    Abstract Numerous interference screws of different compositions exist including titanium screws, bioabsorbable screws, and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) screws. PEEK-based implants are frequently used in orthopaedic surgery due to their biocompatibility, similar elastic modulus to cortical bone, and purported negligible risk of osteolysis compared with bioabsorbable screws. In this case report, we present the case of a 48-year-old healthy female who experienced a massive osteolytic reaction in the talus and fibula after 11 weeks following implantation of PEEK-based interference screws during lateral ankle ligament reconstruction. The patient subsequently underwent removal of the PEEK screws and specimens were sent for microbiological and histopathological analysis. The specimens report demonstrated fibrotic tenosynovial soft tissue with patchy chronic inflammation, oedematous reactive changes, and histiocytic reaction, with no evidence of any significant acute inflammation. The patient recovered well and was asymptomatic at 6 months postoperatively. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a massive osteolytic reaction to PEEK-based interference screws.

    Abstract Purpose: Currently, we have limited knowledge of any potential differences among patients with functional seizures (FS), otherwise known as psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES), from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Investigating medication use among these patients may provide insight into the quality and intensity of medical care they receive. Thus, we aimed to assess and compare the frequency and quantity of antiseizure medications (ASMs), and psychiatric and other medications used among patients with FS from a private and public epilepsy monitoring units (EMUs) in Cape Town, South Africa.
    Methods: Only video-electroencephalographically (video-EEG) confirmed patients with FS with no comorbid epilepsy were eligible for the study. For this retrospective case-control study we collected data on patients' medication-taking histories using digital patient records, starting with the earliest available digital patient record for each hospital.
    Results: A total of 305 patients from a private hospital and 67 patients from a public hospital were included in the study (N = 372). Patients with FS attending the public hospital had lower odds of taking any ASMs at presentation (aOR=0.39, 95% CI [0.20, 0.75]) and ever taking psychiatric medications (aOR=0.41, 95% CI [0.22, 0.78]) compared to FS patients from the private hospital. They did, however, have higher odds of being discharged with an ASM (aOR=6.60, 95% CI [3.27, 13.35]) and ever taking cardiovascular medication (aOR=2.69, 95% CI [1.22, 5.90]) when compared to the private hospital patients. With every additional presenting ASM (aOR=0.63, 95% CI [0.45, 0.89]) and psychiatric medication (aOR=0.58, 95% CI [0.40, 0.84]) the odds of being from the public hospital decreased. However, they increased with every additional discharge ASM (aOR=3.63, 95% CI [2.30, 5.72]) and cardiovascular medication (aOR=1.26, 95% CI [1.02, 1.55]).
    Conclusion: Standard approaches to pharmacological treatment for patients with FS differed between the public and private hospitals and may indicate a gap in quality of care.

    Abstract The gold standard diagnostic imaging tool for ankle OCLs is magnetic resonance imaging, which allows precise evaluation of the articular cartilage and assessment of the surrounding soft tissue structures. Post-operative morphologic MRI assessment via MOCART scores provide semi-quantitative analysis of the repair tissue, but mixed evidence exists regarding its association with post-operative outcomes. Post-operative biochemical MRIs allow assessment of the collagen network of the articular cartilage via T2-mapping and T2∗ mapping, and assessment of the articular glycosaminoglycan content via delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC), T1rho mapping and sodium imaging.

    Abstract Purpose: To date not much is known about the differences, if any, between patients with functional seizures (FS) from different socioeconomic backgrounds. We sought to compare the psychological stress and trauma profiles of patients with FS from a private and public hospital in Cape Town, South Africa.
    Methods: Only video-electroencephalography-confirmed patients with FS were eligible for the study. In this retrospective case-control study we collected data on self-reported demographic and psychological stressor/trauma variables using digital patient records starting with the earliest available digital patient record for each hospital.
    Results: A total of 321 patients from a private hospital and 68 patients from a public hospital were included in the study. Most factors showed no significant differences. However, public hospital patients had higher odds of being older (p = 0.002), almost nine times the odds of reporting physical violence by an intimate partner (aOR = 8.65, 95% CI [1.70, 44.08]), more than eight times the odds of reporting psychological stress in the form of death and/or sickness in the family (aOR = 8.56, 95% CI [1.81, 40.41]) and almost three times the odds for other general psychosocial stressors (aOR = 2.82, 95% CI [1.08, 7.42]) compared to those attending the private hospital. They also had half the odds of being female compared to the private hospital patients (aOR = 0.47, 95% CI [0.23, 0.95]) and 93% fewer odds of reporting coming from an abusive home (aOR = 0.07, 95% CI [0.01, 0.52]).
    Conclusion: History and psychological trauma and stressor profiles showed many similarities between the public and private hospital groups; however, some differences were noted and could benefit further exploration and consideration in therapeutic and diagnostic contexts.

    Abstract Despite having adequate solubility properties, bioequivalence (BE) studies performed on immediate release formulations containing BCS1/3 drugs occasionally fail. By systematically evaluating a set of 17 soluble drugs where unexpected BE failures have been reported and comparing to a set of 29 drugs where no such reports have been documented, a broad assessment of the risk factors leading to BE failure was performed. BE failures for BCS1/3 drugs were predominantly related to changes in C

    Abstract Background: Patients with diabetes undergoing total ankle arthroplasty tend to be at greater risk for complications than those without diabetes. However, the effect of diabetes severity and how it impacts the risk for perioperative complications is less clear. The purpose of this study was to compare (1) complications, (2) length of hospital stay, and (3) readmissions within 30 days for total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) patients without diabetes, patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes, and patients with insulin-dependent diabetes.
    Methods: Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database, a total of 1803 patients undergoing TAA between 2007 and 2019 were collected. The relationship between diabetes status (no diabetes [n = 1,589], insulin-dependent [n = 169], and non-insulin-dependent [n = 45]) and outcomes were compared. Multivariate linear regression models were used to adjust for confounding variables such as age, sex, race, body mass index, smoking, steroid use, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, anesthesia type, dyspnea, and outpatient status. Statistical significance was set at
    Results: Insulin-dependent diabetes was an independent risk factor for increased odds of infection within 30 days (odds ratio 6.47, 95% CI 0.79-33.66;
    Conclusion: Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes included in this cohort were at increased risk of having an infection within 30 days after TAA. Additionally, patients with diabetes status had an increased hospital length of stay. These results can inform patients on their potential outcomes after total ankle arthroplasty based on their diabetes status.
    Level of evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.
