Item Impact of Heart Failure on In-Hospital Outcomes after Surgical Femoral Neck Fracture Treatment(Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021) Marco Martínez, Javier; Bernal Sobrino, José Luis; Fernández Pérez, Cristina; Elola Somoza, Francisco Javier; Azaña Gómez, Javier; García Klepizg, José Luis; Andrès, Emmanuel; Zapatero Gaviria, Antonio; Barba Martín, Raquel; Marco Martínez, Fernando; Canora Lebrato, Jesus; Lorenzo Villalba, Noel; Méndez Bailón, ManuelBackground: Femoral neck fracture (FNF) is a common condition with a rising incidence, partly due to aging of the population. It is recommended that FNF should be treated at the earliest opportunity, during daytime hours, including weekends. However, early surgery shortens the available time for preoperative medical examination. Cardiac evaluation is critical for good surgical outcomes as most of these patients are older and frail with other comorbid conditions, such as heart failure. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of heart failure on in-hospital outcomes after surgical femoral neck fracture treatment. Methods: We performed a retrospective study using the Spanish National Hospital Discharge Database, 2007–2015. We included patients older than 64 years treated for reduction and internal fixation of FNF. Demographic characteristics of patients, as well as administrative variables, related to patient’s diseases and procedures performed during the episode were evaluated. Results: A total of 234,159 episodes with FNF reduction and internal fixation were identified from Spanish National Health System hospitals during the study period; 986 (0.42%) episodes were excluded, resulting in a final study population of 233,173 episodes. Mean age was 83.7 (±7) years and 179,949 (77.2%) were women (p < 0.001). In the sample, 13,417 (5.8%) episodes had a main or secondary diagnosis of heart failure (HF) (p < 0.001). HF patients had a mean age of 86.1 (±6.3) years, significantly older than the rest (p < 0.001). All the major complications studied showed a higher incidence in patients with HF (p < 0.001). Unadjusted in-hospital mortality was 4.1%, which was significantly higher in patients with HF (18.2%) compared to those without HF (3.3%) (p < 0.001). The average length of stay (LOS) was 11.9 (±9.1) and was also significantly higher in the group with HF (16.5 ± 13.1 vs. 11.6 ± 8.7; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Patients with HF undergoing FNF surgery have longer length of stay and higher rates of both major complications and mortality than those without HF. Although their average length of stay has decreased in the last few years, their mortality rate has remained unchanged.- Project number: 240
Item Aprendizaje activo basado en la resolución de casos clínico-radiológicos de patología del aparato locomotor en enseñanza virtual(2021) Crespo Rodríguez, Ana María; Archanco Olcese, Miguel; Cabrera Martín, Mª Nieves; Carreras Delgado, José Luis; Casado Herráez, Antonio; Corona Sánchez, Juan Antonio; Cuenca González, Concepción; Fernández Gutiérrez, Benjamín; Francés Borrego, Alberto; García Merino, Mikel; Gómez Peña, Sara; Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Marco Martínez, Fernando; Marquina Ospina, Gloria; Muñoz Hernando, Miriam; Nava Muñoz, ÁngelLas estrategias de enseñanza on-line basadas en Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) se han utilizado con éxito para acercar la práctica clínica de Radiología a los estudiantes de Grado de Medicina durante el curso académico 2020-21. Los alumnos trabajaron por equipos con el método de Aprendizaje Basado en la Resolución de Problemas (ABRP). De esta manera, se aseguró la consecución de los objetivos formativos y se dio a conocer la forma de trabajo del médico radiólogo, el proceso de razonamiento diagnóstico, los sistemas de información de los hospitales y en particular del Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Item Subspine femoroacetabular impingement: retrospective study of a series of patients treated by hip arthroscopic resection(Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2023) Francés Borrego, Alberto; Martínez García, Álvaro; Baño Barragán, Laura del; Rodríguez González, Alberto; Echevarría Marín, Marta; Marco Martínez, FernandoBackground: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common hip pathology that causes pain and functional limitation in young patients. subspine femoroacetabular impingement (SFAI) is an increasingly diagnosed extra-articular subtype that occurs from mechanical conflict of the anteroinferior iliac spine (AIIS) with the cervico-diaphyseal junction during hip flexion, which is poorly described in the literature. Questions/purposes: We aimed to describe the clinical, functional, and radiological results of the arthroscopic treatment of a group of patients with SFAI treated in our Hip Unit. Study design: Case series. Methods: We present a retrospective study of ten patients with SFAI treated between 2013 and 2020 with arthroscopic resection. Clinical results were assessed with scales such as visual analog scale (VAS); modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS). Radiological results were assessed with radiological measurements, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) reconstructions. Results: Six patients had a Type III AIIS and four of them had Type II. Two patients had previously been surgically treated for FAIS. The range of motion improved in flexion from 107 ± 11 degrees before surgery to 127.5 ± 6 degrees (p = 0.005). MHHS improved from 48.1 (38-75.3) before surgery to 83.1 (57-91) (p = 0.007) and HOOS improved from 65.2 (58-75) to 89 (68.1-100) (p = 0.007). VAS improved from 7.3 (5-9) pre-surgical to 2.5 (0-8) post-surgical (p = 0.005). We did not have significant complications except for an asymptomatic case of heterotopic ossification (Brooker I). Conclusion: Arthroscopic decompression of AIIS in SFAI patients is a safe procedure that provides satisfactory short-term functional results, improving clinical symptoms, function, sports performance, and range of motion in our study.Item Shoulder problems after percutaneous antegrade intramedullary nailing in humeral diaphyseal fractures using contemporary straight third-generation nail(J Shoulder Elbow Surg, 2023) Garriguez Pérez, Daniel; Roman Gómez, Julia; Scarano Pereira, Juan Pablo; Ponz Lueza, Virginia; García-Fernández, Carlos; Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Marco Martínez, FernandoBackground: Antegrade intramedullary nailing in humeral shaft fracture has been abandoned by certain orthopedic surgeons because of rotator cuff injury caused by first- and second-generation intramedullary nails (IMNs). However, only a few studies have specifically addressed the results of antegrade nailing for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures with a straight third-generation IMN; thus, complications need to be re-evaluated. We hypothesized that fixation of displaced humeral shaft fractures with a straight third-generation antegrade IMN with the percutaneous technique avoid shoulder problems (stiffness and pain) incurred by first- and second-generation IMNs. Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center, nonrandomized study of 110 patients with a displaced humeral shaft fracture between 2012 and 2019 treated surgically with a long third-generation straight IMN. Mean follow-up was 35.6 months (range, 15-44 months). Results: There were 73 women and 37 men with a mean age of 64.7 ± 19 years. All fractures were closed (37.3% 12A1, 13.6% 12B2, and 13.6% 12B3 AO/OTA classification). Mean Constant score was 82 ± 19, Mayo Elbow Performance Score 96 ± 11 and the mean EQ-5D visual analog scale score was 69.7 ± 21.5. Mean forward elevation 150° ± 40°, abduction 148° ± 45°, and external rotation 38° ± 15°. Symptoms associated with rotator cuff disease were present in 6.4%. Evidence of radiographic fracture healing was detected in all but 1 case. One postoperative nerve injury and 1 adhesive capsulitis were present. Overall, 6.3% underwent second surgeries (4.5% were minor surgeries like hardware removal). Conclusion: Percutaneous antegrade intramedullary nailing of humeral shaft fractures with a straight third-generation nail considerably reduced complications related to shoulder problems and achieved good functional results.Item Suprascapular nerve injury after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Correlation with screw out of vault penetration and functional situation. Prospective study(Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2023) Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Rodriguez Gonzalez, Alberto; Martín Albarrán, Susana; Moreu Gamazo, Manuel; Ponz, Virginia; García Fernandez, Carlos; Marco Martínez, FernandoIntroduction: Baseplate screws have been suggested as a possible cause of suprascapular neuropathy after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). This study aims to investigate the association between screw penetration out of the vault, electromyographic study and the clinical outcomes. Methods: 31 patients who underwent RTSA for cuff tear arthropathy were prospectively enrolled. They were followed up for a minimum of 24 months. All underwent computed tomography 6 months postoperatively in order to determine the extraosseous position of the screws (perforation of the second bone cortex and protrusion into the supra or infraspinatus fossa). Electrodiagnostic evaluation was performed preoperatively and postoperatively to stablish any relation between cortex perforation of the screw and SSN injury. Clinical outcomes pre and postoperatively (Constant score, ranges of motion, and VAS) of patients with and without documented injury were recorded. Results: 14 patients (45.2%) had abnormal preoperative SSN electrodiagnostic study (chronic or disuse injuries) and 6 patients (19.4%) abnormal postoperative study (acute injury. Of these last 6 patients: 2 cases appeared over the pre-existing lesion and 4 appeared over an intact preoperative nerve, all of them affecting the infraspinatus branch of the SSN. Perforation of the second cortex was detected for 60% of superior screws and 40% of posterior screws. The mean lengths of the superior and posterior screws were 30 and 18.2 mm, respectively. Patients with screw perforation of the second cortex were assessed as having a high risk of nerve injury (40% vs. 9.5%). Conclusions: Preoperative SSN injuries do not have a significant clinical impact and do not predispose to an acute postoperative SSN lesion. The Constant Score and VAS scale for patients with acute SSN injuries were not statistically different than those without SSN injury. Extraosseous position of the screw increases the probability of a SSN injury to 31%. This risk is higher with the posterior screw, which leads us to question whether it is really necessary to use it.Item Third-generation intramedullary nailing for displaced proximal humeral fractures in the elderly: quality of life, clinical results, and complications(Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2020) Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Garríguez Pérez, Daniel; Martínez Illán, Marina; García Fernández, Carlos; Marco Martínez, FernandoIntroduction: Antegrade insertion of third-generation intramedullary nail (IMN) has been shown to provide excellent results in young patients for treatment of displaced two-part surgical neck fracture. In elderly patients, osteoporosis makes internal fixation problematic and frequently contributes to failed fixation and poor clinical results. The purpose of this study was to report the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), functional results, and postoperative complications obtained with straight third-generation antegrade nailing of proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) in elderly patients. Methods: A retrospective review of 32 patients aged 80 y.o. or older presenting a two-part or three-part PHFs treated with a straight IMN with a minimum follow-up of 12 months. Results assessed included 1) radiographic measures 2) clinical data: Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), VAS, range of motion (ROM), Individual Relative Constant score (IRC), Simple Shoulder Test (SST) and 3) Health-related Quality of life (HRQoL) with the EQ-5D index/EQ-VAS. Results: Mean age was 82.1 (range 80-90) and mean follow-up was 45.6 months (range 16-53 months) with 91% of female patients and a mean CCI 4.6. 81% were two-part surgical neck fractures and 19% were three-part greater tuberosity fractures. The mean neck-shaft angle (NSA) at final follow-up was 132º ± 17.9º. 15.6% underwent hardware removal because of subacromial impingement and one patient (3%) was revised to RSA because of severe secondary fracture displacement. Mean IRC was 67,7 ± 30, the mean SST and VAS-Pain were 8.1 ± 3.1 and 3.2 ± 3.2, respectively, and the mean EQ-5D/EQ-VAS were 0.40 ± 0.33/64.2 ± 8.9. At last review, mean active forward flexion, abduction, and external rotation were 115º ± 35º, 100º ± 35º, and 20º ± 15º, respectively. Conclusion: Appropriate selection of fracture and proper operative technique with a third-generation nail result in good functional results and good HRQol with a low complication rate in elderly population.

Tissue engineering could therefore be interesting in order to try to enhance a more biological repair. RhBMP-2 is one of the most osteogenic growth factors and it also induces the formation of collagen type I. However, it has a short half-life and in order to get a more stable release over time it could be integrated in a more slowly degradable carrier, such as an alginate-chitin scaffold. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the alginate-chitin scaffold alone and in combination with different concentrations of rhBMP-2 when applied on chronic rotator cuff lesions in a rat model. Materials and methods: We performed an experimental study with 80 Sprague-Dawley rats, 8 months old, with a chronic rupture of the supraspinatus tendon that was repaired with a modified Mason Allen suture. A scaffold was applied over the suture and 4 groups were obtained; suture (S) only suture, double control (DC) alginate and chitin scaffold, single sample (SS) scaffold of alginate with rhBMP-2 (20 µg rhBMP-2) and chitin, double sample (DS) a scaffold containing alginate with rhBMP-2 and chitin with rhBMP-2 (40 µg rhBMP-2). Macroscopic, histological and biomechanical studies were performed at 4 months after reparation. Results: The modified Åström and Rausing's histological scale (the higher the score the worse outcome, 0 points=native tendon) was applied: S got 52 points compared to DC 30 (p = 0,034), SS 22 (p = 0,009) and DS 16 (p = 0,010). Biomechanically the maximum load was highest in DC (63,05 N), followed by DS (61,60 N), SS (52,35 N) and S (51,08), p = 0,025 DS vs S. As to the elastic constant a higher value was obtained in DC (16,65), DS (12,55) and SS (12,20) compared to S (9,33), p = 0,009 DC vs S and 0,034 DS vs S. Conclusions: The alginate-chitin scaffold seems to promote a more biological response after the reparation of a chronic rotator cuff lesion. Its effect is further enhanced by the addition of rhBMP-2 since the osteotendinous junction is more native-like and has better biomechanical properties.Item Radiographic changes around the glenoid component in primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty at mid-term follow-up(Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2020) Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Galán Olleros, María; Rodríguez Rodríguez, Luis; García Fernández, Carlos; Marco Martínez, FernandoBackground: Some local events after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) occur without the patient experiencing symptoms and yet may be detected on diagnostic imaging, thereby serving as indicators of future complications that may require revision. Most of these events involve the glenoid component, but radiographic studies evaluating this component are scarce, especially medium- and long-term studies. This study aimed to analyze the radiographic changes around the glenoid component and determine the risk factors associated with the presence of these radiographic changes. Materials and methods: A retrospective review of 105 primary Grammont-style RSAs implanted between 2003 and 2014 was conducted. Radiographic outcomes were evaluated in patients with ≥5 years of radiographic follow-up. Standardized digital radiographs obtained immediately postoperatively and at a minimum follow-up time of 5 years were analyzed to determine (1) glenoid component position (inclination and height) and (2) minor radiographic changes (Sirveaux grade 1 or 2 scapular notching; nondisplaced acromial fracture; radiolucent lines around 1 or 2 screws; Brooker grade 1a, 1b, or 2 heterotopic calcifications; or single screw rupture), as well as major radiographic changes (Sirveaux grade 3 or 4 scapular notching; radiolucent lines around ≥3 screws or central peg; Brooker grade 1c or 3 heterotopic calcifications; prosthetic dislocation; loosening or migration; or disassembly). Results: Major radiologic changes were identified in 14.3% of the cases. Bivariate analysis showed that more changes were associated with the arthroplasties implanted in the first years of the study (odds ratio [OR] = 0.81, P = .012). This time-related variable was also associated with inclination (OR = 0.88, P = .045) and height (OR = 0.75, P = .001), improving in arthroplasties implanted in the last years of the study. Multivariate analysis revealed an increased risk of severe scapular notching mainly associated with superior tilt (OR = 2.52, P = .036) and a high (OR = 2.68, P = .019) or excessively high (OR = 7.55, P = .013) position and an increased risk of loosening signs associated with superior tilt (OR = 8.92, P = 9.1 × 10-6). Conclusions: The percentage of radiologic changes of the glenoid component in RSA is considerable, despite the detection of a decrease in their presence among the arthroplasties implanted outside the initial period. Superior tilt and an excessively high position appear to be associated with a severe degree of scapular notching development and increased risk of radiographic loosening signs. Knowledge of the factors associated with major radiologic changes in the medium-term follow-up will help to optimize the primary surgical technique for each patient and indication, improving implant survival in primary RSA surgery.Item Complications after open Latarjet procedure: influence of arm positioning on musculocutaneous and axillary nerve function(European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, 2021) Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Checa, Pablo; García Fernández, Carlos; Martín Albarrán, Susana; López de Ramón, Rafael; Marco Martínez, FernandoBackground: Alterations in the anatomical relationships of the musculocutaneous (MCN) and axillary nerves and the influence of arm positioning on these relationships after a Latarjet procedure have been demonstrated in the cadaver, but there are no studies in the literature that establish if there is any neurophysiological repercussion. Methods: We retrospectively identified 24 patients with a primary or revision open Latarjet procedure. A prospective clinical (Constant-Murley, Rowe and Walch-Duplay and active range of motion), radiographic (with CT), and electrodiagnostic evaluation was made at the most recent follow-up. Results: Nonunion occurred in four patients (22%); there were, as well, one case of partial coracoid reabsorption (5%) and two (11%) with mild glenohumeral osteoarthritis. In the anatomical position, we found no alterations in the musculocutaneous nerve and two cases (11%) in the axillary nerve slight motor unit loss. In the risk position, 11 cases (61%) had neurophysiological involvement (36% had neurophysiological changes in the musculocutaneous nerve and 64% in the axillary nerve). No differences between patients with or without neurophysiologic changes were found: Constant 87/83; Rowe 89/90; Walch-Duplay 84/78; Forward elevation 175º/170º, abduction 165°/175°; external rotation 48°/45°. Conclusion: The rate of clinical electromyographic changes in the axillary and MCN in the abducted and externally rotated arm position (risk dislocation position) is higher than in neutral position. Nonunion of the coracoid process must play a role in these neurophysiological changes. Although in the medium-term they don't have clinical impact, further randomized prospective studies with a larger sample size are necessary to determine their true repercussion.Item Acromioclavicular joint dislocation associated with a coracoid process fracture: report of 2 cases(JSES International, 2020) Galán Olleros, María; Lópiz Morales, María Yaiza; Arvinius, Camila; García Fernández, Carlos; Marco Martínez, Fernando
