Description
An account of the resource
Intra-articular fractures of the tibial plafond are complex injuries which continue to challenge orthopaedic surgeons in achieving anatomic reduction, while allowing early weight bearing and return to activity. Although a wide range of treatment options has been described for fixation of piton fractures, the unique characteristic of each injury makes it difficult to advocate a general method of choice. We have attempted to compare a subset of AO/OTA type C piton fractures treated either by a staged procedure of external fixation and conversion to open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus definitive external Ilizarov fixation. Between 1998 and 2004, 42 patients admitted to our level 1 trauma centre underwent either procedure and were followed prospectively. Twenty-eight patients were treated with ORIF and 14 were treated by Ilizarov ring fixator. The outcome measures included time to union, as well as the rates of union, nonunion, malunion and infection. Although the ORIF group had a longer time to heal, the rates of nonunion, malunion and infection were lower compared to the Ilizarov group. However, these differences between the groups were not statistically significant. Thus, based on these results, no clinical recommendation can be made as to which procedure is better and safer for the patient. Future prospective randomised trials are required to determine with more scientific accuracy the optimal treatment strategy for these challenging injuries. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Description
An account of the resource
Background: First metatarsal phalangeal joint (MTP) arthrodesis is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of hallux rigidus, severe and recurrent bunion deformities, rheumatoid arthritis and other less common disorders of the joint. There are different techniques of fixation of the joint to promote arthrodesis including oblique lag screw fixation, lag screw and dorsal plate fixation, crossed Kirschner wires, dorsal plate fixation alone and various types of external fixation. Ideally the fixation method should be reproducible, lead to a high rate of fusion, and have a low incidence of complications. Methods: In the present study, we compared the strength of fixation of five commonly utilized techniques of first MTP joint arthrodesis. These were: 1. Surface excision with machined conical reaming and fixation with a 3.5 mm cortical interfragmentary lag screw. 2. Surface excision with machined conical reaming and fixation with crossed 0.062 Kirschner wires. 3. Surface excision with machined conical reaming and fixation with a 3.5 mm cortical lag screw and a four hole dorsal miniplate secured with 3.5 mm cortical screws. 4. Surface excision with machined conical reaming and fixation with a four hole dorsal miniplate secured with 3.5 mm cortical screws and no lag screw. 5. Planar surface excision and fixation with a single oblique 3.5 mm interfragmentary cortical lag screw. Testing was done on an Instron materials testing device loading the first MTP joint in dorsiflexion. Liquid metal strain gauges were placed over the joint and micromotion was detected with varying loads and cycles. Results: The most stable technique was the combination of machined conical reaming and an oblique interfragmentary lag screw and dorsal plate. This was greater than two times stronger than an oblique lag screw alone. Dorsal plate alone and Kirschner wire fixation were the weakest techniques. Conclusions: First MTP fusion is a commonly performed procedure for the treatment of a variety of disorders of the first MTP joint. The most stable technique for obtaining fusion in this study was the combination of an oblique lag screw and a dorsal plate. This should lead to higher rates of arthrodesis.

Description
An account of the resource
Background: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a poorly understood condition affecting adolescents. Prior studies have suggested that the etiology may be related to abnormal collagen in the growth plate cartilage, but we are not aware of any investigations analyzing collagen or other structural proteins on a molecular level in the affected tissue. This study was performed to evaluate expression of mRNA for key structural molecules in growth plate chondrocytes of patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Methods: A core biopsy of the proximal femoral physis was performed in nine patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis, and the specimens were compared with five specimens from the normal distal femoral and proximal tibial and fibular physes of age-matched patients treated surgically for a limb-length inequality. We utilized laser capture microdissection techniques followed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis to determine if a change or abnormality in type-II-collagen and/or aggrecan gene expression may be associated with slipped capital femoral epiphysis. With these techniques, we correlated chondrocyte spatial location and gene expression to provide greater insight into this pathological condition and a more complete understanding of growth plate biology in general. Results: Downregulation of both type-II collagen and aggrecan was found in the growth plates of the subjects with slipped capital femoral epiphysis when compared with the levels in the age-matched controls. In eight specimens from affected patients, the level of expression of type-II-collagen mRNA was, on the average (and standard error of the mean), 13.7% +/- 0.2% of that in four control specimens and the aggrecan level averaged only 26% 0.2% of the control aggrecan level. Conclusions: The decreases that we identified in type-II-collagen and aggrecan expression would affect the quantity, distribution, and organization of both components in a growth plate, but these changes could be associated with either the cause or the result of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Clinical Relevance: With further study with use of laser capture microdissection and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, as well as other molecular biological approaches, these observations may be found to lead to a more complete understanding, and be pertinent to the treatment and possible prevention, of this serious adolescent disorder.

Description
An account of the resource
The use of transoral noncompression unicortical miniplates in treating 42 consecutive patients with 64 displaced mandibular fractures (excluding subcondylar) was reviewed Titanium miniplates (Wurzburg) were used for fixation. The principles set forth by Champy and colleagues, with two plates for body and symphyseal fracture fixation and one plate superiorly along the oblique ridge for angle fractures, were performed. Intermaxillary fixation was not used postoperatively. Results compared favorably with other forms of treatment with no evidence of postoperative malocclusion, with an overall complication rate of 3%. The advantage of no external incision, avoidance of intermaxillary fixation, and normal postoperative incisal opening and occlusion make this technique our treatment of choice.

Description
An account of the resource
Purpose: This study presents test-retest reliability of optotype visual acuity (OVA) across 60 degrees of horizontal gaze position in patients with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS). Also, the validity of the metric gaze-dependent functional vision space (GDFVS) is shown in patients with INS. Methods: In experiment 1, OVA was measured twice in seven horizontal gaze positions from 30 degrees left to right in 10 degrees steps in 20 subjects with INS and 14 without INS. Test-retest reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) in each gaze. OVA area under the curve (AUC) was calculated with horizontal eye position on the x-axis, and logMAR visual acuity on the y-axis and then converted to GDFVS. In experiment 2, validity of GDFVS was determined over 40 degrees horizontal gaze by applying the 95% limits of agreement from experiment 1 to pre- and post-treatment GDFVS values from 85 patients with INS. Results: In experiment 1, test-retest reliability for OVA was high (ICC \textgreater/= 0.88) as the difference in test-retest was on average less than 0.1 logMAR in each gaze position. In experiment 2, as a group, INS subjects had a significant increase (P \textless 0.001) in the size of their GDFVS that exceeded the 95% limits of agreement found during test-retest. Conclusions: OVA is a reliable measure in INS patients across 60 degrees of horizontal gaze position. GDFVS is a valid clinical method to be used to quantify OVA as a function of eye position in INS patients. This method captures the dynamic nature of OVA in INS patients and may be a valuable measure to quantify visual function patients with INS, particularly in quantifying change as part of clinical studies.

Description
An account of the resource
We treated 20 children for an isolated femoral shaft fracture using distal tibial traction incorporated into a spica cast with the knee in full extension. Patients were discharged from the hospital at a mean of 5.1 days following injury. All fractures healed, and there were four minor complications. At a mean follow-up of 35 (13-72) months, all patients were asymptomatic with normal function. All but one fracture healed in acceptable alignment, and there was no clinically significant leg-length discrepancy. The method is relatively simple to employ and may be advantageous in a setting of limited resources.
