BACKGROUND: The tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance is used as an indicator for medial tibial tubercle transfer; however, to our knowledge, no studies have verified whether this distance is strongly affected by tubercle lateralization at the proximal part of the tibia. We hypothesized that the tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance is mainly affected by tibial tubercle lateralization at the proximal part of the tibia.
METHODS: Forty-four patients with a history of patellar dislocation and forty-four age and sex-matched controls were analyzed with use of computed tomography. The tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance, tibial tubercle lateralization, trochlear groove medialization, and knee rotation were measured and were compared between the patellar dislocation group and the control group.

Exam Corner - August 2013.
Bone Joint J. 2013 Aug 1;95-B(8):1151-1152
Authors: Khanduja V
Abstract
The FRCS (Tr & Orth) examination has three components: MCQs, Vivas and Clinical Examination. The Vivas are further divided into four sections comprising Basic Science, Adult Pathology, Hands and Children's Orthopaedics and Trauma. The Clinical Examination section is divided into Upper and Lower limb cases. The aim of this section in the Journal is to focus specifically on the trainees preparing for the exam and to cater to all the sections of the exam. The vision is to complete the cycle of all relevant exam topics (as per the syllabus) in four years.

Is radiographic measurement of distal femoral torsion reliable?
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res. 2013 Jul 29;
Authors: Viel T, Casin C, Ducellier F, Steiger V, Bigorre N, Bizot P
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Distal femur torsion (DFT) is a crucial parameter in knee replacement surgery. The reference standard for measuring DFT is posterior condylar angle (PCA) measurement using computed tomography (CT). The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and reliability of a radiographic PCA measurement method.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied 125 osteoarthritic knees in 79 patients (42 women and 37 men) with a mean age of 71.6±8.8years (range 47 to 86 years); 32 knees were aligned, 85 in varus, and eight in valgus. DFT was measured on an antero-posterior (AP) radiograph of the knee in 90° of flexion (known as the seated AP view). The PCA was defined as the angle subtended by the tangent to the posterior condyles and the transepicondylar axis (anatomic PCA [aPCA]) or the line connecting the lateral epicondyle to the medial sulcus (surgical PCA [sPCA]). The PCA was conventionally recorded as positive in the event of external torsion and negative in the event of internal torsion. PCA measurements were performed three times by each of five observers to allow assessments of inter-observer and test-retest reliabilities.

Operating Room Efficiency: Benefits of an Orthopaedic Traumatologist at a Level II Trauma Center.
J Orthop Trauma. 2013 Jul 28;
Authors: Althausen PL, Kauk JR, Shannon S, Lu M, O'Mara TJ, Bray TJ
Abstract
OBJECTIVES:: Fellowship trained orthopaedic traumatologists are presumably taught skill sets leading to 'best practice' outcomes and more efficient use of hospital resources. This should result in more favorable economic opportunities when compared to general orthopaedic surgeons (GOS) providing similar clinical services. The purpose of our study was to compare the operating room utilization and financial data of traumatologists vs. GOS at a level II trauma center.
DESIGN:: Retrospective Review SETTING:: Level II Community Based Trauma Hospital PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS:: Patients who presented to the emergency room at our institution with fractures and orthopaedic conditions requiring surgical intervention from January 1,2010 to December 31, 2011.
INTERVENTION:: Operative fracture fixation by members of our orthopaedic trauma panel, including fellowship and non-trauma fellowship trained orthopaedic surgeons.
