ABSTRACT
ObjectiveThe study aims to determine whether the horizontal posterior displacement of the distal clavicle in patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation can be corrected via the application of modified intraoperative axillary fluoroscopy. MethodsFrom February 2019 to April 2021， 50 patients with Rockwood type Ⅲ acromioclavicular joint dislocation eligible for inclusion were randomly divided into two groups： the normal （32 cases） and the experimental （18 cases）. The conventional anteroposterior position radiographs were obtained to detect the surgery effect on the patients in the normal group. In experimental group， modified intraoperative axillary radiographs were obtained， with the concept of polar coordinates introduced to reduce the horizontal posterior translation of the clavicle. Then we compared the perioperative parameters， such as average operative time， intraoperative blood loss between the two groups. The Constant score was used for assessing the postoperative function of the shoulder joint in the follow-up visits. ResultsNo statistically significant difference was found in gender， age， duration of injury， underlying diseases， intraoperative blood loss and operative time between the two groups. The postoperative shoulder function score of the experimental group was higher than that of the normal group. ConclusionsThe application of modified intraoperative axillary fluoroscopy is recommendable for accurately reducing posterior translation of the distal clavicle， and meanwhile helpful for the precise placement of the clavicular plate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To synthesize antimicrobial bioceramic using chitosan and calcium phosphate cements mixed with ceftriaxone sodium. Methods The bioceramic was synthesized through the hardening of chitosan liquid combined with calcium phosphate cements and cefiriaxone sodium.The released ceftriaxone sodium was studied according to the linear equation between UV-VIS absorbance to concentration.The in vitro bactefiostatic effect of the chosen bioceramic was investigated via the microbiological method.The model of rats'contaminated bone defect were deployed to study the antimicrobial performance of the bioceramic. Results The best synthesis condition was chosen at:0.1g calcium phosphate cements and 10.4 mg ceftriaxone sodium combined with 2.4 ml hardening liquid C.then keeping the mixture at 60℃ and 100%humidity for 24 h.In vitro release of the resulting antimicrobial bioceramic remained stable,while that of ceftriaxone sodium lasted for a week,higher than the minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) of Staphylococcus aureus.As proved by the WBC number and tissue sectioning,a lighter inflammatory response of treatment group was observed as compared with the control group. Conclusion The antimicrobial bioceramic combined with chitosan and ceftriaxone sodium shows promising antimicrobial performance.
