Background:
Osteoporosis is characterized by a low bone mass of bone tissue. If
osteoporosis is not treated properly, it will increase the high risk of
fracture. The common causes of fracture on osteoporosis condition due to
falls. This study aims to find the correlation between the risk of
osteoporosis with fall risk (ONTARIO) based on osteoporosis fracture risk
(FRAX)
Methods:
This study is an analytic study with a cross-sectional method. We collected
the sample using random cluster sampling in the six primary health care in
Malang on different times service since August–September 2021. Total patient
139, however only 132 patients were included in this study. After collecting
data is complete, we analyze using Chi-square tests.
Results:
The mean age of participants was 63.9 ± 7.14. with the age group was
dominated by the range of 60–64. It was found that the result of the FRAX
SCORE had a low-risk category for major fracture osteoporosis and risk hip
fracture. In contrast, from the OSTA score in this study, more than 68
participants (50.8%) were found medium and high-risk scores. Then, in
ONTARIO score of the risk fall assessment, and high score in 57 participants
(43.2%). If compared between OSTA and ONTARIO, there was a significant
relationship between OSTA score and ONTARIO score
(
p
< 0.000) with high-risk OSTA have a significant
relationship with a high risk of falling and vice versa.
Conclusion:
In this study, there was a relationship between the risk of high osteoporosis
and the risk of falling.
Background: The number of lumbar spine surgery increased in recent years. Spinal instrumentation surgery was an integral component in the treatment of spinal pathologies, which can cause surgical site infection (SSI). Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity after spinal instrumentation surgery. The management of SSI was implant retention and removal is still unclear. Objective: The objective of this literature is to systematically review the implant removal and retention method for SSI management after spinal instrumentation surgery. Methods: We searched in PubMed and ScienceDirect for cohort and randomized control trial studies in English, published between 2002 and 2022, which had data on patients with spinal instrumentation surgery. The underlying disease, comorbidities, common bacteria, type of infection, the onset of infection, implant removal, and retention percentage and recommendation were analyzed. Bias analysis using Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment. Results: We included 15 studies with a total sample were 2.584 with an average of age 15 to 66 years old. The most common organism detected were S. Aureus, MRSA, and S. Epidermis. The most common surgical procedure indications were degenerative followed by scoliosis. Implant removal and retention rate were 0-100% and 0-90,32% respectively. Implant removal is more frequently used in patients after spinal instrumentation surgery than the implant retention method. Conclusion: Implant retention can be performed in case of SSI is < 3 months after surgery. Implant removal is recommended if the incidence of SSI is > 3 months. Empirical antibiotics therapy is necessary to reduce the possibility of implant removal after debridement. Further studies on the effect of implant removal and retention in patients on infection recurrence, pain, and quality of life of patients are needed.
Introduction: Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a disease characterized by the formation of tumors or cysts in many different parts of the body caused by germline. The prevalence of this autosomal dominant condition is very rare. Understanding of clinical manifestasion and diagnostic criteria is needed.
Case Report: Female, 22-year-old was reffered from orthopaedic department suffered from blurred and misalignment of the left eye since 3 months ago . Based on indirect funduscopy examination, we found disc swelling with exudative retinal detachment on her left eye and orange-reddish retinal mass concluded as Retinal Capillary Hemangioblastoma (RCH) with tortuosity and dilatation of blood vessel on her right eye. The MRI showed multiple masses in cervical to lumbar vertebrae and multiple cyst on pancreatic gland.
Discussion: This patient had 1 ocular RCH, multiple spinal tumor and multiple pancreatic cysts with no confirmed family history, therefore almost fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of VHL. To further confirm the diagnosis, it was necessary to find other common comorbids of VHL such as gene testing of VHL heterozygous germline mutation. Interdisciplinary approach consists of not only diagnostic and treatment plans from one speciality department, but also the ones from other related divisions and departments.
Conclusion: Screening and interdiciplinary approach in managing Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome are required to be performed promptly.
Background: The most common misdiagnosed low backpain is result from the sacroiliac joint. There are a lot of methods we can use to treat it such as steroid injection. This method can be done by using landmark-guided technique or image-guided. Unfortunately, not all hospital in this country has the same facility to do image-guided technique using fluoroscopy to do the injection. Therefore, landmark-guided technique still could be used for the treatment of choice.Methods: In this research, authors did injection on sacroiliac joint of 7 preserved cadavers, on both sacroiliac joint, injection were done by 2 operators, which both are 5th- year residents of Orthopedic and Traumatology Department using 2 coloring markers, therefore each of operator got 14 injection spots. Operator 1 uses methyl red, and operator 2 uses methylene blue. The success of the injection evaluated visually. If operator 1 achieved the injection, the sacroiliac joint would be bright red coloured. If operator 2 achieved the injection, the sacroiliac joint would be blue coloured. If both operator achieved the injection on the same joint, the mixture of both will be dark green coloured.Results: The result shown the success of both operator in doing injection for the sacroiliac joint is 9 joints (32.14%). There were 5 joints (17.86%) done by operator 1, and 4 joints (14.28%) done by operator 2. Operator 1 failed on 9 (32.14%) joints and operator 2 failed on 10 (35.72%) . The data was statistically analysed using Fisher Exact Test, result in p value 0.500 (p >0.05).Conclusions: In conclusion there is no significantly different the success of the injection between operator 1 and 2. The failure of the injection on sacroiliac joint could be affected by many factors such as injection technique, and anatomy variations of the sample.
