factors for fair joint function; therefore, early intervention to address these markers is essential to enhance joint function and avoid consequences.PMID:38680675 | PMC:PMC11045470 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i4.337 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Investigation of contact behavior on a model of the dual-mobility artificial hip joint for Asians in different inner liner thicknesses
CONCLUSION: The contact pressures and von Mises stresses generated during this research can potentially be exploited in estimating the wear of dual-mobility artificial hip joints in general. Contact pressure and von Mises stress reduce with an increasing head diameter and inner liner's thickness. Present findings would become one of the references for orthopedic surgery for choosing suitable bearing geometric parameter of hip implant.PMID:38680676 | PMC:PMC11045469 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i4.321 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Mortality rate after total knee arthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty in patients with a history of liver transplant
World J Orthop. 2024 Apr 18;15(4):310-311. doi: 10.5312/wjo.v15.i4.310. eCollection 2024 Apr 18.ABSTRACTIn this editorial I comment on the article by Ahmed et al published in a recent issue of the World J Orthop 2023; 14: 784-790. It is well known that patients who have undergone a liver transplant (LT) may need to have a total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implanted. Ahmed et al stated that the mortality rate in these patients was similar to the one of the general population. However, there are three articles previously published that found higher mortality in LT patients who experienced THA/TKA ...
