All of them were examined with ECT, radiograph, osteocalcin measurement and histological observation in 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks postoperatively. Treatment of tibia long segmental necrosis with covering of cutaneous-gastrocnemius flap in 436 patiens were reviewed.ResultAbsorptive radioactivity in arterio-phase and delay-phase of ECT in experimental group were higher than those in control group(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the applied value of combined flap that was anastomosed a set of blood vessels. Methods This team includs 26 cases, all cases were injured in traffic accident. The wound parts were knee, calf or ankle. All skin defaults was combined with osseous exposure, chronic inflammation and the wound area was huge. So all cases were terminal repair. After drastically debriding,the wound was repaired through transplanting combined flap that was anastomosed a set of blood vessels. The 6 types flaps were selected. It demonstrates signs of adequate circulation. Its longest was 70 cm, its largest was 42 cm x 42 cm. Results All flaps were alive, the wounds were closed up, the fractures were healed up, the feet or calves were reserved. All above was condition for function reservation. Conclusion THe applying of combined flap that anastomosed a set of blood vessels could substitutes the built-up flaps that was anastomosed a group of blood vessels. The procedure have spent smaller time, and have higher successful ratio. So it would be prone to applying and popularizing in clinical.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the available methods in repairing and restoring the composite tissue defects after trauma of the lower extremities Methods One hundred and sixty four cases were studied in this article,each has a large area of skin defect and soft tissue defect,or combined with other tissue defects such as bone,muscle tendon,blood vessel,while blood supply to the foot of the injuried limb in all the cases was deficiency of bloodless which we called"sever trauma of the lower limb" According to the varied tissue defects and its injuried degree,five operating procedures were designed and introduced Result None of the limbs was severed,a 5～10 year follow up found a good result in 96 3% in all the cases Conclusion The five surgical means mentioned above were satisfied in repairing and restoring varied tissue defects following severe trauma of the lower limbs,and the injuried limbs may be saved
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of operation on transplanted fibula healing,which repaired long and thick and burnden bone defects by two fibula compound transplanation under periosteum with vascular loop. Methods Seventy-two healthy rabbits were divided randomly into three groups.Group A is the mono-fibular transplanation group;group B,the double fibular transplanation extra-periosteum and group C,the double fibular transplanation under-periosteum.Each group consisted of 24 rabbits.Animal models of 10mm tibial defects were established and three operation patterns were performed.the serum were obtained to determine the level of ALP and BGP bone and mineral density and biomechanic index at 2,4,8,12,16 weeks.4 rabbits of each group were examined roentgenographically and histologically.the condition of the bone healing and contour were observed.The different effects of each operation were compared with such observation index. Results The X-ray showed that the area of the external callus were larger in C groups than that in A,B and eht bone trabecula were in order,the fibula showed significant bone hypertrophy.the serum ALP,BGP and mineral density level were higher in C group than that in A,B.the difference has statistical significance (P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effective method of the treatment of the infective, complex defect of skin and bone in crus. Methods On the basis of through anti-infection, the infective surface of wound with bone and skin complex defect was completely debrided. The infective and necrotic skin and bone were moved away, and the wound surface was covered with flaps having abundant circulation. The anti-infection therapy was continued after operation. When the infection healed and the normal skin covered the wound, the bone defect was renovated at the second stage. Result The transplanted flaps all survived and the skin covering the wound remained normal. After the follow-up of four to five years, all the transplanted bones healed completely. No limbs were amputured because of wound infection or the complex defect of bone and skin. Conclusion After the infective surface of wound was completely debrided, the skin defect was renovated with flaps having abundant circulation. On the basis of infection being totally cured, the lone-piece-bone defect was renovated. This method can maintain the limbs and creat conditon for the functional recovery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the ways of repairing the large long-bone and skin defects as single stage procedures. Methods Five clinic cases were studied, firstly, the arteriae fibularis were restructuered into one or two vaso-nasa which nourished the related fibula segments and the overlying skin, then, binding all of the fibula segments and turn it into a bulky bone with a periosteal vaso-nasa wraparound. The graft was rich in blood supply so osteogenesis activity was vigorous under the periostum, the interspace in the graft soon disappear and the graft increased in diameter gradually. Results All of the harvested skin flaps survived and the wound healed on schedule, besides, the involved fractures were union 1 year later and the grafts were strong enough for weight-bearing and walking 2 year later, Neither fracture occur nor morbidity was created at the donor site, No problem was caused at the ankle. Conclusions It's appropriate way to repair large long-bone and skin defects with a vascularized fibula segments complex transfer incorporationg the overlying skin that was supplied via the same peroneal vessel pedicle.
ABSTRACT
Eighteen Chinese mongrel dogs were divided into 3 groups randomly according to the given environment: normal environment (NE) group, hot and humid environment (HHE) group, heat acclimatization (HA) group. The dynamic changes in the lymphocyte subsets with CD4 + , CD8 + ,CD11a + ,CD11b + expressions and neutrophil with CD11a and CD11b expressions in peripheral blood were detected post trauma using mAb FACS immuno fluerescence technique. In HHE group, there was a temporary increase (1h) and prolonged decrease (10h) in CD4 + subset, with an increase in CD8 + subset (4h later), resulting in final decrease in CD4 + /CD8 + ratio. In addition, CD11a + T cell decreased 8h later, with a mild change in CD11b + subset. The mechanism is unclear presently. Adaptive training seemed to raise the level of CD4 + and CD11a + lymphocyte subsets and suppress the expression of CD8 + subset. The expression of CD11a and CD11b in NE group increased immediately after injury, presenting a second peak at 4h. The second peak with a higher level was also observed in HHE group, but its duration was shorter than that of the NE group. Heat acclimatization lowered the level of the second peak, though it was remarkably prolonged. Changes in lymphocyte subsets and adhesion molecules of neutrophil suggested that hot and humid environment might suppress the immunity after gunshot injuries, while adaptive exercise could blunt the immunosuppressive response.
