Knee Joint Surgery

Background. Cutting nerve during operations like saphenous vein grafting and knee joint surgery are common surgical procedures.Objective. To report cases of dermatitis at the site of neuropathy following skin incision for saphenous vein grafting and knee joint surgery.Patients and Methods. This case report work was done in the Department of Dermatology, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, during 2009-2010, seven cases were recorded, six following saphenous vein grafting and one case after knee surgery. Five males and two females, their ages ranged from 50 to 66 (58 ± 5.033223) years. Detailed history and full clinical examination were done for each patient regarding all points related to their conditions.Results. All cases presented around 2-3 months following the operation with dermatitis at the site of operational incision. The dermatitis appeared on one side of the operational scar and at area of neuropathy, and the rash did not cross to contralateral side. The dermatitis was well-defined plaque or patch erythematous slight scaly and nonitchy and subsided within few weeks with or without topical therapy.Conclusions. Neuropathy dermatitis is apparently a new variant of dermatitis that follows nerve cut during surgery.

Aim: to evaluate the effects of intravenous dexamethasone on postoperative analgesia in patients after arthroscopic knee joint surgery in conditions of peripheral regional blockade. Material and methods: 60 patients were included in the study, divided into 2 groups. In the first group, patients underwent peripheral regional blockade of the femoral and sciatic nerves with a 0.5% solution of levobupivacaine. In the second, the traditional peripheral regional blockade was supplemented by intravenous administration of 8 mg (0.4% - 2 ml) of dexamethasone immediately after catarrhization of the peripheral vein. Results: The duration of the sensory blockade in the group using dexamethasone was 25% greater than in the first group. In the postoperative period, patients who were intraoperatively injected with dexamethasone required 33% less additional anesthesia. The duration of motor blockade in the group with dexamethasone was 26.5% higher than in the patients of the first group. Conclusion: intravenous dexamethasone injection with levobupivacaine peripheral regional anesthesia with arthroscopic knee joint surgery, increases the duration of the sensory block and the duration of postoperative analgesia. The use of dexamethasone led to a decrease in the need for additional anesthesia in the early postoperative period.
