... (7) Radiological assessment was done using the following: (a) Panorama x-ray: it was performed in closed mouth position. Erosions in condyles on the radiographs were scored as follows [28]: score 1, very slight erosion; score 2, erosion on top of the condyle; score 3, half of the condyle is eroded; and score 4, the condyle is totally eroded. ...
Background
The incidence of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement in inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, is often underestimated. Noninvasive imaging modalities such as musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) are used to evaluate the TMJ.
Aim
This study was conducted to determine the affection of TMJ in some rheumatological diseases using MSUS.
Patients and methods
The study included 50 participants divided into two groups: group I included 40 patients (80 TMJ joints) with four rheumatological diseases, and group II included 10 apparently healthy persons (20 TMJ joints) matched in age and sex with the patients, chosen as a control group. All patients were diagnosed clinically and through laboratory investigations. Thereafter, they were assessed for pain degree by visual analog scale (VAS); disease activity using disease activity score-28, systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index; functionally using Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire, and Fonseca questionnaire; and underwent imaging assessment using panoramic radiography and musculoskeletal ultrasonography.
Results
Erosions were detected in 12.5% of the examined TMJs by panoramic radiography, whereas they were detected in 32.5% by MSUS. TMJ effusion and disc displacement could not be detected by panoramic radiography, whereas effusion was detected by MSUS in 23.8% of the examined TMJs and disc displacement was detected in 27.5%.
Conclusion
MSUS is more sensitive in detection of TMJ affection than panorama x-ray. Radiographic pathological findings by MSUS and panorama x-rays were more in temporomandibular joint disorders of patients with rheumatoid arthritis followed by systemic lupus erythematosus and then osteoarthritis, and finally, psoriatic arthritis.
Background:
Tibial spine avulsion fractures (TSAFs) account for approximately 14% of anterior cruciate ligament injuries. This study aims to systematically review the current evidence for the operative management of paediatric TSAFs.
Methods:
A search was carried out across four databases: MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Studies discussing the outcomes of the surgical management of paediatric TSAFs since 2000 were included.
Results:
Of 38 studies included for review, 13 studies reported outcomes of TSAF patients undergoing screw fixation only, and 12 studies used suture fixation only. In total, 976 patients underwent arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation (ARIF), and 203 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). The risk of arthrofibrosis with the use of ARIF (p = 0.45) and screws (p = 0.74) for TSAF repair was not significant. There was a significantly increased risk of knee instability (p < 0.0001), reoperation (p = 0.01), and post-operative pain (p = 0.007) with screw fixation compared to sutures.
Conclusions:
While the overall benefits of sutures over screws and ARIF over ORIF are unclear, there is clear preference for ARIF and suture fixation for TSAF repair in practice. We recommend large-scale comparative studies to delineate long-term outcomes for various TSAF fixation techniques.
