Article Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the technical procedure, safety, and clinical value of the transosseous approach for computed tomography (CT)-guided radioactive 125-iodine (I) seed implantation for the treatment of thoracic and abdominal lymph node metastases.

Subjects And Methods: This was a retrospective study that Nine lymph node metastases in nine patients were treated in our hospital between January 2010 and August 2018. Under CT guidance, at least one puncture path was made through the transosseous approach. The seeds were planted according to the TPS. CT/MRI scans were performed every 2 months after the treatment to evaluate local therapeutic efficacy according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors.

Results: The transosseous approach was successfully established in all patients. The median follow-up time was 11 months (6-36 months). At 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months after operation, the objective effective rate and clinical benefit rate were 66.67%, 77.78%, 77.78%, 71.43%, 66.67% and 50.00%; and 88.89%, 88.89%, 88.89%, 71.43%, 66.67% and 50.00%, respectively. The survival rate of the patients at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months after operation was 53.00%, 26.00%, 26.00%, 13.00%, 13.00% and 13.00%, respectively.

Conclusions: The transosseous approach for CT-guided radioactive I seed implantation was safe, effective, and minimally invasive for the treatment of thoracic and abdominal lymph node metastases.

Challenges and complications of trans-osseous carpal tenodesis for scapholunate ligament tears.

J Hand Microsurg

Scapholunate (SL) instability remains a challenging condition with significant possibility of implications for wrist function and long-term outcomes. This review explores the limitations and complications of current trans-osseous scapholunate ligament (SLL) reconstruction techniques, focusing on isometric reconstruction challenges and complications, for example osteonecrosis, tunnel fractures, graft failure, and iatrogenic extrinsic ligament injuries. Through biomechanical analysis and clinical case reviews, we demonstrate that the conventional three-ligament tenodesis (3LT) scaphoid tunnel has high risk of resulting in a non-isometric volar scapho-trapezial (vST) ligament reconstruction, potentially exacerbating carpal instability.

Background: Two commonly used techniques for securing the tendon graft to the patella in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction include the suture anchor (SA) method and the transosseous (TO) method. This study aimed to compare the outcomes in groups of patients who underwent SA and TO methods for patellar fixation in MPFL reconstruction.

Methods: A systematic review was carried out.

Rotator cuff injuries are a common cause of shoulder pain, primarily affecting individuals older than 40 years, with the incidence increasing progressively with age. Advancements in surgical techniques have led to the development of arthroscopic techniques. This evolution has transitioned through various arthroscopic suture anchor rotator cuff repair configurations, including single-row, double-row, and transosseous-equivalent constructs.

Introduction And Importance: Neglected patellar tendon rupture is a rare but disabling condition, often considered as a developing-country entity, due to late diagnosis or inadequate initial management. The therapeutic approach is complex, requiring surgical reconstruction. Several techniques have been described, including the use of autografts, allografts or synthetic materials.

Objectives: Hip abductor tendon tears remain an underrecognized diagnosis, initially classified under Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome. This often results in ineffective conservative treatment, providing only temporary pain relief. While certain surgical approaches, particularly knotless double-row repair techniques (Hip Bridge) have shown promising clinical outcomes, comprehensive biomechanical data remain insufficient.
