Abstract

Introduction

Avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head (AVN) is a widespread disease affecting mostly young and active people, often exacerbating in progressive stages, ending in joint replacement. The most common joint preserving operative therapy for early stages is core decompression (CD), optional with cancellous bone grafting (CBG). For success it is vital that the necrotic area is hit and the sclerotic rim is broken by drilling into the defect zone to relieve intraosseous pressure. The aim of this study was to investigate if both techniques are precise enough to hit the center of the necrosis and if there is a difference in precision between drilling with small pins (CD) and the trephine (CBG).

Patients and methods

10 patients underwent CD, 12 patients CBG with conventional C-arm imaging. Postoperatively 3D MRI reconstructions of the necrotic area and the drilling channels were compared. The deviation of the drilling channel from the center of the necrotic area was measured. PROMs (HHS, HOOS, EQ-5D, SF-36) were evaluated to compare the clinical success of these procedures.

Results

Neither with CD nor with CBG the defect zone was missed. The drilling precision of both procedures did not differ significantly: distance to center 3.58 mm for CD (range 0.0–14.06, SD 4.2) versus 3.91 mm for CBG (range 0.0–15.27, SD 4.7). PROMs showed no significant difference.

Conclusion

Concerning the most important difference between the two procedures—the surgical higher demanding technique of CBG—we suggest applying the less invasive technique of CD alone.

Knie-TEP: Kein Vorteil durch antibiotikahaltigen Knochenzement

29.05.2024 Periprothetische Infektionen Nachrichten

Zur Zementierung einer Knie-TEP wird in Deutschland zu über 98% Knochenzement verwendet, der mit einem Antibiotikum beladen ist. Ob er wirklich besser ist als Zement ohne Antibiotikum, kann laut Registerdaten bezweifelt werden.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

28.05.2024 Häusliche Gewalt Nachrichten

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

28.05.2024 Fehlerkultur Podcast

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
