Abstract Background: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic tight fibrous band release in the treatment of adult moderate-to-severe gluteal fibrosis using anterior and posterior portals during mid-term follow-up. Methods: The data of 138 patients (58 males, 80 females) aged between 18 and 42 years (mean, 28.6 years), presenting with bilateral moderate-to-severe gluteal fibrosis (GF) from October 2013 to August 2019, was retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent arthroscopic tight fibrous band release using anterior and posterior portals with radiofrequency energy. Under arthroscopic guidance through the posterior portal, we debrided the fatty tissue overlying the contracted band of the gluteal muscle and excised the contracted bands using a radiofrequency device introduced through the anterior portal. The pre- and post-operative gluteal muscle contracture disability (GD) scale and the patient satisfaction rate were compared to evaluate the curative effect of the operation. Results: The average operation time was 18 min (range, 10-30 min) and the average blood loss was 4 ml (range, 2-10 ml) for unilateral arthroscopic release. Two cases of post-operative minimal hematomas, 2 cases of bruising and 2 cases of local subcutaneous edema were observed as early complications and were cured by conservative treatment. After surgery, all incisions healed in stage I, and no other complications such as wound infection, nerve and blood vessel injury were detected. 118 patients were followed up for 6 to 72 months (mean, 36 months). No lateral instability of the hip was observed and all patients returned to normal gait. The degree of adduction of the hip joint in all these 118 patients was significantly improved relative to their pre-operative conditions. 115 patients (97.5%) were able to crouch with knees close to each other after surgery. 114 patients (96.6%) were able to cross the affected leg completely without any support. The GD scale was improved from 55.5±10.6 before operation to 90.1±5.2 at the last follow-up (p<0.05). The patient satisfaction rate was 95.8%. Conclusion: Arthroscopic tight fibrous band release using anterior and posterior portals is minimally invasive for adult moderate-to-severe gluteal fibrosis, with a high success rate, quick recovery after surgery and reliable medium-term effect.

After surgery, all incisions healed in stage I, and no other complications such as wound infection, nerve and blood vessel injury were detected. One hundred eighteen patients were followed up for 6 to 72 months (mean, 36 months). No lateral instability of the hip was observed and all patients returned to normal gait. The degree of adduction of the hip joint in all these 118 patients was significantly improved relative to their pre-operative conditions. One hundred fifteen patients (97.5%) were able to crouch with knees close to each other after surgery. One hundred fourteen patients (96.6%) were able to cross the affected leg completely without any support. The GD scale was improved from 55.5 ± 10.6 before operation to 90.1 ± 5.2 at the last follow-up (p < 0.05). The patient satisfaction rate was 95.8%. Conclusion Arthroscopic tight fibrous band release using anterior and posterior portals is minimally invasive for adult moderate-to-severe gluteal fibrosis, with a high success rate, quick recovery after surgery and reliable medium-term effect.

The anatomy and histology of the volar plate at the proximal interphalangeal joint and the mechanism of fracture/subluxation of the base of the middle phalanx in closed proximal interphalangeal joint injuries is reviewed. Our current technique of repair for these injuries and its evolution from Eaton’s original procedure is described. The results of 71 cases of volar plate arthroplasty performed over a five-year period for fracture/subluxations of the proximal interphalangeal joints are presented with follow-up ranging from six months to four years. 62 (87%) patients achieved a stable pain-free joint with a range of motion from 5° to 95° within two months. Complications were uncommon and correctable with an overall eventual patient satisfaction rate of 94%.

Abstract Aim Surgical Anxiety is a challenging problem in the peri-operative care of a patient often leading to poor surgical outcomes and repeated visits by the patient to the hospital. Despite being well documented, in practice, it still remains the most neglected and haphazardly adopted part of patient care. This study aimed to make the overall experience of surgery, safer and pleasant to the patient by instituting a novel, multimodal and easy to follow protocol. Method A self-made questionnaire formed the source for data collection from 43 patients listed for elective surgery in a government setup, throughout the duration of their admission and review period. Patient satisfaction rate was assessed by re-audits, post implementation of changes via a Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle. The ease of protocol administration and sustainability were assessed from staff via an audit and it was further simplified to ensure adoption was easy and patient satisfaction rate remained high as well. Results Initial audit showed only 49% (n = 21) of patient satisfaction rate at the time of admission. Significant variations of &gt; 90% (n = 39) patient satisfaction rate was noted post implementation of changes after the first PDSA cycle. A second PDSA cycle was instituted to simplify the protocol and post audit &gt;90% acceptance rate from staff were noted. Conclusions Shared Decision Making, Peer Support Groups, Adequate knowledge of the treating surgeon, the disease, treatment modalities and complications instituted via a proper protocol helped to alleviate surgical anxiety and prepare a positive patient for surgery.
