Abstract
Every surgeon may have experienced a tragic event associated with death or debilitation secondary to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) after foot and ankle trauma and surgery. Nevertheless, the prevention of such a tragic event needs to be carefully evaluated rationally with currently available epidemiologic data. With great postoperative protocols and access to care, most PE events can be prevented. There are modifiable risk factors, such as length/type of immobilization and operative trauma/time that can lower the incidence of DVT/PE. In addition, chemical prophylaxis may be warranted in certain people within the foot and ankle trauma population.

Abstract
Objectives Fracture is a common injury after a traumatic event. The efficacy and safety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to treat acute pain related to fractures is not well established. Methods Clinically relevant questions were determined regarding NSAID use in the setting of trauma-induced fractures with clearly defined patient populations, interventions, comparisons and appropriately selected outcomes (PICO). These questions centered around efficacy (pain control, reduction in opioid use) and safety (non-union, kidney injury). A systematic review including literature search and meta-analysis was performed, and the quality of evidence was graded per the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. The working group reached consensus on the final evidence-based recommendations. Results A total of 19 studies were identified for analysis. Not all outcomes identified as critically important were reported in all studies, and the outcome of pain control was too heterogenous to perform a meta-analysis. Nine studies reported on non-union (three randomized control trials), six of which reported no association with NSAIDs. The overall incidence of non-union in patients receiving NSAIDs compared with patients not receiving NSAIDs was 2.99% and 2.19% (p=0.04), respectively. Of studies reporting on pain control and reduction of opioids, the use of NSAIDs reduced pain and the need for opioids after traumatic fracture. One study reported on the outcome of acute kidney injury and found no association with NSAID use. Conclusions In patients with traumatic fractures, NSAIDs appear to reduce post-trauma pain, reduce the need for opioids and have a small effect on non-union. We conditionally recommend the use of NSAIDs in patients suffering from traumatic fractures as the benefit appears to outweigh the small potential risks.

NHANES cross sectional study of aspirin and fractures in the elderly. Sci Rep 2023; 13:1879. [PMID: 36725971 PMCID: PMC9892582 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29029-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone fractures are a global public health concern, yet no thorough investigation of low-dose aspirin usage to prevent fractures in the elderly has been conducted. Many interventional human and animal studies have tried to detect the correct role of low-dose aspirin on fractures in elderly persons. The literature doesn't consist of a retrospective observational study that includes a large number of older individuals and evaluates the accurate effect of aspirin on the fractures post falling from low heights. This cross-sectional includes 7132 elderly persons and aimed to detect if there was a link between taking low-dose aspirin to prevent fractures in the elderly. Data was extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for 2017-2020 and 2013-2014. Demographic and examination data were collected during in-home interviews and study visits to a mobile examination center. Standardized questionnaires were used to collect information such as age, gender, race, educational level, and family income-to-poverty ratio. Body mass index (BMI), weight, standing height, upper leg length, upper arm length, arm circumference, and wrist circumference were all measured during the examination. The study examined 8127 patients, with 7132 elderly patients suitable for data analysis. The odds ratio of fractures due to a fall from standing height or less was 0.963 (95 percent confidence interval 0.08-1.149) in low-dose aspirin users, while having parents with osteoporosis had a related risk of 1.23. (95 percent confidence interval 0.81-1.8). The total number of fractures was 1295; with hip fractures constituting up to 13.82%, wrist fractures of 66.56%, and spine fractures of 19.61%. There was no significant difference in femur and spine bone mineral density (BMD) in the two groups (use low dose aspirin and don't use). Females had a 5.6 times greater fracture risk related to a fall from standing height or less (1 time or more) than males (P-value < 0.001). Furthermore, taking aspirin had no effect on the occurrence of fractures from standing height or less in older people (P-value = 0.468). In addition, the logistic regression after performing the propensity matching score confirmed that there was no impact of taking aspirin on the occurrence of fractures (P-value > 0.05). This cross-sectional study reveals that taking low-dose aspirin to prevent fractures in the elderly is statistically insignificant. However, fractures are more common in older persons, especially in older women; thus, more widespread injury prevention initiatives and access to osteoporosis prevention and diagnosis for older people should improve to minimize the overall burden.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of early inflammatory reaction on ovarian reserve of patients with ovarian endometriomas after laparoscopic cystectomy. Our retrospective case series included 112 patients with ovarian endometriomas that underwent the laparoendoscopic single-site cystectomy. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), hs-CRP, tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and AMH level were detected during perioperative and postoperative period. In our study, ovarian endometriomas with low AMH group were found having higher level of IL-6 than the normal AMH group in the preoperative status. On the 3rd day after operation, the change of AMH level was inversely proportional to the IL-6 level. During the follow-up within one year, it was found that the bilateral nature of the cyst and the postoperative IL-6 increased level were the risk factors for AMH not returning to baseline level. Our results suggested that inflammatory reaction is indeed involved in the damage of ovarian reserve during laparoscopic cystectomy. Hence, the negative impact of inflammatory injury should be fully considered before operation, especially young women with bilateral ovarian endometriomas.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? Ovarian reserve in women always was reduced after the laparoscopic cystectomy. It is reported that it may be related to the use of energy instruments, haemostatic methods or the size of cysts in minimally invasive surgery.What do the results of this study add? Inflammatory reaction is indeed involved in the damage of ovarian reserve during LESS cystectomy. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) may act as the most main inflammatory factor aggravating damage of the ovarian reserve. Moreover, increased IL-6 level after surgery and bilateral cyst burden are the two risk factors for AMH not returning to baseline level within one year after surgery.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? In clinic, the negative impact of inflammatory injury on ovarian reserve should be fully considered before operation, especially young women with bilateral ovarian endometriomas. Moreover, this is also the clinical basis for further study on the mechanism of inflammatory ovarian injury or the method of blocking the inflammatory response to reduce the damage of ovarian reserve after surgery.

Abstract
Bone tissues are one of the most complex tissues in the body that regenerate and repair themselves spontaneously under the right physiological conditions. Within the limitations of treating bone defects, mimicking tissue engineering through the recruitment of scaffolds, cell sources and growth factors, is strongly recommended. Aspirin is one of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and has been used in clinical studies for many years due to its anti-coagulant effect. On the other hand, aspirin and other NSAIDs activate cytokines and some mediators in osteoclasts, osteoblasts and their progenitor cells in a defect area, thereby promoting bone regeneration. It also stimulates angiogenesis by increasing migration of endothelial cells and the newly developed vessels are of emergency in bone fracture repair. This review covers the role of aspirin in bone tissue engineering and also, highlights its chemical reactions, mechanisms, dosages, anti-microbial and angiogenesis activities.

Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of evidence to stratify recommendations for chemoprophylaxis following distal lower extremity trauma. Methods: Literature review identified primary studies investigating venous thromboembolism (VTE) chemoprophylaxis following traumatic injury distal to the knee. Inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials in adult patients treated with and without operative intervention. Each primary study was assessed by the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials 2010 checklist and Modified Coleman methodology score. Results: Literature review resulted in 462 studies, of which 9 met inclusion and exclusion criteria. All studies included low molecular weight heparin as a treatment group with 2 (22%) also including a treatment group with a direct factor Xa inhibitor. Five studies (56%) used placebo as a control group. The mean Modified Coleman Methodology score was 63% (range 51%–72%), a categorical rating of Fair. The mean Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials score was 78% (range 56%–97%). Most studies (89%) screened all asymptomatic subjects for deep venous thrombosis. Statistical significance in VTE incidence among prophylactic treatment groups was not achieved in 78%. Conclusions: Development of consensus for VTE prophylaxis recommendations following traumatic injury distal to the knee is complicated by heterogenous study populations, low incidence of VTE in study populations, and inconsistent definitions of clinically important VTE. Low molecular weight heparin is not consistently superior for preventing VTE. Chemoprophylaxis should be considered on an individual basis in the presence of additional risk factors, although an externally validated, evidence-based risk assessment tool does not currently exist. Level of Evidence: IV, therapeutic

Abstract
» A substantial proportion of patients undergoing orthopaedic care are prescribed some form of anticoagulant medication, whether for perioperative venous thromboembolism prophylaxis or chronic anticoagulation in the setting of a cardiac or other condition. » An abundance of preclinical data suggests that many commonly used anticoagulant medications may have a harmful effect on bone-healing. » The orthopaedic surgeon should be informed and mindful of the added variable that anticoagulation may play in the outcomes of fracture treatment and bone-healing. » Heparin and warfarin appear to have a greater detrimental impact than low-molecular-weight heparin. Factor Xa inhibitors may confer the least risk, with some studies even suggesting the potential for enhancement of bone-healing.
