Reorganization of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute during the COVID-19 outbreak

Several metals are used for orthopaedic implants. The bibliometric analysis had been conducted to understand the active authors, organizations, journals, and countries involved in the research domain of “orthopaedic implants”. All published articles related to “orthopaedic implants” from “Scopus”, were analyzed using the VOS viewer to develop analysis tables and visualization maps. This article had set the objective to consolidate the scientific literature regarding “orthopaedic implants” and also to find out the trends related to the same. The most active journals in this research domain were the Biomaterials. The most active country was the United States of America. The leading organization engaged in research regarding Orthopaedic implants was the IRCCS Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, Bologna of Italy. The most active authors who had made valuable contributions related to dental implants were Arciola C.R and Webster T.J.

The program of blood saving, result of 15 years of experience, includes predeposit (1977) hemodilution (1979) intra (1984) and postoperative (1985) salvage, careful intra and postoperative bleeding control, use of homologous transfusion only in case of intolerated anaemia even for 7-8g/dl Hb values. The use of autologous compared to homologous transfusion passed from 19% in 1984 to 62% in 1992. In 1992 in the surgical division of the 1st Anaesthesia and Intensive Care unit, 414 patients underwent prosthetic hip and knee surgery, 8% of these patients were homologously transfused.

Of 255 cases of Ewing's sarcoma recorded at the Bone Tumor Center of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, 78 patients (irradiated and with a follow-up of longer than 3 years) were considered « at risk » for the development of a second radio-induced sarcoma (RIS). Three of the 78 patients developed an RIS in the irradiated field. Theoretical and statistical analyses were carried out considering different modalities of local treatment. Statistically, the only significant factor was related to the irradiation dose. Surgical resection seems to prevent RIS.

Valentine Leukocidin

This report focuses on the molecular characterization of a Staphylococcus aureus strain isolated from a knee arthroprosthesis infection and recognized retrospectively as a carrier of the Panton-Valentine leukocidin gene. The stored microbiological isolate, which belonged to the strain collection of the Research Unit on Implant Infections of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, was retrieved for molecular analysis. Genotyping was carried out, revealing an interesting profile. In addition to the positivity for the Panton-Valentine toxin gene, the results indicated that the isolate belonged to the agr III group and was endowed with bbp and cna genes, both encoding for staphylococcal adhesins that bind bone proteins. The strain had the mecA gene for methicillin resistance, even though it was unable to resist any of the β-lactam or other antibiotics. Its gene configuration matched that of other community-acquired methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA and CA-MSSA) strains which have recently been reported worldwide. As far as we know, this is the first report on a PVL-positive S. aureus strain associated with an orthopedic implant (knee arthroprosthesis) infection.

Frozen Plasma

At the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, as part of our autotransfusion program, we have recently had the possibility to introduce plasma predeposit by means of productive plasmapheresis in patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery, in which bleeding more than 50-60% of circulating blood mass was expected and so a greater quantity of plasma compared to red blood cells was considered necessary. Red cells and fresh frozen plasma predeposits and perioperative blood recovery was sufficient to cover transfusional needs. In our opinion, plasma predepositing by plasmapheresis is indicated in patients with anaemia, cardiopathy and/or vasculopathy, minute constitution.

Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute

The clinical courses of 193 patients with high-grade, non-metastatic osteosarcoma were reviewed to ascertain the evolution of the natural history of the disease. All patients had the primary lesion in the extremities and were treated at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute between 1976 and 1982 with surgery alone (30 cases) or surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy (163 cases). All patients were regularly followed at our Institute. One hundred and fourteen patients, of which 27 were treated with surgery alone and 87 treated with adjuvant chemotherapy, developed overt metastatic disease. No differences were found concerning the sites of the first relapse which, for approximately 90 % of cases, were lungs in both groups. However, in the group of patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy the development of overt metastatic disease, as compared to non-adjuvant patients, was delayed with time (13 vs 8 months) and the number of metastatic nodules in the lung at first relapse was reduced. This alteration in metastatic pattern due to adjuvant chemotherapy is important because it allows surgical resection of pulmonary metastases in a larger number of patients (51 % vs 29 %).
