ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the outcomes of surgery of hip fracture in elderly pafienta aged equal or greater than 80 years old.Method The data of totally 132 patients with hip fracture aged equal or greater than 80 years old were treated with surgery between January 2004 and December 2008 was analyzed retrospectively Results Of 132 cases,68 cases were femoral neck fracture,while 64 cases were intertroehanteric fracture.The average in.hospital time waft(17.2±4.6)d,and 2 cases died of cerebral embolism and respiratory dysfunction in perioperative period respectively.One hundred and eight cases were followed up for 6 months to 5 yeats,with an average of 3.2 years.According to Harris hip scores,the average score of femoral neck fracture at 1 year and at 2 years postoperatively were(77.6±10.2),(77.3±9.3)scores,respectively;while intertrochantefic fracture at 1 year and at 2 years postoperatively were(84.6±9.8),(83.9±10.1)scores,respectively.Conclusions Aged patients with hip fracture should receivesurgical treatment as early as possible.The reasonable perioperative treatment and operative method are the keys to gain good outcomes.
ABSTRACT
[Objective] To investigate the effectivity and reliability of individualized method to localize the entrance point of the lumbar pedicle screws by vertebral plate borderline.[Methods]Four vertebra specimen were taken the X-ray film of anterior-posterior views as the center of L2.On the X-ray film,the distance between the centre-point of the pedicle to the lateral and superior margins of the vertebral plate were measured,after applied barium at the centre-point of the pedicle,the specimen were taken the X-ray film once more,the relation of the barium to the centre-point of the pedicle was measured;the distance between the centre-point of the pedicle to the lateral and superior margins of the vertebral plate were measured on the normal lumbar X-ray film in 107 cases,the data in different sex and different projection 's center were compared;the method were applied to 40 patients of lumbar pedicle internal fixation,the information in hospital were reviewed to 30 patients of the lumbar pedicle screw localization by transverse process and transverse process.[Results]All(except L5)of lumbar plate borderline were displayed clear in the experiment,accurate rate of setpoint to be 92.5%.The principal X-ray affected scarely to the relation of the pedicle with the plate borderline of nearby two segment,but affected obviously far from three segment on the normal lumbar X-ray film;the accurate rate of one time 's setpoint in clinical application was 96%,average operation 's time being 96 minute,average lose blood being 212 ml,transverse articular process 's group showed significant difference.[Conclusion]Individualized localization of the lumbar pedicle screw entrance points by vertebral plate borderline is one of feasible method,displayed less trauma and accurate rate highly in the clinical application.
ABSTRACT
[Objective]To evaluate the radiographic and clinical results of locking compression plate and interlocking intramedullary nail in the treatment of distal tibial shaft fracture(4 to 11cm proximal to tibiotalar joint).[Method]A total of 65 cases of distal tibia shaft fractures were retrospectively reviewed from 2003 to 2007.Thirty-seven cases were treated with locking compression plate as group A,and 28 cases were treated with interlocking intramedullary nail as group B.According to AO classification system,32 cases were type A,12 were type B,21 were type C.[Result]All cases were followed up for 12-24 months(mean,16.5 months).Five cases were found delayed or nonunion,with 1 case in group A and 4 cases in group B.One case in group A and 2 cases in group B were found developed deep infection.Two cases in group A and 8 cases in group B received second operation.The good-to-excellent rates of ankle joint function were 91.9% in group A and 71.4% in group B.The good-to-excellent rates of knee joint function were 97.3% in group A and 78.6% in group B.[Conclusion]Distal tibial shaft fracture could be treated successfully with either percutaneous plates or intramedullary nails.Percutaneous locking plate is better than intramedullary nail in aspect of prevention of delayed union,malunion and second operation.
