Three-Dimensional Printing in Orthopedics: from the Basics to Surgical Applications
Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2021Co-Authors: Leandro Ejnisman, Bruno Gobbato, Andre Ferrari França Camargo, Eduardo ZanculAbstract:Purpose of Review Additive manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly evolving field traditionally utilized in non-medical industries. Recently, the medical use of AM is expanding, especially in Orthopedics. The goal of this article is presenting the principles of AM and its main applications in Orthopedics. Recent Findings The main indications for AM in Orthopedics are education, orthotics, surgical planning, surgical guides, and custom-made implants. Three-dimensional (3D) digital models can be obtained from tomographic scans using available free software. Then, it can be used to create a physical model, plan surgeries, or develop surgical guides which can aid the orthopedic surgeon during complex cases. Recent studies demonstrated the benefits of using printed models in educating patients and medical residents. Custom-made implants also have been evaluated with promising clinical outcomes. Summary Using 3D technology has become a reality in Orthopedics. Surgeons should expect exponential growth of its applications in the upcoming years. It is paramount that orthopedists get familiar with this disruptive technology.

Publication output of French orthopedic and trauma surgeons: Quantitative and qualitative bibliometric analysis of their scientific production in Orthopedics and other medical fields
Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research, 2019Co-Authors: Marc Saab, Julien Dartus, Roger Erivan, Nicolas Reina, Matthieu Ollivier, Patrick DevosAbstract:Introduction Bibliometric analysis is being used more and more in Orthopedics and traumatology. However, the quantity and quality of publications authored by French orthopedic and trauma surgeons outside their discipline have never been analyzed, nor has the change in the quality of Orthopedics publications. This led us to carry out a bibliometric analysis to answer the following questions: 1) How has the quantity of scientific production by French orthopedists changed over the past 10 years? 2) How has the quality of the overall scientific production by French orthopedists changed over the past 10 years? Hypothesis From 2008 to 2017, the production of French orthopedists has increased in quantity and quality in Orthopedics and other medical fields. Material and methods The analysis was performed by cross-referencing the list of SOFCOT (French Society for Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology) members with the French SIGAPS database and the InCites platform. Out of 3979 SOFCOT members, 972 (24%) had authored publications during this period and were included in the analysis. Several indicators were analyzed: number of publications; SIGAPS score (production quality) for the various Web of Science (WoS) categories; number and percentage of publications in the top 1% and top 10% (most highly cited articles worldwide). Results The “Orthopedics” discipline was still the most prevalent with 68% of all publications identified. The “Surgery” discipline was stable, and the share of publications had increased in five other disciplines: Sports Sciences, Clinical Neurology, Emergency Medicine, Engineering–Biomedical and Material Science–Biomaterials. Of the 727 journals indexed in PubMed in which at least one author is a French orthopedic or trauma surgeon, 79 journals (11%) had at least 10 articles authored by a French orthopedists, making up 4680/6056 published articles (77%) during the study period. The highest SIGAPS score was in the “Orthopedics” discipline followed by “Surgery”, and then by “Sport Sciences” with a large number of publications in the SIGAPS B category. Publications in “Orthopedics” category A and B journals increased 14% during this period. When all disciplines are pooled, the share of publications in SIGAPS A, B and C categories increased by 10% from 2008 to 2017. The largest increase in publications for categories A and B and the top 1% and 10% was in “Sports Sciences”. Discussion Over the past 10 years, French orthopedists have continued to increase their scientific production in the Orthopedics field and in related fields such as Sport Sciences, Clinical Neurology and Biomedical Engineering. The quality of the scientific production of French orthopedists in their discipline and outside of it has greatly improved, as evidenced by the shift toward SIGAPS A and B journals. Level of evidence IV, retrospective study without control group.

Foreword: Pediatric Orthopedics in Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy, 1991Co-Authors: Susan R. Harris, Loretta M KnutsonAbstract:Management of the child with an orthopedic impairment should be of interest not only to pediatric therapists but to all physical therapists who deal with clients with any type of musculoskeletal disorder. An understanding of normal musculoskeletal development, as provided in the first article of this two-part special series, is critical to the conscientious management of any individual with disease or abnormality of muscles, bones, or joints. Because it is impossible within this special series to provide a comprehensive review of the entire field of pediatric Orthopedics, we have chosen to focus on some of the more common orthopedic concerns of children with developmental disabilities, limb deficiencies, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and idiopathic scoliosis. Landmark federal legislation implemented during the past two decades has greatly expanded the role of physical therapists in both assessment and management of infants, children, and adolescents with orthopedic and neurologic disabilities.…

Telemedicine: Is It a Tool for Orthopedics?
Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2020Co-Authors: Noel Oizerovici Foni, Lauro Augusto Veloso Costa, Leandro Manuel Reis Velloso, Carlos Henrique Sartorato PedrottiAbstract:Purpose of Review The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how telemedicine can be beneficial in many areas of orthopedic clinical practice through a literature narrative review. In addition, we discuss advantages, barriers, and enablers of such technology. Recent Findings Telemedicine in Orthopedics was initially described to discuss simple cases among non-specialist doctors through videoconferencing. Recently, it evolved to postoperative follow-up on selected cases, physical examination, and even teleconsultations direct to patients. Studies have reported that consultation can be offered safely to selected patients. Although this topic is already being addressed for a long time, recent studies have reported that there is still resistance among many orthopedic surgeons. Summary Telemedicine for Orthopedics has safely expanded its operations. It can be used in postoperative follow-up of selected cases, fracture follow-up, and even in pediatric cases. Remote diagnosis of fractures is done successfully on an outpatient basis in many countries. Protocols and methods to standardize the virtual orthopedic examination for common musculoskeletal conditions have been developed. Satisfaction with teleconsultations as well as cost-effectiveness of remote care Orthopedics were already well reported by some studies. We believe that remote care will be expanded in several hospitals around the world due to its huge potential. This fact is explained by natural technological development and by change and obliteration of habits accelerated exponentially after COVID-19 crisis.
