Dorsal suspension for Morton’s neuroma: A comparison with neurectomy

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the clinical outcomes of dorsal suspension with those of neurectomy for the treatment of Morton’s neuroma.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study of dorsal suspension and neurectomy group. The dorsal suspension was performed by dorsal transposition of neuroma over the dorsal transverse ligament after neurolysis. The visual analog scale (VAS), the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), postoperative satisfaction, and complications were evaluated.ResultsBoth groups reported significant pain relief, and there were no significant differences between the groups with respect to postoperative pain. The postoperative FAAM outcomes showed no significant between-group differences. Satisfaction analysis showed ‘excellent’ and ‘good’ results in the dorsal suspension and neurectomy groups (95% and 77.7%, respectively). Complications of numbness and paresthesia reported in the dorsal suspension group (5% and 5%, respectively) were significantly fewer than those of neurectomy group (61.1% and 33.3%, respectively) (both, p < .05).ConclusionsWith its favorable results, dorsal suspension can be another operative option for the treatment of Morton’s neuroma.Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative case series.     

Impact des troubles orthopédiques sur la ventilation du sujet IMC/polyhandicapé

Cerebral Palsy motor disorder triggers orthopedic complications. These complications do develop by themselves and gradually degrade the motor function. The functioning of the ventilatory pump is no exception to this process. Other orthopedic impairments are impacting more indirectly ventilation. Some orthopedic treatments used for PC people are likely to worsen this clinical situation, temporarily or more permanently. Any therapeutic intervention must include two essential points: acting previously to realign posture and considering interactions of treatments on different functions.     

前后路联合三维矫形手术治疗青少年特发性僵硬型胸椎侧凸

目的:评价前路松解联合后路三维矫形治疗青少年特发性僵硬型胸椎侧凸的效果,探讨术中、术后并发症的预防措施。方法:青少年特发性僵硬型胸椎侧凸34例,男5例,女29例;年龄8～21岁,平均14.7岁。均为右侧凸。均采用经前路松解植骨融合联合后路三维矫形内固定治疗,其中前路经胸入路26例,胸腔镜前路松解植骨融合矫形术8例。随访时均摄全脊柱X线片。术前、术后所摄X线片进行以下各项测量指标比较:Cobb角、顶椎的旋转度、下融合椎旋转度、躯干偏移距离。随访时观察有无脊柱失平衡、假关节形成及其他并发症的发生。结果:全部病例均获随访,时间12～39个月,平均22个月。所有患者Cobb角术后平均矫正率80.62%,其中18例患者出现矫正度数丢失,丢失度数3°～10°,平均4.3°(术后平均14.2°,1年后随访平均18.5°)。所有患者术后胸椎生理性后凸得到重建。术后胸椎融合弯顶椎的旋转改善率62.91%,下融合椎旋转改善率47.60%,躯干偏移平均距离3.3mm,未见脊柱失平衡现象。围手术期并发症包括低氧血症1例,胸腔积液2例,均经保守治疗后痊愈。术后6个月肺功能检查,未见有明显下降。脊柱胸弯融合段未发现假关节形成。结论:前路松解联合后路矫形内固定植骨融合治疗青少年特发性僵硬型胸椎侧凸可明显改善顶椎的旋转度,得到满意的三维矫形效果。术前积极准备、合理手术设计,术中严格操作,术后重视预防并发症能减少手术并发症的发生。
