Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, entitled “Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery: Clinical Research and Case Reports”, aims to provide an opportunity in order to explore and learn more about the latest developments in the field of orthopedic and trauma surgery, providing a comprehensive perspective on clinical research.

We will examine challenges, trends, and strategies in order to aid in the prevention and management of healthcare malpractice, promoting ethical and responsible orthopedic practice. In addition, we will devote a specific section to case reports in an effort to provide a valuable opportunity to learn from real-world situations and discuss treatment strategies employed, challenges faced, and results achieved. Orthopedic and trauma surgery is an evolving medical discipline due to the new techniques, approaches, and technologies constantly being developed to improve patient outcomes. We want to stimulate discussion, promote innovation, and foster the dissemination of best practices in the field of orthopedic and trauma surgery. We will invite experts in order to contribute to this Special Issue with their high-quality articles, sharing clinical experiences through case reports. Each article will undergo rigorous scientific review to ensure its validity and quality. We believe that this project will be a valuable resource for all those who are involved in various capacities in the diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic-traumatologic disorders, stimulating discussion, promoting innovation and fostering the dissemination of knowledge in these crucial areas. Together we can promote a better understanding of the issue and advance clinical practice in the field of orthopedic and trauma surgery by creating a relevant and valuable Special Issue.

The treatment of osteochondritis dissecans of the knee has always been a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. We present a case report of a 38-year-old male with severe right knee pain after suffering from an indirect trauma and axial rotation of the knee, limiting knee functionality and impeding his ability to walk, with a diagnosis of osteochondritis dissecans in the trochlea of the knee, who underwent arthroscopic treatment with matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI). After the surgery, a physical therapy protocol for MACI was implemented, and magnetic resonance images with cartilage mapping were used to evaluate the recovery of the lesion. A total recovery was observed and evaluated with the modified Cincinnati knee rating system (mCKRS). A discussion is provided with evidence and general recommendations for the use of MACI in the treatment of adult OCD of the knee as a possible alternative to conventional treatments. Our case shows a rapid improvement in pain and functionality 2 months after surgery that progressed to full recovery within 6 months. Full article

Tibial Periprosthetic fractures (PPF) after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are uncommon and mainly occur after trauma. Various management options have been proposed; however, the decision mainly relies on the location of the fracture and the tibial baseplate stability and ranges between conservative (non-operative), fracture fixation, and revision TKA. We report a case of a 79-year-old female patient who presented with atraumatic lateral tibial plateau PPF (Felix type ⅠB) with a loose tibial implant after three weeks of having left primary TKA. The patient was treated successfully by revising the tibial component using a stemmed tibial baseplate and reconstructing the tibial bone defect using two metal wedges. The radiological, functional, and PROM outcomes were satisfactory and accepted both early on (eight weeks) and at the last follow-up (six months). Atraumatic insufficiency Felix type ⅠB PPF of the lateral tibial plateau after primary TKA is uncommon. Reconstructing the tibial bone defect, revising the tibial component, and adding a stem to offload the tibial plateau are the treatments of choice that lead to acceptable outcomes. Full article
