Article Abstract
Postoperative adhesions are a frequent complication encountered after surgical procedures, mainly after intraperitoneal interventions. To this day, the pathophysiological mechanism behind the process of adhesions formation is not completely known. There are many strategies proposed as prophylaxis methods, involving surgical techniques, drugs or materials that prevent adhesions and even state of the art technologies such as nanoparticles or gene therapy. The aim of our review is to present these innovative approaches and techniques for postoperative adhesions prevention. After a thorough scientific database query, we selected 84 articles published in the past 15 years that were relevant to our topic. Despite all the recent groundbreaking discoveries, we are at an early stage of understanding the complexity of the adhesion formation mechanism. Further investigations should be made in order to create an ideal product for safe clinical use for prevention.

Patients on Losartan Have Similar Rates of Manipulation Under Anesthesia After Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Cureus
August 2025
Orthopaedics/Orthopaedic Surgery, The Rothman Orthopaedic Institute at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, USA.
Introduction Patients have identified knee stiffness as a factor contributing to postoperative dissatisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that has demonstrated antifibrotic effects; however, the impact of perioperative losartan on arthrofibrosis after TKA is not well understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if losartan exhibits antifibrotic benefits in patients who undergo TKA by decreasing the rates of manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), when compared to patients who are not taking losartan.

Division of Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery, Department of Orthopedics, Olympia Hospital & Research Centre, Trichy, Tamilnadu, India.
Background: Extensor indicis proprius (EIP) transfer augmented with proximal extensor pollicis longus (EPL) stump lengthening restores thumb extension and optimizes function in cases of chronic EPL tendon ruptures, which impair hand dexterity and fine motor skills. Traditional EIP-to-EPL transfers often disrupt the natural oblique course of the EPL around the Lister tubercle, leading to functional deficits. This dual-tendon transfer preserves anatomical alignment and improves thumb biomechanics, enhancing extension strength and the adduction moment arm at the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint.

Division of Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery, Department of Orthopedics, Olympia Hospital & Research Centre, Trichy, Tamilnadu, India.
Background: Hemi-hamate osteochondral grafting is a surgical technique that is utilized to reconstruct the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint in cases of unstable dorsal fracture-dislocation with >50% articular surface involvement. However, hemi-hamate osteochondral grafting can be technically challenging, has been reported to have various technical modifications, and can lead to complications such as overstuffing of the joint. This surgical technique article describes successful PIP joint reconstruction with use of a hemi-capitate osteochondral graft, which may offer a viable alternative to hemi-hamate osteochondral graft.

Department of Mini-invasive Spinal Surgery, The Third People's Hospital of Henan Province, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
Background: This study aimed to develop and validate the first nomogram model for predicting postoperative complications in thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS) patients undergoing unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE), integrating multidimensional risk factors to provide a quantitative basis for preoperative risk evaluation and individualized treatment planning.
Methods: Patients were divided into a retrospective training cohort ( = 375) and a prospective validation cohort ( = 100). Baseline clinical data [age, diabetes, preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score], radiographic parameters (Spinal cord/canal area (SC/ECA) ratio, intramedullary high signal, thoracic kyphosis (TK) angle), and surgical variables (intraoperative blood loss, number of lesion segments, dural adhesion, etc.
Autologous Fibrin Glue in Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia and Hemifacial Spasm.

Adhesive materials are widely used in microvascular decompression for treating neurovascular compression syndromes. They play an important role in the critical step of vessel fixation. Recently, completely autologous fibrin glue produced solely from a patient's own plasma was developed.
