We report a case of anterior compartment syndrome in the ipsilateral leg after a revision total hip arthroplasty. Possible causes include post-ischaemic swelling after occlusion of the vessels during prolonged surgery and vigorous repetitive stretching of the muscles of the anterior compartment from the intraoperative use of electrical calf stimulators. Epidural infusions for postoperative analgesia may mask symptoms, but when there is clinical suspicion, we recommend measurement of the compartment pressures and early fasciotomy. 相似文献

A 72-year-old man developed chronic sensory neuropathy (CSN) during chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection. Neurological symptoms began one year after acute HCV hepatitis and slowly worsened over three years. No conventional cause for CSN was found. Circulating antinervous tissue antibodies (including anti-Hu) and inflammatory infiltrates in sural nerve biopsy specimens were absent. However, the presence of anti-HCV antibody and HCV-RNA in cerebrospinal fluid indicated that HCV had reached the intrathecal compartment, suggesting the direct viral involvement in the pathogenesis of CSN. 相似文献

Cholesterol emboli are a known complication after arterial catheterization, arterial surgery, and after lysis with plasminogen activators. The clinical presentation of cholesterol emboli is variable ranging from a localized blue toe syndrome to a multisystem disease. The purpose of this case report is to report on a patient with blue toe syndrome and livedo reticularis occuring two months after initiation of low-dose oral anticoagulation with phenproucomon. The non-invasive studies revealed an infrarenal abdominal aneurysma lined by a thin wall thrombus as a potential source of cholesterol emboli. The patient had a benign course with resolution of toe pain after a period of four weeks, without development of an ulceration. The case report demonstrates that cholesterol emboli may also occur in patients treated with low-dose oral anticoagulation and no previous arterial catheterization. 相似文献

We report on three arterial thromboses of the external iliac artery following total hip replacement. As a result of implanted cement/spongiosa or protrusion of the acetabular component, the iliac vessels were compressed. Furthermore, we report about one intraoperative arterial vessel lesion in a 65-year-old patient during a revision operation. We recommend that in case of acute ischemic syndromes of lower limbs following total hip replacement, an angiography should be performed in order to exclude an extravascular cause of thrombosis. For therapy in those cases extra-anatomic bypasses should be preferred to thrombectomies. 相似文献

Variations in length ratios of both radius and ulna directly influence the profiles of the distal radioulnar joint. During pronation and supination, joint surface incongruity of the two forearm bones permits rotational and translational movements. The ulnocarpal discuss is the central part of the ulnocarpal complex. Together with radioulnar and ulnocarpal ligaments, the ulnocarpal meniscus, the tendon sheath of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle, the ulnar collateral ligament, and accessory fiber strands the complex guides movements such as pronation and supination and stabilizes the proximal and distal carpal joint. 相似文献

Trauma-induced compartment syndrome and other acute traumatic peripheral ischemias have been effectively treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We describe a case of compartment syndrome associated with an acute exertional injury. After surgical decompression, hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduced edema and improved tissue viability. The mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen applicable to the pathophysiology of compartment syndrome are described. We believe that hyperbaric oxygen is a useful intervention in the management of compartment syndrome. 相似文献

Total replacement of the elbow joint has been performed on 86 elbows at the Mayo Clinic, all but 15 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The Mayo design, which replaces both radiohumeral and humeroulnar joints, was used in 41 elbows, almost all in rheumatoid patients, with 71% good results. The Coonrad hinge with polyethylene bushings was used in 34 elbows; it was successful in 64% of rheumatoid patients, but failed in 46% of posttraumatic patients with bone loss. Previous designs have failed because of humeral loosening. Total elbow replacement is a technique still to be perfected in medical centers before general release. 相似文献

Exertional compartment syndrome is characterized by intracompartmental pressures that rise transiently following repetitive motion or exercise, thereby producing temporary, reversible ischemia, pain, weakness, and, occasionally, neurologic deficits. The exact cause or pathogenesis remains unclear; a disturbance of microvascular flow caused by elevated intramuscular pressure leads to tissue ischemia, depletion of high-energy phosphate stores, and cellular acidosis. Anatomic contributing factors may include a limited compartment size, increased intracompartmental volume, constricted fascia, loss of compartment elasticity, poor venous return, or increased muscle bulk. The diagnosis is suspected based on history and confirmed with physical examination and intramuscular pressure evaluation before and after exercise (stress test). Differential diagnosis includes claudication or other vascular abnormalities, myositis, tendinitis, periostitis, chronic strains or sprains, stress fracture, other compression or systemic neuropathies, and cardiac abnormalities with angina or referred extremity pain. Initial treatment includes activity modification; refractory symptoms can be managed with elective fasciotomy. 相似文献

This study documents prospectively the Knee Society knee- and function score of 28 patients with rheumatoid arthritis with 34 PFC unconstrained total knee arthroplasties from preoperative values on at yearly intervals. The average follow-up period was 3.4 years (range 2-5.5 y). At last follow-up over 80% of the knees were painfree. All but one patient could walk more than 500 m. Knee and function score increased significantly from 30.1 resp. 35.0 to 83.8 resp. 74.6 (P < 0.000001). Postoperatively the knee score rose soon to a constant level whereas the function score showed a continuous slow increase up to 5 years. We observed one deep venous thrombosis and one subluxation. At an intermediate follow-up rheumatoid knees are clinically and functionally successfully operated on using an unconstrained TKA. Pain relief is excellent. We recommend the use of a scoring system assessing knee and functional results separately. 相似文献

Prospective data on 202 consecutive patients who had a total of 123 total hip and ninety-four total knee arthroplasties were collected from two university medical centers. The findings of routine surveillance for deep venous thrombosis performed with ascending contrast venography were compared with those of surveillance with duplex ultrasonography complemented with color-flow Doppler imaging. All of the studies were performed between the third and seventh postoperative days. Of the 202 patients (342 extremities) who were examined, fifty-five (27 per cent) were found to have deep venous thrombosis; fifty-two (95 per cent) of the thrombi were in the calf and three (5 per cent) were in the proximal veins. All of the thrombi were clinically asymptomatic and all were nonocclusive, allowing passage of contrast medium around an intraluminal filling defect. Duplex ultrasonography with color-flow Doppler imaging correctly identified two of the three proximal thrombi and five of the fifty-two thrombi in the calf (sensitivity, 10 per cent). The sensitivity for the detection of thrombi in the calf was zero of sixteen at one of the institutions involved in the study and 14 per cent (five of thirty-six) at the other. There were two false-positive findings on ultrasonographic examination; one involved a proximal thrombus and one, a distal thrombus. We believe that the interinstitutional variability and insensitivity of duplex ultrasonography with color-flow Doppler imaging for the detection of asymptomatic deep venous thrombi in the calf after total joint replacement make it unreliable as a routine surveillance tool after total hip or knee arthroplasty. 相似文献

Multiple causes, including various types of trauma, prolonged compression, muscle avulsions, burn, snake bites, high-pressure injection injuries, exercise, infection, bleeding, and intravenous drug infiltration, have been reported to lead to the development of a compartment syndrome in the upper extremity. Awareness of the different causes and risks of compartment syndrome should facilitate early diagnosis and prompt treatment to help avoid the development of serious sequelae such as Volkmann's ischemic contracture. A review of the various reports of upper extremity compartment syndromes and classification systems is presented to assist in the understanding of this condition's development. 相似文献

Cerebral hemorrhagic infarction visualized on CT, secondary to embolic stroke in an anticoagulated individual, is usually associated with clinically stable or improving neurologic signs; fear of transforming the hemorrhagic infarction into a hematoma, however, usually prompts cessation of anticoagulation until the blood has cleared on CT, despite the recognized risk of recurrent embolism during this non-anticoagulated period. We now report our experience with 12 patients with hemorrhagic infarction who remained anticoagulated. Eleven men and one woman, ages 33 to 77, developed hemorrhagic infarction while on heparin, warfarin, or both, for prevention of recurrent embolism. Patients were either continued on uninterrupted anticoagulation from stroke onset (n = 6), or anticoagulation was withheld for several days and then resumed (n = 4), or it was withheld for 5 and 14 days (n = 2) after stroke onset and then continued uninterrupted despite the CT appearance of hemorrhagic infarction. Eleven patients had a definite cardioembolic source for stroke (atrial fibrillation, seven; ventricular thrombus, two; and ventricular dyskinesia, two). One patient had carotid occlusion with local intra-arterial embolism. Hemorrhagic infarcts varied in size and were located in the middle cerebral artery territory in 11 patients and posterior cerebral artery territory in one. All patients remained clinically stable or improved on anticoagulation. Serial CTs showed fading hemorrhagic areas. When the risk of recurrent embolism is high, anticoagulation may be safely used in some patients with hemorrhagic infarction. 相似文献

This prospective study involves 644 patients who received ossification prophylaxis by means of the drug diclofenac after implantation (87.5%) or revision (12.5%) of a total hip endoprosthesis between August 1992 and June 1994. One hundred patients (15.5%) stopped the treatment because of side-effects of the drug, and medication was stopped when gastrointestinal troubles occurred. The follow-up examination after 6 months revealed ossification of HO degree 1 according to Brooker in 13.8% of cases, of degree 2 in 4.8%, and of degree 3 in 1.4% of cases. Severe HO of degree 4 was not observed at all, and 80% of the patients exhibited no ossification what ever. Thus, in comparison to our own studies and to the literature, diclofenac must be regarded as an extremely effective drug for the prevention of ossification. 相似文献
