Prospective Comparative Study

Purpose: the aim of the present study was to verify the differences in the clinical outcomes of two arthroscopic techniques used to treat calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder: needling versus complete removal of the calcium deposit and tendon repair. Methods: from September 2010 to September 2012, 40 patients with calcifying tendinitis of the rotator cuff were arthroscopically treated by the same surgeon using one of the two following techniques: needling (Group 1) and complete removal of the calcium deposit and tendon repair with suture anchors (Group 2). Both groups followed the same rehabilitation program. The two groups were compared at 6 and 12 months of follow-up for the presence of residual calcifications and for the following clinical outcomes: Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Evaluation Form (ASES) shoulder score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder rating scale, Simple Shoulder Test (SST) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: all the clinical scores (Constant, ASES, UCLA, SST and VAS scores) improved significantly between baseline and postoperative follow-up, both at 6 and at 12 months. no differences at final follow-up were found between the two groups. Conclusions: both the techniques were effective in solving the symptoms of calcifying tendinitis of the shoulder. Clinical scores improved in both groups. Residual calcifications were found in only a few cases and were always less than 10 mm. Level of evidence:Level II, prospective comparative study.

Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of an esophagoprotector in reducing the risk of recurrent symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients who requiring temporary cancellation of therapy with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Material and methods. For the prospective comparative study there were selectively chose patients who had been taking PPIs for a long time (at least one month) for the underlying disease and who required temporary discontinuation of antisecretory therapy due to objective medical reasons. The study included patients with endoscopically and/or pH-metrically verified GERD, as well as histologically verified Barrett's esophagus. In the process of randomization of patients, two equal groups were formed, depending on the therapy received at the time of PPI withdrawal: group 1 received antacids on demand, group 2 received antacids on demand, as well as the esophagoprotector Alfasoxx at a dose of 10 ml four times a day (after each meal and at night). The follow-up period was two weeks. The patients recorded episodes of heartburn in their personal diaries. Results. The study included 60 patients (28 men and 32 women). The average age of the examined patients was 43.1 ± 5.3 years. By the end of the two-week follow-up period, the frequency of recurrent symptoms in group 1 was 36.7%, while in group 2 it was 13.3%. The use of the esophagoprotector Alfasoxx contributed to the significant regression of the risk of heartburn recurrence (odds ratio 0.2657; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.07328-0.9637; p = 0.0438) in comparison with the group of patients who received only antacids in the on-demand mode. When analyzing the population of patients who had relapsed symptoms, it was demonstrated that the average number of heartburn episodes in group 1 was 6.18 (95% CI 4,1930-8,1706), and in group 2 – 4.50 (95% CI 0,7121-8,2879). Conclusion. This prospective comparative study demonstrated that the use of the esophagoprotector Alfasoxx helps to reduce the risk of relapse of GERD symptoms in patients requiring temporary cancellation of PPI therapy.

Radial Head Excision

BACKGROUND: Radial head fractures are quite common with incidence 1.5-4% of all adult fractures. The treatment for these fractures depends upon age, type of injury and whether the physics is closed or not. AIM: Comparison between radial head excision versus radial head replacement based on mayo elbow scoring in comminuted radial head fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We did a prospective comparative study comprising 32 patients between age 22-60 years with Mason type II/III radial head fractures at Sir J.J Group of Hospitals, Mumbai. The patients were randomised using the admission day of the week placing 17 patients in the arthroplasty group and 15 patients in the excision group. The patients were followed up for 18-24 months (average 20 months) postoperatively. Results were analysed by the Mayo’s elbow performance score at 6 months and 18 months and were statistically evaluated by unpaired t-test. RESULTS: At 6 months, radial head arthroplasty gave excellent results in 2 patients, good in 5 patients and fair in 8 patients. In excision, there were 5 patients with excellent results at 6 months, 7 with good results and 2 with fair results. At 18 months, of the 17 patients who had undergone head arthroplasty, 2 had excellent results, and the same number had poor results. 7 (46.7%) of the 15 cases who had undergone radial head excision had excellent results. Good results were obtained in 7 cases of each. There was 6 cases (35.3%) of radial head arthroplasty which fell into the fair group. As per Mayo’s score at 6 months follow up, mean and standard deviation (SD) of the scores in arthroplasty was 68.82 and 18.66 respectively & for excision, it was 85.66 and 10.66. At 18 months follow up, it was 75 and 14.89 for arthroplasty & 90.66 and 7.98 for excision. The difference between the results was statistically significant (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Our study shows that long and short-term results of radial head excision are better as compared to arthroplasty in comminuted radial head fractures based on mayo elbow scoring, particularly for dominant upper limbs.

Trochanteric hip fractures in elderly patients have beneted from advances in internal xation. Early failure of internal xation occurs however in a number of cases. The failure after internal xation had been due to initial fracture pattern, communication, sub-optimal fracture xation and poor bone quality. The aim of this prospective comparative study is to analyze the short term follow up results of unstable Intertrochanteric fractures in elderly treated with bipolar hemiarthroplasty and dynamic hip screw (DHS) xation.
