Pencil Lead

Pencil core granuloma is characterized by a delayed foreign-body reaction against retained fragments of pencil lead. Previous case reports presented pencil core granuloma resembling malignant melanoma, haemangioma, or soft tissue sarcoma. We present a case of pencil core granuloma arising from the palm 25 years after the initial injury. The patient presented a bluish nodule that had been present over 25 years before. The nodule initially measured 5 mm in diameter. However, five years before presentation, it suddenly enlarged to the size of 30 mm during six months. Computed tomography (CT) of the lesion revealed a linear radiopaque structure of 8 mm long with a mass on its distal end. Surgical resection revealed a bluish muddy mass and pencil lead. Histological examination revealed degenerative tissue with calcification surrounded by massive amounts of black granular material in the middle and lower dermis.

Instructive Case

Abstract Amyloidoma (localized tumorlike amyloidosis) in the soft tissues is rare. We present an instructive case of recurrent amyloidoma in the soft tissue of the ankle in a 45-year-old man with multiple surgical procedures and chronic osteomyelitis of the underlying bones. The lesion evaded diagnosis because of a florid giant cell reaction that led to various misdiagnoses, including giant cell tumor of tendon sheath, foreign body reaction secondary to surgery, and pseudogout. This case demonstrates the importance of considering the possibility of amyloidoma when a giant cell–rich lesion is encountered in the soft tissues.

Category: Basic Sciences/Biologics; Ankle; Hindfoot; Midfoot/Forefoot; Sports Introduction/Purpose: Artelon is a synthetic degradable polyurethaneurea graft which has been investigated and utilized for soft tissue reconstruction in a variety of orthopaedic settings. However, in the field of foot and ankle surgery, there is very limited reported clinical data on outcomes of surgery utilizing Artelon. The goal of this study was look at outcomes of foot and ankle surgery in which Artelon is used, including post-op VAS scores and complications including adverse foreign body reaction, infection, repeat surgery, and implant failure. Our hypothesis was that soft tissue reconstruction procedures utilizing artelon will have a low complication rate, similar to established complication rates for other soft tissue reconstruction procedures such as those utilizing allograft, autograft, or other synthetic tissue. Methods: The treating surgeon’s first 55 consecutive patients 18 years and older who were treated with artelon graft as part of a foot and ankle surgery are being included in this IRB-approved study. Through retrospective chart review, outcome measures including the procedure for which artelon was utilized, pre and post-op Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, and complications including repeat surgery for graft failure, foreign body reaction, wound healing issues, infection, and osteolysis were assessed. Statistical analysis was done utilizing Student’s t-test for continuous variables and chi square test for categorical variables. Results: Average follow-up time was 246.5 days. The majority of patients had artelon placed for spring ligament reconstruction, brostrom procedures, or achilles tendon reconstruction. VAS scores dropped significantly from before surgery to 3 weeks post- operatively (5.6 to 3.2, p<0.05). VAS scores stabilized after 3 weeks, with final follow-up score at 2.9. There were no reports of osteolysis in the area of the graft placement, adverse foreign body reaction, or episodes of graft failure. There were two major complications involving artelon surgical sites: one patient required a free flap for wound coverage, and another required an operative debridement with hardware and artelon removal, antibiotic spacer placement, and subsequent hindfoot fusion. Other minor complications not requiring operative intervention included cellulitis (3 patients) and delayed wound healing (5). Conclusion: Artelon is a safe and effective implant that can be utilized for soft tissue reconstruction in the foot and ankle, with similar post-operative pain recovery and wound complication rates compared to established historical data for these procedures. Additional studies must be done looking at long-term patient outcomes with utilization of artelon, and direct comparative studies with other soft tissue reconstruction techniques and materials in the foot and ankle.

Air Gun Pellet

Non-powder firearm-related injuries to the head and neck carry the potential risk of significant morbidity and mortality. Such penetrating injuries tend to be under-reported and trivialised especially in children. Air gun pellet injury may cause damage to both soft tissue and bone. Some metals, when embedded in body tissue, can evoke a foreign body reaction or release toxins over time. It therefore becomes imperative to retrieve these pellets. We present one such case of accidental lodgement of airgun pellet in the right maxilla of a 12-year-old boy during childhood play with an airgun which went unnoticed at that time and was surgically retrieved after a decade. The patient had not suffered from any neurosensory deficit.

Abstract Background A compact passive oxide layer can grow on tantalum (Ta). It has been reported that this oxide layer can facilitate bone ingrowth in vivo though the development of bone-like apatite, which promotes hard and soft tissue adhesion. Thus, Ta surface treatment on facial implant materials may improve the tissue response, which could result in less fibrotic encapsulation and make the implant more stable on the bone surface. The purposes of this study were to verify whether surface treatment of facial implant materials using Ta can improve the biohistobiological response and to determine the possibility of potential clinical applications. Methods Two different and commonly used implant materials, silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), were treated via Ta ion implantation using a Ta sputtering gun. Ta-treated samples were compared with untreated samples using in vitro and in vivo evaluations. Osteoblast (MG-63) and fibroblast (NIH3T3) cell viability with the Ta-treated implant material was assessed, and the tissue response was observed by placing the implants over the rat calvarium (n = 48) for two different lengths of time. Foreign body and inflammatory reactions were observed, and soft tissue thickness between the calvarium and the implant as well as the bone response was measured. Results The treatment of facial implant materials using Ta showed a tendency toward increased fibroblast and osteoblast viability, although this result was not statistically significant. During the in vivo study, both Ta-treated and untreated implants showed similar foreign body reactions. However, the Ta-treated implant materials (silicone and ePTFE) showed a tendency toward better histological features: lower soft tissue thickness between the implant and the underlying calvarium as well as an increase in new bone activity. Conclusion Ta surface treatment using ion implantation on silicone and ePTFE facial implant materials showed the possibility of reducing soft tissue intervention between the calvarium and the implant to make the implant more stable on the bone surface. Although no statistically significant improvement was observed, Ta treatment revealed a tendency toward an improved biohistological response of silicone and ePTFE facial implants. Conclusively, tantalum treatment is beneficial and has the potential for clinical applications.
