BACKGROUND: To investigate the relationship between tibial tunnel aperture location and postoperative meniscal healing. METHODS: We enrolled 25 patients (20 women and five men, mean age: 62.5 years) who underwent transtibial pullout repair for medial meniscus (MM) posterior root repair. The expected MM posterior root attachment center (AC) and tibial tunnel center (TC) were identified using three-dimensional computed tomography, and the minimum AC-TC distance was calculated. The meniscal healing status following transtibial pullout repair was assessed by second-look arthroscopy (mean postoperative period: 15 months) using a previously reported scoring system (meniscal healing score; range: 0-10). The association between AC-TC distance and meniscal healing score was investigated using univariate linear regression models. The optimal AC-TC distance cut-off for improved MM healing score (≥7) was determined using receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS: The AC-TC distance and meniscal healing score were significantly associated (y = -0.42x + 9.48, R2 = 0.342; P = 0.002), with the optimum AC-TC distance being 5.8 mm. This cut-off had a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 53%. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that AC-TC distance is significantly correlated with postoperative meniscal healing. Anatomical repair within 5.8 mm of the AC may result in improved meniscal healing.

Kenta Saiga, Suguru Yokoo, Hideki Ohashi, Masahiro Horita, Takayuki Furumatsu, Toshifumi Ozaki

Foot & ankle international 41 ( 6 ) 683 - 688 2020.6

Authorship：Last author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

BACKGROUND: Recently, arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis has been performed for moderate-to-severe varus-deformed ankle osteoarthritis. However, the effect of osteophyte resection in the lateral gutter in arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis has not been clarified. We hypothesized that a varus-deviated ankle with lateral gutter osteophytes can be corrected by osteophyte resection. METHODS: Thirty-nine ankles of 38 patients were included. The mean age of patients was 70.0 (45-83) years. The patients were divided into the following groups: group with an osteophyte in the lateral gutter (osteophyte) and group with no osteophytes (nonosteophyte). Preoperative and postoperative tibiotalar angle, tibial plafond angle, and tibiotalar angle under valgus stress, as well as the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot (JSSF) ankle/hindfoot scale, were recorded. Twelve ankles underwent lateral gutter osteophyte resection, whereas the other 27 ankles did not require osteophyte resection. RESULTS: Preoperative tibiotalar angle was higher in the osteophyte group than in the nonosteophyte group (21.8 vs 11.2 degrees, P = .01). The tibiotalar angle in the preoperative valgus stress imaging was higher in the osteophyte group (12.9 vs 5.7, P < .01). However, the postoperative tibiotalar angle was similar between the 2 groups (7.1 vs 5.4, P = .183). JSSF ankle/hindfoot scale improved in both groups. CONCLUSION: Lateral gutter osteophyte resection enabled correction of the varus malalignment in arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative series.

The Knee 27 ( 3 ) 701 - 708 2020.6

Authorship：Last author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

BACKGROUND: Transtibial pullout repair of a medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) is a commonly used procedure, and several techniques have been reported. We hypothesised that pull-out repairs using two simple stitches (TSS) would have similar postoperative outcomes as those using the modified Mason-Allen suture with FasT-Fix (F-MMA). We aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of these techniques, including the meniscal healing status and osteoarthritic change. METHODS: The data of 68 patients who underwent transtibial pull-out repair were retrospectively investigated. The patients were divided into two groups of 41 and 27 patients using F-MMA and TSS, respectively. The clinical outcomes were assessed preoperatively and at second-look arthroscopy (the mean period from surgery was one year) using the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score. The meniscal healing status, evaluated at second-look arthroscopy, was compared between the two groups. The cartilage damage was graded as per the classification of the International Cartilage Repair Society and compared at the primary surgery and second-look arthroscopy. RESULTS: Both groups showed significant improvement in each clinical score. No significant difference was seen in the clinical outcome scores and the meniscal healing status between the two groups at second-look arthroscopy. Moreover, no significant progression of cartilage damage was observed in both groups. Fourteen patients in the F-MMA group developed a complication of suture bar failures postoperatively; however, there were no complications in the TSS group. CONCLUSIONS: The TSS and F-MMA techniques showed favourable clinical outcomes and would be established as clinically useful techniques for the MMPRT treatment.

BACKGROUND: Mirogabalin, which is approved for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain in Japan, is a ligand for the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels. Both pregabalin and mirogabalin act as nonselective ligands at the α2δ-1 and α2δ-2 subunits. Mirogabalin has a unique binding profile and long duration of action. Pregabalin has been reported to produce intolerable adverse effects in some patients. This study investigated outcomes associated with mirogabalin administration in patients with peripheral neuropathic pain who ceased treatment with pregabalin. METHODS: We retrospectively assessed peripheral neuropathic pain using the neuropathic pain screening questionnaire (NeP score) in 187 patients (58 men, 129 women) who were treated with mirogabalin. All patients had switched from pregabalin to mirogabalin due to lack of efficacy or adverse events. Differences in the treatment course (i.e., numeric rating scale (NRS) scores) were compared using one-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni post hoc tests. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 72.3 years (range, 30-94 years), and the mean duration of disease was 37 months (range, 3-252 months). After treatment with mirogabalin for 1 week, NRS scores significantly decreased compared with baseline and continued to decrease over time. After 8 weeks, NRS scores improved by ≥ 30% from baseline in 113 patients (69.3%). Twenty-four patients (12.8%) stopped mirogabalin treatment due to adverse events. Somnolence (26.7%), dizziness (12.3%), edema (5.9%), and weight gain (0.5%) were noted as adverse events of mirogabalin. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this investigation indicate that mirogabalin is safe and effective for reducing peripheral neuropathic pain.

Definitive radiation therapy in patients with unresectable desmoid tumors: a systematic review. International journal

Tomoya Matsunobu, Toshiyuki Kunisada, Toshifumi Ozaki, Yukihide Iwamoto, Masahiro Yoshida, Yoshihiro Nishida

Japanese journal of clinical oncology 50 ( 5 ) 568 - 573 2020.5

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

BACKGROUND: Desmoid tumors are rare soft tissue tumors. Wide local excision has been the standard surgical treatment for desmoid tumors. However, this procedure results in high local recurrence rates, so non-surgical treatments should be considered. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of radiation therapy on patients with desmoid tumors, especially those with unresectable disease. METHODS: We evaluated studies published between 1 January 1990 and 31 August 2017 and cited in PubMed and Ichushi (in Japanese). All studies evaluating the effect of radiation therapy on desmoid tumors were included. Data regarding radiation dose, recurrence and adverse events were recorded. RESULTS: Among 218 identified studies, only 6 were finally included in this review. Local control was achieved in 253 of 317 patients with unresectable or unresected tumors who underwent definitive radiation therapy (the crude rate of local control was 79.8%). Toxicity was evaluated in patients who underwent definitive radiation therapy or surgery plus radiation therapy. One of the most common acute complications was skin toxicity. Frequent late complications of radiation therapy included fibrosis/contracture/joint stiffness, skin disorders, lymphedema and pain. Six patients developed secondary malignancies in the radiation field. CONCLUSIONS: In patients treated unsuccessfully with surgery, watchful waiting and pharmacotherapy, radiation therapy may be an option as salvage therapy because of the high rate of local control. Because desmoid tumors frequently develop in young individuals, children and young patients who receive radiation therapy for the treatment of desmoid tumors should be followed up on a long-term basis with periodic monitoring for late radiation toxicities.

BACKGROUND: Lateral meniscus (LM) posterior root tear (PRT) is often associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and can result in rotational instability, joint overloading, and degenerative changes in the knee. Improved rotational stability and kinematics have been reported after LMPRT repair. However, it is unclear what repair technique can achieve the greatest reduction in LM extrusion (LME). HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized that transtibial pullout repair would decrease LME to a greater extent than other repair techniques. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seventeen patients with ACL injury and complete LMPRT were evaluated. Nine underwent ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and transtibial pullout repair, and eight underwent ACLR and other repairs such as inside-out suturing. Double-bundle ACLR was performed using hamstring tendons, and LMPRT pullout repair was performed through the bone tunnel for the posterolateral bundle. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed immediately preoperatively and at>6 months postoperatively, and LME was measured from coronal images only. RESULTS: A significantly greater decrease in the value of LME from pre- to postoperative measurement was observed in the transtibial pullout repair group (-0.5±0.7mm) than in the other-repair group (1.0±0.9mm, p<0.01). Pre- and postoperative LME measurements were not significantly different between the two groups. DISCUSSION: The most important finding of this study was that transtibial pullout repair resulted in a greater decrease in LME than other repair techniques in patients with ACL injury and LMPRT. This technique might be useful for restoring hoop tension by decreasing LME. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, comparative retrospective study.

BACKGROUND: The survival rate in patients with Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) in Japan was reported to be < 50% in the 1990s. The Japan Ewing Sarcoma Study Group was established to improve the prognosis of ESFT in Japan. The aim of this phase II trial was to determine the efficacy and safety of multimodal treatment for nonmetastatic ESFT. PROCEDURE: Patients with ESFT aged < 30 years were eligible for participation. The chemotherapy regimen consisted of vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (VDC) alternating with ifosfamide and etoposide (IE) repeating every 21 days for 52 weeks. Local treatment included surgery and/or radiation therapy (0-55.8 Gy) based on the margin of resection and histologic response. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) at three years. The study was designed to test whether the lower limit of the 90% confidence interval for PFS would exceed the threshold of 60%. The planned sample size was 53 patients, allowing for 10% of patients being ineligible. RESULTS: Of the 53 patients screened for entry, seven were deemed ineligible. Forty-six patients were considered as the per-protocol set and were used for the efficacy analysis. Three-year PFS was 71.7% (0.59-0.81). Estimated five-year PFS and overall survival were both 69.6%. Although no previously unknown adverse event was reported, three patients developed secondary malignancies (acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and osteosarcoma, one patient each). CONCLUSIONS: Multimodal treatment with standard VDC-IE chemotherapy improved the prognosis for patients with ESFT in Japan, although statistical confirmation of efficacy compared to historical control was not achieved.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research 15 ( 1 ) 147 - 147 2020.4

Authorship：Last author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

BACKGROUND: Inadequate acetabular component orientation is associated with postoperative impingement, dislocation, and accelerated polyethylene wear. Computed tomography (CT)-based navigation systems provide accuracy for total hip arthroplasty (THA) but are not available in all facilities. Accelerometer-based navigation systems are inexpensive, but their accuracy remains undetermined. This study compares the accuracy of cup orientation in THA using CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation systems. METHODS: This retrospective study included 35 consecutive patients (11 males, 24 females; mean age, 65 years) who underwent primary cementless THA via an anterolateral approach in the supine position. Both CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation systems were used simultaneously. The accuracy of cup orientation was compared between the two systems using postoperative CT. RESULTS: The accuracy of cup inclination was 2.7° ± 2.0° in the CT-based group and 3.3° ± 2.4° in the accelerometer-based group. The accuracy of cup anteversion was 2.8° ± 2.6° in the CT-based group and 3.4° ± 2.2° in the accelerometer-based group. No significant difference was observed in cup inclination (p = 0.29) or cup anteversion (p = 0.34) between CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation. CONCLUSIONS: The accuracy of cup positioning did not differ significantly between CT-based and accelerometer-based navigation systems.

Authorship：Last author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Acute calcific retropharyngeal tendinitis is a rare disease, and few studies have reported the radiological findings of its time-course in detail. These radiological findings vary according to the calcific stage. We report a case of acute calcific retropharyngeal tendinitis with eggshell-like calcification detected on follow-up computed tomography (CT). We also review pertinent literature on calcific retropharyngeal tendinitis, with a focus on time-course changes in imaging findings. A 54-year-old Japanese woman presented with acute severe neck pain. She also had a limited range of motion in the rotation of her neck and moderate pain and discomfort during swallowing. Plain radiographs of the cervical spine showed no apparent abnormality. CT revealed massive retropharyngeal calcification in front of the C1-C2 vertebrae. The patient was diagnosed with acute calcific retropharyngeal tendinitis and treated with a soft collar and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Two weeks later, the neck pain and dysphagia improved. At the one-month follow-up, CT showed residual marginal calcification, which was diminishing in size, suggesting eggshell-like calcification. We believe that although the eggshell calcification appearance is extremely rare, it is important to note this atypical presentation of acute calcific retropharyngeal tendinitis.

This is the second report of an atypical peri-implant femoral fracture occurring at the distal screw after intramedullary nail fixation of a pertrochanteric fracture. A 94-year-old Japanese female with a 5-year history of alendronate intake presented with prodromal pain in her right thigh after intramedullary nail fixation. Plain radiographs showed an incomplete noncomminuted transverse fracture at the distal screw, suggesting an atypical peri-implant femoral fracture. The pathogenesis of an atypical peri-implant femoral fracture could be a combined systemic bone metabolism disorder and repetitive overloading at the screw, similar to the pathogenesis of an atypical periprosthetic femoral fracture around stem implantation.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative thrombosis of the external iliac artery (EIA) following open reduction and internal fixation for acetabular fracture is extremely rare. PURPOSE: To report a patient with EIA thrombosis following open reduction and internal fixation using the modified ilioinguinal approach for acetabular fractures. STUDY DESIGN: This is a case report of a 69-year-old male with a left acetabular fracture who was treated surgically. METHODS: A 69-year-old male presented with left hip pain after a 1.5-m fall. Radiographs revealed left acetabular anterior wall and posterior hemitransverse fractures with dome impaction. Computed tomography (CT) showed atherosclerotic changes in many arteries. Open reduction and internal fixation were performed using the modified ilioinguinal approach. Adhesion around the external iliac vessels was severe, and the external iliac vein (EIV) ruptured during exposure. After EIV repair, anatomical reduction was achieved and the fracture was fixed using a reconstruction plate. Nine hours after surgery, the left lower limb showed acute ischemic symptoms. Contrast-enhanced CT indicated complete occlusion of the left EIA. The patient was immediately taken for a thrombectomy via EIA cut-down using a Fogarty catheter. Postoperatively, he had palpable dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses; however, post-reperfusion compartment syndrome developed. Fasciotomy of the left leg was performed. RESULTS: At the 2-year and 4-month follow-up, he was pain-free in his hip and leg. Although he was walking with a cane, activity was limited due to a mild foot drop. CONCLUSIONS: It is very important for surgeons to consider EIA thrombosis as a potential complication following open reduction and internal fixation. In this case, EIA thrombosis could be explained by preoperative atherosclerotic changes and intraoperative vascular handling procedures. Preoperative screening and management, and meticulous surgical procedures are necessary for patients with a high risk of thrombosis.

Background: Meniscal tears are commonly observed in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Meniscal repair has become a common procedure for the injured meniscus, and good clinical outcomes have been reported in such cases when used concurrently with ACL reconstruction. However, it is unclear whether early chondral damage progression can be prevented following meniscal repair with ACL reconstruction, as meniscal damage is a potential risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the zone-specific chondral damage that occurs after arthroscopic meniscal repair with concomitant ACL reconstruction. Our hypothesis was that meniscal repair with ACL reconstruction would not decrease the rate of progression of chondral damage compared to that observed in isolated ACL reconstruction with intact menisci. Methods: This study included 40 patients who underwent anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction. We divided the patients into the following two groups: Group A with an intact meniscus (20 knees) and Group M requiring meniscal repair (20 knees). Chondral damage was evaluated arthroscopically in six compartments and 40 sub-compartments, and these features were graded using the International Cartilage Repair Society lesion classification. The cartilage damage in each sub-compartment and compartment was compared between the two groups both at reconstruction and at second-look arthroscopy (average 16 months postoperatively). At the latest follow-up examination (average 37 months postoperatively), the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score was compared between the two groups. Results: Group M had a significantly worse cartilage status than Group A in five sub-compartments (mainly in the medial compartment) at reconstruction and in nine sub-compartments (mainly in the bilateral compartments) at second-look arthroscopy. The mean IKDC score was better in Group A than in Group M (Group A; 90 vs. Group M; 86). The overall success rate of meniscal repairs was 92% (23 of 25 menisci) at second-look arthroscopy. Conclusion: The progression of post-traumatic chondral damage may occur at a faster rate in patients who require ACL reconstruction and meniscal repair than in patients with intact menisci.

Malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC) is a serious complication of cancers. The present study aimed to establish a multidisciplinary treatment system for urgent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and referral to orthopedists in order to prevent neurological deficits caused by MSCC. In the present study, the extent to which this system achieved early diagnosis and treatment and prevented MSCC-caused neurological deficits was examined. The records from patients with neurological deficits caused by MSCC before (between April 2007 and March 2012; group A) and after (between April 2012 and March 2017; group B) the establishment of the multidisciplinary system at the Shikoku Cancer Center (Ehime, Japan) were retrospectively evaluated. The numbers of patients with neurological deficits were 38 and 7 in groups A and B, respectively. All patients received radiotherapy. The incidence of neurological deficits was 13.2 and 3.4% in groups A and B, respectively (P<0.001). The proportion of patients with improvement in the severity of neurological deficits was 5.3 and 28.6% in groups A and B, respectively (P<0.001). The interval between physicians' recognition of a neurological deficit and MRI and the start of treatment, the number of cases, and the severity of neurological deficits were evaluated in groups A and B. The median interval between recognition of a neurological deficit by physicians and MRI was 3 and 0 days in groups A and B, respectively (P<0.001). The median interval between physicians' recognition of a neurological deficit and the start of treatment was 3 and 0 days in groups A and B, respectively (P<0.001). By using a multidisciplinary treatment system, the incidence and severity of neurological deficits following treatment were significantly improved. Therefore, the multidisciplinary treatment system used in the present study may be useful for early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of MSCC in patients with bone metastases.

General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 68 ( 3 ) 298 - 301 2020.3

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

The prone position is usually not selected for pulmonary resection. The intraoperative body position is an important issue in surgery for non-small cell lung cancer invading the spine because the standard intraoperative body position for a vertebrectomy is a prone position, while that for a pulmonary resection is a lateral decubitus position. Intraoperative changes in body position can cause several complications. Using an O-arm with a navigation system, a partial vertebrectomy was completed with the patient in a prone position thanks to the recognition of accurate surgical margins in the vertebral body; then, without changing the patient's body position, a lobectomy with systemic lymph node dissection was performed via a posterior approach. Especially for procedures requiring a wide resection of the chest wall, a prone position can be selected for a lobectomy with systemic lymph node dissection via a posterior approach without any significant difficulties.
