[PMID: 36635125 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2022.10.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate patient and radiographic factors that may correlate with the time to flexor tendon rupture following volar plate fixation of distal radius fractures. METHODS A total of 31 patients who underwent volar plate removal because of flexor tendon rupture were analyzed. Patient demographics and the interval from operative fixation until rupture were determined retrospectively. Volar tilt and lateral carpal alignment were measured radiographically. The Soong classification was used to grade volar plate prominence. The correlation between the duration to tendon rupture and volar tilt, carpal alignment, and age was evaluated. RESULTS There were 7 men and 24 women. Mean age at the time of hardware removal and flexor tendon management was 66 years (n = 31). Radiographs were classified as Soong 1 (n = 24) and Soong 2 (n = 3). The mean measured volar tilt was -4° (range, -20°-+7°). The mean interval from operative fixation until complete tendon rupture was 4.9 years, (range, 0.3-13.1 years; n = 30). There was no correlation between the time interval to rupture and the magnitude of tilt, carpal alignment, or age at the time of operative fixation. CONCLUSIONS Although volar plate prominence was present in all patients with flexor tendon ruptures, radiographic parameters including the degree of dorsal tilt, lateral carpal alignment, and patient age did not correlate with the time interval from fixation to tendon rupture. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic IV.

In vivo study on the repair of rat Achilles tendon injury treated with non-thermal atmospheric-pressure helium microplasma jet. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0301216. [PMID: 38743641 PMCID: PMC11093389 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0301216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma (NTAPP) has been widely studied for clinical applications, e.g., disinfection, wound healing, cancer therapy, hemostasis, and bone regeneration. It is being revealed that the physical and chemical actions of plasma have enabled these clinical applications. Based on our previous report regarding plasma-stimulated bone regeneration, this study focused on Achilles tendon repair by NTAPP. This is the first study to reveal that exposure to NTAPP can accelerate Achilles tendon repair using a well-established Achilles tendon injury rat model. Histological evaluation using the Stoll's and histological scores showed a significant improvement at 2 and 4 weeks, with type I collagen content being substantial at the early time point of 2 weeks post-surgery. Notably, the replacement of type III collagen with type I collagen occurred more frequently in the plasma-treated groups at the early stage of repair. Tensile strength test results showed that the maximum breaking strength in the plasma-treated group at two weeks was significantly higher than that in the untreated group. Overall, our results indicate that a single event of NTAPP treatment during the surgery can contribute to an early recovery of an injured tendon.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2024; 34:879-884. [PMID: 37750974 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-023-03730-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE There exists a gap in the knowledge of the impact of smoking on Achilles tendon rupture repair. This study evaluates perioperative and postoperative complications associated with smoking to allow for a more informed evaluation and discussion with the patients when considering the surgical management of Achilles tendon repair in this patient population. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for patients undergoing Achilles tendon rupture repair from 2006 to 2019. Two patient cohorts were defined in this retrospective study: smokers and patients who did not smoke. The various patient demographics, medical comorbidities, and postoperative outcomes were compared using bivariate and multivariate analyses between the smoking and non-smoking groups. RESULTS Of 4209 patients who underwent Achilles tendon repair, 3662 patients (87%) did not smoke, whereas 547 patients (13%) were smokers. Patients who were smokers were more likely to be younger and have a higher body mass index. Following multivariate analyses, those who smoked had an increased risk of experiencing wound dehiscence (OR 3.57; p = 0.013) and urinary tract infections (OR 1.21; p = 0.033) compared to non-smoking patients. CONCLUSION Despite the rate of complications being relatively low in the short-term perioperative period, individuals who smoke should be counseled on the surgical risks they may experience following Achilles tendon repair, including wound dehiscence and urinary tract infections. Discussion preoperatively between the physician and patient who smoke can include ways in which postoperative care will be done to minimize the risk of adverse events, ultimately reducing costs for both the patient and the hospital.

Ashour O, Al-Huneidy L, Noordeen H. The implications of vaping on surgical wound healing: A systematic review. Surgery 2023; 173:1452-1462. [PMID: 36997424 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2023.02.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND E-cigarette use is rapidly growing, and little is known about the postoperative complications. Cigarette smoking has been well-established to be associated with delayed wound healing and increased complications in surgical patients. Due to the intricate and harmonious nature of the wound-healing process, vaping may impair tissue regeneration, posing a risk for patients undergoing surgery. This systematic review aimed to review the evidence on the implications of vaping on wound healing. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed and Scopus databases was conducted on October 2022 per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The following keywords were used to conduct the search: vaping, vape, e-cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, wound healing, tissue regeneration, postoperative complications, wound infection, and blood flow. RESULTS Of 5,265 screened articles, only 37 were eligible for qualitative synthesis. A total of 18 articles studied the effect of e-cigarettes on human volunteers, 14 investigated e-cigarette extract on human cell lines, and 5 used animal rat models. CONCLUSION Despite limited objective data, the recommendation is that e-cigarettes be treated as tobacco cigarettes; hence, vaping should be stopped in the perioperative period to decrease the incidence of wound healing complications. Clinical trials are required to understand the health hazards of e-cigarettes further and maximize patient safety and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is mainly based on 2 proven biomechanical concepts: suture bridge and tension band. This Technical Note describes the use of a combination of these 2 techniques to repair extensive lesions with only 3 anchors. Besides being less expensive, the use of a limited number of anchors is part of a global medicoeconomic and eco-responsible approach to our surgical activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermatologic surgeons are faced with a dilemma when counseling actively smoking patients who require dermatologic surgery: recommend total cessation of all nicotine that is associated with extremely high rates of cessation failure or recommend nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). OBJECTIVE To determine the safety of NRT in dermatologic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed was queried: [(nicotine OR electronic cigarettes) AND (flap OR wound healing)]. RESULTS Smoking tobacco is detrimental to wound healing, supported by ample evidence (1A). Perioperative smoking cessation reduces risk (1B). Basic science demonstrates both a benefit and detriment of nicotine depending on the factor studied (2A). Human studies suggest no detrimental effect of nicotine on perioperative complications (1B). Nicotine may be detrimental to flaps, but evidence is limited to basic science (2A). CONCLUSION Dermatologists should consider recommending nicotine replacement for smokers in the perioperative period. Evidence is lacking to determine safety in flaps. It is presumed based on animal studies that nicotine has a negative effect on flaps; however, it is likely less than tobacco. Weighing the risk of cessation failure without nicotine replacement versus nicotine replacement after flap is challenging. Electronic cigarettes should be discouraged as a means of NRT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Little data exists regarding the effects of vaporized nicotine on healing. Our goal was to compare vaporized nicotine, combusted nicotine and control with respect to bone healing in a rat femur fracture model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-five male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three equal cohorts. Rats were exposed to two cigarettes daily, an equivalent dose of vaporized nicotine, or control, six days a week. Exposures occurred for 4 weeks prior to iatrogenic femur fracture and intramedullary repair. Four additional weeks of exposure occurred prior to sacrifice. Radiographic, biomechanical and histologic analysis was conducted. RESULTS No significant difference between the three groups was identified for total mineralized bone volume (p = 0.14), total volume of mature bone (p = 0.12) or immature bone (p = 0.15). Importantly, less total mineralized bone volume and immature bone volume was seen in the vaporized nicotine group compared to combusted tobacco, but results were not significant. Biomechanical testing revealed no significant difference in group torsional stiffness (p = 0.92) or maximum torque (p = 0.31) between the three groups. On histologic analysis, chi-square testing showed no significant difference in any category. CONCLUSIONS This exploratory study compared combusted nicotine, vaporized nicotine and a control on rat femur fractures. While no statistically significant differences were identified, there were trends showing less total mineralized bone volume and immature bone volume in the vaporized nicotine group compared to the other groups. Additional study is warranted based on our findings.

Comparison of Outcomes Between Nonsmokers and Patients Who Discontinued Smoking 1 Month Before Primary Hip Arthroscopy: A Propensity-Matched Study With Minimum 2-Year Follow-up. Orthop J Sports Med 2022; 10:23259671221097372. [PMID: 35693458 PMCID: PMC9185012 DOI: 10.1177/23259671221097372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Cigarette smoking has been shown to negatively affect outcomes after hip
arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). The effect of
cessation of cigarette smoking before surgery has not been well
established. Purposes: (1) To report minimum 2-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of former
smokers who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS and (2) to compare
these results with those of a propensity-matched control group of
nonsmokers. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Data were collected for all patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy
for FAIS between December 2008 and November 2017. Patients were eligible if
they indicated that they had previously smoked cigarettes but had quit
smoking at least 1 month before surgery and had minimum 2-year postoperative
outcomes for the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Nonarthritic Hip Score
(NAHS), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. The percentage of hips
achieving the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) were recorded.
The study group was then propensity matched in a 1:1 ratio by age, sex, and
body mass index (BMI) to patients who had never smoked. Results: A total of 83 former-smoking patients (84 hips; age, 45.0 ± 13.5 years) were
included at a median follow-up of 38.6 months (interquartile range,
27.5-48.2 months); all patients had stopped smoking at a mean ± standard
deviation of 14.3 ± 24.5 months preoperatively. Former smokers demonstrated
significant improvement from preoperatively to the minimum 2-year follow-up
for all recorded PROs (P < .001 for all) and achieved
the MCID for the mHHS, NAHS, and VAS at favorable rates (75.0%-81.6%).
Logistic regression analysis did not identify a significant relationship
between cessation time and rates of achieving MCID for mHHS, NAHS, or VAS.
When compared with 84 never-smokers (84 hips), the former smokers
demonstrated similar preoperative scores, postoperative scores, and
improvement on all recorded PROs (P > .05 for all). Both
groups achieved MCID for mHHS, NAHS, and VAS at similar rates and
demonstrated similar rates of revision surgery. Conclusion: Former smokers who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS demonstrated
significant improvement in PROs at minimum 2-year follow-up. When compared
with a propensity-matched control group of never-smokers, they achieved
similar postoperative PROs and rates of achieving psychometric
thresholds.

Abstract
Background: There is limited literature evaluating patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in
cigarette smokers undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular
impingement syndrome (FAIS) at midterm follow-up. Purpose: (1) To report minimum 5-year PROs for cigarette-smoking patients who
underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS and (2) to compare these results
with a propensity-matched control group of never-smoking patients. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Data were collected for all patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopy
for FAIS between June 2009 and March 2016. Patients were eligible if they
indicated that they smoked cigarettes within 1 month of surgery and had
minimum 5-year postoperative outcomes for the modified Harris Hip Score,
Nonarthritic Hip Score, Hip Outcome Score–Sport Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS),
and International Hip Outcome Tool–12 (iHOT-12). The percentages of patients
achieving the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) and maximum outcome
improvement satisfaction threshold were recorded. The study group was then
propensity matched in a 1:2 ratio to patients who had never smoked for
comparison. Results: Included were 35 patients (35 hips) with a mean age of 39.4 ± 13.0 years and
mean follow-up of 64.6 ± 4.1 months. These patients demonstrated significant
improvement from preoperatively to a minimum 5-year follow-up for all
recorded PROs (P < .05). When compared with 70 control
patients (70 hips), smoking patients demonstrated significantly worse
preoperative scores for all PROs (P < .05). Study
patients also demonstrated worse minimum 5-year scores for all recorded PROs
compared with control patients, which did not reach statistical significance
but trended toward significance for HOS-SSS (70.4 vs 81.9;
P = .076) and iHOT-12 (74.7 vs 82.2; P
= .122). Smoking patients also trended toward lower rates of achieving PASS
for the iHOT-12 compared with never-smoking patients (50.0% vs 68.2%;
P = .120). Conclusion: Patients who smoked cigarettes and underwent primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS
demonstrated significant improvement in PROs at a minimum 5-year follow-up.
When compared with a propensity-matched control group of never-smokers, they
trended toward lower postoperative HOS-SSS and iHOT-12 scores and lower
rates of achieving PASS on the iHOT-12.
