ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study is to purpose a novel approach to the concomitant triplanar and tibial shaft fracture. Methods: Retrospective study between 2001 and 2019. We collected the patients’ general information, clinical and radiographic data, and complications after the following three-step treatment: (1) fixation of the Salter-Harris II fracture of the triplane fracture, (2) fixation of the Salter-Harris II/IV fracture with cannulated screws, and (3) fixation of the tibial fracture with flexible titanium nails. Results: The study included seven patients (six males) with a mean age of 14 years and a mean follow-up of 6.4 years (minimum two years). Five triplane fractures had two fragments and two had three fragments. Five fractures were classified as Salter-Harris II and two as Salter-Harris IV. Three tibial fractures were long oblique, three were spiral, and one had a third fragment. Six fractures affected the middle third and one affected the distal third of the tibia. All triplane and tibial fractures consolidated without significant displacement. No physeal damage was identified. Conclusions: This study described the association of tibial fractures with triplane ankle fractures managed by our proposed treatment, which proved to be effective for this fracture association.

Background. Ministernotomy incisions have been increasingly used in a variety of settings. We describe a novel approach to ministernotomy using arrowhead incision and rigid sternal fixation with a standard sternal plating system.Methods. A small, midline, vertical incision is made from the midportion of the manubrium to a point just above the 4th intercostal mark. The sternum is opened in the shape of an inverted T using two oblique horizontal incisions from the midline to the sternal edges. At the time of chest closure, the three bony segments are aligned and approximated, and titanium plates (Sternalock, Jacksonville, Florida) are used to fix the body of the sternum back together.Results. This case series includes 11 patients who underwent arrowhead ministernotomy with rigid sternal plate fixation for aortic surgery. The procedures performed were axillary cannulation (n=2), aortic root replacement (n=3), valve sparing root replacement (n=3), and replacement of the ascending aorta (n=11) and/or hemiarch (n=2). Thirty-day mortality was 0%; there were no conversions, strokes, or sternal wound infections.Conclusions. Arrowhead ministernotomy with rigid sternal plate fixation is an adequate minimally invasive approach for surgery of the ascending aorta and aortic root.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel approach to implant Ex-Press mini shunt via the pars plana under a scleral flap in pseudophakic or aphakic, vitrectomized patients with secondary refractory glaucoma. Methods: A prospective interventional case series of three patients with secondary glaucoma after pars plana vitrectomy. Intraocular pressure was not controlled by silicone oil removal, if the patient was siliconized, nor the maximum medical treatment. Ex-Press mini shunt via the pars plana was implanted. We evaluated the control of intraocular pressure and the development of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results: During 1-year follow-up, control of intraocular pressure was achieved; 14, 15, and 15 mmHg at the 3 months, and 15, 15, and 16 mmHg at the 6 months in our three cases without antiglaucoma treatment and 16, 16, and 18 with single antiglaucoma medication at 1 year. Blebs were posterior and diffuse. No complications were encountered intraoperatively or postoperatively. Ultrasound biomicroscopy showed suprachoroidal posterior lake of fluid as an additional filtration route without any choroidal or retinal complication. Conclusion: Implantation of Ex-Press mini shunt via the pars plana in aphakic or pseudophakic, vitrectomized eyes is a promising, safe, and effective technique in patients with secondary glaucoma.
