Complete Lymph Node Dissection

SummaryThe international consensus conference from St. Gallen concerning the treatment of early breast cancer concluded in 2003, that sentinel node biopsy was now accepted as method allowing axillary staging in breast cancer. This procedure may avoid complete lymph node dissection in appropriate cases. Since numerous questions associated with the technique are still not defined and the procedure itself is not yet standardized, the German Society of Senology defined the conditions for the routine clinical use of sentinel node biopsy in an interdisciplinary consensus meeting.

Strong Consensus

Background: The evidence supporting best practice guidelines in the field of cartilage repair of the ankle are based on both low quality and low levels of evidence. Therefore, an international consensus group of experts was convened to collaboratively advance toward consensus opinions based on the best available evidence on key topics within cartilage repair of the ankle. The purpose of this article is to report the consensus statements on “Diagnosis: History, Physical Examination, Imaging, and Arthroscopy” developed at the 2017 International Consensus Meeting on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle. Methods: Seventy-five international experts in cartilage repair of the ankle representing 25 countries and 1 territory were convened and participated in a process based on the Delphi method of achieving consensus. Questions and statements were drafted within 11 working groups focusing on specific topics within cartilage repair of the ankle, after which a comprehensive literature review was performed and the available evidence for each statement was graded. Discussion and debate occurred in cases where statements were not agreed upon in unanimous fashion within the working groups. A final vote was then held, and the strength of consensus was characterized as follows: consensus: 51 - 74%; strong consensus: 75 - 99%; unanimous: 100%. Results: A total of 12 statements on the diagnosis of cartilage injuries of the ankle reached consensus during the 2017 International Consensus Meeting on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle. Two achieved unanimous support and 10 reached strong consensus (greater than 75% agreement). All statements reached at least 86% agreement. Conclusions: This international consensus derived from leaders in the field will assist clinicians in the diagnosis of cartilage injuries of the ankle.

Ten statements reached strong consensus (greater than 75% agreement), and 2 achieved consensus. Conclusions: This international consensus derived from leaders in the field will assist clinicians with conservative management and biological treatment strategies for osteochondral lesions of the talus.

Evidence Based Guidelines

Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) are a challenging clinical pathology for orthopaedic surgeons. To date, the treatment guidelines for these lesions have been based on both low quality and low levels of evidence. Therefore, an international consensus group of experts was convened to collaboratively advance toward consensus opinions on key topics regarding cartilage lesions of the talus. Debridement, curettage, microfracture, and fixation techniques are surgical modalities to treat the lesion and were discussed as one portion of the first International Consensus Meeting on Cartilage Repair of the Ankle. The purpose of this abstract is to explain the process and delineate the consensus statements derived from this consensus meeting on debridement, curettage, microfracture, and fixation techniques for osteochondral lesions of the talus. Methods: 75 national and international experts in cartilage repair of the ankle, representing 25 countries and all six continents, were convened and participated in a process based on the Delphi method of achieving consensus. Experts were assigned to groups separated by topics, including debridement, curettage, microfracture, and fixation techniques. Questions and statements were drafted within the groups and a comprehensive literature review was performed and, where possible, used to confirm or dispute the recommendations made. In addition, the available evidence for each statement was graded. Once the statements achieved majority vote within the groups, a vote to the overall group was undertaken. The statements were then further edited on the basis of the discussion and votes within the entirety of the consensus group. A final vote then occurred, and the strength of consensus was characterized as follows: consensus: 51 - 74%; strong consensus: 75 - 99%; unanimous: 100%. Results: 29 statements addressing debridement, curettage, microfracture, and fixation techniques reached some degree of consensus. In the case of microfracture, 94% (strong consensus) agreed that the ideal size guidelines are lesions <10 mm in diameter, <100 mm2 in area, and <5 mm in depth. In addition, 92% (strong consensus) voted that lesion size, location, presence of cyst(s), containment of lesion, joint alignment, bone marrow edema, ankle stability, and previous cartilage repair procedures are all important local prognostic factors for microfracture. For fixation, 90% of participants (strong consensus) voted that a stable displaced OLT fragment or a nondisplaced OLT fragment should be fixed as soon as possible in order to maximize healing potential and minimize intra-articular damage. Conclusion: There is a lack of evidence-based guidelines available to direct treatment for clinicians when managing osteochondral lesions of the ankle. This international consensus derived from leaders in the field will assist clinicians with a combination of expert- and evidence-based guidelines to consider in the treatment of a cartilage lesion of the talus using debridement, curettage, microfracture, and fixation techniques.

Sport Concussion

Abstract The Fifth International Conference on Concussion in Sport was held in Berlin in October 2016. A series of 12 questions and subquestions was developed and the expert panel members were required to perform a systematic review to answer each question. Following presentation at the Berlin meeting of the systematic review, poster abstracts and audience discussion, the summary Consensus Statement was produced. Further, a series of tools for the management of sport-related concussion was developed, including the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool Fifth edition (SCAT5), the Child SCAT5, and the Concussion Recognition Tool Fifth edition. This paper elaborates on this process, the outcomes, and explores the implications for neurosurgeons in the management of sport-related concussion.
