Background: Surgical techniques for resection of tumors at proximal humerus and scapula has been described in literature along with different classification systems, however, these techniques have not been revised for a while and the classification systems which are currently in use neither respect the difference between bone and soft tissue tumors nor the anatomical location humeral vs scapular. Material and Methods: The author operated on 32 patients with shoulder girdle tumors, all are bone tumors, Ewings sarcoma ([Formula: see text]), Osteosarcoma ([Formula: see text]), Metastatic tumors ([Formula: see text]), GCT ([Formula: see text]), Chondrosarcoma ([Formula: see text]). We assigned two separate classifications to humerus and scapula resection, since surgical approaches, techniques, and reconstruction options are totally different for the both sites. Resection of the humerus is classified into: Type I to Type IV, A: is added to the type when the majority of Deltoid is preserved, and B: when it is sacrificed. And we classify the scapula resection into: Type I to Type III, A: is added to the type when the majority of Deltoid is preserved, and B: when it is sacrificed. In extra articular humerus resection, we found that sacrificing the acromion and coracoid process is not necessary as part of routine resection. Preservation of these structures can improve the cosmetic appearance of the shoulder with at least equal functional outcome. Endoprosthesis was used in 26 patients for reconstruction, osteoarticular allograft was used in 2 patients, and Tichoff Lindberg technique for 4 patients. Results: At 30 month mean follow up period, 2 patients developed local recurrence (osteosarcoma [Formula: see text], Ewing Sarcoma [Formula: see text]), 2 patients had wound infection, and one patient developed stem loosening. The average MSTS functional score for all patients was 83%. Conclusion: The modification of surgical techniques saved structures which were unnecessarily resected, and kept the integrity of muscles and their attachments which were sacrificed in previously described techniques. This might lead to fewer restrictions during the rehabilitation process and resulted in preservation of the shoulder contour. The new classification system is realistic, separates the humeral resection from the scapular one, easy to be recalled and applicable to all patients.

Abstract Background: The common classifications of the fractures of the lateral process of the talus(LTPFs)are based on radiographs and may underestimate the complexity of LTPF, therefore, requiring a comprehensive classification based on CT(Computed tomography) scan. The aim of this study is to propose a such classification system, and to evaluate its reliability and reproducibility.Methods: On the basis of the most widely recognized classifications of Hawkins as well as McCrory-Bladin, we proposed a new and comprehensive classification based on CT scan for the LTPF. We retrospectively reviewed 42 patients involving LTPF. All fractures were classified according to Hawkins, McCrory-Bladin and new proposed classification system by three surgeons. The analysis of interobserver and intraobserver agreements was done using kappa statistics.Results: This new classification included two types based on presence of concomitant injuries or not, with type I consisting of three subtypes and type II of five subtypes. Interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the new classification system were almost perfect (κ=0.846 and 0.823, respectively),showing a higher interobserver and intraobserver reliability compared to the Hawkins classification (κ=0.737 and 0.689, respectively) as well as McCrory-Bladin classification (κ=0.748 and 0.714, respectively). Conclusion: This new classification system for the LTPF based on CT is a comprehensive classification considering concomitant injuries. It is more reliable and reproducible and can potentially become a useful instrument for decision making of treatment options for LTPFs. Further studies on the evaluation of their clinical relevance (especially the long-term outcome) are warranted.

Abstract Background Current classifications emphasize the morphology of the coalition, however, subtalar joint facets involved should also be emphasized.Objective The objective of this study was to develop a new classification system based on the articular facets involved to cover all coalitions and guide operative planning.Methods Patients were diagnosed with talocalcaneal coalition using a CT scan, between January 2009 and February 2021. We classified the coalition into four main types according to the shape and nature of the coalition: I, inferiorly overgrown talus or superiorly overgrown calcaneus; II, both talus and calcaneus overgrew; III, coalition with an accessory ossicle; (I-III types are non-osseous coalition) IV, complete osseous coalition. Then each type was further divided into three subtypes according to the articular facets involved. A, the coalition involving the anterior facets; M, the coalition involving the middle facets, and P, the coalition involving the posterior facets.Results There were 106 patients (108 feet) included in this study. Overall, 8 feet (7.5%) were classified as type I, 75 feet (69.4%) as type II, 7 feet (6.5%) as type III, and 18 feet (16.7%) as type IV. Twenty-nine coalitions (26.9%) involved the posterior facets only (subtype-P), 74 coalitions (68.5%) involved both the middle and posterior facets (subtype-MP), and five coalitions (4.6%) simultaneously involved the anterior, middle, and posterior facets (subtype-AMP). Type II-MP coalition was the most common.Conclusion A new classification system of the talocalcaneal coalition to facilitate operative planning was developed.

Lateral dislocation of the intact mandibular condyle is a relatively uncommon clinical condition. Since the first description and classification of these dislocations given by Allen and Young, few classification systems have been proposed in literature with incorporation of different patterns of dislocations identified over the years. We share our clinical experience of nine cases of such dislocations with 14 dislocated condyles, and on the basis of clinical and radiological findings coupled with the review of existing classification systems, we propose a new classification system which includes all the possible patterns of such dislocations overcoming the major shortcomings of preexisting classification systems identified by the authors.

Recommendation: The historical nomenclature for the adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is confusing, at times called posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), the adult flexible flatfoot deformity, posterior tibial tendon rupture, peritalar instability and peritalar subluxation (PTS), and progressive talipes equinovalgus. Many but not all of these deformities are associated with a rupture of the posterior tibial tendon (PTT), and some of these are associated with deformities either primarily or secondarily in the midfoot or ankle. There is similar inconsistency with the use of classification schemata for these deformities, and from the first introduced by Johnson and Strom (1989), and then modified by Myerson (1997), there have been many attempts to provide a more comprehensive classification system. However, although these newer more complete classification systems have addressed some of the anatomic variations of deformities encountered, none of the above have ever been validated. The proposed system better incorporates the most recent data and understanding of the condition and better allows for standardization of reporting. In light of this information, the consensus group proposes the adoption of the nomenclature “Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity” (PCFD) and a new classification system aiming at summarizing recent data published on the subject and to standardize data reporting regarding this complex 3-dimensional deformity. Level of Evidence: Level V, consensus, expert opinion. Consensus Statements Voted: CONSENSUS STATEMENT ONE: We will rename the condition to Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD), a complex 3-dimensional deformity with varying degrees of hindfoot valgus, forefoot abduction, and midfoot varus. Delegate vote: agree, 100% (9/9); disagree, 0%; abstain, 0%. (Unanimous, strongest consensus) CONSENSUS STATEMENT TWO: Our current classification systems are incomplete or outdated. Delegate vote: agree, 100% (9/9); disagree, 0%; abstain, 0%. (Unanimous, strongest consensus) CONSENSUS STATEMENT THREE: MRI findings should be part of a new classification system. Delegate vote: agree, 33% (3/9); disagree, 67% (6/9); abstain, 0%. (Weak negative consensus) CONSENSUS STATEMENT FOUR: Weightbearing CT (WBCT) findings should be part of a new classification system. Delegate vote: agree, 56% (5/9); disagree, 44% (4/9); abstain, 0%. (Weak consensus) CONSENSUS STATEMENT FIVE: A new classification system is proposed and should be used to stage the deformity clinically and to define treatment. Delegate vote: agree, 89% (8/9); abstain, 11% (1/9). (Strong consensus)

Peri-prosthetic fractures (PFF) are complex management problems in orthopaedic surgery. Their treatment has evolved with advances in principles of internal fixation and revision hip surgery. Current classification systems look at anatomical location, prosthesis stability and Bone quality. Recent evidence highlights the importance of fracture stability in treatment planning, the weaknesses of single plating, the increasing role of long stem revision and also the importance of Bone allografts. We present the principles of management of both intra and post-operative PFFs, including surgical techniques and published outcomes.

Despite the fact that distal radial fracture is the commonest fracture, there is a little evidence-based knowledge about the value of its classification to guide management and predict prognosis. The available classification systems are either complicated or weakly applicable in clinical practice. Older's classification is the most reliable, but does not cover all radial fracture types. We evaluated the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of a new classification system which is a modification of Older's classification covering all radial fracture types. Two hundred and thirty-two consecutive adult patients with acute distal radial fractures were blindly evaluated according to the new classification by three orthopedic surgeons twice with 1-year interval. The interobserver reliability was measured using the Fleiss kappa coefficient, and the intraobserver reliability was measured using the Cohen's kappa coefficient. The new classification showed fair to substantial interobserver and intraobserver reliability, i.e., results comparable to the reliability of commonly used classification systems. The reliability was better for younger patients and when evaluation was carried out by hand-surgery-interested orthopedic surgeons. The new classification system is simple, covers all radial fracture types, and has an acceptable reliability. Further studies are needed to judge its ability to direct management and predict prognosis.

A, the coalition involving the anterior facets; M, the coalition involving the middle facets, and P, the coalition involving the posterior facets. Interobserver reliability was measured at the main type (based on nature and shape) and subtype (articular facet involved) using weighted Kappa. Results There were 106 patients (108 ft) included in this study. Overall, 8 ft (7.5%) were classified as type I, 75 ft (69.4%) as type II, 7 ft (6.5%) as type III, and 18 ft (16.7%) as type IV. Twenty-nine coalitions (26.9%) involved the posterior facets only (subtype-P), 74 coalitions (68.5%) involved both the middle and posterior facets (subtype-MP), and five coalitions (4.6%) simultaneously involved the anterior, middle, and posterior facets (subtype-AMP). Type II-MP coalition was the most common. The value of weighted Kappa for the main type was 0.93 (95%CI 0.86–0.99) (p<0.001), and the value for the subtype was 0.78 (95%CI 0.66–0.91) (p<0.001). Conclusion A new classification system of the talocalcaneal coalition to facilitate operative planning was developed.

Vilius Petrėtis1, Audrius Gradauskas2, Jonas Činčikas11 Vilniaus miesto universitetinės ligoninės Chirurgijos klinika,2 Vilniaus universiteto Medicinos fakultetoBendrosios medicinos praktikos ir slaugos katedra,Vilniaus miesto universitetinės ligoninės Chirurgijos klinika,Antakalnio g. 57, LT-2040, VilniusEl paštas: [email protected] Įvadas / tikslas Cukrinis diabetas ligoniui dabar nėra toks pavojingas, kaip šios ligos sukeltos komplikacijos. Viena jų yra diabetinės pėdos sindromas – pagrindinė cukriniu diabetu sergančių ligonių hospitalizavimo ir amputacijų priežastis. Nors yra labai daug ligonių, sergančių diabetinės pėdos sindromu, ir šis skaičius vis didėja, tačiau iki šiol nėra sukurtos vienodos diabetinės pėdos klasifikavimo sistemos. Viena iš priežasčių ta, kad šis sindromas turėtų būti vertinamas ir gydomas kelių klinikinių disciplinų specialistų: bendrojo chirurgo, kraujagyslių chirurgo, endokrinologo. Į šią problemą norėjome pažvelgti iš bendrojo chirurgo pozicijų. Tyrimo tikslas – išsiaiškinti diabetinės pėdos epidemiologiją, suklasifikuoti diabetinę pėdą pagal tris klasifikavimo sistemas, paanalizuoti šių klasifikavimo sistemų pranašumus ir trūkumus, nustatyti cukrinio diabeto komplikacijų priklausomybę nuo įvairių epidemiologinių veiksnių bei cukrinio diabeto tipo, apžvelgti diabetinės pėdos sindromo simptomatiką. Metodai 1992–2002 metais Vilniaus miesto universitetinės ligoninės Bendrosios chirurgijos skyriuje nuo diabetinės pėdos sindromo buvo gydomas 441 pacientas. Duomenys rinkti pildant tam tikros formos anketas. Rezultatai Iš 54,6% vyrų ir 45,4% moterų 85,7% sirgo II tipo ir 14,3% – I tipo cukriniu diabetu. Vyrų ir moterų santykis – 1,20. Dėl diabetinės pėdos sindromo hospitalizuoti ligoniai diabetu sirgo vidutiniškai 13,5±7,9 metų, o 2,9% ligonių diabetas hospitalizavimo metu buvo diagnozuotas pirmąkart. Vidutinis ligonių amžius – 63,8±11,7 metų. 32,9% ligonių hospitalizuoti dėl neuropatinės, 42,4%– dėl neuroischeminės ir 24,7% – dėl mišrios diabetinės pėdos. Tiriant sistemines diabeto komplikacijas, 29,0% ligonių diagnozuota nefropatija, 25,8% – retinopatija ir 4,5% – encefalopatija. Sisteminių diabeto komplikacijų nebuvo 56,9% ligonių. Vieną komplikaciją turėjo 29,0% ligonių, dvi – 12,5%, visas tris pirmiau minėtas sistemines komplikacijas – 1,6% ligonių. Dažniausiai dėl diabetinės pėdos sindromo hospitalizuojamiems ligoniams nustatomos kelios diagnozės: pūlynas – 88,5%, gangrena – 41,1%, pėdos kaulų osteomielitas – 29,8%, galūnės opa – 25,3% atvejų. Vidutinė hospitalizavimo dėl diabetinės pėdos sindromo trukmė yra 40,0±1,58 dienos. Pagrindinis simptomas, varginęs daugiau kaip 90% ligonių, buvo galūnės skausmas, per 70% ligonių skundėsi patinimu. Daugiau kaip pusei ligonių buvo pūliavimas, sutrikusi galūnės funkcija. Išvados Diabetinės pėdos tipas nepriklauso nuo cukrinio diabeto tipo ir paciento lyties. Cukraligės sisteminės komplikacijos – nefropatija, retinopatija, encefalopatija būdingesnės mišraus tipo diabetinės pėdos sindromu sergantiems ligoniams. Diabetinė nefropatija būdingesnė ligoniams, sergantiems I tipo cukralige. Dažniausiai hospitalizuotiems ligoniams nustatomos kelios diagnozės (pvz., galūnės gangrena, pūlynas ir opa). Diabetinė pėdos opa būdingesnė II tipo cukraligei, pėdos gangrena – neuroischeminio tipo diabetinės pėdos sindromui. Klasifikavimo sistema turėtų būti paprasta, tiksli, specifiška ir pritaikyta praktiniam darbui. Wagnerio klasifikavimo sistema galėtų būti taikoma pirminės sveikatos priežiūros grandyje, S(AD) SAD sistema labiau tiktų retrospektyviems tyrimams, o pagal Paprastąją stadijų nustatymo sistemą (Simple Staging System) turėtų būtų klasifikuojamos hospitalizuotų ligonių diabetinės pėdos.

Diabetic foot: epidemiology, classification, symptoms Vilius Petrėtis1, Audrius Gradauskas2, Jonas Činčikas1 Background / objective Diabetes mellitus for a patient is not as dangerous as its complications. One of these complications is diabetic foot syndrome which is the main reason for hospitalization and amputation among patients ill with diabetes mellitus. Although the number of patients ill with diabetic foot syndrome is rapidly increasing, there is no unified system of diabetic foot classification. One of the reasons is that this syndrome must be treated by several clinicians: general surgeons, vascular surgeons, endocrinologists. The topics are analysed from the general surgeon's point of view. The aim of the study was to analyse the epidemiology and symptoms of diabetic foot syndrome, to classify diabetic foot according to three different classification systems used worlwide, and to find the advantages and disadvantages of these classification systems. Methods At the Vilnius City University Hospital, from 1992 to 2002 441 patients with diabetic foot syndrome were hospitalized. The data were collected from queationnaires. Results Of 54.6% of males and 45.4% of females, 85.7% were ill with type II and 14.3% with type I diabetes mellitus. The male to female ratio is 1.2. The average duration of diabetes mellitus for patients hospitalized with diabetic foot syndrome was 13.5 ± 7.9 years, and for 2.9% of patients diabetes mellitus for the first time was diagnosed during hospitalization. The average age was 63.8 ± 11.7 years. 32.9% of patients were hospitalized due to neuropathic, 42.4% due to neuroischemic and 24.7% due to mixed diabetic foot. 29.0% of patients had diabetic nephropathy, 25.8% diabetic retinopathy and 4.5% diabetic encephalopathy. 56.9% of patients had no systemic complications, 29.0% had one, 12.5% had two, 1.6% had three of all the above-mentioned systemic complications. Most frequently there were several diagnoses for a patient. Phlegmon of lower extremity was diagnosed in 88.5%, gangrene in 41.1%, osteomyelitis of foot bones in 29.8% and ulcer of foot in 25.3% of all cases. The average duration of hospitalization was 40.0 ± 1.58 days. The main symptom that affected over 90% of all patients was pain of the lower extremity, over 70% of patients suffered from swelling. Over half of all patients were referred to our hospital because of lower extremity suppuration and foot function disorders. Conclusions Diabetic foot type doesn't depend on the diabetes mellitus type and patient's sex. Diabetes mellitus systemic complications, such as nephropathy, retinopathy, encephalopathy were more common in the mixed type of diabetic foot. Diabetic nephropathy was more common in type I diabetes mellitus. Frequently there were several diagnoses for a patient, e.g., gangrene, phlegmon and ulcer of a lower extremity. Foot ulcers were more common in type II diabetes mellitus. Gangrene of foot is more common in neuroischemic foot. The classification system has to be simple, exact, specific and useful for decision making. The Wagner classification system could be used in out-patient surgery departments, S(AD) SAD classification system could be useful for retrospective studies. Diabetic feet of hospitalized patients could be classified according to the Simple Staging System. Keywords: diabetes mellitus, diabetic foot, epidemiology, symptoms, classification
