Highlights Central Fracture Dislocation of the Hip is a rare condition requiring more attention in its management. This case report presents a 57-years old female with polytrauma, abdominal blunt trauma with 7 th zone liver laceration, central fracture dislocation of the left hip associated with closed fracture left acetabulum anterior column and closed fracture left neck femur. The management for this condition has not described in many literatures. In this case, we performed femoral head autograft and total hip arthroplasty, with promising functional outcome.
Introduction An isolated sustentaculum tali fracture is a rare manifestation of orthopaedic injury involving the supporting bone of the middle calcaneal facet. Globally, the incidence is estimated to be less than 1% of all calcaneus fractures. Presentation of case We reported a 42-year-old man with persistent ankle pain and instability on the right foot following a week after a motorcycle accident. The Computed tomography evaluation showed an avulsion of the medial sustentaculum tali on the right calcaneus bone. An open reduction and internal fixation procedure was performed using two cannulated cancellous screws applied across the lateral wall through the sustentaculum bone medially. The subjective postoperative evaluation showed that the patient responded well and gradually returned to daily routine activities without pain and instability. Discussion and conclusion Surgical approach using the cannulated cancellous screw to establish a firm fixation of sustentaculum tali fracture fragment into calcaneus bone and to prevent pathological movement .
Background: Fractures contribute to a substantial proportion of the emergency department cases. Surgical procedures such as internal fixation of lower limb fractures posed a risk to develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The current diagnosis of DVT is still a challenge, as the current main parameter, the D-dimer, requires additional laboratory time and cost. Threrefore, an easier and faster alternative should be used in clinical decision making. Caprini score is among a simple method to assess the risk of a DVT, but validation is still needed before it can be implemented.Methods: This is an cross-sectional analytic study aimed to determine the relationship between Caprini scores and D-dimer level in patients with post-internal fixation of long bone fractures in lower extrimities at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar. Caprini scores were determined before surgery then D-dimer measurements were taken postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation method and ROC curve were generated to determine the cut-off point of Caprini Score equivalent of high risk DVT with the D-dimer as the predictor.Result: The average Caprini score was 9.37 (7-13). Mean preoperative D-dimer was 6.59 µg/ml (2.50-13.20 µg/ml), postoperatively 11.50 µg / ml (3.71-19.89 µg/ml) and mean delta D -Dimer 5.23 µg/ml (0.56-12.28 µg/ml). Pearson correlation test obtained a strong positive relationship (r = 0.726 and p≤0,0001). Analysis of the ROC curve to determine the cut-off point for Caprini score which equivalent to the high risk of DVT from D-dimer prediction (> 7.2 µg / ml) resulted in AUC of 0.824 (95% CI 0.669-0.979, p= 0.024) with the optimal cut-off point for Caprini score was 8.Conclusion: Caprini and D-dimer scores show a strong positive correlation. Caprini scores can be considered to estimate the risk of DVT in post-internal fixation patients of lower extremities long bone fractures. Latar Belakang. Kejadian fraktur memiliki proporsi yang substansial dari total pasien yang datang ke unit gawat darurat rumah sakit. Prosedur operasi seperti pemasangan fiksasi internal pada fraktur ekstremitas bawah memiliki resiko untuk terjadinya trombosis vena dalam (DVT). Penegakan diagnosis DVT saat ini masih merupakan suatu tantangan salah satunya karena pemeriksaan laboratorium D-dimer membutuhkan waktu dan biaya tambahan, sehingga dibutuhkan alternatif yang lebih mudah dan cepat digunakan dalam pengambilan keputusan klinis. Skor Caprini merupakan salah satu cara untuk menilai resiko terjadinya suatu DVT, akan tetapi masih diperlukan validasi sebelum dapat diimplementasikan. Metode: Penelitian cross-sectional analitik dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan Skor Caprini dengan kadar D-dimer pada pasien paska operasi fiksasi internal fraktur tulang panjang ekstremitas bawah di RSUP Sanglah Denpasar. Skor Caprini ditentuakan sebelum operasi kemudian pengukuran D-dimer dilakukan paska operasi. Analisis statistik dilakukan dengan metode korelasi Pearson dan penentan titik potong risiko DVT dengan prediktor D-dimer menggunakan metode kurva ROC.Hasil: Rerata Skor Caprini adalah 9,37 dengan rentang skor 7-13. Rerata D-dimer sebelum operasi sebesar 6,59 µg/ml (2,50-13,20 µg/ml), paska operasi 11,50 µg/ml (3,71-19,89 µg/ml) dan rerata delta D-Dimer 5,23µg/ml (0,56-12,28 µg/ml). Uji korelasi Pearson diperoleh hubungan positif kuat antara Skor Caprini dengan kadar D-dimer (nilai r=0,726 dan nilai p≤0,0001). Analisis kurva ROC untuk menentukan itik potong  Skor Caprini yang setara dengan resiko tinggi terjadinya DVT dari prediksi D-dimer (>7,2 µg/ml) memperoleh Area Under Curve 0,824 (95% CI 0,669-0,979, p = 0,024) dengan titik potong optimal skor Caprini 8.Kesimpulan: Skor Caprini dan D-dimer menunjukkan korelasi positif yang kuat pada pasien paska fiksasi internal fraktur tulang panjang ekstremitas bawah. Skor Caprini dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai acuan dalam menentukan resiko terjadinya DVT.
Background: Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty and Cephalomedullary Nailing (PFNA) are operative procedures for the management of proximal femoral fractures. Both of these surgical techniques have their respective advantages and disadvantages. This study aims to determine the differences in biological and functional outcomes. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) used to measure inflammation due to tissue damage and Harris Hip Score (HHS) used to measure functional output. This study hoped to facilitate the selection of appropriate techniques for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures.Methods: Prospective cohort study conducted among patient with proximal femoral fractures who underwent Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty and PFNA surgery. CRP levels were examined before surgery and 12 hours postoperatively. The HHS assessment was performed at weeks 4, 6, and 8 postoperatively.Results: In general, the preoperative CRP levels of the groups undergoing Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty and PFNA were not significantly different (32.4±16.7 and 33.7±17.1; p> 0.05), whereas postoperatively, Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty shown significantly higher CRP (76.5±27.3 and 42.6±17.6; p <0.0001). Similar results were also shown from the ∆CRP analysis (45.1±22.1 and 8.9±3.2; p<0.0001). The mean HHS score was higher in the Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty group than in PFNA group at each measurement. At the 4th week, the mean HHS score did not show a significant difference (52.3±4.2 vs 52.2±5.4; p>0.05). The 6th week evaluation showed Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty had a mean HHS of 76.5±4.6 while PFNA 61.4±5.4 (p <0.0001). At week 8, HHS in Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty was consistently higher than PFNA (89.43±4.5 and 74.95±4.9; p <0.0001). The Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty group was hospitalized 56% longer (6.1±1.3 and 3.9±1.3 days; p<0.0001) and the Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty had an average bleeding volume of 4.5 times more (407.4±122.8 and 90±13 ml; p <0.0001).Conclusion: Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty and PFNA procedures have significantly different functional and biological outcomes. The postoperative HHS score in Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty is better but with a higher delta CRP. Latar Belakang: Hemiarthroplasti bipolar dan Cephalomedullary Nailing (PFNA) merupakan prosedur operatif penatalaksanaan fraktur proksimal femur. Kedua prosedur tersebut menggunakan pendekatan yang berbeda utamanya pada upaya preservasi bagian proksimal femur. Kedua teknik bedah ini memiliki keuntungan dan kerugian masing-masing. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan luaran biologis dan fungsional kedua teknik tersebut. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) digunakan sebagai parameter terkait inflamasi akibat kerusakan jaringan dan Harris Hip Score (HHS) digunakan mengukur luaran fungsional. Studi ini diharapkan dapat mempermudah pemilihan teknik yang tepat untuk penanganan fraktur proksimal femur.Metode: Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kohort prospektif pada pasien dengan fraktur proksimal femur yang menjalani operasi Hemiartroplasti Bipolar dan PFNA. Kadar CRP diperiksa sebelum operasi dan 12 jam paska operasi. Penilaian HHS dilakukan pada minggu ke-4, 6, dan 8 paska operasi.Hasil: Secara umum kadar CRP preoperasi kelompok yang menjalani Hemiarthroplasti Bipolar dan PFNA tidak berbeda signifikan (32,4±16,7 dan 33,7±17,1; p>0,05), sedangkan pada paska operasi kadar CRP Hemiarthroplasti Bipolar secara signifikan lebih tinggi (76,5±27,3 dan 42,6±17,6; p<0,0001). Hasil yang sama juga ditunjukan dari analisis ∆CRP (45,1±22,1 dan 8,9±3,2; p < 0,0001). Rerata skor HHS lebih tinggi pada kelompok Hemiarthroplasti Bipolar daripada PFNA pada setiap kali pengukuran. Pada minggu ke-4 nilai rerata HHS tidak menunjukan perbedaan yang signifikan (52,3±4,2 vs 52,2±5,4, p>0,05). Evaluasi minggu ke-6 menunjukan Hemiarthroplasti Bipolar memiliki rerata HHS 76,5±4,6 sementara PFNA 61,4±5,4 (p<0,0001). Pada minggu ke-8, HHS pada Hemiarthroplasti Bipolar konsisten lebih tinggi daripada PFNA (89,43±4,5 dan 74,95±4,9; p<0,0001). Kelompok Hemiarthroplasti Bipolar menjalani rawat inap 56% lebih lama (6,1±1,3 dan 3,9±1,3 hari; p < 0,0001) serta Hemiarthroplasti Bipolar memiliki rerata volume perdarahan 4,5 kali lebih banyak (407,4±122,8 dan 90±13 ml; p < 0,0001).Kesimpulan: Prosedur Hemiarthroplasti Bipolar dan PFNA memiliki luaran fungsional dan biologis yang berbeda secara signifikan. Skor HHS pada Hemiarthroplasti Bipolar lebih baik tetapi selisih CRP yang lebih tinggi.
Background: Cemented Hip Arthroplasty is the first choice of surgical treatment in fractures of neck femur and advanced hip osteoarthritis. Nevertheless, the complication, Bone Cement Implantation Syndrome can produce intra/postoperative mortality. The systemic effects of bone cement uses is hemodynamic disturbance and pulmonary embolism. These complications are thought due to the entry of semen particles into the systemic circulation caused by increased intramedullary pressure and local vasodilation. Intramedullary flushing with epinephrine after cement implantation is one of the interventions that is expected to reduce this impact. This study aims to determine the difference in hemodynamic effects and lipid profile in patients undergone flushing with epinephrine versus NaCl 0.9%.Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 30 patients who underwent Cemented Hip Arthroplasty, randomly divided into 2 groups. Surgical procedures differ only in the components used for intramedullary flushing, namely NaCl 0.9% (control) and epinephrine 1: 50000 (intervention). Vital signs are observed and recorded at minute 2,4,6,8, and 10 after cementation. Serial data were analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA. Lipid profile examination was performed before and 12 hours postoperatively and the results were analyzed with Wilcoxon-test.Results: The study observed a decreased of mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the control group after two minutes of cementation, and reached its lowest point in the sixth minute (p <0.05). In the intervention group, the decrease occurred in second to sixth minutes, but the decrease was more stable and there was no significant difference between time-point (p> 0.05). There were no significant differences of triglyceride and cholesterol level before and 12 hours after the procedure (p> 0.05).Conclusion: Intramedullary flushing with epinephrine after semen implantation in the Cemented Hip Arthroplasty procedure results in a minimal reduction of MAP compared to flushing without epinephrine. However, there were no difference in preoperative and postoperative cholesterol and triglyceride levels.Latar Belakang: Cemented Hip Arthroplasty menjadi pilihan utama terapi pembedahan pada fraktur collum femoris (Neck of Femur) serta osteoarthritis sendi panggul stadium lanjut. Meskipun demikian, komplikasi Bone cement implantation syndrome dapat menghasilkan morbiditas dan mortalitas intra/pasca operasi. Efek sistemik dari penggunaan semen tulang adalah gangguan hemodinamik dan emboli paru yang diduga akibat masuknya dari partikel semen ke sirkulasi sistemik akibat peningkatan tekanan intrameduler dan vasodilatasi lokal. Flushing intramedula dengan epinefrin paska implantasi semen merupakan salah satu intervensi yang diharapkan mengurangi dampak tersebut. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui perbedaan dampak hemodinamik dan profil lipid pada pasien dengan flushing epinefrine dan NaCl 0,9%.Metode: Penelitian potong lintang dengan melibatkan 30 pasien yang menjalani cemented arthroplasty, dibagi rata menjadi 2 kelompok secara acak. Prosedur pembedahan hanya berbeda pada komponen yang digunakan untuk flushing intramedula, yakni NaCl 0,9% (kontrol) dan epinefirn 1:50.000 (intervensi). Tanda vital diamati dan dicatat pada menit ke-2,4,6,8, dan 10 setelah sementasi. Data serial dianalisis dengan repeated measure Anova. Pemeriksaan profil lipid dilakukan sebelum dan 12 jam pasca operasi dan hasil dianalisis dengan Wilcoxon-test. Hasil: Penurunan mean arterial pressure (MAP) pada kelompok kontrol sejak menit ke 2 setelah sementasi, dan mencapai titik terendah pada menit ke 6 (p<0,05). Pada kelompok intervensi didapatkan penurunan terjadi pada menit ke 2 hingga ke 6, tetapi penurunan lebih stabil dan tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna (p>0.05). Pada profil lipid (trigliserida dan kolesterol), tidak ditemukan perbedaan yang bermakna antara kadar sebelum operasi dan 12 jam setelah tindakan operatif (p>0,05).Kesimpulan: Flushing epinefrin paska implantasi semen pada prosedur Cemented Hip Arthroplasty menghasilkan penurunan MAP yang minimal dibandingkan flushing tanpa epinefrin. Akan tetapi, flushing epinefrin tidak memberikan perbedaan pada kadar kolesterol dan trigliserida paska operasi.
Background: Diabetes with uncontrolled glucose level offer a significant risk of acute or chronic complications. One of the chronic complications is a decrease in bone mineral density which is regulated by RANKL and OPG balance. Diabetes is estimated to slow the healing process of fracture. Both are related to fracture risk and fracture healing process. Fracture healing is characterized by measurement of callus diameter and osteocalcin expression. Aim: This research aimed to find out the difference in RANKL/OPG ratio, callus diameter and osteocalcin expression on the fracture healing in diabetic and nondiabetic rats. Methods: This is an experimental randomized post-test only with 32 Wistar rats. The population was divided into two groups, the control group did not get treatment and the second group was the diabetes modeling. On the 7th day, both groups were examined for their ratio of RANKL/OPG using ELISA and fracture was performed. On the 28th day, the rats were sacrificed, and the effects were assessed using histopathology examination of callus diameter and immunohistochemistry examination of osteocalcin expression at the fracture area. Result: Higher median ratio of RANKL/OPG in diabetic than nondiabetic rats with p = 0,000 (p <0,05). The diameter of callus on the healing of femur fracture in the nondiabetic group was higher than the diabetic group with p = 0,000 (p <0.005). Osteocalcin levels in nondiabetic group were higher than diabetic group with p = 0,000 (p <0.005). There was a negative correlation between RANKL/OPG ratio with callus diameter and osteocalcin level with a correlation coefficient of -0.701 and -0.652 respectively with p = 0,000 (p <0,05). Conclusions: Level of RANKL/OPG ratio has a negative correlation with callus size and osteocalcin expression on healed femur fractures in diabetic rats model.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequent form of degenerative joint disease that becomes a major source of disability worldwide. The loss of articular cartilage is the central etiology of osteoarthritis. Cartilage is solely composed of one cell type, the chondrocytes, which are surrounded by a large volume of extracellular matrix (ECM). Extracellular matrix components consist of two main macromolecules, namely collagen and aggrecan. The degradation of these molecules plays a significant role in OA pathological process, although degradation of less abundant molecules composing the matrix organization is also likely to contribute to disease progression. Several proteinases, including matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13) and A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs (ADAMTS) -4 and -5, are known to involve in the matrix degradation of cartilage structure. A comprehensive understanding of the various factors and pathways involved in the regulation of MMP-13, ADAMTS-4, and ADAMTS-5 is essential in regard to osteoarthritis management, as they have great potential in future therapies.
