Characteristics of Suture Materials Used in Oral Surgery: Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this review was to evaluate the most used suture materials with regards to their inflammatory response, their bacterial adhesion, and their physical properties when used to close oral wounds.

Methods

Four databases (PubMed, Scopus, Dentistry & Oral Sciences, and OVID) were searched to retrieve relevant studies from January 1, 2000, to January 31, 2020.

Results

Out of the 269 articles, only 13 studies were selected as they were relevant and met the systematic review's protocol. These studies showed that almost all suture materials studies (catgut, polyglycolic acid [PGA] sutures, nylon, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, and silk sutures) caused bacterial adherence and tissue reaction. In nylon and chromic catgut, the number of bacteria accumulated was lowest. Silk and nylon were found to be more impacted than catgut and PGA in terms of physical characteristics such as tensile strength. PGA, on the other hand, was said to be the most susceptible to knot unwinding.

Conclusions

Following an oral surgical operation, all sutures revealed varied degrees of irritation and microbial accumulation. Nonresorbable monofilament synthetic sutures, however, exhibited less tissue response and less microbial accumulation.

Project description:PurposeSuture anchors are commonly used to repair rotator cuff tendons in arthroscopy surgery, and several anchor materials have been created to maximize pull-out strength and minimize iatrogenic damage. We hypothesized that all-suture anchors have biomechanical properties equivalent to those of conventional anchors. Our purpose is to compare the biomechanical properties of different anchors used for rotator cuff repair.MethodsThe Embase, PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus databases were searched for biomechanical studies on various suture anchors. The search keywords included rotator cuff tears and suture anchors, and two authors conducted study a selection, risk of bias assessment, and data extraction. The failure load, stiffness, and displacement were calculated using the mean differences with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Failure modes were estimated using summary odds ratios with 95% CIs. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve was used for the relative ranking probabilities. A sensitivity analysis was performed by excluding studies using synthetic bones.ResultsThe polyetheretherketone (PEEK) (p < 0.001) and all-suture anchors (p < 0.001) had higher failure loads than the biocomposite anchors, whereas no significant difference was observed in stiffness among the anchors. The all-suture (p = 0.006) and biocomposite anchors (p < 0.001) had displacements higher than the metal anchors. The relative ranking of the included anchors in failure loads and displacement changed in sensitivity analysis. The meta-analysis did not find significant differences, but the relative ranking probabilities suggested that all-suture anchor had a higher rate of anchor pull-out and a lower rate of eyelet or suture breakage. In contrast, the metal anchors were associated with a higher number of eyelet breakage episodes.ConclusionsAll-suture anchors showed significantly higher failure loads than the biocomposite anchors and similar cyclic displacements to the biocomposite and PEEK anchors. There were no significant differences in stiffness between all-suture and conventional suture anchors. The relative ranking of biomechanical properties changed in sensitivity analysis, suggesting the potential effect of bone marrow density.Level of evidenceLevel IV.

Project description:Objective: Suture tape (ST) is a common synthetic material in the repairing surgery of soft tissue. Recently, ST augmentation (STA) technique has been described as a novel way to improve the mechanical property of grafts in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). However, the clinical outcomes of ACLR using ST-augmented grafts have not been clarified. This systematic review aimed to summarize the specific technique of STA and evaluate the clinical outcomes after ACLR with STA. Methods: A electronic search of PubMed and Embase databases with a manual search of Google Scholar was performed to identify studies that reported the clinical outcomes of ACLR with STA. Each included study was abstracted regarding the study features, patient data, surgical information, and outcome measures. Results: Nine studies were included, representing 314 knees in 314 patients undergoing ACLR with STA. Technically, ST was fixed independently from grafts in six studies and along with grafts in two studies. Most studies applied an equal or slightly less tension on ST than ACL graft. Clinically, significant improvements were found in the Lysholm, IKDC, and KOOS scores after a mean follow-up of 16.7 months. Physical examinations of 220 patients showed significant restoration of knee stability at the final follow-up. 59 of 80 (73.8%) patients returned to preinjury sports level at a minimum 2 year follow-up. Six of 266 (2.3%) patients had a graft failure during the first 2 years postoperatively. The use of ST was significantly associated with better Tegner scores and a trend toward significantly higher rates of return to sport compared to standard ACLR. No significant difference was found in most subjective scores, knee laxity, and graft failures between ACLR with or without STA. Conclusion: ACLR with STA achieved overall favorable clinical outcomes. Patients using ST-augmented grafts were seemingly associated with better sports performance compared to standard ACLR. But ACLR with STA was not superior to ACLR alone in most functional scores, knee stability measures, and graft failure rates. A tension equal to or slightly less than the ACL graft should be carefully applied on ST during fixation to avoid stress shielding of the graft.

Project description:PurposeThe purpose of this study was to identify the most commonly used outcome measurements following shoulder surgery and to investigate demographic variables related to their use.MethodsPubMed and Embase were searched to identify studies in which at least 1 shoulder-specific outcome measurement was used. Exclusion criteria included duplicate studies, review articles, lack of surgical arm, written in a language other than English, or not adult-specific. Additionally, surgeries were subcategorized based on the type of pathology leading to surgery.ResultsOf the 589 articles identified in the search, 180 met the inclusion criteria. A total of 35 shoulder-specific outcome measurements were reported. The Constant-Murley score (CMS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES), Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and University of California Los Angeles Score (UCLA) were used in more than 10% of the articles. The CMS and SSV were used more commonly together than individually (P = .0074). Additionally, the ASES (P < .00001) and CMS (P = .0109) were associated with the country of origin of the article. The SST was used more frequently in randomized control trials (P = .0287). The ASES and DASH were associated with surgeries categorized under the degenerative indication (P = .001 and P = .0146). Finally, the SSV, ASES and DASH were all found to be significantly paired with surgeries that indicated traumatic pathology (P = .0061, P = .0077 and P = .0069, respectively).ConclusionsThere is great variability among the outcome measurements currently being used for assessing function following orthopaedic shoulder surgery; however, 5 scoring systems are used more frequently than others. There remains a large discrepancy between the ideal reporting, as noted in the recent literature review, and the current state of outcomes reported at this time.Clinical relevanceBy identifying and evaluating the heterogeneity of the reporting and the usage of the performance indicators, these results can guide the standardization of outcome measurements in shoulder surgery and allow for better comparability when assessing outcomes between patients and studies.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate the occurrence of heat-related complications from radiofrequency and electrocautery devices in patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery.MethodsA systematic review was performed using the PubMed/Medline, Embase, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and Cochrane databases, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. All studies reporting complications after arthroscopy using electrosurgery devices were included. Only English- and Dutch-language articles were included. Basic science/nonclinical studies/human cadaveric studies and animal studies were excluded. Article selection was performed by 2 separate reviewers. Interobserver agreement of the selection procedure was determined by Cohen's kappa. All included articles were critically appraised using an adapted version of the ROBINS-I tool.ResultsTwenty-five studies were included in this systematic review. A total of 309 cases of heat-related complications were identified. Chondrolysis was present in 45 cases and dermal burns in 15 cases. Axillary nerve injuries were reported in 197 cases of arthroscopic adhesive capsulitis release. However, it was unclear whether these injuries were directly related to the overheating of the arthroscopic fluid. No one specific risk factor for thermal complications was identified, but related factors included the leakage of the arthroscopy fluid, use of a thermal device continuously for a long period of time, proximity of the thermal device to the tissue, intra-articular local anesthetic injection or the use of intra-articular pain pumps, and certain surgical procedures, such as thermal capsulorrhaphy, capsular release, and synovectomy.ConclusionsThe most common heat-related complications in arthroscopy are dermal burns and chondrolysis. Risk factors include leakage of arthroscopy fluid, use of a thermal device, intra-articular anesthetics/pain pumps, and performing specific surgical procedures.Level of evidenceSystematic review of level III-IV studies.
