    Abstract Case: A 79-year-old man 6 days status-post left total knee arthroplasty (TKA) presented to our institution from an outside hospital (OSH) after a suspected STEMI and ventricular fibrillation arrest. At the OSH, intraosseous (IO) access was placed in his right tibia. Orthopaedics was consulted for compartment syndrome at the IO access site. X-rays demonstrated this was secondary to the IO access abutting the cement mantle of a stemmed tibial component of a remote TKA, for which the patient required emergent fasciotomies.
    Conclusions: Healthcare providers should be cognizant of potential orthopaedic hardware that can impede proper introduction of IO access.

    Abstract Introduction: Bone defects may be managed with bone transport or acute shortening and lengthening using circular external fixation devices. We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study to compare the outcomes between the Ilizarov frames and hexapod frames for the management of bone defects.
    Methods: Patients treated for bone defects using either Ilizarov or hexapod frames were included for analysis in two specialist institutions. Primary outcomes were time to consolidation, bone healing index (BHI), and external fixator index (EFI). Radiographic parameters included the medial proximal tibial angle, lateral distal tibial angle, posterior proximal tibial angle, and anterior distal tibial angle.
    Results: There were 137 hexapods and 90 Ilizarov frames in total. The mean time to follow-up was 3.7 years in the hexapod group and 4.0 years in the Ilizarov group. Hexapods had a significantly lower time to consolidation (253 days versus 449 days) (P < 0.0001) and BHI (59.1 days/cm versus 87.5 days/cm) (P < 0.0001). Hexapods had a significantly better EFI (72.3 days/cm versus 96.1 days/cm) (P = 0.0009).
    Conclusion: Hexapods may confer a significant advantage over Ilizarov frames in the management of bone defects. Time to consolidation, radiographic parameters, BHI, and EFI are all superior in hexapods.

    Abstract Introduction: Management of displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures continues to challenge surgeons. Use of the extensile lateral surgical approach (ELA) had been standard practice however wound necrosis and infection have become deterrents. The sinus tarsi approach (STA) has gained popularity as a less invasive technique to optimize articular reduction while minimizing soft tissue injury. Our aim was to compare wound complications and infections following calcaneus fractures treated using ELA versus STA.
    Methods: Retrospective review of 139 displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures (AO/OTA 82C; Sanders II-IV injuries) treated operatively at 2 level-I trauma centers using STA (n = 84) or ELA (n = 55) over a 3-year period with minimum 1-year follow up was performed. Demographic, injury, and treatment-related characteristics were collected. Primary outcomes of interest included wound complications, infection, reoperation, and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle and hindfoot scores. Univariate comparisons between groups were conducted using Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney, and independent sample t-tests at the p < 0.05 significance level, where appropriate. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for poor outcomes.
    Results: Demographic characteristics were homogenous between cohorts. Most sustained falls from height (77%). Sanders III fractures were most common (42%). Patients treated with STA went to surgery earlier (6.0 days STA vs 13.2 ELA, p < 0.001). No differences were seen in restoration of Bohler's angle, varus/valgus angle, or calcaneal height, yet the ELA significantly improved calcaneal width (-2 mm STA vs -13.3 mm ELA, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in wound necrosis or deep infection based on surgical approach (12% STA vs 22% ELA, p = 0.15). Seven patients underwent subtalar arthrodesis for arthrosis (4% STA vs 7% ELA). No differences in AOFAS scores were seen. Risk factors for reoperation included Sanders type IV patterns (OR = 6.6, p = 0.001), increasing BMI (OR = 1.2, p = 0.021), and advanced age (OR = 1.1, p = 0.005), not surgical approach.
    Conclusion: Despite prior concerns, use of ELA versus STA for fixation of displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures was not associated with more complication risk, illustrating both are safe when indicated and executed appropriately.

    Abstract Skull base osteomyelitis is a life-threatening condition that sometimes arises as a sequela of otitis media and mastoiditis. We present a retrospective analysis of the clinical course of 3 patients with skull base osteomyelitis that originated in the middle ear or mastoid. All 3 patients were elderly diabetic men who presented with headache. We review the clinical features, radiologic findings, and culture results in all 3 cases, and we describe the treatment regimens that led to a successful response in all 3 patients.

    Abstract Aim: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a predisposing factor of esophageal adenocarcinoma/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (ECA/GEJ Aca). BE patients are stratified and subsequently monitored according to the risk of malignant progression by the combination of endoscopy and biopsy. This study is to evaluate the maspin expression patterns as early diagnostic markers of malignancy in BE patients.
    Materials and methods: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was performed on 62 archival core biopsies from 35 patients, including BE without dysplasia (intestinal metaplasia, IM), BE with low grade dysplasia, BE with high grade dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, and well to poorly differentiated ECA/GEJ Aca (PD-ECA/GEJ Aca). The intensity and the subcellular distribution of immunoreactivity were evaluated microscopically. Statistical analysis was performed using the χ2 and Fisher exact tests.
    Results: The level of epithelial-specific tumor suppressor maspin protein inversely correlated with the progression from IM to PD-ECA/GEJ Aca. Lesions of each pathological grade could be divided into subtypes that exhibited distinct maspin subcellular distribution patterns, including nuclear only (Nuc), combined nuclear and cytoplasmic (Nuc+Cyt), cytoplasmic only (Cyt) and overall negligible (Neg). The Cyt subtype, which was minor in both IM and dysplasia (approximately 10%), was predominant in ECA/GEJ Aca as early as well-differentiated lesions (more than 50%: p = 0.0092). In comparison, nuclear staining of the tumor suppressor TP53 was heterogeneous in dysplasia, and did not correlate with the differentiation grades of ECA/GEJ Aca.
    Conclusion: The Cyt subtype of maspin expression pattern in core biopsies of BE patients may serve as a molecular marker for early diagnosis of ECA/GEJ Aca.
