Prospective Comparative Study

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background: </strong>Fractures of the clavicle are common injuries that may result from direct blow or transmitted forces. Deformities are shortening and depression of lateral fragments. Various techniques are performed out of which superior and anteroinferior plating are widely used with each having its own merits and drawbacks. Our study compares the outcome between above mentioned techniques.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods: </strong>We conducted a prospective comparative study of 60 patients who has met inclusion criteria and out of which 30 patients were treated with anteroinferior technique and 30 patients were treated with superior plating technique. Outcome measure were assessed through constant and murley score.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results: </strong>The demographic analysis of our study showed that the incidence of fracture is predominant among males (63.3%) with RTA being the most common mode of injury. AO/OTA classification which was used in our study revealed A1 as the most frequently involved group. Each group had 2 patients with infection post operatively which was managed with appropriate antibiotics. Increased incidence of delayed union was found in anterioinferior group (13.3%) with decreased hardware prominence in comparison with superior plating.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> There were no significant differences in functional outcome between both the groups except the fact that superior plating had higher chances of plate prominence. So either of the surgical technique can be employed depending upon the feasibility of surgeon.</p>

Abstract Introduction Four-corner fusion is a technique for the treatment of carpal advanced collapse. It consists of scaphoid excision and arthrodesis of the lunate, triquetrum, hamate, and capitate bones. This can be accomplished with different kinds of osteosynthesis. In the first reports of the use of a circular plate, poor outcomes are described, with high rates of non-union, which decreased in later studies, which highlight certain aspects of the surgical technique. Objective To report our experience with four-corner fusion with the use of a dorsal locking plate (Xpode, Trimed Inc., Santa Clarita, CA, US), and compare it with another traditional fixation method (3.0-mm headless compression screws [HCSs], Synthes, Slothurn, Switzerland), with an emphasis on union, an assessment of the fincitonal outcomes, and the presence of complications. Material and Methods A comparative study of two prospective series of patients operated on through two fixation techniques for four-corner fusion using autologous bone graft from the iliac crest.The first group of patients, evaluated between 2010 and 2012, underwent osteosynthesis with 2 HCSs, with a minimum follow up of 18 months. The second group, evaluated between 2011 and 2014, underwent osteosynthesis with a dorsal locking plate, with a minimium foloow up of 12 months. The patients were operated on by four different surgeons in four centers.The patients were evaluated with radiographs to establish the presence of union and the time it took to occur. In case of doubt, union was confirmed through a computed tomography (CT) scan at 8 weeks postoperatrively. We also assessed the range of motion, the presence of complications, and function through the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and a grip strength score. Results We achieved a union rate of 100% in both groups at similar times. In the dorsal locking plate group, we obtained better full range of motion, particularly in wrist extension, which was statistically significant (p = 0.0016), as well as lower DASH scores, which was also statistically significant (p = 0.0066). Complications were only present in two patients in the HCS group. Conclusion Both techniques are valid and reproducible for the treatment of wrists with scapholunate advanced collapse (SNAC) and scaphoid non-union advanced collapse (SLAC). Based on the outcomes, with the Xpode plate, the patients presented better ranges of motion and DASH scores; therefore it may be an excellent fixation option in the open four-corner fusion surgical technique. The entry point and configuration of the HCS are fundamental variables to analyze.The union rate of 100% obtained in the present study contrasts with the high rates of non-union reported in the literature published in the early 2000s.

Zygomatic Implant

Zygomatic implant (ZI) is an option of the edentulism. Complications associated with ZI are maxillary sinusitis and soft tissue recession. The Zygoma Anatomy-Guided Approach (ZAGA), reduce the complications of the Original zygomatic intra-sinus Surgical technique (OI-ST). Study Aims: 1) report and compare the prevalence of sinus complications between ZAGA and OI-ST. 2) propose therapeutic guidelines for sinus. Material and Methods: ZAGA has been proposed to reduce the complications of the OI-ST. Results: Statistically significant increase of the "Modified Lund Mackay" (MLM) score (was noted in CT of patients after ZI surgery in comparison with the pre-surgical Lund-Mackay (LM) score (t=5, 0, p<.0005). Our study indicates that patients who underwent the ZI surgery according to the OI-ST. (M = 2.93, SD = 3.65) demonstrated a significantly higher ML-M score (t = 2.99, p < .003) compared to the patients operated with the ZAGA Concept (M = 1.52, SD = 2.36). Conclusions: ZI procedures can lead to sinus alterations. Significant differences have been found between two different approaches.
