CORTICOSTEROID ARTHROPATHY AND TENDON RUPTURE

Congenital aplasia and dysplasia of the tibia with intact fibula. Classification and management.

Compartment syndrome has been defined as “a condition in which increased pressure within a limited space compromises the circulation and function of the tissues within that space”.1 It is most commonly seen after injuries to the leg2-5 and forearm6-8 but may also occur in the arm,9 thigh,10 foot,11-13 buttock,14 hand15 and abdomen.16 It typically follows traumatic injury, but may also occur after ischaemic reperfusion injuries,17 burns,18 prolonged limb compression after drug overdose19 or poor positioning during surgery.20-24 Furthermore, subclinical compartment syndromes may explain the occurrence of a variety of postoperative disabilities which have been identified after the treatment of fractures of long bones using intramedullary nails.25 Approximately 40% of all acute compartment syndromes occur after fractures of the tibial shaft26 with an incidence in the range of 1% to 10%.26-30 A further 23% of compartment syndromes are caused by soft-tissue injuries with no fracture and fractures of the forearm account for 18%.26 Acute compartment syndrome is seen more commonly in younger patients, under 35 years of age31 and therefore leads to loss of function and long-term productivity in patients who would otherwise contribute to the country’s workforce for up to 40 years.

Over the past thirty years, the subspecialty of sports medicine has evolved into a major component of the practice of orthopaedic surgery. Since its genesis in the early 1970s, sports medicine has evolved from the province of a small group of orthopaedists covering athletic teams into a major body of knowledge fueled by clinicians, scientists, and industry. Well-established educational curricula defining and prioritizing all areas of sports medicine now exist at the resident, fellowship, and subspecialty-society levels. The purpose of this article is to review and to put into perspective recent scientific and educational advancements in sports medicine. This overview is based on papers presented in 2000 at both the annual and subspecialty meetings of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA), the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS), and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). Papers published from September 1999 through August 2000 in the American Journal of Sports Medicine (six volumes), Arthroscopy (twelve volumes), and The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (twelve volumes) are reviewed, and their major contributions to orthopaedic sports medicine are summarized. This general overview of papers and presentations is followed by a summary of new developments in the study of the knee and shoulder as well as in other aspects of sports medicine, a discussion of emerging technologies in basic-science research, and an update on educational and socioeconomic issues. Between September 1999 and August 2000, research in orthopaedic sports medicine was featured in over 250 oral presentations at the annual and Specialty Day meetings of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, the Arthroscopy Association of North America, the Orthopaedic Research Society, and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Almost two-thirds of the studies focused on surgical techniques or clinical outcomes data, with just over a …

Background: There has been an increased emphasis on improving the level of evidence used as the basis for clinical treatment decisions. Several journals now require a statement of the level of evidence as a basic gauge of the study’s strength. Purpose: To review the levels of evidence in published articles in the clinical sports medicine literature and to determine if there has been an improvement in the levels of evidence published over the past 15 years. Study Design: Systematic review. Methods: All articles from the years 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010 in The American Journal of Sports Medicine (AJSM), Arthroscopy, and sports medicine–related articles from The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery–American (JBJS-A) were analyzed. Articles were categorized by type and ranked for level of evidence according to guidelines from the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. Excluded were animal, cadaveric, and basic science articles; editorials; surveys; special topics; letters to the editor; and correspondence. Statistical analysis was performed with chi-square. Results: A total of 1580 articles over the 4 periods met the inclusion criteria. The percentage of level 1 and 2 studies increased from 6.8% to 12.6%, 22.9%, and 23.5%, respectively (P < .0001), while level 4 and 5 studies decreased from 78.9% to 72.4%, 63.9%, and 53.0% (P < .0001). JBJS-A had a significant increase in level 1 and 2 studies (4.1%, 5.1%, 28.2%, 27.8%; P < .0001), as did AJSM (9.4%, 17.1%, 36.1%, 30.1%; P < .0001). Arthroscopy showed no significant change over time. Diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic studies all showed significant increases in level 1 and 2 studies over time (P < .05). Conclusion: There has been a statistically significant increase in the percentage of level 1 and 2 studies published in the sports medicine literature over the past 15 years, particularly in JBJS-A and AJSM. The largest increase was seen in diagnostic studies, while therapeutic and prognostic studies demonstrated modest improvement. The emphasis on increasing levels of evidence to guide treatment decisions for sports medicine patients may be taking effect.

What's New in Shoulder and Elbow Surgery.

Background:Previous studies have examined the most cited articles in orthopaedic sports medicine research and the journals in which they were published.Purpose:To analyze the manuscript submission patterns of authors who published manuscripts in various orthopaedic sports medicine journals.Study Design:Cross-sectional study.Methods:All articles published in the March 2017 and April 2017 issues of Arthroscopy, the American Journal of Sports Medicine (AJSM), Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy (KSSTA), and the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine (OJSM) were searched. In addition, the past 50 sports medicine–related articles published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (JBJS) dating back from April 2017 to May 2015 were searched. The corresponding author of each article was asked whether the publishing journal was the first journal of submission. If the article was previously submitted elsewhere, authors were asked which other journals, the dates of submission, and the order of submission. The proportion of articles that were initially submitted to each journal, the mean number of submissions prior to publication, and the mean duration from initial submission to date of publication were calculated for each journal.Results:A total of 298 articles were included in this study, and 221 (74%) corresponding authors responded to the survey. The mean number of submissions before acceptance was 1.05 for AJSM, 1.18 for JBJS, 1.20 for KSSTA, 1.38 for Arthroscopy, and 2.19 for OJSM. The percentage of articles that were submitted to their accepting journal first (ie, not previously submitted elsewhere) was 95% for AJSM, 85% for JBJS, 82% for KSSTA, 68% for Arthroscopy, and 13% for OJSM.Conclusion:Among the orthopaedic sports medicine journals included in this study, articles published in AJSM have the highest percentage of first submissions.
