Skeletal Radiol 2024; 53:1711-1725. [PMID: 38969781 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-024-04737-w] [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: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) is a common modality employed for musculoskeletal imaging. Conventional CT techniques are useful for the assessment of trauma in detection, characterization and surgical planning of complex fractures. CT arthrography can depict internal derangement lesions and impact medical decision making of orthopedic providers. In oncology, CT can have a role in the characterization of bone tumors and may elucidate soft tissue mineralization patterns. Several advances in CT technology have led to a variety of acquisition techniques with distinct clinical applications. These include four-dimensional CT, which allows examination of joints during motion; cone-beam CT, which allows examination during physiological weight-bearing conditions; dual-energy CT, which allows material decomposition useful in musculoskeletal deposition disorders (e.g., gout) and bone marrow edema detection; and photon-counting CT, which provides increased spatial resolution, decreased radiation, and material decomposition compared to standard multi-detector CT systems due to its ability to directly translate X-ray photon energies into electrical signals. Advanced acquisition techniques provide higher spatial resolution scans capable of enhanced bony microarchitecture and bone mineral density assessment. Together, these CT acquisition techniques will continue to play a substantial role in the practices of orthopedics, rheumatology, metabolic bone, oncology, and interventional radiology.

Abstract
Intraoperative 2D fluoroscopy is often performed for repositioning and implant control. However, this does not always provide the details needed to reliably detect joint steps or incorrect repositioning. Over the last few years, intraoperative 3D imaging has been established and further developed. Multiple studies demonstrate an advantage and better intraoperative control through 3D imaging. Examples are the upper ankle, the proximal tibia and the distal radius; the rates of intraoperative revisions with digital volume tomography (DVT) are between 20-30%. Technical advancements, such as metal artifact reductions, automated plane setting, automated screw detection, and robotic DVT devices, facilitate intraoperative operation, shorten surgical time, and provide improved image quality. By processing the data sets in the form of an immersive, computer-simulated image in terms of "augmented reality" (AR), increased precision can be achieved intraoperatively while reducing radiation exposure. The implementation of these systems is associated with costs, which are offset by cost savings from avoided revisions. Adequate counter-financing is still lacking at the present time. Intraoperative 3D imaging represents an important tool for intraoperative control. The current data situation makes it necessary to address the routine use of 3D procedures, especially in the joint area. The indications are becoming increasingly broader. Technical innovations such as robotics and AR have significantly improved 3D devices in recent years and offer high potential for integration into the OR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tibial plateau fractures (TPF) are uncommon and challenging for orthopedic surgeons with controversial reported outcomes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes and quality of life (QOL) of patients with surgically treated TPF. METHODS A total of 80 consecutive patients and 82 controls participated in this case control study. The patients were all surgically treated in our tertiary center from April 2012 to April 2020. The functional outcome was evaluated using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scale. Moreover, we used the Short Form 36 health survey (SF-36) health survey to evaluate the QOL. RESULTS No significant difference was observed in the overall mean SF-36 score in the two groups. We found a significant positive correlation between the scores of the SF-36 and WOMAC questionnaires (r = 0.642, p < 0.001) and between the ROM and the WOMAC questionnaire score (r = 0.478, p < 0.001). Further, ROM and SF-36 showed a weak positive correlation (r = 0.248, p = 0.026). Age had a weak negative correlation with the pain subscale of SF-36 (r = - 0.255, p = 0.22), even though it was not correlated with the total score or other subscales (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION QoL after TPF is not significantly different from that of a matched control group. Also, neither age nor BMI correlates with the QoL and functional outcome.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Although musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a dominant role in characterizing abnormalities, novel computed tomography (CT) techniques have found an emerging niche in several scenarios such as trauma, gout, and the characterization of pathologic biomechanical states during motion and weight-bearing. Recent developments and advancements in the field of musculoskeletal CT include 4-dimensional, cone-beam (CB), and dual-energy (DE) CT. Four-dimensional CT has the potential to quantify biomechanical derangements of peripheral joints in different joint positions to diagnose and characterize patellofemoral instability, scapholunate ligamentous injuries, and syndesmotic injuries. Cone-beam CT provides an opportunity to image peripheral joints during weight-bearing, augmenting the diagnosis and characterization of disease processes. Emerging CBCT technologies improved spatial resolution for osseous microstructures in the quantitative analysis of osteoarthritis-related subchondral bone changes, trauma, and fracture healing. Dual-energy CT-based material decomposition visualizes and quantifies monosodium urate crystals in gout, bone marrow edema in traumatic and nontraumatic fractures, and neoplastic disease. Recently, DE techniques have been applied to CBCT, contributing to increased image quality in contrast-enhanced arthrography, bone densitometry, and bone marrow imaging. This review describes 4-dimensional CT, CBCT, and DECT advances, current logistical limitations, and prospects for each technique.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated a frequent occurrence of screw/K-wire malpositioning during surgical fracture treatment under 2D fluoroscopy and a correspondingly high revision rate as a result of using intraoperative 3D imaging. In order to facilitate and accelerate the diagnosis of implant malpositioning in 3D data sets, this study investigates two versions of an implant detection software for mobile 3D C-arms in terms of their detection performance based on comparison with manual evaluation. The 3D data sets of patients who had received surgical fracture treatment at five anatomical regions were extracted from the research database. First, manual evaluation of the data sets was performed, and the number of implanted implants was assessed. For 25 data sets, the time required by four investigators to adjust each implant was monitored. Subsequently, the evaluation was performed using both software versions based on the following detection parameters: true-positive-rate, false-negative-rate, false-detection-rate and positive predictive value. Furthermore, the causes of false positive and false negative detected implants depending on the anatomical region were investigated. Two hundred fourteen data sets with overall 1767 implants were included. The detection parameters were significantly improved (p<.001) from version 1 to version 2 of the implant detection software. Automatic evaluation required an average of 4.1±0.4 s while manual evaluation was completed in 136.15±72.9 s (p<.001), with a statistically significant difference between experienced and inexperienced users (p=.005). In summary, version 2 of the implant detection software achieved significantly better results. The time saved by using the software could contribute to optimizing the intraoperative workflow.

Does Time to Theatre Affect the Ability to Achieve Fracture Reduction in Tibial Plateau Fractures? J Clin Med 2021; 11:jcm11010138. [PMID: 35011877 PMCID: PMC8745337 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11010138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2021] [Revised: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Surgical management of displaced tibial plateau fracture (TPF) is often delayed due to accompanying soft tissue injuries sustained at the time of injury. The primary aim of this study was to assess the effect of time to surgery on fracture reduction in cases of TPF. The secondary aim was to assess the effect of preoperative demographics and residual articular step on Lysholm Scores and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS) following fixation. Patients between 2006 and 2017, managed by a single surgeon, were prospectively enrolled in the study. Reduction of articular step, defined as <2 mm, was assessed by a single blinded examiner. A total of 117 patients were enrolled, 52 with Schatzker II, 4 with Schatzker IV, and 61 with Schatzker VI fractures. Patients were followed up to a mean of 3.9 years. Analysis showed that the ability to achieve fracture reduction was negatively influenced by time to theatre, with the odds of achieving reduction decreasing 17% with each subsequent day post injury (p = 0.002). Furthermore, an increased time to theatre was associated with a reduced Lysholm score at one year (p = 0.01). The ability to achieve fracture reduction did not influence PROMs within the study period. We conclude that delay in surgical fixation negatively affects fracture reduction in TPF and may delay recovery. However, residual articular step does not necessarily influence PROMs over the mid-term.

Outcome of acetabulum fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation through Kocher-Langenbeck Approach: A retrospective study. J Clin Orthop Trauma 2021; 23:101599. [PMID: 34692404 PMCID: PMC8517211 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcot.2021.101599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Revised: 09/12/2021] [Accepted: 09/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Complex anatomy of acetabular fracture is quite challenging for the orthopedic surgeons. Many Acetabular fracture fixation approaches have been used for a long time to treat different fracture patterns of acetabulum. Kocher-Langenbeck Approach (K-L approach) of acetabulum fracture is usually used by most of orthopedic surgeons. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the clinical and functional outcome of subtypes of acetabulum fractures treated with K-L approach. Assessment of Intra and postoperative complications of subtypes of acetabulum fractures was also done. METHOD Eighty patients (48 men and 32 women) were included in this retrospective study with a mean follow-up period of 2.6 years. Fractures were classified according to Letournal and Judet classification. K-L approach was performed in all these patients. Post operative reduction, Radiological outcome was quantified using Matta's criteria while the functional outcome was assessed according to Merle d'Aubigné and Postel scoring system. Postoperative complications were evaluated. RESULTS The mean age of a total of 80 cases was 43.64 ± 13.24 year. The type of fracture was found to be significantly associated with concentric/non-concentric reduction (p = 0.003) and with post op reduction (p = 0.005). The post operative reduction was found to be significantly associated with radiological (p < 0.001) and functional outcome (p < 0.001) at one year post op. The type of fracture was found to be significantly associated with radiological outcome (p < 0.001) while non-significantly found to be associated with functional outcome at 1 year (p = 0.050). The type of fracture was found to be significantly associated with post op complications (p = 0.003) and with arthritis (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION K-L approach is a multifaceted and convenient approach for treating acetabulum fractures. Type of fracture and post-operative reduction are key factors for a satisfactory outcome. Transverse with posterior wall fracture has the worst prognosis.

Abstract
Purpose Acute unstable syndesmotic lesions are regularly treated with closed or open reduction and fixation with either a positioning screw or tight rope. Conventional fluoroscopy is limited to identify a malreduction of the ankle mortise. The aim of the study was to validate the reduction criteria of intraoperative cone beam CT in unstable syndesmotic injuries by analyzing the clinical outcome. Methods Acute unstable syndesmotic injuries were treated with a positioning screw fixation, and the reduction in the ankle mortise was evaluated with intraoperative cone beam CT. The patients were grouped postoperatively according to the radiological reduction criteria in the intraoperative 3D images. The reduction criteria were unknown to the surgeons. Malreduction was assumed if one or more reduction criteria were not fulfilled. Results Seventy-three of the 127 patients could be included in the study (follow-up rate 57.5%). For 41 patients (56.2%), a radiological optimal reduction was achieved (Group 1), and in 32 patients (43.8%) a radiological adverse reduction was found (Group 2). Group 1 scored significantly higher in the Olerud/Molander score (92.44 ± 10.73 vs. 65.47 ± 28.77) (p = 0.003), revealed a significantly higher range of motion (ROM) (53.44 vs. 24.17°) (p = 0.001) and a significantly reduced Kellgren/Lawrence osteoarthritis score (1.24 vs. 1.79) (p = 0.029). The linear regression analysis revealed a correlation for the two groups with the values scored in the Olerud/Molander score (p < 0.01). Conclusion The reduction criteria in intraoperative cone beam CT applied to unstable syndesmotic injuries could be validated. Patients with an anatomic reduced acute unstable syndesmotic injury according to the criteria have a significantly better clinical outcome.
