Proximal fibular osteotomy - What is the evidence?Dr Saseendar MD
Proximal fibular osteotomy has been proposed as a simple and inexpensive alternative to high-tibial osteotomy and unicondylar knee arthroplasty and may be useful for low-income populations that cannot afford expensive treatment methods. However, there is no consensus existing regarding the mechanism by which it acts nor the outcome of this procedure. This study was performed to analyze the available evidence on the benefits of proximal fibular osteotomy and to understand the possible mechanisms in play. There are various mechanisms that are proposed to individually or collectively contribute to the outcomes of this procedure, and include the theory of non-uniform settlement, the too-many cortices theory, slippage phenomenon, the concept of competition of muscles, dynamic fibular distalization theory and ground reaction vector readjustment theory. The mechanisms have been discussed and future directions in research have been proposed. The current literature, which mostly consists of case series, suggests the usefulness of the procedure in decreasing varus deformity as well as improving symptoms in medial osteoarthritis. However, large randomised controlled trials with long-term follow-up are required to establish the benefits of this procedure over other established treatment methods.

Osteotomía de Fulkerson más injerto óseo tricortical (efecto Maquet) en el manejo de la artrosis patelofemoral grado IV asociado a mal alineamiento patelofemoral grado IV: cohorte retrospectiva
Presentación realizada por la Unidad de Rodilla del
Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet (Zaragoza), en el curso de la II Jornada Hospital Innovador que tuvo lugar el 29 de octubre de 2014 en el Centro de Investigación Biomédica de Aragón (CIBA)

The Principe of high tibial osteotomy is to reduce the stresses of the internal compartment of the knee by valgizing the tibia.The
total knee arthroplasty on this tibia with a “malunion” presents technical difficulties related to the initial approach, the presence of osteosynthesis material, the presence of malunion and the change of bone density. The objectives of this study are to determine the clinical and radiographic results of patients undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) after High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO). This is a retrospective descriptive study including patients undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) after an High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) at the Hospital of Mont de Marsan (France) from 2008 to 2017 with a minimum follow-up of 12 months. Thirty knees (27 patients) were recruited. The sex ratio was 1.72. The average age was 70.33 years (54years-88years). The average time between High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) and Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) was 10.83 years (1 year-26 years). The medial opening was 63.33% and lateral closure for the rest. Clinical improvement was observed, with an average gain of 24.97 points for pain, 1 point for stability, 1 point for knee mobility and 5 points for walking distance. The clinical result was perfect in 13.33%, excellent in 42% and medium in 36.67% of cases. The alignment was obtained in 76.67% of cases (p = 0.0039). The posterior tibial slope, epiphyseal varus, patellar height were corrected in 80% of cases respectivly (p = 0.000011, p = 0.44, p = 0.15). Residual pain was observed in 26.66%, joint stiff ness in 16.66%, skin healing disorder in
16% and infection in 6.66% of cases. Total knee arthroplasty made it possible to recover the failure of an high tibial osteotomy.

Open debridement and radiocapitellar replacement in primary and post-traumati...Alberto Mantovani
Background: Postmortem and clinical studies have shown an early and prevalent involvement of the radiohumeral
joint in primary and secondary arthritis of the elbow. The lateral resurfacing elbow (LRE) prosthesis
has recently been developed for the treatment of lateral elbow arthritis. However, few data have been
published on LRE results.
Materials and methods: A prospective multicenter study was designed to assess LRE preliminary results.
There were 20 patients (average age, 55 years). Preoperative diagnosis were primary osteoarthritis in 11
and post-traumatic osteoarthritis in 9. All patients underwent open debridement and LRE prosthesis.
Patients were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively with the Mayo Elbow Performance Score
(MEPS), modified American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons (m-ASES) elbow assessment, and the Quick
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Quick-DASH). Mean follow-up was 22.6 months.
Results: At the last follow-up, the mean improvement of MEPS and m-ASES was 35 (P ¼ .001) and 34
(P ¼ .001) respectively; the average Quick DASH decreased by 29 (P ¼ .001). Average range of motion
was improved by 35 (P ¼.001). MEPI results were excellent in 12 patients, good in 2, and fair and poor in
3 each. Mild overstuffing was observed in 5 patients, and an implant malpositioning in 3. The implant
survival rate was 100%.
Conclusion: LRE showed promising results in this prospective investigation. Most patients had an
uneventful postoperative course and have shown a painless elbow joint, with satisfactory functional
recovery at short-term follow-up. Further studies with longer follow-up are warranted.

Los estudios de medicina nuclear han sido omitidos en el abordaje diagnóstico de prótesis dolorosa con sospecha de infección por heterogeneidad de la evidencia y costo efectividad. Existen pacientes con baja probabilidad de infección y gammagrafía ósea de tres fases positiva, el objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el desenlace diagnóstico y terapéutico de
estos pacientes.
El diagnóstico etiológico de una prótesis fallida es un reto. En pacientes con baja probabilidad de infección y gammagrafía ósea de tres fases positiva la infección como factor casual es poco probable. Pocos estudios describen el resultado de la gammagrafía ósea en pacientes con baja probabilidad de infección.

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” Leo Tolstoy
thoughts about the need to disrupt yourself first, then your business and industry.
Nowadays, companies are becoming global, but its necessary that they act strategically at a local level. How global companies unlock the value of sustainable and profitable growth, balancing the main three tradeoffs of multinationals? What does it take for multinationals to successfully execute global strategies?
I have compiled a whole framework, where 6 key tensions are the core, between Headquarters and Subsidiaries. By understanding this framework managers could fine tune their global strategies implementations and leverage from the new globalisation trend: local at a global scale.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

ABSTRACT
Background: The surgical treatment options in severe patellofemoral arthritis secondary to
patellofemoral malalignment are limited. The majority of the surgical procedures include
distal patellar realignment through different types of tibial tuberosity osteotomies, current
evidence reports different results. Aim: evaluate the functionality and the level of pain in a
cohort of patients with patellofemoral arthritis secondary to patellofemoral malalignment
treated by Fulkerson osteotomy plus tricortical bone graft between 2001 y 2011.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with severe patellofemoral
arthritis secondary to patellofemoral malalignment treated by Fulkerson osteotomy plus
tricortical bone graft between 2001 and 2011. The results were evaluated using the
Lysholm scale modified by Fulkerson and the VAS score. A mean follow-up of44.0± 26.8
months, range 2-11.9 years.
Results:A total of 38patients (45 knees, 7 bilateral) were treated using the technique
described, 35 women (92.1%). An average age of 44.7±10.9 years (range between 23 and
62 years). All of the patients showed an improvement in the VAS score. The results of the
functional scales were 93.3% excellent and good results. During follow up we do not report
deterioration. We do not report major complications.
Conclusions: Fulkerson osteotomy plus tricortical bone graft is an adequate treatment in
functionality and decreased pain severity in the short term in patients with patellofemoral
arthritis secondary to patellofemoral malalignment.

INTRODUCTION
Severe patellofemoral arthritis secondary to patellofemoral malaligment results in great
and progresive impairment in the quality of life and productivity of the patients affected
by this condition. (1, 2). The non surgical options available are ineffective. The surgical
options are limited, require prolonged periods of rest and the results are variable. (3–7).
The most frequently used surgical procedures have in common a distal patellar
realigment through the different type of osteotomies of the tibial tubercle with either
medialization or anteriorization. (3,4,8) (Figures 1 and 2). The elevation of the tibial
tubercle proposed by Bandi and Maquet increases the efficacy of the Quadriceps
augmenting the lever arm while decreasing the reaction force of the patellofemoral joint
(3). Maquet concludes that there is a 50% reduction in the compresive forces at the
patellofemoral joint after a 2 cm anteriorization of the tibial tubercle. This hypothesis
has been confirmed by Ferguson and Brown (9), they proved that anteriorizations of 1,2
cms, 2,5 cms and 3,7 cms resulted in great relieve of the tension. They reported a 57%
relieve with 1,2 cms. Anteriorizations of 2,5 cms and 3,7 cms resulted in relieves of
30% and 9% respectively. These authors concluded that the main benefit is obtained
with the first 1,2cms of anteriorization and that from this point forward the
complications increased while no benefit was obtained. One of the causes of
complications, mainly in the skin, is the use of bone grafts of great size. (10).

In the Fulkerson osteotomy, the degree of inclination of the osteotomy determines the
final medialization and anteriorization. (Figura 2). The greater the degree of inclination
the greater the anteriorization is attained but also the lesser medialization results.
(5,8,11).

For the younger patients with severe patellofemoral arthrosis in which whom
arthroplasty is not convenient, is necessary to find surgical options that are capable of
retain a functional knee.
Fulkerson described a modification to his technique, an oblique osteotomy with the
addition of a bone graft to optimize the anteriorization effect. (12,13). (Figure3).

osteotomy. A. Original position of the osteotomy. B. Position after the osteotomy.
C. Position with the addition of a bone graft. From Fulkerson. 1994(12).
Taking these biomechanical principles into account, since 2001, at the Hospital Militar
Central and in the Clinica Universitaria Colombia, one of the authors (E. Afanador) has
implemented a Fulkerson osteotomy plus tricortical bone graft to patients with
patellofemoral malaligment and severe ( Outerbridge grade IV) patellofemoral
arthrosis. (14), choosing and oblique osteotomy of the tibial tubercle at 30 degrees,
trying to maintain a balance between the medialization effect for a good patellar
alligment and the anteriorization effect with the use of a tricortical bone graft. (Figure
4). The degree of medialization is determined in the OR through arthroscopy, once the
patellar position desired is evident.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcomes and the level of pain in a
cohort of patients with severe patellofemoral arthrosis secondary to patellofemoral
malaligment, treated with the Fulkerson Osteotomy plus a tricortical bone graft between
2001 and 2011.

METHODS AND MATERIALS
A retrospective cohort was conducted in patients with severe patellofemoral arthrosis
secondary to patellofemoral malaligment treated by one of the authors (E. Afanador)
between 2001 and 2011 with the tecnique described by Fulkerson, with the addition of a
tricortical bone graft, evaluating functionality and pain.
The including criteria for the patients were: patients with severe patellofemoral
arthrosis demonstrated arthroscopically and patellofemoral malaligment treated with the
tecnique described. Patients with a follow up less than two years were excluded. The
surgical procedure was indicated in patients with anterior knee pain that did not
improved with medical treatment during six months, pain that interfered with daily life
activities, severe patellofemoral arthrosis and patellofemoral malaligment demonstrated
by X rays, Axial CT of the patella at 0º-20º-40º and confirmed by arthroscopy. (14).
The procedure was not indicated in patients with inflamatory diseases, posttraumatic
patellofemoral arthrosis and tricompartmental artrosis.
The main outcomes evaluated were functionality and pain. These were evaluated with
the application of the Lysholm score modified by Fulkerson (5,15) which evaluates 7
points: 1. Limp 2. Support 3. Stair climbing 4. Squatting, 5. Pain 6. Instability 7.
Swelling. This is a 100 points based score, where excellent results are obtained with a
95-100 score, very good results with a 90-94 score, good results wiht a 80-89 score,
mild results with a 70-79 score and poor results with a 70 or less score (Table 1).
The pain was evaluated with the VAS score, (VAS)(16) patients were asked for their
pain before the procedure and at the moment of the evaluation for this study. The
degree of subjective satisfaction after the surgical intervention was evaluated too, if the
patient was better, the same or worst after the procedure (17) and if the patient would
recommend this procedure to other patients. Other variables evaluated were age,
gender, laterality and associated complications.
8. 8
The information was obtained post surgery, the scores were used obtaining variable
times among the patienst according to the time of the surgery and the moment when
they were evaluated. All the patients gave their verbal authorization for the realization
of the study, the use of the scales and questionnaires. No patient refused to be in the
study. The patients were taken from the Hospital Militar Central and the Clinica
Universitaria Colombia databases. All the information was condensed in a new
database made with Microsoft Excel software 2007 version. The deparments of
epidemiology and stadistics of the Hospital Militar Central and the Clinica Universitaria
Colombia evaluated also the study to determine its quality. The clinical charts of the
patients were evaluated to confirm the diagnosis and the surgical procedure conducted,
the age, gender, diagnosis, laterality of the affected limb, time of surgery and
complications.

Statistical analysis
The database was build using Microsoft Excel Software (versión 2007) and the
information was depurated using SPSS version 20 (Statistical Package for de Social
Sciences 20 (BMI/SPSS 20)).
The normal numeric scores were evaluated using the Shapiro Wilk test for the Lysholm
score modified by Fulkerson. This score classified ordinal categories: excellent, very
good, good, mild, poor.
10. 10
The VAS score changes were evaluated before the surgery and in the post surgical
period with the non parametric test of Wilcoxon. For determining if it was significant
difference in the functionality Fulkerson score we used the non parametric ANOVA
from Kruskall-Wallis.
The results were statistically significant with a level of 5% (p<0,05).
Surgical Tecnique
The arthroscopy was conducted without the use of a tourniquet. It was verified the
subluxation and the severe patellofemoral arthrosis through the conventional portals for
the knee. Associated lesions were also evaluated. The tricortical bone autograft was
harvested from the ipsilateral iliac crest, shaping it in a trapezoidal way of 10mm. Later
the external liberation was conducted. Anterolateral longitudinal approach of 5-6cm
below the external articular line through caudal parallel to the tibial tubercle.
Subperiostical elevation of the muscular structures of the anterolateral fossa, avoiding
the use of separators in the posterior aspect of the tibia to diminish the risk of
neurological damage.
The external liberation of the lateral retinaculum, capsule and sinovia is completed
from caudal (site of the osteotomy) to cephalic (proximal pole of the patella). Excision
of the infrapatellar fat pad. Delineate of the osteotomy on the lateral cortical of the tibial
tubercle, 7 cms of longitude by 1 cms of thickness in relation with the anterior border of
the tibia, perforation of the lateral cortical through the medial cortical with a 3.2 drill,
with a 30 degrees inclination from posterior to anterior and from lateral to medial.
(Figure 5). The ostetomy is completed with an oscillanting saw.

median distance of 5 mm between each orifice. (Figure 6).

Through the tibial incisión any osteophyte is removed from the lateral margin of the
patella and from the lateral femoral condyle. The anteriorization of the tibial tubercle is
obtained with the oblique osteotomy and the addition of the tricortical bone graft of 10
mm of spesor. The degree of medialization of the tibial tubercle is determined once the
patella is in an adequate position. A temporal fixation of the tibial tubercle is obtained
with a K wire of 2.0mm without perforating the bone graft. The right patellofemoral
position is verified arthoscopically and definitive fixation is obtained using two cortical
screws of 4.5 mm with a washer, using a lag screw tecnique, avoiding the perforation
of the bone graft to diminish the risk of fracture. (Figure 7).

Postoperative care
Low Molecular Weight Heparin is used for ten days. The pain control is obtained using
opioids. After the second day walking is encouraged with crutches, with progresive use
of the extremity according to the patient tolerance. Physical therapy is initiated with
isometric exercises of the Quadriceps, pasive and active movement assisted to gain
flexion. Control x rays are performed every six weeks obtaining consolidation of the
osteotomy between the eight and the ten week. The crutches are used for four weeks,
then from the fifth to the eight week only one crutch is used, and then is suspended if
the muscular calification of the quadriceps muscle is 4/5. The rehabilitation is
continued wiht emphasis in propioception and hydrotherapy. The screws are removed if
the patient reports pain.

RESULTS
The cohort was conformed by 38 patients and a total of 45 knees. ( 26 right knees and 19
left knees) whom were intervened with a fulkerson osteotomy plus a tricortical bone graft
and spongialization between 2001 and 2011. The most frequent gender was femenine with
a 92,1% (n=35) and the average age was 44,7±10,9 años, with variation between 23 and
62 years. The mean follow up from the date of the surgical procedure to the application of
the questionnaries was 44,0±26,8 months (mean=34,3 months) with a range between 2and
11,9 years. All of the patients showed and improved pain according to the VAS score, with
an average VAS score of 9 in the pre surgical period and an average VAS score of 2 in the
postoperative period, with a seven point improvement in the VAS score. (p <0,001, non
parametric test of Wilcoxon) (Figure 8).

16. 16
score had an average result of 90,4± 7,9 and a mean of 94. The classification found
excellent results in 44,4% of the patients (20 knees), very good results in 11,1% (5 knees),
good results in 37,8% (17 knees), mild results in 6,7 % (3 knees) (Figure 9).

Among the follow up groups and the functionality scores we found no differences
(p=0,722, non parametric test of Kruskall-Wallis). The mean functionality scores during the
second year were 94,0; during the third year were 95,0, and of 87,0 at the fourth year or
more (Figure 11).

All of the patients reported feeling better after the procedure. None of the patients has
presented a clinical deterioration during follow up. No intra surgical complications were
presented. One patient presented a distal dehiscence of his wound, but this healed without
further intervention. One patient presente arthrofibrosis which required arthroscopy for
adherence removal, with later improvement. No cases of patellar dislocation were presented
at the follow up moment, and no infection or vascular complications were reported.

DISCUSSION
All of the patients reported an improvement in the VAS score, with a mean
improvement of 7 points. All of the patient manifested their satisfaction with the
functional result obtained with the procedure. The results obtained with the lysholm
score modified by 93,3% of the patients had excellent to good results. Comparing this
cohort with the current reports of the literature in which only a transverse osteotomy is
performed (Elmslie-Trillat-Maquet)(3,4) or only the oblique Fulkerson osteotomy is
performed without the use of bone graft (5,6) we observe an improvement in the
functional result. (Table 2).
Tabla 2. Funcitonal results reported by other authors.
The anteriorization, medialization and spongialization improves the biomechanical
environment of the patellofemoral joint, achieving a redistributions of the loads and
stabilizing the chondral damage. (18). This explains the subjective functional
improvement of the patients evaluated in this cohort.
20. 20
David A. Buuck and J Fulkerson(5) in their series of 42 knees with a mean follow up of
8,2 years reported 86% (36 knees) of excellent to good results with an oblique
osteotomy without the use of a bone graft. Carrillo and Parada(6) in their series of 32
knees with a mean follow up of 2 to 7 years performing a fulkerson osteotomy for
severe patellofemoral arthrosis and patellofemoral malalignment showed a 78% of good
results, 9% of mild results and 13% of poor results after applying the lysholm score
modified by fulkerson. Our study showed a 93,3% of excellent to good results
compared to their study.
We consider that the fulkerson osteotomy at 30 degrees plus the use of a tricortical
bone graft (maquet effect) and spongialization is a good alternative for the treatment of
severe patellofemoral arthrosis secondary to patellofemoral malalignment, it is a secure
option with a low rate of complications which gives the patients, mainly the younger
patients a great improvement in their pain and functionality. Nevertheless, it is
important to conduct prospective studies among the different surgical tecniques to
support these findings. Another future alternative is to combine these tecniques with
the use of implantation of autologus chondrocites for the regeneration of the native
cartilage.
An important aspect is the degree of inclincation of the osteotomy, which determines
the rate of medialization. If a 45 degrees osteotomy is performed and then the bone
graft is used, the medialization effect would be lost, for this reason, with the use of an
osteotomy at 30 degrees of inclination we could obtain the medialization effect while
optimizing the anteriorization effect with the use of a small bone graft.
The surgeon and the patient must know that this procedure is mainly indicated to give
more time for a severe damaged knee in which arthroplasty is not yet an option. The
patients and their families must comprehend the objectives of the procedure.
21. 21
One of the limitations of this study was that the lysholm score modified by fulkerson
was not evaluated in a periodic way, was applied in a variable time in the postoperative
period and was not used in the preoperative period.
