ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the morphology of coronoid process fracture in terrible triad injury based on Adams classification.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was used to analyze the three-dimensional CT data of 51 patients with terrible trind injury treated at First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2013 to August 2021, including 33 males and 18 females, aged 18-88 years [(44.7±12.0)years]. The model of ulna coronoid process fracture was established by three-dimensional CT reconstruction technology and was classified according to Adams coronoid process fracture classification. Type I was the coronoid process tip fracture, type II the coronoid process transverse fracture, type III the base fracture of the coronoid process, type IV anterior internal fracture the anteromedial oblique fracture of the coronoid process, and type IV anterior external fracture the anterolateral oblique fracture of the coronoid process. According to the characteristics of the coronoid fracture fragment, type IV anterior external fracture was divided into two subtypes: α subtype involving the coronoid tip and β subtype without involving the coronoid tip. Then, the proportion, height, surface area and volume of different types of coronoid fractures were measured. The proportion, height, surface area and volume of fracture fragments of two subtypes of type IV anterior external fracture were measured, as well as the area of ulnar trochlear joint, area of trochlear joint of ulnar fracture fragment, proportion of the area of trochlear joint affected by the ulnar fragment, area of proximal radioulnar joint, area of proximal radioulnar joint of ulnar fracture fragment and proportion of the area of proximal radioulnar joint affected by the ulnar fragment.Results:Among the patients with terrible triad injury, the ulnar coronoid process fracture was Adams type I in 17 patients (33%), type II in 4 (8%), type III in 4 (8%), type IV anterior internal fracture in 4 (8%) and type IV anterior external fracture in 22 (43%). The height of fracture fragment of type I, type II, type III, type IV anterior internal fracture and type IV anterior external fracture was (3.7±1.9)mm, (10.8±1.1)mm, (14.4±1.2)mm, (5.2±2.4)mm and (6.7±2.6)mm, respectively; the surface area was 63.7(21.4, 221.0)mm 2, 1 086.8(606.8, 1 434.2)mm 2, 1 658.8(1 335.6, 1 695.4)mm 2, 437.3(185.6, 437.3)mm 2 and 511.8(198.8, 646.5)mm 2, respectively; the volume was 46.3(21.4, 180.5)mm 3, 938.7(629.8, 1 011.3)mm 3, 1 797.4(1 520.2, 1 903.7)mm 3, 429.3(138.1, 992.4)mm 3 and 461.9(144.9, 707.1)mm 3, respectively. There were significant differences in the height, surface area and volume of coronoid process fracture with different Adams classification (all P<0.01). Among 22 patients with type IV anterior external fracture, 12 patients were with α subtype and 10 with β subtype. The fracture height of α and β subtypes was (8.6±2.6)mm and (5.0±2.4)mm, respectively; the surface area was 633.2 (530.3, 727.4)mm 2 and 181.4 (136.7, 450.3)mm 2, respectively; the volume was 692.8 (477.6, 778.0)mm 3 and 128.0 (74.2, 405.1)mm 3, respectively. The height, surface area and volume of fracture fragment were significantly different between the two subtypes (all P<0.01). The area of ulnar trochlear joint of α and β subtypes were 901.4(755.1, 1 060.6)mm 2 and 835.2(767.7,909.3)mm 2, respectively; the area of trochlear joint of α and β subtype fragment was 104.1(79.4, 139.9)mm 2 and 38.8(21.3, 58.1)mm 2, respectively; the proportion of the area of trochlear joint affected by α and β subtype fragment was 0.12(0.09, 0.15) and 0.05(0.03, 0.07), respectively. There was no significant difference between α and β subtypes in the area of trochlear joint of ulna ( P>0.05), but the area of trochlear joint of α subtype fragment and proportion of the area of trochlear joint affected by α subtype fragment were higher than those of β subtype fragment (all P<0.01). The area of proxima radioulnar joint of α and β subtypes was 147.9(111.7,164.2)mm 2 and 137.0(118.7,166.7)mm 2, respectively; the area of proximal radioulnar joint of α and β subtypes fragment was 17.7(13.4, 52.2)mm 2 and 6.1(2.6, 20.0)mm 2, respectively; the proportion of the area of proximal radioulnar joint affected by α and β subtypes fragment was 0.12(0.10, 0.35) and 0.05(0.03, 0.15), respectively. There were no significant differences between the two subtypes in proximal radioulnar joint damage (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Adams type IV fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna occupies a large proportion in terrible triad injury, and the type IV anterior external fracture is the main type containing two subtypes with differences in fragment size and shape. However, the injuries to the proximal radioulnar joint surface are similar for the two subtypes, so the injuries of type IV anterior external fracture with different sizes to the proximal radioulnar joint surface should not be neglected in clinical treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the types of ulnar coronoid process fractures in terrible triad injury (TTI) using three coronoid fracture classification systems and to explore the characteristics of coronoid process fractures and compare the reliability of different coronoid process fractures classification systems in TTI.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyze the CT data of 43 patients with typical TTI admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2013 to October 2020. There were 26 males and 17 females, aged from 18 to 88 years [(41.8±15.6)years]. An independent three-dimensional model of the proximal ulna was established using the CT three-dimensional reconstruction technology. The characteristics of the coronoid process fractures were observed. The Regan-Morrey classification, O'Driscoll classification and Adams classification were used to classify the ulnar coronoid process fractures. The reliability of the three classification systems of coronoid fractures was analyzed.Results:The fracture line of the coronoid process was mostly located anterolaterally. Among all patients with ulnar coronoid fractures, there were 17 patients (40%) with type I, 19 (44%) with type II and 7(16%) with type III according to Regan-Morrey classification; there were 34 patients (79%) with type I, 2(5%) with type II and 7(16%) with type III according to O'Driscoll classification; there were 12 patients (28%) with type I, 3(7%) with type II, 7(16%) with type III, 18(42%) with type IV AL and 2(5%) with type IV AM according to Adams classification. Through reliability analysis, the Kappa coefficients of the inter-observer and intra-observer 1, 2, 3 of Regan-Morrey classification were 0.752, 0.813, 0.772 and 0.703, respectively; the Kappa coefficients of the inter-observer and intra-observer 1, 2, 3 of O'Driscoll classification were 0.797, 0.774, 0.837 and 0.775, respectively; the Kappa coefficients of the inter-observer and intra-observer 1, 2, 3 of Adams classification were 0.805, 0.835, 0.837 and 0.875, respectively.Conclusions:Most of the coronoid process fractures locate anterolaterally in TTI. Compared with Regan-Morrey classification and O'Driscoll classification, the reliability of Adams classification is best. Adams classification further subdivides the anterolateral fractures of the coronoid process, which may be more suitable in evaluating the classification of ulnar coronoid process fractures in TTI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application value of remote blood pressure monitoring and health guidance management model in community hypertension patients.Methods 200 hypertension patients were selected from community health service institution between June 2013 and June 2016, and averagely divided into two groups by random number table, 100 cases in each group.The control group was given routine guidance, and the study group was given the remote blood pressure monitoring and online health guidance.The two groups were compared in terms of hypertension knowledge rate and compliance rate, control rate of blood pressure, physical indicators before and after management, including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body mass index (BMI), serum creatinine (SCr), triglyceride (TG) and fasting blood glucose (GLU).Results The hypertension knowledge, treatment compliance rate and blood pressure control rate in the study group were 85%, 98%, 86%, and significantly higher than that of 68%, 82%, 57% (P0.05) between the two groups.Conclusion The remote blood pressure monitoring and online health guidance is useful for community hypertension patients.Hypertension knowledge awareness, medication compliance and blood pressure control rate are improved significantly, meanwhile, the patients physical examination indexes can be promoted.
