Hemiarthroplasty versus nonoperative treatment ofdisplaced 4-part proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Olerud, MDa,*, Leif Ahrengart, MD, PhDa, Sari Ponzer, MD, PhDa,Jenny Saving, MDa, Jan Tidermark, MD, PhDa,b.
aKarolinska Institutet, Department of Clinical Science and Education, Section of Orthopaedics, Stockholm S€oder Hospital,Sweden bDepartment of Orthopaedics, Capio St G€orans Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden

Background: The aim of the study was to report the 2-year outcome after a displaced 4-part fracture of the
proximal humerus in elderly patients randomized to treatment with a hemiarthroplasty (HA) or nonoperative
treatment.
Patients and Methods: We included 55 patients, mean age 77 (range, 58-92) years, 86% being women. Follow-up examinations were done at 4, 12, and 24 months. The main outcome measures were healthrelated quality of life (HRQoL) according to the EQ-5D and the DASH and Constant scores.

Results: At the final 2-year follow-up the HRQoL was significantly better in the HA group compared to the
nonoperative group, EQ-5D index score 0.81 compared to 0.65 (P¼.02). The results forDASHand pain assessment were both in favor of the HA group, DASH score 30 versus 37 (P ¼.25) and pain according to VAS 15 versus 25 (P ¼.17). There were no significant differences regarding the Constant score or range of motion (ROM). Both groups achieved a mean flexion of approximately 90-95º and a mean abduction of 85-90º.The need for additional surgery was low: 3 patients in the HA group and 1 patient in the nonoperative group.

Conclusion: The results of the study demonstrated a significant advantage in quality of life in favor of HA,
as compared to nonoperative treatment in elderly patients with a displaced 4-part fracture of the proximal
humerus. The main advantage of HA appeared to be less pain while there were no differences in ROM.

Level of evidence: Level I, Randomized Controlled Trial, Treatment Study.

AAOS Guideline on The Treatment of Osteoporotic Spinal Compression Fractures
Summary of Recommendations
The following is a summary of the recommendations in the AAOS’ clinical practice guideline, The Treatment of Symptomatic Osteoporotic Spinal Compression fractures. This summary does not contain rationales that explain how and why these recommendations were developed nor does it contain the evidence supporting these recommendations. All readers of this summary are strongly urged to consult the full guideline and evidence report for this information. We are confident that those who read the full guideline and evidence report will see that the recommendations were developed using systematic evidence-based processes designed to combat bias, enhance transparency, and promote reproducibility.
This summary of recommendations is not intended to stand alone. Treatment decisions should be made in light of all circumstances presented by the patient. Treatments and procedures applicable to the individual patient rely on mutual communication between patient, physician, and other healthcare practitioners.
We suggest patients who present with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture on imaging with correlating clinical signs and symptoms suggesting an acute injury (0 to five days after identifiable event or onset of symptoms) and who are neurologically intact be treated with calcitonin for four weeks.
Strength of Recommendation: Moderate
Ibandronate and strontium ranelate are options to prevent additional symptomatic fractures in patients who present with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture on imaging with correlating clinical signs and symptoms.
Strength of Recommendation: Weak
We are unable to recommend for or against bed rest, complementary and alternative medicine, or opioids/analgesics for patients who present with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture on imaging with correlating clinical signs and symptoms and who are neurologically intact.
Strength of Recommendation: Inconclusive
It is an option to treat patients who present with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture at L3 or L4 on imaging with correlating clinical signs and symptoms suggesting an acute injury and who are neurologically intact with an L2 nerve root block.
Strength of Recommendation: Weak
We are unable to recommend for or against treatment with a brace for patients who present with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture on imaging with correlating clinical signs and symptoms and who are neurologically intact.
Strength of Recommendation: Inconclusive
We are unable to recommend for or against a supervised or unsupervised exercise program for patients who present with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture on imaging with correlating clinical signs and symptoms and who are neurologically intact.
Strength of Recommendation: Inconclusive
We are unable to recommend for or against electrical stimulation for patients who present with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture on imaging with correlating clinical signs and symptoms and who are neurologically intact.
Strength of Recommendation: Inconclusive
We recommend against vertebroplasty for patients who present with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture on imaging with correlating clinical signs and symptoms and who are neurologically intact.
Strength of Recommendation: Strong
Kyphoplasty is an option for patients who present with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture on imaging with correlating clinical signs and symptoms and who are neurologically intact.
Strength of Recommendation: Weak
We are unable to recommend for or against improvement of kyphosis angle in the treatment of patients who present with an osteoporotic spinal compression fracture on imaging with correlating clinical signs and symptoms.

SCCOT

És la primera vegada que escric algo així i no només un comentari com ja he fet altres vegades, o sigui, que a veure si es veu.
Voldria felicitar el nostre company Dr. villamil per al exposició que ha fet al congrès SCCOT a la meva humil ciutat. Sobretot, no només en la seva exposició clara i concisa, sinó, sobretot en la manera tan elegant que ha tingut responent la pregunta dels, a vegades maquiavèlics, companys adjunts d ela raspa.
Moltes felicitats Carlos!!!

Resident work-hour regulations

The Increased Financial Burden of Further Proposed Orthopaedic Resident Work-Hour Reductions  Atul F. Kamath, MD
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American). 2011;93:e31.doi:10.2106/JBJS.I.01676

  .....The landscape of the orthopaedic workforce is changing. An aging population, rising obesity rates, greater lifestyle expectations, and technologic advances are increasing the demand for musculoskeletal services. At the same time, teaching institutions are under strain amidst resident work-hour regulations and the need to balance patient care and education. These goals collide in today's economic climate. As lawmakers, patient advocates, and academic centers consider implementation of further resident work-hour restrictions, the fiscal viability of these proposals remains unknown.

In 2003, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) reduced resident duty hours to no more than eighty hours per week, averaged over a four-week period. The ACGME implemented these limits out of concern that resident fatigue endangered patients and the residents themselves. The regulations were rooted in the 2001 New York State mandate. A growing body of literature underscores the benefits and shortfalls of reduced resident work hours on patient safety  resident morale, quality of life, and education and operative experience. One factor not often discussed is the financial impact of the reduced hours—to our knowledge, no study has evaluated the economic impact of reduced hours in orthopaedic resident education.

Early research on the duty limits shows resident fatigue is still a major problem. This prompted the Institute of Medicine in December 2008 to suggest further work-hour modification, while other discussions of resident work hours have included reductions to as low as fifty-six hours. Furthermore, some state legislators have discussed criminalizing duty-hour violators. Residents in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Denmark, New Zealand, and France, work between thirty-seven and seventy-two hours per week. However, physician labor-supply shortages and insufficient training are a problem in these countries.

In light of these calls for additional duty limits, we examined the economic implications of a fifty-six-hour work-week regulation for orthopaedic training programs. Through the use of pilot-survey data, we undertook a cost-sensitivity analysis. Our hypothesis, based on workforce data after the eighty-hour work-week restrictions, was that the economic impact of furthered reduced hours, especially if not funded by the government, may make the orthopaedic resident workforce unsustainable...


Curiós com a l'hora de canviar els horaris dels residents a USA ja calculen el efecte en hores de treball de mes que s'hauran de contractar als hospitals docents  i , que si les ha de pagar l'administració pot ser insostenible...mentre que aquí s'han reduït les hores, es possible que minvi la formació pràctica i de contractar ni "hablar".
Per cert allà els resis fan des de 2003 unes 80 h per setmana unes 3200h. al any per assolir una formació correcte.

engineering orthopedic tissues

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2817661/

While a wide variety of approaches to engineering orthopedic tissues have been proposed, less attention has been paid to the interfaces, the specialized areas that connect two tissues of different biochemical and mechanical properties. The interface tissue plays an important role in transitioning mechanical load between disparate tissues. Thus, the relatively new field of interfacial tissue engineering presents new challenges—to not only consider the regeneration of individual orthopedic tissues, but also to design the biochemical and cellular composition of the linking tissue. Approaches to interfacial tissue engineering may be distinguished based on if the goal is to recreate the interface itself, or generate an entire integrated tissue unit (such as an osteochondral plug). As background for future efforts in engineering orthopedic interfaces, a brief review of the biology and mechanics of each interface (cartilage–bone, ligament–bone, meniscus–bone, and muscle–tendon) is presented, followed by an overview of the state-of-the-art in engineering each tissue, including advances and challenges specific to regenerating the interfaces.

Because of a higher intra-operative blood loss (p < 0.001), an increased duration of the operation (p < 0.001) and a higher number of early and late dislocations (p = 0.002), we do not recommend THR as the treatment of choice in patients aged ≥ 70 years with a fracture of the femoral neck in the absence of advanced radiological osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis of the hip...
