Ottawa Orthopaedics Quarterly From the Desk of the Chief

Vol 3 No. 4 May 2018

Another academic year is coming to an end! We had another great Uhthoff Research Day and evening which this year was combined with our Ottawa Orthopaedic Alumni Update II with over 50 participants. This was a great success permitting our residents to network with our alumni from across the country. Congratulations to our graduating class of residents and fellows! We wish them the best of luck in their young careers. After two years of international search, we are extremely pleased to announce that Daniel Coutu, PhD will be the first holder of the Research Chair in Regenerative Orthopaedic Surgery. We say good bye to Dr. Alberto Carli who will be joining the staff at the Hospital for Special Surgery.

MODULATING SCOLIOSIS WITH VERTEBRAL BODY TETHERING

There is a growing interest in maintaining spinal motion while treating pediatric spinal deformity which has fueled the development of various growth modulation procedures, including Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT). The goal of this surgery is to correct spinal deformity while maintaining motion through fusionless techniques. Growth modulation has been applied in pediatric orthopedic surgery for decades, and has been mainly used in the lower extremities to correct malalignment. Vertebral growth modulation is a new technique that applies similar principles to correcting immature adolescent idiopathic scoliosis where the vertebral growth is altered on the convexity of the deformity. VBT is performed through a minimally invasive thoracoscopic approach. Screws are inserted into the lateral aspect of the anterior column on the convexity of the curve and a tether is applied and tensioned to partially correct the scoliosis. The remainder of the correction is achieved by ongoing growth of the concave side. Early, short term, single institution series have been encouraging with few reported major complications. More research is necessary on VBT safety, timing of VBT placement, VBT tensioning, intervertebral disc health, long-term patient reported and radiographic outcomes of VBT.

There has been significant patient and family interest in this “fusionless, minimally invasive” procedure, which is now being done in 4 Canadian cities; Montreal, Vancouver, Halifax and Ottawa. To date, 4 VBTs have been performed at CHEO with great initial success. Our current indications for VBT are: surgical magnitude or progressive curves, ongoing growth potential (pre-menarchal, Risser 0-2), and main thoracic curves. Please tune in to the CHEO Telethon on June 9-10

th, 2018 for a patient story on VBT.

ASPIRIN AS GOOD AS BLOOD THINNER FOR PREVENTING BLOOD CLOTS AFTER HIP AND KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY

Drs. Paul Kim and Wade Gofton co-authored a study published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine that found aspirin to be just as good as the blood thinner rivaroxaban for preventing blood clots after a hip or knee replacement. These blood clots can be deadly if they travel to the lungs, and are the third most common cardiovascular cause of death after heart attack and stroke. All 3,424 patients in the trial took rivaroxaban for five days after their surgery. Then half the patients continued taking rivaroxaban while half took aspirin for an additional nine days for a knee replacement or 30 days for a hip replacement. This multicenter study led by Dr. David R. Anderson of Halifax showed that the two medications are equally safe and equally good at preventing blood clots. Aspirin costs much less than rivaroxaban, so this study could lead to significant savings for the health-care system. There were 53,000 hip and 64,000 knee replacements done in Canada in 2015. Authors: David R. Anderson, Michael Dunbar, John Murnaghan, Susan R. Kahn, Peter Gross, Michael Forsythe, Stephane Pelet, William Fisher, Etienne Belzile, Sean Dolan, Mark Crowther, Eric Bohm, Steven J. MacDonald, Wade Gofton, Paul Kim, David Zukor, Susan Pleasance, Pantelis Andreou, Steve Doucette, Chris Theriault, Abongnwen Abianui, Marc Carrier, Michael J. Kovacs, Marc A. Rodger, Doug Coyle, Philip S. Wells, and Pascal-Andre Vendittoli.

Dr. Wade Gofton Dr. Paul Kim SPINE STAFF PARTICIPATE IN THE OLYMPINK MASTERS SPRINT CHALLENGE, A FUNDRAISER FOR THE OTTAWA BREAST HEALTH CENTRE On April 7, 2018, Drs. Eugene Wai and Alexandra Stratton competed in the first OlymPink Masters Swim Meet at Brewer Pool, which helped raised over $18,000 for The Ottawa Hospital. Dr. Wai won the award in his age group for fastest time in all six events combined and Dr. Stratton passed the torch to, and kicked a victory lap with, a breast cancer survivor. Dr. Wai is now challenging anyone to race 2, 5 or 10K at the Feel It Your Bones Run on June 17, 2018 to raise money for the Ottawa Team Broken Earth Medical / Surgical Mission to Haiti. https://feelitinyourbones.ca

Congratulations to the PGY-2 residents on completing the Surgical Foundations exam! They could not be happier! Our PGY-5 residents wrote their Royal College exams on May 1-2nd. We wish them luck on their oral exam to be held on May 23rd. We know they will be amazing!!

Drs. Olivier Gauthier-Kwan (PGY-4) and Youjin Chang (PGY-3) went with CAMTA to Ecuador recently and had such a great experience both surgically and culturally. One of the photos below is Youjin’s favorite memory - a thank you note from a child they operated on.

Drs. Youjin Chang, Olivier Gauthier-Kwan

Dr. Massimo Petrera (PGY-2) is the recipient of the ON/AANA Education Scholarship offered for the 2018 AANA meeting by Arthroscopy Association of North America and Ortho regeneration Network Foundation to young AANA members with interest and research experience in the field of cartilage repair and tissue engineering.

Congratulations to our PGY-4 residents on securing prestigious fellowships: Dr. Mahmoud Almasri - Sports at Cincinnati Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center Dr. Olivier Gauthier-Kwan - Foot and Ankle at Adelaide Australia Dr. Ivan Kamikovski - Sports and Upper Extremity at Pan Am Clinic Dr. Lisa Lovse - Sports at Detroit Medical Center Dr. Meaghan Marien - Pediatrics at Utah Dr. Manisha Mistry - Upper Extremity & Trauma at Sunnybrook Dr. Kevin Rasuli - Shoulder & Elbow at Rush

The 6th Annual Royal College Boot Camp for PGY-5 residents took place at Dr. Feibel's cottage the first weekend of March. The simulated oral examinations featured difficult and unusual cases with time compression - a 15 minute case is compressed to 12 minutes. Cases are discussed after the examinations and all PGY-5's are sworn to secrecy.
