N2 - Background: Conversion of ankle arthrodesis to total ankle arthroplasty remains controversial. Although satisfactory outcomes have been published, not all foot and ankle surgeons performing total ankle arthroplasty have embraced this modality. Methods: Twenty-Three total ankle arthroplasties were performed in patients who had undergone a prior or an attempted ankle arthrodesis. The mean age at surgery was fifty-nine years (range, forty-one to eighty years), and the mean duration of follow-up was 33.1 months (minimum, twelve months). Indications for the procedure were symptomatic adjacent hindfoot arthritis (twelve ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - A novel approach to juxta-articular aggressive and recurrent giant cell tumours. T2 - Resection arthrodesis using bone transport over an intramedullary nail. AU - Vidyadhara, S.. AU - Rao, Sharath K.. PY - 2007/4. Y1 - 2007/4. N2 - Aggressive juxta-articular giant cell tumours of the lower limbs occurring in young patients are a challenge to the average orthopaedic surgeon. Although it is the treatment of choice for these tumours, wide resection creates a problem for the reconstruction of large bone gaps. We describe our results after resection arthrodesis of such tumours using the technique of bone transport over a long intramedullary nail in 27 patients. This is the first and largest study of its kind in the management of giant cell tumours in the literature. All our patients fared well with this mode of treatment, and none had recurrence or major complications..

Introduction. End-stage ankle osteoarthritis is a debilitating condition. Traditionally, ankle arthrodesis (AA) has been the surgical intervention of choice but the emergence of total ankle replacement (TAR) has challenged this concept. This systematic review aims to address whether TAR or AA is optimal in terms of functional outcomes. Methods. We conducted a systematic review according to PRISMA checklist using the online databases Medline and EMBASE after January 1, 2005. Participants must be skeletally mature and suffering from ankle arthrosis of any cause. The intervention had to be an uncemented TAR comprising two or three modular components. The comparative group could include any type of ankle arthrodesis, either open or arthroscopic, using any implant for fixation. The study must have reported at least one functional outcome measure. Results. Of the four studies included, two reported some significant improvement in functional outcome in favour of TAR. The complication rate was higher in ...

The TARVA (Total Ankle Replacement versus Arthrodesis) Investigators meeting was held prior to the BOFAS AGM. TARVA stands for Total Ankle Replacement Versus Arthrodesis. The TARVA trial is a clinical trial for patients with ankle arthritis that are considering surgery. The main surgical treatments for end-stage ankle arthritis are ankle arthrodesis or total ankle replacement (TAR). Approximately 3,000 patients undergo ankle arthrodesis or TAR in the NHS each year. Both treatments are available on the NHS, and both have been reported to have good results. Some studies suggest that TAR restores a more natural walking pattern than ankle fusion but other studies have suggested that the ...

With contemporary teaching and advanced-imaging diagnostic protocols, the incidence of advanced wrist arthritis related to scaphoid nonunion and carpal instability seems to be decreasing. When this condition does present, the longstanding debate about treatment pits preserving the carpal bone mass with a 4-corner arthrodesis (FCA) against resecting the proximal row of carpal bones (proximal row carpectomy, or PRC) to provide better motion. At issue have been concerns about the durability and reoperation rates for these two treatment approaches.. In the June 17, 2020 issue of The Journal, Garcia et al. tap into the Veterans Health Administration data warehouse to help clarify this treatment dilemma. The authors identified 1,168 patients with stage-II SLAC (scapholunate advanced collapse) or SNAC (scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse) patterns of wrist arthritis. The outcomes of interest were subsequent conversion to total wrist arthrodesis and secondary surgical procedures after FCA and ...

Scaphocapitate arthrodesis with lunate excision was performed for treatment of advanced Kienböck disease in 17 patients (18 wrists). Ten were women and seven men. Five were Lichtmann Stage IIIA, 12 Stage IIIB, and one Stage IV. Minimum follow-up period was 24 months; mean follow-up was 10.7 years (range 2.3 to 22 years, SD 7.1). At the latest follow-up, six patients were very satisfied, nine were satisfied and two were disappointed. Pain was significantly decreased in all cases. Wrist mobility was unchanged. Grip strength was significantly increased. Consolidation of the arthrodesis was confirmed in 17 wrists. We encountered a scaphocapitate nonunion at 12 years follow-up and two cases of styloscaphoid arthritis at 17 and 22 years. Scaphocapitate arthrodesis with lunate excision performed in an advanced stage of Kienböck disease significantly alleviates pain, while preserving functional mobility and satisfactory grip strength in the long term. ...

Why Zyga SImmetry Is More Effective Than Other SI Joint Fusions? A True SI Joint Arthrodesis (fusion) with the immediate stability of screw fixation. I wanted my SI joints to stay stable. When they were in neutral after every Chiropractic adjustment, euphoria would start to come over my body. Life was good but as the next 24 hours progressed so did the rotation of my iliums and the rest of the spinal segment compensatons and associated muscle tensions. Dont forget about the associated Piriformis Syndrome muscle spasm too causing Sciatica nerve pain in the buttocks, thighs and when really severe down the entire leg.

Presentation of case: Two patients with charcot foot underwent tibiocalcaneal ...

Are Our Expectations Bigger than the Results We Achieve? A Comparative Study Analyzing Potential Advantages of Ankle Arthroplasty Over Arthrodesis. A recent study has concluded that patients who undergo total ankle arthroplasty (TAR) experience only minor functional improvements compared to those treated with ankle arthrodesis (AAD). The study involved 101 patients who underwent TAR and 40 who were treated with screw arthrodeses whose gaits and outcomes were analyzed and assessed during a follow-up exam. The study found that patients who were treated with TAR experienced significant improvements in pain compared to patients who underwent AAD, although patients in the TAR group experienced limited functional gains. Both procedures resulted in significant asymmetry in gait, reduced range of motion compared to normal, and improvements in outcomes as assessed by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot score and the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) questionnaire. Finally, ...

BACKGROUND: Surgical strategies to address deformities of the ankle and hindfoot in patients with Charcot arthropathy include the use of retrograde intramedullary nails and ring fixators. The literature has not shown superiority of one technique over the other. This study presents a single surgeons case series of Charcot arthropathy patients treated with either a ring fixator or retrograde intramedullary nail to achieve tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of 27 consecutive patients with Charcot arthropathy who underwent a tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis using either a retrograde intramedullary (IM) nail (n = 16 patients) or a ring fixator (RF) (n = 11 patients) by a single surgeon ...

This article presents the case of an 83-year-old woman with a peri-implant femoral fracture after hip arthrodesis in adolescence. Due to the rarity of such operations, there is no standardized approach for these cases. In order to secure the treatment goal of rapid pain-adapted full weight bearing despite reduced bone quality, it was decided to perform anew osteosynthesis with aretrograde femoral nail after removal of some fixation screws of the existing arthrodesis plate. Due to this type of treatment, the preservation of activity and independence of an older trauma patient could be sustainably secured despite operative challenges. Taking an extended osteoporosis treatment into consideration, a bony fracture consolidation and complete convalescence of activity and autonomy were ultimately achieved. ...

Recommendation XXV. In patients with knee osteoarthritis joint fusion can be considered when joint replacement has failed. This is a salvage procedure.. Joint fusion or knee arthrodesis is usually indicated when a total knee replacement becomes infected and is not reconstructable. Outcome evidence is based primarily on uncontrolled cohort studies. Patients can expect a stable knee, relatively pain free knee following joint fusion but will experience problems with function.. The research team gave this osteoarthritis treatment option a Strength of Recommendation score of 69%.. ...

Your ankle needs to be fully fused before you can drive. Please arrange for someone to take you home and look in on you in the first few days. You should rest and keep your leg elevated to control swelling. After 10 -14 days you will need to come back to have your stitches removed. You may be given a lighter weight cast. Be sure and take any pain medications as directed. Your surgeon may schedule regular x-rays to assess the extent of fusion. As the fusion gets stronger you may be allowed to start putting weight on your foot. You might need to work with a physiotherapist to learn to walk without a limp. You should plan on 10 to 12 weeks of recovery before returning to normal activities. Be sure and discuss any return to work with your surgeon. Once fusion is complete you may be given special shoe inserts or have your shoes fitted with rocker soles. Most patients make a good recovery from ankle fusion. Although you may not be able to run with a fused ankle you should be able to walk with a normal ...

How Is Arthrodesis Procedure Performed?. In an ankle fusion operation, the first step is to remove any remaining cartilage and create a level bone surface. The bones are then aligned in the proper position for the fusion.Bone can be taken from another part of the body or from a bone bank and placed in between the two bones being fused to stimulate the fusion. This is called a bone graft. Implants of metal plates, screws, or wires can be used to close the joint and position the bones next to each other. Over time, the body heals the bones to become one. Occasionally, a bone graft is needed to aid healing. ...

Is arthrodesis still the best treatment option for first metatarsophalangeal joint arthritis?-a systematic review of arthrodesis and arthroplasty outcomes

Ankle replacement, or ankle arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged articular surfaces of the human ankle joint with prosthetic components. This procedure is becoming the treatment of choice for patients requiring arthroplasty, replacing the conventional use of arthrodesis, i.e. fusion of the bones. The restoration of range of motion is the key feature in favor of ankle replacement with respect to arthrodesis. However, clinical evidence of the superiority of the former has only been demonstrated for particular isolated implant designs. Since the early 1970s, the disadvantages of ankle arthrodesis and the excellent results attained by arthroplasty at other human joints have encouraged numerous prosthesis designs also for the ankle. In the following decade, the disappointing results of long-term follow-up clinical studies of the pioneering designs has left ankle arthrodesis as the surgical treatment of choice for these patients. More modern designs have produced better ...

The Activity Based Costing approach showed that the costs of the two instrument kits are very similar, even though differences were found in the sterilisation phase (that must be carried out only in the reusable devices) and the amortization costs supported for the reusable instrument kit, only considered for the first year of use of the technology, in line with the Italian administrative law (that requires the amortization of all the deferred costs, in the first year). The results from CEA and BIA highlighted a slight advantage for the innovative technology, in terms of CEV and costs savings.. Results reported a residual better performance of the innovative technology in terms of patients safety: this is amply justified in literature, reporting that a disposable instrumentation kit could reduce the incidence of surgical site infections [12], attributing this to a reduction in exposure to air-borne bacteria in the operating room.. With regard to the organisational impact, the introduction of ...

Treatment is conditioned by the discomfort that it produces and by the appearance of pain. Some people tolerate significant deformity in the foot, wearing wider shoes.. There are several methods of surgical treatment, depending on the degree of local deformation, the presence of arthritis (joint infection) in the big toe.. The most common is the practice of removing excess bone, associated with osteotomy (bone cutting) I metatarsal bone and hallux restoration. The bones are kept in normal position by means of metal pins or screws, for 3-4 weeks. The patient must not base on the operated leg for 4 weeks, resuming movement with support and walking gradually.. Patients with big toe arthritis deformity are helped by lifting the affected joint (arthrodesis) and realignment of its bones.. ...

My name is Nicole. I have lived with severe relapsing bilateral club feet for 44 years. As an infant, I had multiple surgeries, braced, put in orthotic shoes, and casted for long periods of time. My mother says its a miracle that Im walking. My dad would have to duct tape my casts because I would wear them out pushing so hard to play and be normal. My last surgery was when I was 16 years old. Dr Swartz was contracted by the Army as a civilian doctor to treat orthopaedics. I was an Army brat!!! He spent 8 hours doing a bilateral triple arthrodesis with a second Achilles tendon lengthening. This surgery was life-changing. Once I recovered a year later. I was able to walk with a gate that was less noticeable and less likely to get the usual comments of why do you walk like that?.. I was bullied terribly, but it has made me stronger. I have lived my life pushing for normalcy. I have managed to finish one and only half marathon, hike in many parts of the world, and ride my MTB in many places. I ...

There are two types of operation which are helpful for arthritic fingers: Fusing the joint (arthrodesis) or joint replacement (arthroplasty). These are day case operations which can usually be done by awake surgery using local anaesthetic. It could be that some patients will have more than one finger joint replacement in a single operation. A small incision is made in the finger, the damaged joint is removed and the artificial joint is inserted. The artificial joint is made of silicone plastic, metal or ceramic. It functions in the same way as a healthy joint, a bit like a hinge on a door, although the movement is typically about half the range in a healthy joint. Alternatively, fusing the joint means that it is set in a fixed position and no further movement is possible. Both types of operation reliably remove the pain from arthritis but of course have different results regarding the freedom of movement in the hand ...

The naviculocuneiform joint is a joint between the navicular bone and the cuneiform bones (Figure 1). The joint is located in the mid part of the foot, on the inside. Occasionally this joint may become arthritic or it may become excessively mobile in the case of a marked-acquired adult flatfoot deformity. In some instances, it may be beneficial to fuse this joint (arthrodesis).

Fusion rate was assessed using fine cut coronal CT scans. In total, 94% of patients achieved arthrodesis. The one-level fusion rate was 98% (78/80), the two-level fusion rate was 82% (22/27), and the three-level fusion rate was 100% (3/3). While the mean follow-up time for collection of radiological data was 24 months, evidence of fusion was demonstrated as early as three to six months post-surgery in some patients (43% of one-level, 44% of 2-level).. ...

Although anterior cervical arthrodesis is an effective procedure for the treatment of cervical disorders, the method has some complications. Here, we describe this rare complication of cervical instrumentation with a literature review. A 23-year-old male patient was operated for a C6-C7 dislocation. At postoperative month 10, he presented with hemoptysis and dysphagia. Cervical roentgenograms showed anterior migrations of one broken screw and a plate-locking screw at the C6 corpus. One screw was missing. We concluded that the missing screw had perforated the esophagus and had been eliminated spontaneously through the gastrointestinal tract. No screw should migrate. Even loose screws should be noted in follow-up X-ray studies. If such findings are detected, a second operation for revision should be considered as soon as possible to prevent potentially fatal complications.

Interphalangeal fusion or arthrodesis is a surgical technique for immobilizing the distal or proximal joints of hands or legs for the treatment of pain, deformity or instability of the joint resulting from degenerative, inflammatory or posttraumatic disorders such as hammertoe and arthritis.

Kienböck disease is a condition of uncertain etiology that results in osteonecrosis of the carpal lunate. Recent studies Gay et al evaluated the use of a simple capitate osteotomy without arthrodesis, through a dorsal medial approach and fixed with staples, in 11 patients with mild forms (stage I to IIIA, Lichtman classification) of Kienboc...

A: Arthrodesis is the fusion of a joint. Bone graft is used most often around the joint to hold it together and keep it from moving. As the bone fills in around the bone chips used in the graft, a

There are multiple techniques for arthrodesis. The joint can be prepared with flat cuts or with conical reamers. Flat cuts are more technically demanding and have an increased risk of shortening the first ray. While conical reamers require specialised instrumentation, they allow more freedom to change first MTP alignment while maintaining bony contact. Fixation can include crossed lag screws or a lag screw with a dorsal plate (Fig. 5). Biomechanical testing has shown that a lag screw with a dorsal plate offers the most stable construct, although at the expense of increased cost of $604 versus $374 for crossed screws.36,37 While pre-contoured dorsal plates can offer a template to set first MTP dorsiflexion, correct positioning should be confirmed by examining toe-to-floor distance. Misplacement of these implants too proximally can lead to excessive dorsiflexion and radiographic analysis shows low correlation between the dorsal plate angle and toe-to-floor distance.38,39. Previous results for ...

Brownie was brought to Ohio and immediately seen by a vet. He was not using his back left leg and an X-ray showed that he originally fractured his pelvis and tibia. Over the past three month without treatment, his body healed but significant arthritis and degenerative changes were seen in the left knee. It is likely that there was soft tissue injury as well as bone damage to the knee at the time of the car accident, said the shelter. The only way to save his leg was to fuse together the knee joint in a surgery procedure called arthrodesis. It would stabilize the knee and reduce pain, allowing him to run and play again. However, the surgery would cost thousands of dollars. ...
