Category: Ankle, Sports Introduction/Purpose: Lateral ankle instability is a common cause of disability in the active population. Although the majority of patients can be treated conservatively, surgical repair of the ligaments, with or without reinforcement, represents an excellent option for refractory cases. Failed primary surgical repair, recurrence of the ankle instability and need for revision surgery can rarely happen and is probably affected by multiple variables. That includes patient’s characteristics such as BMI and comorbidities and surgical aspects such as the use of suture anchors and soft-tissue reinforcement. The purpose of this study was to compare patient’s characteristics and complication rates of primary repair and revision procedures. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 231 patients (160 Female, 71 Male) who underwent surgical treatment for lateral ankle instability between 2010-2016. Thirty-two were revision cases (14.2%), including 24 females and 8 males, and 199 were primary direct repairs (85.8%). The mean age at the time of the surgery was 39 (19-65)years, and average follow-up was 9 (2-55) months. The procedures were performed by four different surgeons. All cases were reviewed based on age, gender, BMI, procedure type and number of incisions, comorbidities, and complications. Data found was compared between the two groups (primary repair and revision surgery) by T-test. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The Brostrom-Gould procedure was used in 69.5% of the primary repairs and 63.6% of the revision cases. The use of suture anchors was also similar in both groups (51%). Repair of the calcaneofibular ligament was performed in 68% of primary repairs and 81.8% of the revisions. We didn’t find significant differences regarding comorbidities between two groups: smoking (23.4% x 27.2%, p-value 0.371); diabetes (6.8% x 6%, p-value 0.951) and body mass index above 30 (28.5% x 24.2%, p-value 0.347). We found significant difference in the complication rate of the procedures, with a higher incidence in the revision group (48.4%) when compared to the primary repair group (24%). That included: sural neuritis (15.1% x 3.4%), superficial peroneal neuritis (12.1% x 4.5%), skin problems (9% x 7.4%). Conclusion: Our study of 231 patients that underwent surgical treatment for lateral ankle instability found significant higher incidence of complications in patients who had revision procedures when compared to primary repair. No differences regarding smoking status, diabetes and BMI were found.

Abstract Aim To examine the incidence of primary and recurrent repair and types of repair performed in patients with parastomal bulging. Material and Methods We linked prospectively collected data on parastomal bulging from the Danish Stoma Database to surgical data on repair of parastomal bulging from the Danish National Patient Register. Survival statistics provided cumulative incidences and time until primary and recurrent repair Results Of 1016 patients, registered from 2010-2017 with a permanent stoma and a parastomal bulge, 180 (18%) underwent surgical repair. The cumulative incidence of a primary repair was 9% (95% CI [8%; 11%]) within 1 year and 19% (95% CI [17%; 22%]) within 5 years after the occurrence of a parastomal bulge. For colostomies and ileostomies, we found similar probability of undergoing primary repair. For recurrent repair, the 5-year cumulative incidence was 5% (95% CI [3%; 7%]). The probability of undergoing further recurrent repair was 33% (95% CI [21%; 46%]) within 5 years. For primary repair, open or laparoscopic repair with mesh (43%) and stoma revision (39%) were performed almost equally frequent. Stoma revision and repair with mesh could precede and follow one another as primary and recurrent repair. Stoma reversal was performed in 17% of patients. Conclusions Our data offered a new and comprehensive view of the course of surgical treatment of parastomal bulging. Five years after the occurrence of a parastomal bulge the estimated probability of undergoing a repair was 19%. The probability of undergoing recurrent repair was high and stoma reversal more common than expected.

Aims To evaluate the outcomes of terrible triad injuries (TTIs) in mid-term follow-up and determine whether surgical treatment of the radial head influences clinical and radiological outcomes. Methods Follow-up assessment of 88 patients with TTI (48 women, 40 men; mean age 57 years (18 to 82)) was performed after a mean of 4.5 years (2.0 to 9.4). The Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), Oxford Elbow Score (OES), and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score were evaluated. Radiographs of all patients were analyzed. Fracture types included 13 Mason type I, 16 type II, and 59 type III. Surgical treatment consisted of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in all type II and reconstructable type III fractures, while radial head arthroplasty (RHA) was performed if reconstruction was not possible. Results At follow-up the mean MEPS was 87.1 (20 to 100); mean OES, 36.9 (6 to 48); and mean DASH score, 18.6 (0 to 90). Mean movement was 118° (30° to 150°) for extension to flexion and 162° (90° to 180°) for pronation to supination. The overall reoperation rate was 24%, with nine ORIF, ten RHA, and two patients without treatment to the radial head needing surgical revision. When treated with RHA, Mason type III fractures exhibited significantly inferior outcomes. Suboptimal results were also identified in patients with degenerative or heterotopic changes on their latest radiograph. In contrast, more favourable outcomes were detected in patients with successful radial head reconstruction after Mason type III fractures. Conclusion Using a standardized protocol, sufficient elbow stability and good outcomes can be achieved in most TTIs. Although some bias in treatment allocation, with more severe injuries assigned to RHA, cannot be completely omitted, treatment of radial head fractures may have an independent effect on outcome, as patients subjected to RHA showed significantly inferior results compared to those subjected to reconstruction, in terms of elbow function, incidence of arthrosis, and postoperative complications. As RHA showed no apparent advantage in Mason type III injuries between the two treatment groups, we recommend reconstruction, providing stable fixation can be achieved.

Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of Monteggia-like lesions at midterm follow-up and to determine whether the surgical treatment of the radial head influences the clinical and radiological results. Patients and Methods A total of 78 patients with a Monteggia-like lesion, including 44 women and 34 men with a mean age of 54.7 years (19 to 80), were available for assessment after a mean 4.6 years (2 to 9.2). The outcome was assessed using the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), Oxford Elbow Score (OES), Mayo Modified Wrist Score (MMWS), and The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score. Radiographs were analyzed for all patients. A total of 12 Mason type I, 16 type II, and 36 type III fractures were included. Surgical treatment consisted of screw fixation for all type II and reconstructable type III fractures, while radial head arthroplasty (RHA) or excision was performed if reconstruction was not possible. Results The mean MEPS was 88.9 (40 to 100), mean OES was 40.1 (25 to 48), mean MMWS was 88.1 (50 to 100), mean DASH score was 14.7 (0 to 60.2), and mean movement was 114° (sd 27) in extension/flexion and 155° (sd 37) in pronation/supination. Mason III fractures, particularly those with an associated coronoid fracture treated with RHA, had a significantly poorer outcome. Suboptimal results were also identified in patients who had degenerative changes or heterotopic ossification on their latest radiograph. In contrast, all patients with successful radial head reconstruction or excision had a good outcome. Conclusion Good outcomes can be achieved in Monteggia-like lesions with Mason II and III fractures, when reconstruction is possible. Otherwise, RHA is a reliable option with satisfactory outcomes, especially in patients with ligamenteous instability. Whether the radial head should be excised remains debatable, although good results were achieved in patients with ligamentous stability and in those with complications after RHA.
