Abstract
When sea urchin puncture injuries occur during coastal recreation or work activities, they often affect extremities, such as hands and feet. There is a plethora of information on treatments for these puncture injuries, with the most common among medical professionals being the removal of all partially embedded spines and the removal of as many fully embedded spines as possible. When the spines are deeply embedded and/or fragmented, they might not be removed, especially when they are not located in critical areas such as tendons or joints. This reflects the generally held notion that smaller spines and spine fragments will eventually dissolve or be absorbed. Here we report an unusual case where the tip of a sea urchin spine became embedded in the soft tissue of the sole of the foot of a 21-year-old male after he stepped on one after falling off a kayak off the coast of Oahu, Hawai'i. The deeply embedded spine was not removed. By three weeks after the injury, the patient did not have any symptoms, and eight years later, he was still symptom-free. Radiographs taken one year after the injury showed that the spine had fragmented into two pieces. The smaller piece was about 15% of the size of the original embedded spine, and it had apparently been absorbed (it was not seen on final radiographs eight years later). Analysis of radiographs eight years after the injury showed that the main or large spine fragment was still distinctly detectable in the soft tissue; there was no visible evidence that it had undergone significant absorption or migrated from the original location. The absence of any obvious radiographic rarefaction over eight years is contrary to the lore that sea urchin spines that remain in human soft tissue will exhibit significant, or complete, absorption or dissolution over months to a few years.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization's definition, long COVID is the persistence or development of new symptoms 3 months after the initial infection. Various conditions have been explored in studies with up to one-year follow-up but very few looked further. This prospective cohort study addresses the presence of a wide spectrum of symptoms in 121 patients hospitalized during the acute phase of COVID-19 infection, and the association between factors related to the acute phase of the disease and the presence of residual symptoms after one year or longer from hospitalization. The main results are as follows: (i) post-COVID symptoms persist in up to 60% of the patient population at a mean follow-up of 17 months; (ii) the most frequent symptoms are fatigue and dyspnea, but neuropsychological disturbances persist in about 30% of the patients (iii) when corrected for the duration of follow-up with a freedom-from-event analysis; only complete (2 doses) vaccination at the time of hospital admission remained independently associated with persistence of the major physical symptoms, while vaccination and previous neuropsychological symptoms remained independently associated with persistence of major neuropsychological symptoms.

Abstract
The growth plate is the weakest structure in the skeleton of a child and a frequent site of injury or fracture; physeal injuries represent 15%-30% of all fractures in children. Of all growth plate fractures, the incidence of growth arrest and disorders is around 15%. Here, we discuss a female patient who, at the age of 5 years, was treated for a polytrauma that involved a complex lesion of the growth plates of the knee. Four days after trauma, she underwent closed reduction surgery and internal fixation with cannulated screws for femoral and tibial fractures of the growth plate. A 20° valgus deviation of the left knee was found at 3-month postoperative clinical check-up likely as a result of a growth disorder of the femur. She was diagnosed with valgus knee secondary to epiphysiodesis of the lateral portion of the femoral physis and she was readmitted to the hospital. In the operating theater, an open femoral de-epiphysiodesis was performed with a burr; the drilled hole was then filled with bone wax. At 20-month post-trauma follow-up, the left knee was still valgus about 20° relative to the other side. During follow-up, a slow but progressive improvement in the axis of the lower limbs was noted. Clinical and radiographic control 10 years after the trauma showed a complete recovery of the axis of the lower limbs. In the initial stages, the presence of bone wax in the area of de-epiphysiodesis allowed for stabilization of the deformity on the 20° of preoperative valgus. The interpretation of the growth cartilage activity occurred in an asymmetrical way such as to realign the femoral load axis, it can be based on the different mechanical stimulus on the two knee areas due to the preexisting deformity. There is no unanimous evidence in the literature in terms of management of growth disorders resulting from this type of injury. Bone wax resulted in effectively filling the hole of de-epiphysiodesis in the distal femoral growth plate and allowed us to obtain the response of the growth plate and to improve the recovery time in young children.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to investigate whether robotic-assisted surgery is associated with lower incremental resource use among obese patients relative to non-obese patients after a Danish nationwide adoption of robotic-assisted surgery in women with early-stage endometrial cancer. This is a population-based cohort study based on registers and clinical data. MATERIAL AND METHODS All women who underwent surgery (robotic, laparoscopic and laparotomy) from 2008 to 2015 were included and divided according to body mass index (<30 and ≥30). Robotic-assisted surgery was gradually introduced in Denmark (2008-2013). We compared resource use post-surgery in obese vs non-obese women who underwent surgery before and after a nationwide adoption of robotic-assisted surgery. The key exposure variable was exposure to robotic-assisted surgery. Clinical and sociodemographic data were linked with national register data to determine costs and bed days 12 months before and after surgery applying difference-in-difference analyses. RESULTS In total, 3934 women were included. The adoption of robotic-assisted surgery did not demonstrate statistically significant implications for total costs among obese women (€3,417; 95% confidence interval [CI] -€854 to €7,688, p = 0.117). Further, for obese women, a statistically significant reduction in bed days related to the index hospitalization was demonstrated (-1.9 bed days; 95% CI -3.6 to -0.2, p = 0.025). However, for non-obese women, the adoption of robotic-assisted surgery was associated with statistically significant total costs increments of €9,333 (95% CI €3,729-€1,4936, p = 0.001) and no reduction in bed days related to the index hospitalization was observed (+0.9 bed days; 95% CI -0.6 to 2.3, p = 0.242). CONCLUSIONS The national investment in robotic-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer seems to have more modest cost implications post-surgery for obese women. This may be partly driven by a significant reduction in bed days related to the index hospitalization among obese women, as well as reductions in subsequent hospitalizations.

Abstract
Although phase III trials have been published comparing whole breast irradiation (WBI) with accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), long-term follow-up results are lacking. We report the 10-year follow-up results of a prospective phase I/II clinical trial of IORT. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (i) tumor size <2.5 cm, (ii) desire for breast-conserving surgery, (iii) age >50 years, (iv) negative margins after resection and (v) sentinel lymph node-negative disease. A single dose of IORT (19-21 Gy) was delivered to the tumor bed in the operation room just after wide local excision of the primary breast cancer using a 6-12 MeV electron beam. Local recurrence was defined as recurrence or new disease within the treated breast and was evaluated annually using mammography and ultrasonography. A total of 32 patients were eligible for evaluation. The median patient age was 65 years and the median follow-up time was 10 years. Two patients experienced local recurrence just under the nipple, out of the irradiated field, after 8 years of follow-up. Three patients had contralateral breast cancer and one patient experienced bone metastasis after 10 years of follow-up. No patient experienced in-field recurrence nor breast cancer death. Eight patients had hypertrophic scarring at the last follow-up. There were no lung or heart adverse effects. This is the first report of 10-year follow-up results of IORT as APBI. The findings suggest that breast cancer with extended intraductal components should be treated with great caution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the clinical and structural outcome 20 years after repair of isolated supraspinatus tendon tears. We hypothesized that the results would deteriorate over time. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this retrospective multicenter study, 137 patients were recalled for a clinical and imaging assessment. Six patients (4.3%) had died from unrelated causes, 52 (38.0%) were lost to follow-up, and 13 (9.5%) had undergone reoperations. This left 66 patients for clinical evaluation. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging were additionally performed for 45 patients, allowing assessment of osteoarthritis, tendon healing, fatty infiltration (FI), and muscle atrophy. RESULTS The Constant Score (CS) improved from 51.5 ± 14.1 points preoperatively to 71 points (P < .05) with a mean Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV) of 77.2% ± 22%. Tendon discontinuity (Sugaya IV-V) was present in 19 of 45 patients (42 %), and there was advanced FI (Goutallier III-IV) of the supraspinatus in 12 (27%) and of the infraspinatus muscle in 16 (35%). Supraspinatus atrophy was present in 12 patients (28%), advanced arthritis in 6, and cuff tear arthropathy in 12 (30%). The CS and SSV were significantly inferior for shoulders with FI of stages III to IV (P < .05). The CS was lower in cuff tear arthropathy and correlated with infraspinatus FI. CONCLUSIONS At 20 years after surgical repair of isolated supraspinatus tears, the clinical outcome remains significantly above the preoperative state. FI of the infraspinatus is the most influential factor on long-term clinical outcome.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. OBJECTIVE There have been few reports of adjacent segment disease (ASD) after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with large numbers and long follow-up. The purpose of this study was to investigate (1) ASD incidence and time periods after primary PLIF, (2) repeat ASD incidence and time periods, and (3) ASD incidence and time periods by fusion length, age, and preoperative pathologies. METHODS A total of 1000 patients (average age 67 years, average follow-up 8.3 years) who underwent PLIF for degenerative lumbar disorders were reviewed. ASD was defined as a symptomatic condition in which revision surgery was required. RESULTS The overall ASD rate was 9.0%, and the average ASD period was 4.7 years after primary surgery. With respect to clinical features of ASD, degenerative spondylolisthesis at the cranial fusion segment was the most frequent. In terms of repeat ASD, second and third ASD incidences were 1.1% and 0.4%, respectively. As for ASD by fusion length, age, and preoperative pathologies, ASD incidence was increased by fusion length, while the time period to ASD was significantly shorter in elderly patients and those with degenerative lumbar scoliosis. CONCLUSIONS In the present study, the overall ASD incidence was 9.0%, and the average ASD period was 4.7 years after primary operation. Second and third ASD incidences were 1.1% and 0.4%, respectively. Fusion length affected the ASD incidence, while aging factor and preoperative pathology affected the ASD time period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in severe developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a challenging procedure. The most used techniques involve anatomic cup positioning, augmentation femoral osteotomy. However, anatomic cup positioning is not always feasible in severe DDH and osteotomy nonunion may ensue. The purpose of the study was to assess the survivorship, the hip score results, the radiological parameters (fixation, loosening, component position) of a large cohort of patients with Crowe III and IV DDH, treated with high hip center and modular necks THAs. METHODS Eighty-four THAs in Crowe III and IV DDH were evaluated, achieving a final follow-up of 15.1 years. All the patients were treated with the same cementless implant (modular necks and ceramic-on-ceramic coupling) and the same approach (high cup placement with slight medialization). The patients were clinically evaluated (Harris Hip score and Merle d'Aubigne and Postel score). A radiographic evaluation was performed, analyzing the orientation of the cup. RESULTS Eighty patients were available at the last follow-up. The clinical scores were good at the final follow-up. Two sciatic lesions occurred: one patient fully recovered. The overall survivorship was 90.5% at 15 years: only 2 cases of aseptic loosening were reported. The mean center of rotation height was 33 ± 8 mm and the medialization was 30 ± 5 mm. CONCLUSION A high cup placement with slight medialization is a valid technique in DDH patients. A good restoration of the offset, ceramic-on-ceramic coupling and a porous socket may provide durable results, overcoming the effects of increasing joint reaction forces related to high cup placement.
