Abstract

Background: The inability of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery to reduce tibial internal rotation causes many problems. A large tibial internal rotation will result in a patellofemoral pain syndrome. This study aimed to introduce a new technique of modified exorotation graft tension at tibial fixation to minimize endorotation, reduce tibial internal rotation, and prevent patellofemoral pain syndrome.Methods: This study was a randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial. ACL rupture patients underwent ACLR surgery between December 2014 and Februrary 2015. They were randomized to standard endorotation group or modified exorotation group. Hamstring autograft was used and fixed with an EndoButton® and bioabsorbable interference screw. Tibial tubercle to trochlear grove (TTTG) was used to evaluate rotation, whereas cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) was employed to analyze cartilage breakdown. The functional outcome was measured using the Kujala score to assess patellofemoral joint function. Evaluations were conducted before the surgery and at 6 months postoperation.Results: A total of 29 subjects were recruited. Sixteen subjects were allocated into the standard endorotation group, and 13 were assigned to the modified exorotation group. The exorotation group demonstrated better results than the endorotation group in all three parameters: TTTG (p=0.028), COMP (p<0.001), and Kujala score (p=0.015).Conclusion: A new technique of modified exorotation direction of graft tension for ACL reconstructive surgery at tibial fixation showed a significant reduction in tibial internal rotation and cartilage breakdown. The proposed method could significantly improve the functional outcome of those with total ACL rupture.

Abstract

Background: Intra-articular injection is a common therapeutic procedure in osteoarthritis (OA) that need high accuracy. This study was aimed to measure the distance between parapatellar skin and intra-articular space as a guidance to choose the length of needle needed to perform intra-articular injection. Methods: Twenty one knees MRI were taken from 16 females with knee osteoarthritis. The length of the needle needed to reach intra-articular space was reconstructed by drawing straight line from skin to intra-articular fluid. Paired t-test was using to analyze the mean difference of measurement of left side compare with right side with significant indicator if p-value < 0.05. Results: The entry point on both medial and lateral parapatellar were more cranial than transverse mid-patellar line. On medial portal, the closest distance from skin to intra-articular space is 27.81 ± 7.58 mm. Mean point of entry is 4.46 ± 2.16 mm cranial to mid-patellar line, and 14.20 ± 4.45 mm posterior to the prominence of medial border of patella. On lateral portal, the closest distance from skin to intra-articular space is 16.84 ± 6.79 mm. Mean point of entry is 11.10 ± 5.94 mm cranial to mid-patellar line, and 8.91 ± 3.83 mm posterior to the prominence of lateral border of patella. Conclusion: MRI knee osteoarthritis study showed that the mean distance between skin and intra-articular joint space of medial portal is 27.81 ± 7.58 mm, and lateral portal is 16.84 ± 6.79 mm. The portals on both sides is cranial to midpoint of patella, lateral appears more proximal than medial. This should be put into consideration in choosing needle length and portal projection to increase intra-articular injection accuracy.

Abstract

Exosomes from Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) is currently one of the highlighted research due to its more specific action on the target tissue. Exosome is one of the MSC Extracellular Vesicle (EVs) that acts as a mediator in the cellular communication. However, not so many literatures have succeed in elaborating its isolation and characterization process. This study aimed to explain the method used in exosomes isolation from Adipose-Derived MSC (ASC) and elaborate its characteristics. This is an in-vitro study performed in the Stem Cell and Tissue Engineering (SCTE) Indonesia Medical Education and Research Institute (IMERI) laboratory. Ultracentrifugation method was performed to isolate exosome from ASC. The exosome were characterized based on its particle size, morphology, and CD63 and CD81 expression for its purity. We were able to isolate sterile exosome from ASC by performing differential ultracentrifugation. The mean size of exosome was 88.7 nm ± 40 nm SD and showed expression of CD63 and CD81. Exosome was successfully isolated from ASC using ultracentrifugation method and characterization following the MISEV standard should be implemented in order to meet the therapeutic efficacy and safety issues as a regenerative agent.

Abstract

Introduction: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication especially following arthroplasty surgeries. The outcome of these cases is affected by the pattern of infection, causative microorganism, and antibiotic resistance. This study was aimed to evaluate the prevalence of PJI, distribution of causative microorganism, antibiotic resistance, and risk factor profiling.Methods: A retrospective review was performed by arthroplasty registry evaluation from 2008-2018, followed by a medical record review and patient interview. Distribution of causative microorganisms, antibiotic resistance patterns, and the onset of infection was extracted. Risk factor evaluation was performed by assessing preoperative (age, body mass index (BMI), frailty index) and perioperative parameters (duration of surgery, number of previous surgeries, the interval between those surgeries). Results: Seventeen patients were diagnosed with PJI (13 hip and 4 knees), with a prevalence of 1.56% and 1.77% respectively. The most common causative organism was Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with multiple antibiotic resistance patterns. These infections mostly occurred in patients with the age of 40-60 years, BMI 30kg/m2, and pre-operative frailty index of 4. The perioperative risk factor was the duration of surgery for more than 3 hours, have undergone more than 3 surgeries with an average surgical interval of 2 months.Conclusions: The prevalence of PJI in this series was 1.56% in hip and 1.77% in the knee. The risk factor profile showed that most cases have high BMI, prolonged duration of surgery, and a high number of previous surgeries within a short interval.
