Abstract

Purpose

To quantify the risk of perioperative and postoperative complications of derotational femoral and/or tibial osteotomies in patellofemoral disorders (anterior knee pain and patellar instability) in adolescents and active young patients.

Methods

MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane and Scopus databases were used to identify studies published from database inception and June 30, 2021. Meta-analysis was performed to pool the rates of complications related to femur and tibia osteotomies. Values of proportion of complications were expressed as proportions and 95% confidence intervals (CI) and then transformed using a Freeman Tukey double arcsine transformation. Meta-regression was used to explore factors that potentially may influence on heterogeneity such as year of publication, quality of the included studies and site of the osteotomy.

Results

The 22 studies identified included a total of 648 derotational osteotomies in 494 patients. Studies consisted of 20 case series (non-comparative) and 2 comparative observational non-randomized cohorts. Tibial osteotomies showed higher risk of complications than femoral osteotomies (random pooled prevalence 9%; 95% CI 4–15% versus 1%; 95% CI 0–5%, respectively, p < 0.01). The meta-regression analysis of the articles showed that the only parameters responsible of the variance in number of complications were the osteotomy site.

Conclusions

Derotational femoral and/or tibial osteotomy is a safe surgical procedure in the treatment of patellofemoral disorders (anterior knee pain and patellar instability) in adolescents and active young people.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

28.05.2024 Traumatologische Notfälle Nachrichten

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
