AbstractPatello-femoral arthroplasty (PFA) is successful in a selected group of patients and yields a good functional outcome. Robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty has been shown to provide better implant positioning and alignment. We aim to report our early outcomes and to compare Mako's (Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopaedic System [RIO]) preoperative implant planning position to our intraoperative PFA implant position. Data for this study was prospectively collected for 23 (two bilateral) patients who underwent robotic-assisted PFA between April 2017 and May 2018. All preoperative implant position planning and postoperative actual implant position were recorded. Presence of trochlear dysplasia and functional outcome scores were also collected. There were 17 (two bilateral) female and 6 male patients with a mean age of 66.5 (range: 41–89) years. The mean follow-up period was 30 (range: 24–37) months. Eighteen knees (72%) had evidence of trochlear dysplasia. The anterior trochlear line was on average, 7.71 (range: 3.3–11.3) degrees, internally rotated to the surgical transepicondylar axis and on average 2.9 (range: 0.2–6.5) degrees internally rotated to the posterior condylar line. The preoperative planning range was 4-degree internal to 4-degree external rotation, 4-degree varus to 6-degree valgus, and 7-degree flexion to 3-degree extension. The average difference between preoperative planning and intraoperative implant position was 0.43 degrees for rotation (r = 0.93), 0.99 degrees for varus/valgus (r = 0.29), 1.26 degrees for flexion/extension (r = 0.83), and 0.34 mm for proudness (r = 0.80). Six patients (24%) had a different size component from their preoperative plan (r = 0.98). The mean preoperative Oxford Knee Score (OKS) was 16 and the mean postoperative OKS was 42. No patient had implant-related revision surgery or any radiological evidence of implant loosening at final follow-up. Our early results of robotic PFA are promising. Preoperative Mako planning correlates closely with intraoperative implant positioning. Longer follow-up is needed to assess long-term patient outcomes and implant survivorship.

Robotic-arm assisted arthroplasty (RAA) has gained popularity over the past decade because of its ability to provide more accurate implant positioning with less surgical trauma than conventional manual arthroplasty. It has shown better early functional outcomes, less postoperative pain and shorter inpatient stays. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial in improving overall outcomes and ensuring this technology is implemented efficiently and safely, but there is limited published literature on the nursing considerations for managing patients undergoing RAA. This article aims to provide a pragmatic approach for nursing care in the pre-, intra-, and postoperative phases of RAA.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the safety of sacrohystcopxy by determining intraoperative and post-operative complications and its effectiveness by pelvic organ prolapse recurrence on follow up. Study Design: Prospective study. Setting: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit-II DHQ Hospital PMC, Faisalabad. Period: Jan-2014 to Jan-2017. Material & Methods: Patients with uterovaginal prolapse, admitted through OPD were selected for abdominal sacrohysteropexy. Variables of study including duration of surgery, any intra-operative and post operative complications, need of intra operative blood transfusion, post operative hospital stay; recurrence of POP, number of pregnancies in 06 moths follow up were recorded. Results: During this study period, 319 patients were admitted with uterovaginal prolapse. 32 (10.03%) cases were selected for abdominal sacrohysteropexy. In these 32 patients, 03 (9.37%) were <30years of age, 21(65.62%) were between 30-35 years and 8 (25%) were between 35-40 years of age. About 2(6.25%) were unmarried, while 30(93.7%) were married. In these married women 14(43.75%) were multiparas, another 14(43.75%) were para 1 or 2, while 4(12.5%) were para 3 or more. Duration of surgery was 40-45 minutes in 31(96.87%) patients. In 28(87.5%) cases per operative blood loss was <150ml while in 4(12.5%) it was estimated to be >150ml but less than 300ml. Post operatively only 1(3.12%) case developed wound sepsis and it was the only one (3.12%) who was discharged on 7th post operative day, while rest 31(96.87%) were discharged on 3rd post operative day. No recurrence was noticed in 06 moths follow up, while 2(6.25%) patients became pregnant. Conclusion: Abdominal sacrohysteropexy is a safe and an effective treatment in terms of overall anatomical and functional outcome, complications, post operative recovery, length of hospital stay and sexual functioning, in women who desire uterine and hence fertility preservation.

Introduction: Insertion of gamma nail with the patient in lateral decubitus position have the advantages of easier access to the entry point, easier fracture reduction and easier implant positioning. Our study described the incidence of femoral angular and rotational deformity following gamma nail insertion in lateral decubitus position. Methods: In a prospective clinical case series, 31 patients (26 males and 5 females; the average age of 42.6 years) with 31 proximal femoral shaft fractures that were treated with gamma IMN were included in our study. Postoperatively, computerized tomography scans of the pelvis and both knees (injured and uninjured sides) were examined to measure anteversion angles on both sides. A scout film of the pelvis and upper both femurs was taken to compare the neck shaft angles on both sides. Results: No angular malalignment was detected in our series; the mean angular malalignment angle was 1.6 ± 1.5°. There was a high incidence of true rotational malalignment of ≥10° in 16 out of 31 patients (51.6%); most of them were external rotational malalignment. Younger age group (≤40 years) had significantly more incidence of rotational malalignment (≥10°) than older age group (>40 years) (P-value 0.019). Discussion: Gamma nail fixation in lateral decubitus position without the fracture table gives an accurate and easier access to the entry point, good implant positioning with no or minimal angular malalignment (varus −valgus) but poses high incidence of true rotational malalignment. Great care and awareness of rotation should be exercised during fixing proximal femoral fractures in lateral decubitus position.
