    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THIS REPORT IS BEING FILED AFTER THE REVIEW OF THE FOLLOWING JOURNAL ARTICLE: SMEJKAL, K., LOCHMAN, P., DEDEK, T. AND TRLICA, J. (2014), "SURGICAL TREATMENT OF HUMERAL DIAPHYSEAL FRACTURES," ACTA CHIRUGIAE ORTHOPAEDICAE ET TRAUMATOLOGIAE CECHOSLOVACA, VOL. 81, PAGES 129-134 (CZECH REPUBLIC). THE AIM OF THE STUDY WAS TO COMPARE TWO SURGICAL METHODS OF TREATING DIAPHYSEAL FRACTURES OF THE HUMERUS. BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 2009 TO JANUARY 2013, 49 PATIENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE STUDY. 2 PATIENTS DIED DURING THE STUDY AND 2 PATIENTS WERE LOST TO FOLLOW-UP. IN TOTAL, 45 PATIENTS (23 MALE AND 22 FEMALE) WITH A MEAN AGE OF 52 YEARS WERE EVALUATED. PATIENTS WERE DIVIDED INTO 2 GROUPS. THE FIRST GROUP INCLUDED PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT MINIMALLY INVASIVE PLATE OSTEOSYNTHESIS (MIPO) USING AN UNKNOWN SYNTHES ANGULARY STABLE LOCKING COMPRESSION PLATE. THE SECOND GROUP INCLUDED PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT INTRAMEDULLARY OSTEOSYNTHESIS USING AN UNKNOWN SYNTHES EXPERT HUMERAL NAIL (EHN). THE FOLLOW-UP DURATION WAS 2 YEARS ON AVERAGE. THE FOLLOWING COMPLICATIONS WERE REPORTED AS FOLLOWS: 2 PATIENTS DIED DURING THE STUDY. ONE OF THEM WAS A MAN WITH GENERALIZED CARCINOMA OF UNCLEAR ETIOLOGY AND ONE WOMAN. MIPO GROUP: 1 PATIENT HAD MALPOSITION WHEN HEALING. 2 PATIENTS, THE MOTION OF THE SHOULDER JOINT WAS IMPEDED BY THE PHILOS IMPLANT (ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH PROLONGED FRACTURE HEALING IN ONE CASE). 1 PATIENT HAD AN ALGODYSTROPHY SYNDROME DEVELOPED BUT THAT WAS DUE TO THE IPSILATERAL FRACTURE OF THE FOREARM. 1 PATIENT HAD NONUNION. 1 PATIENT HAD MALUNION. 1 PATIENT EXPERIENCED A FALSE JOINT WAS CREATED DUE TO THE INSUFFICIENT REDUCTION IN THE LONG OBLIQUE FRACTURE WHICH DEMANDED REPEATED SURGERY BY ORIF TECHNIQUE. EHN GROUP: 3 PATIENTS HAD A SUBACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME, WHICH WAS ONLY ASSOCIATED ONCE WITH THE NAIL PROMINENCE PROXIMALLY. THE CONDITION WAS RESOLVED BY EARLY REMOVAL OF THE OSTEOSYNTHETIC MATERIAL AFTER THE FRACTURE HEALED. 1 PATIENT HAD IATROGENIC RADIAL NERVE PALSY, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY NERVE DRAGGING DURING FRACTURE REDUCTION AND WHICH WAS MANAGED CONSERVATIVELY - BY REHABILITATION AND VITAMIN THERAPY. 1 PATIENT HAD A FALSE JOINT DEVELOPED THAT WAS CLINICALLY SILENT AND DID NOT REQUIRE SURGICAL INTERVENTION. THIS REPORT IS FOR AN UNKNOWN SYNTHES ANGULARY STABLE LOCKING COMPRESSION PLATE AND AN UNKNOWN SYNTHES EXPERT HUMERAL NAIL. 1 PATIENT HAD ONE OF THE PROXIMAL LOCKING SCREWS MIGRATED, WHICH WE SUBSEQUENTLY EXTRACTED. THIS REPORT IS FOR UNKNOWN NAIL. IT CAPTURES SUBACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME, IATROGENIC RADIAL NERVE PALSY, FALSE JOINT DEVELOPEMENT. THIS IS REPORT 2 OF 5 FOR (B)(4).
