ABSTRACT
Objective To systematically evaluate the postoperative complications following open reduction and internal fixation combined with vascularized bone flap graft versus only reduction and internal fixation for femoral neck fractures.Methods CNKI,Wan Fang Chinese database,Pubmed,EMBASE and Google Scholar English database were searched for the randomized controlled trials from January 1,2000 through October 31,2017 which compared open reduction and internal fixation combined with vascularized bone flap graft (combined surgery group) with only reduction and internal fixation (simple surgery group) for femoral neck fractures.The data concerning postoperative nonunion and avascular necrosis of the femoral head were extracted.The 2 surgical treatments of the patients with femoral neck fracture were compared in terms of the 2 complications.Statistical analyses were conducted using software Stata 12 by relative risk (RR) and corresponding 95％ confidence intervals (95％ CI).Results According to our inclusion and exclusion criteria,a total of 23 studies were included,involving 2,162 cases (1,048 cases receiving combined surgery and 1,114 cases simple surgery).The Meta analyses showed that the fracture nonunion rate for the combined surgery group was significantly lower than that for the simple surgery group [RR =0.27,95％ CI(0.19,0.38),P ＜ 0.001] and the rate of avascular necrosis was also significantly lower for the former than for the latter [RR =0.31,95 ％ CI(0.24,0.42),P ＜ 0.001].Conclusion In the treatment of femoral neck fractures,open reduction and internal fixation combined with vascularied bone graft may lead to lower rates of nonunion and avascular necrosis of the femoral head than simple open reduction and internal fixation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the efficacy of calf self weight traction reduction combined with locking plate fixation for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.Methods A retrospective case series study was conducted on the clinical records of 174 elderly patients with the modified Evans Ⅰ-Ⅲ types of fresh intertrochanteric fractures treated with locking plate from January 2012 to December 2015.According to treatment method,the patients were assigned to traction bed reduction with locking plate fixation (Group A,62 patients) and calf self weight traction reduction with locking plate fixation (Group B,112 patients).Group A comprised 32 males and 30 females,with age range of 65-91 years [(72.47 ± 6.35) years].Group B comprised 68 males and 44 females,with age range of 65-95 years [(73.23 ± 6.05) years].The time of reduction,operation time,incision length,intraoperative blood loss,frequency of fluoroscopy,postoperative drainage volume,hospital stay,postoperative weightbearing standing time or walking time (ambulation time),surgical complications,and fracture healing were recorded.Harris and modified Barthel index score in Chinese (MBI-C) were used to evaluate the functional recovery of hip joint.Results All patients were followed up for 5-61 months (mean,15 months),and noted with fracture healing.The time of reduction in Group A was (13.27 ± 3.03) minutes,longer than that in Group B (0 minute) (P ＜0.05).The operation time in Group A was (63.63 ± 13.90)minutes,longer than that in Group B [(59.62 ± 8.38) minutes] (P ＜ 0.05).Fluoroscopy in Group A was (5.35 ± 2.36) times,more than (4.28 ± 3.11) times in Group B (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in the incision length,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage volume,ambulation time,fracture healing time,Harris score,and MBI-C index between the two groups (P ＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the postoperative complications such as deep venous thrombosis,pulmonary infection,incisional infection,urinary tract infection,delirium,bed sores,cardiac insufficiency,electrolyte disturbance,and postoperative plate rupture between the two groups (P＞0.05).The incidence of deep vein thrombosis was 9.7％ (6/62) in Group A,and 4.5％ (5/112) in Group B (P ＞0.05).No screw fracture,nail and plate combination failure,bone nonunion,or screw cut out of the femoral head were observed in both groups.Conclusions For the modified Evans Ⅰ-Ⅲ types of intertrochanteric fractures,both traction bed reduction and calf weight reduction with locking plate have equivalent efficacy.However,the latter method has advantages of shorter reduction and operation time and less intraoperative X-ray exposure,and hence is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the advantages of computer assisted total knee arthroplasty(TKA)by comparing the post-operative 1 year short term effect of the computer assisted TKA and the conventional TKA .Methods A total of 60 patients from September 2013 to September 2014 were randomly divided into two groups and performed TKA by adopting the computer-assisted technology and the conventional technology respectively .The KSS score ,WOMAC score ,Oxford score and long-leg weight-bearing X-ray before operation and at postoperative 1 year were performed for each case and the statistical analysis was conducted . Results All cases were followed up for an average of 12 months (12—14 months) .The mechanical limb axis in the navigation as-sisted group was —0 .033o± 1 .470o ,which in the traditional group was 0 .600o± 2 .989o(t= —1 .711 ,P<0 .05);the proportions of within 3o varus/valgus force lines were 86 .70% and 73 .30% respectively ,the KSS scores were 88 .80 ± 3 .71 and 82 .63 ± 4 .15;the postoperative WOMAC scores were 23 .57 ± 3 .64 and 30 .00 ± 4 .89 respectively ;the Oxford scores were 18 .53 ± 3 .66 and 21 .83 ± 3 .99 ,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0 .005) .Conclusion TKA by computer navigation guidance can obtain more accurate lower limb force lines ,moreover the navigation group has more advantages in the clinical rehabili-tation effect .
