Abstract This article was prompted by the submission of two challenging cases that exemplify the decision processes involved in using the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides). In both cases, the physical examinations were normal with no evidence of illness behavior, but, based on their histories and clinical presentations, the patients reported credible symptoms attributable to specific significant injuries. The dilemma for evaluators was whether to adhere to the AMA Guides, as written, or to attempt to rate impairment in these rare cases. In the first case, the evaluating neurologist used alternative approaches to define impairment based on the presence of thoracic outlet syndrome and upper extremity pain, as if there were a nerve injury. An orthopedic surgeon who evaluated the case did not base impairment on pain and used the upper extremity chapters in the AMA Guides. The impairment ratings determined using either the nervous system or upper extremity chapters of the AMA Guides resulted in almost the same rating (9% vs 8% upper extremity impairment), and either value converted to 5% whole person permanent impairment. In the second case, the neurologist evaluated the individual for neuropathic pain (9% WPI), and the orthopedic surgeon rated the patient as Diagnosis-related estimates Cervical Category II for nonverifiable radicular pain (5% to 8% WPI).

ABSTRACT Introduction Each French military orthopedic surgeon is both an orthopedic surgeon and a trauma surgeon. Their mission is to support the armed forces in France and on deployment. The aim of this study was to describe the type of orthopedic surgery performed for the armed forces in France. Our hypothesis was that scheduled surgery was more common than trauma surgery. Methods We conducted a retrospective descriptive analysis of the surgical activity for military patients in the orthopedic surgery departments of the four French military platform hospitals. All surgical procedures performed during 2020 were collected. We divided the procedures into the following categories: heavy and light trauma, posttraumatic reconstruction surgery, sports surgery, degenerative surgery, and specialized surgery. Our primary endpoint was the number of procedures performed per category. Results A total of 827 individuals underwent surgery, 91 of whom (11%) were medical returnees from deployment. The surgeries performed for the remaining 736 soldiers present in metropolitan France (89%) consisted of 181 (24.6%) trauma procedures (of which 86.7% were light trauma) and 555 (75.4%) scheduled surgery procedures (of which 60.8% were sports surgery). Among the medical returnees, there were 71 traumatology procedures (78%, of which 87.3% were light traumatology) and 20 procedures corresponding to surgery usually carried out on a scheduled basis (22%, of which 95% were sports surgery). Conclusion Military orthopedic surgeons are not just traumatologists; their activity for the armed forces is varied and mainly consists of so-called programmed interventions.

Cervical Ribs

Cervical ribs give rise to vascular and neurogenic manifestation in the upper limb due to stretching and friction of neurovascular bundle in the base of the neck by numerous mechanisms that includes cervical ribs, anomalous ligament & hypertrophy of the scalenus anticus muscle. Controversy surrounds the diagnosis and management of thoracic outlet syndrome with or without cervical ribs. This is a small study of 20 cases carried out from 1994 to 2003 at RMCH, and some private hospitals. Out of them, 15 patients (75%) were male and 5 patients (25%) were female. The age of the patients was between 15 to 48 years (mean age 33 years) Unilateral cervical ribs were present in 75% cases and the rest 25% had bilateral cervical ribs. Only 3 patients presented with gangrenous upper limb. One of the patient attended to orthopedic surgeon first and amputation was planned. All the patient were treated through supra clavicular approach by excision of cervical ribs together with fibrous band. Only one patient did not respond to this initial surgery as symptoms persist and re-operation done by excision of first-rib and ultimately that patient become symptom free. In this study, authors explained their own experience of various way of presentation of cervical ribs, aetiology, different modalities of the treatment and their out come.     doi: 10.3329/taj.v17i1.3482 TAJ 2004; 17(1) : 10-12

Background: Suprascapular nerve (SSN) block using bone reference points (BARO) is a technique that in principle is accessible to practitioners without experience in locoregional anesthesia or ultrasound guidance. The primary objective was to validate the feasibility of SSN BARO by an orthopedic surgeon. The secondary objective was to provide a description of the path of the sensory branches from the SSN to the shoulder. Methods: A BARO was performed on 15 cadaveric shoulders by an intern in orthopedic surgery. Ten ml of methylene blue and 0.75% ropivocaine were injected around the SSN. 2.5ml of a red latex solution were also injected to identify the injection site. The distribution of the sensory branches of the NSS was also described. Results: The average distance between the SSN and the injection site was 1.5cm (0-4.5cm). The most frequent injection site was the proximal third of the scapular neck. Fifteen SSNs were marked upstream of the origin of the sensory branches. The 15 SSN produced 3 sensory branches that innervate the posterior glenohumeral capsule, the subacromial bursa, and the coracoclavicular and acromioclavicular ligaments. Conclusion: SSN BARO by an orthopedic surgeon is a simple, reliable, and accurate technique. Injection near the suprascapular notch is recommended to mark the SSN upstream of its three sensory branches.
