Background: Mini-open thoracoscopic-assisted thoracotomy (MOTA) has been introduced to mitigate disadvantages of conventional open anterior or conventional posterior only thoracoscopic procedures. Here, we evaluated the results of utilizing the MOTA technique to perform anterior decompression/fusion for 22 traumatic thoracic fractures. Methods: There were 22 patients with unstable thoracic burst fractures (TBF) who underwent surgery utilizing the MOTA thoracotomy technique. Multiple variables were studied including; the neurological status of the patient preoperatively/postoperatively, the level and type of fracture, associated injuries, operative time, estimated blood loss, chest tube drainage (intercostal drainage), length of hospital stay (LOS), and complication rate. Results: In 22 patients (averaging 35.5 years of age), T9 and T12 vertebral fractures were most frequently encountered. There were 20 patients who had single level and 2 patients who had two-level fractures warranting corpectomies. Average operating time and blood loss for single-level corpectomy were 91.5 ± 14.5 min and 311 ml and 150 ± 18.6 min and 550 ml for two levels, respectively. Mean hospital stay was 5 days. About 95.45% of cases showed fusion at latest follow-up. Average preoperative kyphotic angle corrected from 34.2 ± 3.5° to 20.5 ± 1.0° postoperatively with an average correction of 41.1% and correction loss of 2.4%. Conclusion: We concluded that utilization of the MOTA technique was safe and effective for providing decompression/fusion of traumatic TBF.

Unstable Fractures

Elderly patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis are at high risk for falls, and 3-column unstable fractures present multiple challenges. Unstable fractures across the cervicothoracic junction are associated with significant morbidity and require fixation, which is commonly performed through a posterior open or percutaneous approach. The authors describe a novel, navigated, mini-open anterior approach using intraoperative cone-beam CT scanning to place lag screws followed by an anterior plate in a 97-year-old patient. This approach is less invasive and faster than an open posterior approach and can be considered as an option for management of cervicothoracic junction fractures in elderly patients with high perioperative risk profile who cannot tolerate being placed prone during surgery.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the rates and types of complications and secondary surgeries after mini-open carpal tunnel release. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed for 1,328 patients who underwent mini-open carpal tunnel release from August 2008 to July 2013. Patients were excluded for acute trauma, the index procedure being revision surgery, neoplasm, age less than 18 years, incomplete records, and postoperative follow-up less than 1 month, which yielded 904 patients who underwent 1,144 surgeries. Results: Of 1,144 carpal tunnel releases performed, 14 (1.2%) were noted to have a complication at final follow-up, with no cases of major nerve or vessel injury. Fourteen patients (1.2%) underwent secondary surgery, including 11 cases for persistent or recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome and 3 cases for infection or hematoma. Chronic kidney disease was associated with an increased risk of complication. Diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and cervical radiculopathy were associated with an increased risk of secondary surgery. Conclusions: The short-term complication and secondary surgery rates of mini-open carpal tunnel release are low. Patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and cervical radiculopathy should be counseled regarding risks of complication and secondary surgery.

Abstract This article summarizes the design and evaluation of a new augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) interface strategy for people with complex communication needs and severe physical limitations. This strategy combines typing, gesture recognition, and word prediction to input text into AAC software using touchscreen or head movement tracking access methods. Eight individuals with movement limitations due to spinal cord injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, polio, and Guillain Barre syndrome participated in the evaluation of the prototype technology using a head-tracking device. Fourteen typical individuals participated in the evaluation of the prototype using a touchscreen.
