Item type:Publication, GIANT CELL TUMOR OF THE PROXIMAL TIBIA TREATED WITH EN BLOC RESECTION AND RECONSTRUCTION WITH SEMI-CONSTRAINED KNEE ENDOPROSTHESIS: А CASE REPORT(Faculty of Physical Education, Sport and Health, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia, 2021); ; ; ; Introduction:Giant cell tumor(osteoclastoma) is benign, locally destructive tumor with low metastatic potential, but it has tendency of recurrence after the treatment. The primary areas of involvement are the ends of long bones, commonly the distal femur and proximal tibia. The most preferred treatment modality of the giant cell tumor is surgery. Case report: A 54-year-old female presented with pain and slight swelling localized over the proximal left tibia and limited range of motion in the left knee. After histological confirmation of the diagnosis with open biopsy, en bloc resection of the lesion wasmade with reconstruction of knee joint with semi-constrained knee endoprosthesis and trabecular metal. Conclusion: Selecting the appropriate treatment method is very important for the recovery of the function of the affected joint and for the whole extremity, as well. There is an advantage of en bloc resection and reconstruction with semi- constrained knee endoprosthesis in combination with trabecular metal in cases with extensive destruction of bone structure, recurrence, pathological fracture or difficulty in reconstruction after intralesional curettage. Advantages in functional aspect of this treatment modality are retaining the stability of the knee joint, substituting the bone defect and fast recovery of the function of the affected joint and limb. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Developmental disorders of the hip treated at the clinic for orthopaedic diseases in a period of 10 years(2009-2018)(Институт за јавно здравје на Република Македонија = Institute of public health of Republic of Macedonia, 2022-05-04); ; Developmental hip dysplasia includes a wide range of conditions such as subluxation, dislocation, hip instability, and teratological hip. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical examination, ultrasound examination and anterior-posterior view radiograph (AP). Treatment varied depending on the patient's age and the degree of dysplasia: Pavlik harness, closed reduction, open reduction and corrective osteotomies. In this study 242 patients were included, of whom 198 were female patients and 44 male. All of the patients were treated with conservative treatment- closed reducation and spica casting. Left-sided dislocations were more common than right sided dislocations with predominance in the female patients. The main treatment in follow-up patients was closed reduction with or without adductor muscle tenotomy (m. add. longus). In cases with unsuccessful attempt of closed reduction, open reduction was performed with or without adductor muscle tenotomy. Depending on the residual dysplasia, patients were additionally treated with pelvic osteotomies (Salter 's inominate osteotomy), varus derotation osteotomy, valgus osteotomy, proximal femoral resection, and trochanter major transposition. 167 patients were treated with closed reduction and 3 with open reduction. The remaining patients were treated with closed reduction and additional surgery or with open reduction and additional surgery. Out of all treated patients, only 10 patients had recurrent dislocation of the hip, 7 female and 3 male patients. Closed reduction was performed again on two patients, and open reduction of the hip was performed on one patient. The average age of patients was 21.5 months. By presenting the cases in a period of 10 years, it was conclud that most cases were diagnosed later. Also, the standard closed reduction treatment was successful even after the first year in said patients. Depending on the residual dysplasia of the hip, in order to achieve better congruence of the joint, additional surgeries were performed. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, PSEUDOTUMOR FOLLOWING METALONPOLYETHYLENE TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY A REPORT OF THREE CASES(Македонска асоцијација на ортопеди и трауматолози = Macedonian Association of Orthopedics and Traumatology, 2022-06); ; ; ; Introduction: One of the rare complications of the total hip arthroplasty are pseudotumors. They are defined as granulomatous or destructive cystic lesions with nonneoplastic and noninfective origin. Typically there is latent period of 2 to 15 years from the implantation of the endoprosthesis to the clinical manifestation of the lesion. Most common symptoms are pain, swelling and discomfort but also, loosening of the components of the endoprosthesis or compressive symptomatology can occur. Potential mechanisms of development of psudotumors are foreignbody reaction, hypersensitivity reaction and excessive wear debris reaction. Case reports: We report three cases of pseudotumors following metalonpolyethylene total hip arthroplasty. The first case is 76yearold women presented with pain and limited motion of the right hip, 18 years after the hip arthroplasty. The second case is 53yearold man presented with pain and swelling in the right trochanteric region, 21 years after the hip arthroplasty. The third case is 55yearold women presented with painless, large mass in the left proximal thigh, 13 years after the hip arthroplasty. All three patients were treated operatively with extirpation of the pseudotumor. Discussion: Patients with hip or groin pain, a mass, or a fluid collection following total hip arthroplasty should be carefully evaluated, especially for the presence of infection. Unfamiliarity with pseudotumors may lead clinicians and radiologists to misinterpret these masses as worrisome for malignancy. The management of pseudotumors is controversial since there is no clear consensus for optimal treatment or surveillance. Conclusion: The recognition of pseudotumor is very important considering the increasing number of surgical procedures and consequential postoperative complications. Pseudotumors are a rare but important complication occurring in hip replacement surgery using all different types of implants. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, EVALUATION OF TOTAL BLOOD LOSS AFTER ADMINISTRATION OF TRANEXAIMC ACID IN TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY(MIT University Skopje, 2025-03); ; ; ; Total arthroplasty is one of the most frequent procedures in orthopedic surgery, proven to be an effective treatment that significantly improves patients' quality of life. However, it is associated with considerable perioperative blood loss which can lead to suboptimal outcomes and systemic complications. The aim of this study is to assess the total blood loss after the application of tranexamic acid in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty surgery. A total of 64 patients were included, divided into two groups: a test group where tranexamic acid was administered intravenously and a control group where tranexamic acid was not used. The values for total blood loss and erythrocyte volume loss were statistically significantly lower in the test group. Blood loss in the control group was higher by an average of 482.19 ml. Erythrocyte loss in the control group was higher by an average of 256.28 ml. The use of tranexamic acid as a standard protocol in total hip arthroplasty is a safe and effective method to reduce total blood loss. Ultimately, this results in a reduced need for blood transfusion, a decrease in potential risks and complications associated with it, and the achievement of pharmacoeconomic benefits. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, CORRECTIVE OSTEOTOMY OF THE FIBULA IN POORLY HEALED BIMALLEOLAR FRACTURE(MIT University Skopje, 2025-03); ; ; Atanasovski, IgorAnkle fractures are among the most prevalent lower extremity fractures, with bimalleolar fractures accounting for 60% of cases. Proper classification using the Danis-Weber AO and Lauge-Hansen systems is crucial for guiding treatment decisions. This study presents a surgical approach for the correction of a bimalleolar fracture with fibular deformity, utilizing preoperative X-ray analysis and computer-aided calculations to determine the required osteotomy wedge dimensions. The procedure involved corrective osteotomy, plate fixation, and syndesmotic stabilization to restore anatomical alignment and joint stability. Surgical fixation remains the gold standard for unstable fractures, ensuring optimal functional outcomes. Postoperative rehabilitation plays a vital role in recovery, minimizing complications such as joint stiffness and arthritis. This case highlights the importance of precise preoperative planning, appropriate surgical techniques, and structured rehabilitation for successful management of ankle fractures. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
