Abstract
Introduction: Diabetic foot ulcer is the main aetiology for non-traumatic amputation, which is a major public health care concern. A multidisciplinary approach in the management of this pathology has been shown to improve the surgical outcome. However, there are little data available on the tools we can use to pursue this multidisciplinary approach. The main goal of this cross-sectional study was to find out whether the implementation of a specific management pathway could improve the treatment outcome in the treatment of diabetic foot. Materials and Methods: From 2012 to 2014, we consecutively recruited patients with diabetic foot referred to Orthopaedic surgery department of our university for surgical opinion. A specific diabetic foot pathway was introduced in 2013. One group of patients who were treated with previous method were evaluated retrospectively. Another group of patients who were treated after implementation of the pathway were evaluated prospectively. We compared treatment outcome between the two groups. Results: We included 51 patients. Amputation rate was similar both the groups: 74% in the retrospective group not using the new pathway versus 73% in a prospective group that used the new pathway. Revision surgery was 39% in the retrospective group and 14% in the prospective group (p=0.05). Conclusion: We recommend the use of this simple and cost-effective pathway to guide the interdisciplinary management of diabetic foot. A prospective study with more subjects would provide a better overview of this management pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the reasons for revision of total ankle replacement (TAR) implants is loosening due to subchondral cysts. Reconstruction and fusion of the ankle is often the first choice for revision procedures due to the large bone defects, which are typically filled with autograft and/or allograft. Filling the defect with a trabecular metal tantalum implant is a potential alternative given the biomechanical properties of this component. HYPOTHESIS Using tantalum as a spacer provides primary stability and contributes to fusion of the ankle joint after removal of failed TAR implants. METHODS Eleven patients underwent arthrodesis an average of 6.9 years after TAR. The mean height of the bone defect was 32mm. It was filled with a specially designed quadrangular implant (Trabecular Metal™, Zimmer/Biomet) combined with an iliac crest graft. Ten patients underwent tibio-talo-calcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis fixed with an angled retrograde nail and one patient underwent talocrural arthrodesis fixed with two plates (anterolateral and anteromedial). The clinical, functional (AOFAS and SF36 scores) and radiological (plain X-rays and CT scan) outcomes were determined. RESULTS At a mean follow-up of 19.3 months, the mean total AOFAS score was 56 (21-78) and the mean SF36 score was 60.5 (19-84). One patient was lost to follow-up and four patients still had pain. The tantalum implant was integrated in six patients. Five patients achieved fusion of the subtalar joint and 8 achieved fusion of the talocrural joint. Three patients required surgical revision. DISCUSSION Our hypothesis was not confirmed. The clinical outcomes after more than 1 year of follow-up are disappointing, as was the large number of nonunion cases and the lack of tantalum integration. These technical failures can be explained by insufficient construct stability and/or insufficient implant porosity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV (retrospective cohort study).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The application of safety principles from the aviation industry to the operating room has offered hope in reducing surgical complications. This study aimed to assess the impact on major surgical complications of adding an aviation-based team training programme after checklist implementation.
Methods
A prospective parallel-group cluster trial was undertaken between September 2011 and March 2013. Operating room teams from 31 hospitals were assigned randomly to participate in a team training programme focused on major concepts of crew resource management and checklist utilization. The primary outcome measure was the occurrence of any major adverse event, including death, during the hospital stay within the first 30 days after surgery. Using a difference-in-difference approach, the ratio of the odds ratios (ROR) was estimated to compare changes in surgical outcomes between intervention and control hospitals.
Results
Some 22 779 patients were enrolled, including 5934 before and 16 845 after team training implementation. The risk of major adverse events fell from 8·8 to 5·5 per cent in 16 intervention hospitals (adjusted odds ratio 0·57, 95 per cent c.i. 0·48 to 0·68; P < 0·001) and from 7·9 to 5·4 per cent in 15 control hospitals (odds ratio 0·64, 0·50 to 0·81; P < 0·001), resulting in the absence of difference between arms (ROR 0·90, 95 per cent c.i. 0·67 to 1·21; P = 0·474). Outcome trends revealed significant improvements among ten institutions, equally distributed across intervention and control hospitals.
Conclusion
Surgical outcomes improved substantially, with no difference between trial arms. Successful implementation of an aviation-based team training programme appears to require modification and adaptation of its principles in the context of the the surgical milieu.
