Abstract

Introduction: Cluster randomized crossover trials are often faced with a dilemma when selecting an optimal model of consent, as the traditional model of obtaining informed consent from participant's before initiating any trial related activities may not be suitable. We describe our experience of engaging patient advisors to identify an optimal model of consent for the PREP-IT trials. This paper also examines surrogate measures of success for the selected model of consent. Methods: The PREP-IT program consists of two multi-center cluster randomized crossover trials that engaged patient advisors to determine an optimal model of consent. Patient advisors and stakeholders met regularly and reached consensus on decisions related to the trial design including the model for consent. Patient advisors provided valuable insight on how key decisions on trial design and conduct would be received by participants and the impact these decisions will have. Results: Patient advisors, together with stakeholders, reviewed the pros and cons and the requirements for the traditional model of consent, deferred consent, and waiver of consent. Collectively, they agreed upon a deferred consent model, in which patients may be approached for consent after their fracture surgery and prior to data collection. The consent rate in PREP-IT is 80.7%, and 0.67% of participants have withdrawn consent for participation. Discussion: Involvement of patient advisors in the development of an optimal model of consent has been successful. Engagement of patient advisors is recommended for other large trials where the traditional model of consent may not be optimal.

Abstract

Introduction: Pragmatic trials in comparative effectiveness research assess the effects of different treatment, therapeutic, or healthcare options in clinical practice. They are characterized by broad eligibility criteria and large sample sizes, which can lead to an unmanageable number of participants, increasing the risk of bias and affecting the integrity of the trial. We describe the development of a sampling strategy tool and its use in the PREPARE trial to circumvent the challenge of unmanageable work flow. Methods: Given the broad eligibility criteria and high fracture volume at participating clinical sites in the PREPARE trial, a pragmatic sampling strategy was needed. Using data from PREPARE, descriptive statistics were used to describe the use of the sampling strategy across clinical sites. A Chi-square test was performed to explore whether use of the sampling strategy was associated with a reduction in the number of missed eligible patients. Results: 7 of 20 clinical sites (35%) elected to adopt a sampling strategy. There were 1539 patients excluded due to the use of the sampling strategy, which represents 30% of all excluded patients and 20% of all patients screened for participation. Use of the sampling strategy was associated with lower odds of missed eligible patients (297/4545 (6.5%) versus 341/3200 (10.7%) p

Abstract

Chlorhexidine skin antisepsis is frequently recommended for most surgical procedures; however, it is unclear if these recommendations should apply to surgery involving traumatic contaminated wounds where povidone-iodine has previously been preferred. We aimed to compare the effect of aqueous 10% povidone-iodine versus aqueous 4% chlorhexidine gluconate on the risk of surgical site infection in patients who required surgery for an open fracture.We conducted a multiple-period, cluster-randomised, crossover trial (Aqueous-PREP) at 14 hospitals in Canada, Spain, and the USA. Eligible patients were adults aged 18 years or older with an open extremity fracture treated with a surgical fixation implant. For inclusion, the open fracture required formal surgical debridement within 72 h of the injury. Participating sites were randomly assigned (1:1) to use either aqueous 10% povidone-iodine or aqueous 4% chlorhexidine gluconate immediately before surgical incision; sites then alternated between the study interventions every 2 months. Participants, health-care providers, and study personnel were aware of the treatment assignment due to the colour of the solutions. The outcome adjudicators and data analysts were masked to treatment allocation. The primary outcome was surgical site infection, guided by the 2017 US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Healthcare Safety Network reporting criteria, which included superficial incisional infection within 30 days or deep incisional or organ space infection within 90 days of surgery. The primary analyses followed the intention-to-treat principle and included all participants in the groups to which they were randomly assigned. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03385304.Between April 8, 2018, and June 8, 2021, 3619 patients were assessed for eligibility and 1683 were enrolled and randomly assigned to povidone-iodine (n=847) or chlorhexidine gluconate (n=836). The trial's adjudication committee determined that 45 participants were ineligible, leaving 1638 participants in the primary analysis, with 828 in the povidone-iodine group and 810 in the chlorhexidine gluconate group (mean age 44·9 years [SD 18·0]; 629 [38%] were female and 1009 [62%] were male). Among 1571 participants in whom the primary outcome was known, a surgical site infection occurred in 59 (7%) of 787 participants in the povidone-iodine group and 58 (7%) of 784 in the chlorhexidine gluconate group (odds ratio 1·11, 95% CI 0·74 to 1·65; p=0·61; risk difference 0·6%, 95% CI -1·4 to 3·4).For patients who require surgical fixation of an open fracture, either aqueous 10% povidone-iodine or aqueous 4% chlorhexidine gluconate can be selected for skin antisepsis on the basis of solution availability, patient contraindications, or product cost. These findings might also have implications for antisepsis of other traumatic wounds.US Department of Defense, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, McMaster University Surgical Associates, PSI Foundation.

Abstract

This article explores different nontraditional methods that could be adopted in clinical settings as alternatives to the traditional fibular fixation. Less invasive methods, such as intramedullary nail and screw fixation, might be viable alternatives for managing ankle fractures. These methods might especially benefit patients with poor soft tissue envelopes, low immunity, and poor bone quality. There is minimal soft tissue coverage for most orthopedic implants around the ankle. Various authors have highlighted the importance of minimally invasive surgery as an effective modality for ensuring superior prognosis for ankle fracture surgery or those fractures involving both the distal tibia and fibula.

They are characterized by broad eligibility criteria and large sample sizes, which can lead to an unmanageable number of participants, increasing the risk of bias and affecting the integrity of the trial. We describe the development of a sampling strategy tool and its use in the PREPARE trial to circumvent the challenge of unmanageable work flow.MethodsGiven the broad eligibility criteria and high fracture volume at participating clinical sites in the PREPARE trial, a pragmatic sampling strategy was needed. Using data from PREPARE, descriptive statistics were used to describe the use of the sampling strategy across clinical sites. A Chi-square test was performed to explore whether use of the sampling strategy was associated with a reduction in the number of missed eligible patients.Results7 of 20 clinical sites (35%) elected to adopt a sampling strategy. There were 1539 patients excluded due to the use of the sampling strategy, which represents 30% of all excluded patients and 20% of all patients screened for participation. Use of the sampling strategy was associated with lower odds of missed eligible patients (297/4545 (6.5%) versus 341/3200 (10.7%) p l 0.001).ConclusionsImplementing a sampling strategy in the PREPARE trial has helped to limit the number of missed eligible patients. This sampling strategy represents a simple, easy to use tool for managing work flow at clinical sites and maintaining the integrity of a large trial.

Abstract

Case report A 65-year-old man presented with pain in his left ankle. After a delay, he presented to the orthopaedic clinic where computed tomography scan revealed an intra-articular, locked-lateral calcaneal fracture with dislocation of the peroneal tendons. Conclusions This combination of injuries can produce subtle signs, such as an atypical double-density sign and varus talar tilt, on plain radiographs; however, the consequences of delayed treatment can be catastrophic. Early recognition and treatment are essential to avoid chronic pain and limited function.

Abstract

Introduction Spiral tibial shaft fractures are known to have a high rate of distal intra-articular extension; however, the risk of joint involvement caused by gunshots has not been thoroughly evaluated. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of intra- articular involvement in tibial shaft fractures caused by gunshots. The secondary purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of ankle radiographs versus computed tomography (CT) scans in identifying these fractures. Materials and methods Ninety consecutive patients were identified as having a tibia fracture caused by gunshot at a Level-1 trauma center. Forty-four of these patients were fractures of the mid to distal third shaft. Twenty-eight patients had ankle CT scans available for review, and 24 patients had dedicated ankle films. Three orthopaedic surgeons and a radiologist read the radiographs and CT scans. Sensitivity and specificity analysis was performed for the ankle radiographs using ankle CT scans as the gold standard. Results Seven of the twenty-eight fractures evaluated with a CT scan proved to have intra-articular involvement (Prevalence: 25%, 95% CI: 11.4%–45.2%). One of the seven intra-articular fractures was not seen on dedicated ankle radiographs (14.3%). The sensitivity of diagnosing an intra-articular extension on ankle radiographs was 0.85, 95%CI: 0.42–0.99. The specificity of diagnosing an intra-articular extension on ankle radiographs was 1.00, 95%CI: 0.81–1.00. Of the seven intra-articular fractures, three required additional treatment to address the intra-articular extension. Conclusion The incidence of intra-articular involvement for tibial shaft fractures secondary to gunshot is less than that reported for spiral type fractures (11–45% vs. 25–58%). Although radiographs have a high specificity, the sensitivity is lower than expected, with worse outcomes if a fracture is missed. We recommend that a CT scan should be utilized to determine intra-articular extension in the setting of tibial shaft fractures caused by gunshots.

Abstract

Oligo (polyethylene glycol) fumarate (OPF) hydrogel has been employed in musculoskeletal tissue engineering for photo-encapsulation of chondrocytes and as a matrix for marrow stromal cells differentiation. In this study, we have studied the application of OPF hydrogel for co-encapsulation of DNA and bone cells and examined whether co-encapsulation can enhance gene transfer by maintaining the DNA within the cellular microenvironment. Our results showed that plasmid DNA encoding green fluorescence protein (GFP), co-encapsulated with bone tumor cells, was capable of transfecting the cells and the transfected tumor cells continuously expressed GFP protein over the time course of study (21 days). Furthermore, we have examined the co-encapsulation of estrogen receptor (ER) encoding plasmid DNA and human fetal osteoblast cells (hFOB) that lack endogenous ER. Our results show that the transfected cells responded to estrogen as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and estrogen response element (ERE)-directed luciferase enzyme activities increased with estrogen-treatment. Taken together, these studies show that OPF hydrogel could be further explored for targeted gene delivery in bone and other tissues encapsulated within the hydrogels.

Abstract

This study describes investigation of porous photocrosslinked oligo[(polyethylene glycol) fumarate] (OPF) hydrogels as potential matrix for osteoblastic differentiation of marrow stromal cells (MSCs). The porosity and interconnectivity of porous hydrogels were assessed using magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) as a noninvasive investigative tool that could image the water construct inside the hydrogels at a high spatial resolution. MSCs were cultured onto the porous hydrogels and cell number was assessed using PicoGreen DNA assay. Our results showed 10% of cells initially attached to the surface of scaffolds. However, cells did not show significant proliferation over a time period of 14 days. MSCs cultured on porous hydrogels had increased alkaline phosphatase activity as well as deposition of calcium, suggesting successful differentiation and maturation to the osteoblastic phenotype. Moreover, continued expression of type I collagen and osteonectin over 14 days confirmed osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs. MRM was also applied to monitor osteogenesis of MSCs on porous hydrogels. MRM images showed porous scaffolds became consolidated with osteogenic progression of cell differentiation. These findings indicate that porous OPF scaffolds enhanced MSC differentiation leading to development of bone-like mineralized tissue.

Abstract

Photo-cross-linkable oligo[poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate] (OPF) hydrogels have been developed for use in tissue engineering applications. We demonstrated that compressive modulus of these hydrogels increased with increasing polymer concentration, and hydrogels with different mechanical properties were formed by altering the ratio of cross-linker/polymer in precursor solution. Conversely, swelling of hydrogels decreased with increasing polymer concentration and cross-linker/polymer ratio. These hydrogels are degradable and degradation rates vary with the change in cross-linking level. Chondrocyte attachment was quantified as a method for evaluating adhesion of cells to the hydrogels. These data revealed that cross-linking density affects cell behavior on the hydrogel surfaces. Cell attachment was greater on the samples with increased cross-linking density. Chondrocytes on these samples exhibited spread morphology with distinct actin stress fibers, whereas they maintained their rounded morphology on the samples with lower cross-linking density. Moreover, chondrocytes were photoencapsulated within various hydrogel networks. Our results revealed that cells encapsulated within 2-mm thick OPF hydrogel disks remained viable throughout the 3-week culture period, with no difference in viability across the thickness of hydrogels. Photoencapsulated chondrocytes expressed the mRNA of type II collagen and produced cartilaginous matrix within the hydrogel constructs after three weeks. These findings suggest that photo-cross-linkable OPF hydrogels may be useful for cartilage tissue engineering and cell delivery applications.

Abstract

Management of severely comminuted, complete articular tibial pilon fractures (AO/OTA 43-C) remains a challenge, with few treatment options providing good clinical outcomes. Open reduction and internal fixation of the tibial plafond, tibiotalar arthrodesis, and salvage hindfoot reconstruction procedures are all associated with surgical complications and functional limitations. In this report, we present a case of a complex pilon fracture in a patient with multiple medical comorbidities and socioeconomic disadvantages that was successfully and acutely treated with a retrograde tibiotalocalcaneal hindfoot arthrodesis nail. At final follow-up examination, the patient had decreased pain, a stable plantigrade foot, and could ambulate with normal shoes without any assistive devices.

Abstract

This article describes 2 cases of spinal trauma in which diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was correlated with histopathology for diagnosis of a posterior ligamentous complex injury. Spine fractures are common and represent up to 16% of traumatic fractures. Diagnostic imaging currently involves plain films and computerized tomography, but MRI is being used with increasing frequency. The definition of neurologic tissue injury has had substantial documentation in the spinal literature. Clinically, posterior ligamentous complex injury has been associated with facet disruption, gapping of the spinous processes, and significant kyphosis. Assessment of spinal stability in the spine trauma population is based significantly on the assumed disruption or integrity of the posterior ligamentous complex. High signal intensity in the area of the ligamentum flavum and interspinous ligament on fat-saturated T2 MRIs has been associated with the clinical finding of interspinous ligament disruption noted at surgical exploration. Magnetic resonance imaging in spine trauma is widely accepted despite a paucity of data addressing its histopathologic accuracy. To our knowledge, histopathologic correlation of MRI of ligamentous injuries has not been reported.

Abstract

There is no animal model that reflects the histological and radiographical heterogeneity of osteosarcoma. We assessed seven osteosarcoma cell lines for their potential to develop orthotopic tumors and lung metastasis in SCID mice. Whereas radiologically, 143B developed osteolytic tumors, SaOS-LM7 developed osteoblastic primary tumors. The mineralization status was confirmed by assessing the alkaline phosphatase activity and the microarray expression profile. We herein report a xenograft orthotopic osteosarcoma mouse model to assess osteoblastic and osteolytic lesions, which may contribute in the search for new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Abstract

Patients with intra-articular gunshot wounds (GSWs) are presenting with increasing frequency at many trauma centers. These injuries necessitate a specific treatment regimen that includes a thorough irrigation and debridement as well as surgical exploration of the joint, typically through an open approach. The bullet must be removed from the joint because retained bullets and clothing material in joints can cause several complications, including mechanical symptoms, damage to the articular cartilage1, posttraumatic arthritis2, and, rarely, lead poisoning3. Access to the sacroiliac (SI) joint can be challenging given its location and proximity to surrounding vital structures. An open anterior ilioinguinal approach with use of the lateral window technique can increase blood loss and morbidity. The posterior approach to the SI joint allows for limited intra-articular access and has increased rates of wound complications4. Open approaches carry a theoretical increased risk of wound complications (e.g., infection, hematoma, and dehiscence) and can also be very time-consuming. The exposure and closure in cases where the SI joint needs to be exposed are extensive. Although arthroscopic surgery can be more costly, it affords the patient the advantage of a smaller wound, decreased morbidity at the surgical site, and potentially a decreased length of hospital stay5. For these reasons, percutaneous approaches are gaining favor over open approaches. In 2008, Lee et al. were the first to describe the arthroscopic approach to the SI joint utilizing solely a bullet track6. This technique used one guidewire that was drilled through the bullet for extraction. In our case report, we describe the surgical technique that was used to perform an arthroscopically assisted bulletectomy from the SI joint with use of a dual guidewire technique via the bullet track with arthroscopic as well as fluoroscopic guidance. The patient and …

Abstract

Calcaneal fractures account for 60% of all tarsal bone fractures. Tongue-type calcaneus fractures are longitudinal fractures that exit the calcaneal tuberosity posteriorly and involve a portion of the articular surface. They are often superiorly displaced because of the insertion of the Achilles tendon and pull of the gastroc-soleus complex. Skin compromise complicates a large percentage of these injuries because of the thin layer of soft tissue and superficial nature of the fracture. Early recognition by the emergency physician and prompt operative repair prevent further injury and obviate the need for surgical soft tissue coverage or potential amputation.
