Comparison of failure rates and functional outcomes between hamstring autografts and hybrid grafts in anterior cruciate ...
Published in Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
The viability of augmenting small-diameter hamstring autografts with allografts remains unclear. Recent studies have reported different clinical results after allograft augmentation. Hence, we sought to determine whether hamstring autografts and hybrid grafts differed in terms of failure rates and functional outcomes after anterior cruciate ligamen...
Anatomic feasibility study of osteocutaneous free flap from the proximal ulna.
Published in Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
The present anatomic study aimed to assess the feasibility of an osteocutaneous free flap harvested from the proximal ulna for reconstruction after complex hand trauma. Nineteen upper limb specimens free of scarring in the elbow region were injected in the brachial artery. After S-shaped incision centered on the medial epicondyle, a systematic appr...
Acute pain after digital crushing and nicotine intoxication. Cigarettes are always a false friend. A prospective study.
Published in Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
Nicotine addiction is a public health problem. Our hypothesis was that the degree of nicotine dependence is positively correlated with the perceived intensity of acute pain. A single-center prospective comparative observational study was conducted from 2019 to 2021. Patients included presented distal phalanx extra-articular trauma of less than 24ho...
Anatomical variations in the sensory innervation of the dorsal surface of the first digit space, a cadaveric study with ...
Published in Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
Radial nerve palsy is a classical complication of a humeral shaft fracture. In clinical practice, motor palsy of the radial nerve is sometimes observed without an abnormality felt in the sensory territory. We hypothesised that this dissociation between sensory and motor involvement is related to anatomical variations of the sensory innervation of t...
Proximal and distal mechanical repercussions of instrumentation by double rods and interbody grafts in adult scoliosis.
Published in Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
Correction of adult scoliosis by instrumentation with double rods and interbody grafts aims to reduce the risk of pseudarthrosis with rod fracture. An increase in instrumentation rigidity can lead to an increase in stresses at the proximal and distal ends of the construct. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and clinical repercussion...
Preliminary stage in the development of an artificial intelligence algorithm: Variations between 100 surgeons in phase a...
Published in Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
In order to be used naturally and widely, an artificial intelligence algorithm of phase detection in surgical videos presupposes an expert consensus defining phases. The aim of the present study was to seek consensus in defining the various phases of a surgical technique in wrist traumatology. Three thousand two hundred and twenty-nine surgeons wer...
WALANT for hand wound exploration in isolated conditions: Feasibility study.
Published in Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
Military doctors usually deal with hand wound management. Their practice sometimes takes them far from any specialized surgical center. The WALANT could be a powerful tool for doctors operating in nuclear submarines or as part of special forces. This is a comparative, prospective and multicenter study. The hypothesis was that the management of hand...
Epidemiology of the causes of complaints after discectomy collected from a French insurance company.
Published in Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
Lumbar discectomy is a frequent procedure performed by surgeons from specialties at risk of patient complaints. The objective of the study was to analyze the causes of litigations following lumbar discectomy to be able to reduce their frequency. This observational, retrospective study was carried out at a French insurance company (Branchet). All fi...
Is the popliteal tendon sufficient for all-inside suture in lateral meniscus repair? A 22-case cadaver study.
Published in Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
Arthroscopic lateral meniscus repair is performed in the "figure-of-4 position" (supine, with the affected knee flexed and the lower leg crossed over the extended contralateral leg), and anchorage is often on the popliteal tendon. Extending the limb at the end of the procedure alters the relations between the popliteal tendon and the repaired menis...
