Surgical Data

Abstract Purpose The aim of this article is to present an original surgical technique for the treatment of rigid Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis (AdIS) and the results at minimum 2 years follow-up in a cohort of 40 patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 40 patients affected by rigid AdIS, older than 40 years and operated with a posterior one stage surgical technique summarized with the acronym Hi-PoAD, (high-density pedicle screws, Ponte osteotomies, asymmetric rods contouring, direct vertebral rotation). The demographic and surgical data were collected, and the improvement of clinical scores and radiologic parameters was obtained after surgery, at 1 and 2 years and at final follow-up, to assess deformity correction, coronal and sagittal balance and clinical outcome. Results The average follow-up was 2.9 years (range 2–3.5). Average coronal Cobb angle decreased from 65.0° ± 8.4 to 18.9° ± 3.9 (p < 0.01). Rotation sagittal angle decreased from 26.2° ± 4.4° to 12.4° ± 2.8° (p < 0.01). Mean thoracic kyphosis improved from 23.1° ± 3.6° to 36.0° ± 3.9°. SRS-22 improved form 2.9 ± 0.4 to 3.7 ± 0.6 (p < 0.01). Four early post-operative deep wound infections were observed, all healed after debridement and implant retention. No mechanical complication, junctional kyphosis, deformity progression or non-union were recorded at the last follow-up. Conclusions Hi-PoAD technique proved to be safe and effective in the treatment of rigid Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis. The reason for the success is related to the combined strategies adopted, that dissipates corrective forces over several levels, reducing mechanical stress at the screw–bone interface and optimizing corrective potential.

External Dcr

Aim: To analyse the epidemiological data, surgical technique, success rate, and complications of patients who underwent external DCR in Hospital Selayang from January 2015 to December 2016. Method: Retrospective case series. Results: A total of 21 eyes of 20 patients who underwent external DCR from January 2015 to December 2016 were identified and reviewed. There were 15 females (75%) and 5 males (25%). Age ranged from 5 to 75 years old, with a median age of 56 years old (IQR 23). Twelve patients presented with epiphora while eight patients presented with symptoms of dacryocystitis. One case was congenital, two were secondary nasolacrimal duct obstruction and the rest were primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction. All patients underwent external DCR under general anaesthesia. Silicone tube were inserted in 21 eyes, of which all were removed 3 months after the surgery except one patient whom had his tube dislodged accidentally. The overall success rate was 90.5% (n = 19), which was defined as no or minimal intermittent epiphora or no reflux on lacrimal irrigation at 12 months postoperative. There was one patient who had a cerebrospinal fluid leak treated successfully with intravenous antibiotics. Conclusion: The surgical success rate for external dacryocystorhinostomy was comparable to that of the global success rate of external DCR. This is attributed to the application of surgical technique such as anterior suspended flap modification and posterior flap excision.

Abstract BackgroundThe surgical technique of radius distraction for stabilization of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) if intraoperative DRUJ instability was found after the fixation of distal radius fracture has been previously described, but this surgical technique lacks clinical and radiographic effect in minimal 3 years follow-up. We therefore evaluated the clinical outcome and radiographic results of radius distraction in minimal 3 years follow-up.MethodsWe reviewed the case series of distal radius fracture with concomitant DRUJ instability receiving radius distraction from the senior author over a 5-year period (January 1st, 2013 to June 30th, 2017) retrospectively, and the evaluation of clinical and radiographic outcomes was performed at clinic as long-term follow-up; a total 34 patients had been evaluated.ResultsAt minimal post-operative 36 months follow-up, all cases demonstrated acceptable wrist range of motion with stable DRUJs and low NRS of wrist pain (0.6, SD 0.7) and DASH score (mean 9.1, SD 6.2), and there were no cases suffering from nonunion of distal radius. The mean ulnar variance of injured wrist and uninjured wrist were − 1.2 mm and 0.2mm, respectively (SD 1.0 and 0.6) with significant statistical difference.ConclusionsRadius distraction during volar fixation of distal radius fracture should be consider if DRUJ instability was found by the radioulnar stress test intraoperatively, and the long-term DRUJ stability could be achieved by maintenance of normal-to-negative ulnar variance, with decreased wrist pain and satisfactory function outcome.Level of EvidenceTherapeutic Level IV
