    Abstract The treatment of the extremely uncommon avascular necrosis of the capitate with a medial femoral condyle corticocancellous free flap has been described previously by one group reporting on outcomes in a paediatric patient. However, no literature to-date has detailed results of this procedure in an adult. We illustrate the case of a 53-year-old man who sustained capitate avascular necrosis and tendon rupture of traumatic aetiology. He was managed by resection of the necrotic segment, followed by inset of the medial femoral condyle free flap with the novel applications of indocyanine green to ensure adequate perfusion and intramedullary cannulated screw fixation of the capitate. Tendon transfer was also performed in the same operative sitting. At 9 months postoperatively, the patient displayed full range of motion of the wrist without any pain, and the imaging demonstrated union. This microsurgical approach may be performed in adult patients with favourable postoperative outcomes.

    Abstract Objective: This study assesses the efficacy of distal periarterial sympathectomy in treating chronic digital ischemia by evaluating clinical outcomes of surgery.
    Methods: A systematic literature review of distal sympathectomy for chronic digital ischemia was conducted. Data extracted included study design, patient statistics, aetiology, follow-up duration, sympathectomy level, and surgical outcomes.
    Results: 21 studies were analysed, containing a total of 337 patients, 324 hands, and 398 digits. Patient age ranged from 23.2 to 56.6 years. Causes of ischemia included Scleroderma, Raynaud's disease, atherosclerosis/Buerger's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus/discoid lupus, undifferentiated rheumatic disorder/mixed connective tissue disease, CREST syndrome, trauma and unknown diagnoses. Common digital artery sympathectomy was mostly performed. Follow-up spanned 12-120 months.
    Outcomes: Distal sympathectomy led to reduced pain in 94.7 % patients. Complete resolution of ulceration was seen in 73 % patients. Subsequent amputation was required in 28 % patients. Other complications were reported in 24.1 % patients.
    Conclusions: This study indicates that distal periarterial sympathectomy may effectively treat chronic digital ischemia, offering pain relief and resolution of digital ulceration. However, risks of complications and amputation persist. Further research is required to inform patient selection and establish the optimal technique and extent of distal sympathectomy surgery, before it can be considered a valid treatment option.

    Abstract An unusual Salter-Harris Type 1 fracture variant of the distal phalanx of the index finger is described. The epiphysis was dislocated, sitting dorsally over the middle phalanx head with the articular surface facing dorsal. Reduction could only be achieved through an open procedure. The reduction was stable without supplemental fixation.

    Abstract Introduction: Patients suffering ankle fractures provide a common economic and time burden to modern healthcare in the UK. They continue to be admitted to await operative intervention and may have to wait days before an operation occurs. Unnecessary bed stay is one are that may be subject to cost savings if the safety of the patient is maintained.
    Patient and methods: We prospectively collected data on 23 patients over a four-month period identifying their admission status, length of stay, and time to operative intervention. We were able to cost analyse the patients journey from admission to discharge, postoperative intervention. We then instilled the Ankle Home Stay Programme, identifying patients safe to be discharged who were able to re-attend for their operation. Seventeen patients were enrolled in this and a subsequent cost-analysis was compared to the pre-intervention cohort.
    Results: Pre Ankle Home Stay Programme demonstrated cost per patient of admitted patients to be £2690 and £1347 for patients managed in the outpatient setting. Implementation of the pathway maintained this cost saving with those in the outpatient setting costing £1781 per patient and those admitted costing £2855.
    Conclusions: Patients can be safely managed in the outpatient setting, with regular clinic review before formal operative intervention as opposed to blanket admission to an acute inpatient bed. This is cost saving in a healthcare system with finite resources focussed on improving use of economic resources. It also maintains patient care with select admission criteria onto the pathway and regular review to ensure standards are maintained.

    Abstract Specific force (SF) has been shown to be reduced in some but not all studies of human aging using chemically skinned single muscle fibers. This may be due, in part, not only to the health status/physical activity levels of different older cohorts, but also from methodological differences in studying skinned fibers. The aim of the present study was to compare SF in fibers from older hip fracture patients (HFP), healthy master cyclists (MC), and healthy nontrained young adults (YA) using two different activating solutions. Quadriceps muscle samples and 316 fibers were obtained from HFPs (74.6 ± 4 years,

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the impact on practice of vena cava filter insertion guidelines (Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma: practice management guidelines).
    Design: The study was performed at a level 1 trauma centre with data from the 'Trauma Audit and Research Network' cross-referenced to hospital data.
    Results: A total of 1138 specific 'high-risk' major trauma patients were identified over a 6-year period. The mean age was 46 years (18-102) and the male to female ratio was 3.3:1. The average Injury Severity Score was 23.6 (4-75). The overall DVT rate was 2.6% and the PE rate was 1.8%. A retrievable IVC filter was inserted in 42 cases (3.8%). The filter retrieval rate was 23.8% at a mean of 68.5days (4-107). Only one complication was reported of a breakthrough PE despite filter. Applying the EAST guidelines to this cohort would have suggested filter insertion in 279 (24.6%) cases. The kappa concordance value between observed practice and the 'EAST filter group' was 0.103 (poor). The PE rate in the 'EAST filter group' was 2.2% vs 1.6% in the 'no filter group' (p=0.601, no statistical difference) and the observed odds ratio was 0.814 (95% CI 0.413, 1.602).
    Conclusion: The EAST guidelines are useful but may be overestimating the need for filter insertion.

    Abstract Purpose: This study assesses whether sterile surgical helmet systems (SSHS) provide surgeons with additional protection from aerosol pathogens alongside their traditional role protecting against splash. There has been debate on whether to use such systems in reopening elective orthopaedic surgery during the current COVID-19 pandemic environment.
    Methods: Thirty-five participants were enrolled in a double-blinded randomised controlled study investigating efficacy of the Stryker Flyte Surgical Helmet (Stryker Corporation, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) as protection against respiratory droplets. Wearing the SSHS in a fit testing hood, subjects were randomised to nebulised saccharin solution or placebo. Twenty were allocated to the saccharin group with 15 to placebo. Positive sweet taste represented a failure of the test. Taste tests were performed with the helmet fan turned on and off.
    Results: SSHS did not prevent saccharin taste (p < 0.0001). Within the saccharin cohort, 40% recorded a positive taste with the fan on and 100% with the fan off. There was a statistically significant difference in mean time-to-taste saccharin (p = 0.049) comparing fan on (123.5 s) vs. off (62.6 s).
    Conclusions: SSHS do not protect against aerosol particulate and therefore are not efficacious in protection against COVID-19. The fan system employed may even increase risk to the surgeon by drawing in particulates as well as delay recognition of intraoperative cues, such as exhaust from diathermy, that point to respirator mask leak.
