Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sports activity can cause elbow osteoarthritis, which subsequently induces bone deformity. Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum develops defects of articular surfaces and can exacerbate bone deformity. This study aimed to investigate whether OCD exacerbates deformities in sports-related elbow osteoarthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients who underwent bilateral computed tomography preoperatively followed by surgery for sports-related elbow osteoarthritis were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of an OCD history: OCD + (n = 6) and OCD- (n = 15). Bilateral three-dimensional bone models of the humerus, ulna, and radius were created using computed tomography data, and bone deformities were extracted by subtracting healthy mirror models from the affected models using a Boolean operation. Bone deformities were divided into 22 regions in the 3 bones. The volume of the deformity was estimated by correlating the anteroposterior and lateral diameters of the OCD and by comparing the two groups. RESULTS The anteroposterior diameter of the OCD correlated with the articular surface of the medial trochlear notch, whereas the lateral diameter correlated with the whole ulna, medial gutter of the ulna, whole radius, and lateral side of the radial head. The deformities were 2.2 times larger in the whole humerus, 1.9 times larger in the whole ulna, and 3.0 times larger in the whole radius in the OCD + group than in the OCD- group. The deformities were significantly larger in the OCD + group than in the OCD- group in the radial fossa, posterior capitellum, medial gutter, and lateral gutter in the humerus, medial gutter in the ulna, and lateral, anterior, and posterior sides of the radial head. CONCLUSION Larger OCD exacerbated deformity in elbow OA, and the presence of OCD exacerbated deformities in sports-related elbow OA. These results demonstrate the highlight of preventing OCD progression.

Bone resorption of the greater tuberosity after open reduction and internal fixation of complex proximal humeral fractures: fragment characteristics and intraoperative risk factors. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2021; 30:1626-1635. [PMID: 33038499 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.09.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2020] [Revised: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS AND BACKGROUND In complex proximal humeral fractures, bone resorption of the greater tuberosity is sometimes observed after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). However, this has not been well characterized, and risk factors for resorption are not completely understood. We aimed (1) to identify the risk factors associated with bone resorption of the greater tuberosity and (2) to quantify the geometric and bone density characteristics associated with bone resorption using 3-dimensional computed tomography models in complex proximal humeral fractures treated with ORIF. METHODS We identified a retrospective cohort of 136 patients who underwent ORIF of 3- or 4-part proximal humeral fractures; greater tuberosity resorption developed after ORIF in 30 of these patients. We collected demographic, fracture-related, and surgery-related characteristics and performed multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify factors independently associated with the development of greater tuberosity resorption. Furthermore, we identified 30 age- and sex-matched patients by use of propensity score matching to perform quantitative fragment-specific analysis using 3-dimensional computed tomography models. After the fragment of the greater tuberosity was identified, the number of fragments, the relative fragment volume to the humeral head, and the relative bone density to the coracoid process were calculated. Measurements were compared between matched case-control groups. RESULTS We found that an unreduced greater tuberosity (odds ratio [OR], 10.9; P < .001), inadequate medial support at the calcar (OR, 15.0; P < .001), and the use of an intramedullary fibular strut (OR, 4.5; P = .018) were independently associated with a higher risk of bone resorption. Quantitative fragment-specific analysis showed that greater tuberosities with a larger number of fragments (5 ± 2 vs. 3 ± 2, P = .021), smaller fragments (9.9% ± 3.8% vs. 18.6% ± 4.7%, P < .001), and fragments with a lower bone density (66.4% ± 14.3% vs. 88.0% ± 18.4%, P = .001) had higher rates of resorption. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION An unreduced greater tuberosity or inadequate medial support increases the risk of greater tuberosity resorption, as do a larger number of fracture fragments, smaller fragments, and lower bone density. Additionally, fibular strut grafting is an independent risk factor for tuberosity resorption. Further study is needed, but alternatives to strut grafting such as femoral head allograft may warrant serious consideration.

[PMID: 32509427 PMCID: PMC7263855 DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1702199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2019] [Accepted: 01/07/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Background The volar scaphoid plate from Medartis (Medartis AG, Austrasse, Basel, Switzerland) is a variable angle titanium locking plate, preformed for the volar aspect of the scaphoid. It does not have compressive capability, and may act as a bridging device. It may provide an advantage over a compression screw where the pathoanatomy is less favorable to such a device with increased rotational stability. It may act as a buttress plate for correction of humpback deformity for example. It has been used in nonunions and with vascularized grafts. Questions Our study aims to assess the results of our patients with scaphoid nonunion treated with scaphoid volar plating over a larger number of patients. We aim to identify techniques to increase the success of plating. Methods Patients from our cohort were retrospectively reviewed. Operations were performed by three hand fellowship trained surgeons and in two centers. Inclusion involved a scaphoid plate procedure for a nonunion of the scaphoid with a minimum of 6 months of follow-up. Exclusions were those who had less than 6 months of follow-up. Data included demographics, patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE), a quick disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (qDASH), visual analogue score, and range and grip. Radiology was reviewed. Results Thirty-two eligible patients were assessed. The mean age was 25 years (range 13-46), 2 were female and 15 were smokers. Mean follow-up postsurgery was 18 months. Twenty-nine of 32 patients united (90.6%) on computed tomography scan. Clinical assessment was performed in the 25 patients. The mean qDASH score was 12.5 (range 0-42) and mean PRWE was 11 (range 0-54). The mean arc of motion was 115 degrees. The mean grip strength was 39 kg compared with 41 kg on the nonoperated side. Conclusion We postulate that the plate acts like an internal bridging device, acting over a small distance, and inherent stability of the construct with structural graft and accurate reduction prior to plating is advantageous. Potential problems include plate impingement on the volar lip of the radius, particularly when trying to plate more proximal fractures. Ideally, it is utilized for mid to distal waist fractures.

Abstract
Osteophytes are associated with later stage osteoarthritis and are most commonly described using semiquantitative radiographic grading systems. A detailed understanding of osteophyte formation is, in part, limited by the ability to quantify bone pathology. Osteophytes can be quantified relative to pre-osteoarthritic bone, or to the contralateral bone if it is healthy; however, in many cases, neither are available as references. We present a method for computing three-dimensional (3D) osteophyte models using a library of healthy control bones. An existing data set containing the computed tomography scans of 90 patients with first carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (OA) and 46 healthy subjects were utilized. A healthy bone that best fit each OA subject's bone was determined using a dissimilarity-excluding Procrustes registration technique (DEP) that minimized the influence of dissimilar features (ie, osteophytes). The osteophyte model was then computed through Boolean subtraction of the reference bone model from the OA bone model. DEP reference bones conformed significantly better to the OA bones (P < .0001) than by finite difference iterative closest point registration (root mean squared distances, 0.33 ± 0.05 and 0.41 ± 0.16 mm, respectively). The effect of library size on dissimilarity measure was investigated by leave-k-out cross-validation randomly reducing k from 46 to 1. A library of n ≥ 31 resulted in less than 10% difference from the theoretical minimum value. The proposed method enables quantification of osteophytes when the disease-free bone or the healthy contralateral bone is not available for any 3D data set. Quantifying osteophyte formation and growth may aid in understating the associated mechanisms in OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteophyte formation is a critical part of the degeneration of a joint with osteoarthritis (OA). While often qualitatively described, few studies have succeeded in quantifying osteophyte growth over time. Using computed tomography (CT) image data from a longitudinal, observational study of thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) OA, our aim was to quantify osteophyte growth volume and location over a three-year period in men and women. METHOD Ninety patients with early thumb OA were recruited and assessed at baseline, 1.5 years, and 3 years with CT imaging. Osteophyte volume and location on the trapezium and first metacarpal were determined using a library of 46 healthy subjects as a nonarthritic reference database. RESULTS There was a significant increase in osteophyte volume for women and men over the three-year follow-up in the trapezium (86.8 mm3-120.5 mm3 and 165.1 mm3-235.3 mm3, means respectively) and in the proximal metacarpal (63 mm3-80.4 mm3, and 115.8 mm3-161.7 mm3, respectively). The location of osteophyte initiation and growth was consistent across subjects and was located in non-opposing regions on the trapezium and first metacarpal. Osteophyte growth occurred about the radial and ulnar margins of the trapezial facet, while on the proximal metacarpal, growth occurred principally about the volar and dorsal margins of the facet. CONCLUSION Osteophyte growth occurred in early thumb osteoarthritis over three years. Growth was localized in specific, non-opposing regions on the trapezium and metacarpal, raising intriguing questions about the triggers for their formation, whether the mechanisms are mechanical, biological or a combination of both.

Abstract
Untreated scaphoid nonunion as a rule results in subsequent scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC) wrist. While reconstructive treatment of the scaphoid in association with resection of the styloid process of the radius is still promising in stage I SNAC wrist, salvage procedures are available for higher degrees of SNAC wrist to reduce pain and to preserve the function of the wrist. Denervation, proximal row carpectomy and partial wrist fusion maintain wrist mobility. Total wrist arthrodesis and total wrist arthroplasty are salvage procedures in cases of panarthritis or failed motion-preserving procedures.

Abstract
Scaphoid nonunion causes abnormal wrist kinematics and typically leads to carpal collapse and subsequent degenerative arthritis of the wrist. However, the natural history, including carpal collapse and degenerative arthritis of scaphoid nonunion, may vary at different fracture locations. This article reviews recent biomechanical studies related to the natural history of scaphoid nonunion. In the distal-type fractures (type B2 in Herbert classification), where the fracture located distal to the scaphoid apex, the proximal scaphoid fragment and lunate, which are connected through the dorsal scapholunate interosseous ligament (DSLIL) and dorsal intercarpal ligament (DIC), extend together, and the distal fragment of the scaphoid flexes individually. Therefore, untreated type B2 fractures normally show the humpback deformity, resulting in dorsal intercalated segment instability deformity relatively earlier after the injury. In the proximal-type fractures (type B1), where the fracture is located proximal to the scaphoid apex, the connection between the distal fragment and lunate is preserved through the DSLIL and DIC so that the scaphoid-lunate complex remains stable and the carpal collapse is less severe than that in distal-type fractures. The fracture location relative to the apex of the dorsal scaphoid ridge is a reliable landmark in the determination of the natural history of scaphoid nonunion.

Abstract
Treatment of scaphoid fractures has been focused mainly on achieving union, with less attention to restoring normal scaphoid shape and orientation. Malalignment of one carpal bone will disrupt the kinetics of the entire wrist. The dorsal intercalated segment instability deformity associated with scaphoid waist nonunion is a nondissociative form of carpal instability. It has to be reduced in the treatment of scaphoid waist nonunions to avoid kinetic problems that will lead to arthritic changes. Computerized tomography scanning has become indispensable to visualize the humpback deformity clearly. Different techniques may be used to restore the normal anatomy of scaphoid, from non-vascularized graft to arthroscopic bone grafting, and also the option of vascularized bone grafting.
