ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the role of TiRobot combined with O-arm assisted closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation in unstable pelvic fracture surgery.Methods:Twelve patients with unstable pelvic fractures, 7 males and 5 females, aged 39.41±12.56 years (range 25-60 years), admitted from January 2020 to January 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. The duration between injury and surgery was 9.67±5.81 d (range 4-24 d). The following are the causes of injury, namely traffic injury in 6 cases, fall from height injury in 4 cases, crush injury in 2 cases. Tile type of pelvic fractures were 3 cases of type B (2 cases of type B2, 1 case of type B3), 9 cases of type C (4 cases of type C1, 3 cases of type C2, 2 cases of type C3). Sacral fractures with Denis division were 5 cases of zone I, 7 cases of zone II. Seven patients were repositioned by intraoperative traction on the injured side of the limb and maintained by fixation with a Starr frame. Two cases were repositioned by intraoperative longitudinal bone traction on each lower limb for fracture displacement. The other 3 B-type fractures were repositioned by inserting Schanz nails into the anterior inferior iliac spine bilaterally. Then, the fractures were maintained with external pelvic fixators. The fractures were assessed by O-arm fluoroscopy. Hollow screws were placed with the aid of orthopedic robotic guidance, and the screw positions were verified by O-arm fluoroscopy again after the nail placement. The duration of each screw placement and operation were recorded. The quality of fracture repositioning, hip function and postoperative complications were observed at the follow-up.Results:All patients were followed up for 8.17±1.99 months (range, 6-12 months). There were 27 screws inserted in 12 patients, with a single screw insertion duration of 19.9±1.8 min (range, 9-31 min). In all patients, one O-arm fluoroscopy was performed in each row after closed reduction and after completion of nail placement. The operative duration was 257.78±80.63 min (range, 160-450 min). The O-arm fluoroscopy after nail placement verified that 23 screws were placed in a satisfactory position at one time, with satisfactory rate of 85% (23/27) for the first nail placement. Two patients with preoperative grade II sacral plexus nerve injury recovered to grade I in one case and grade II in one case. However, the numbness was reduced after operation. No further aggravation of nerve injury occurred after surgery. The quality of fracture repositioning was evaluated according to the Matta score, including excellent in 9 cases, good in 2 cases, and acceptable in 1 case, with an excellent rate of 92% (11/12). At the last follow-up, the Majeed pelvic fracture quantitative assessment system scored 85.75±5.82 (range, 74-96). There were 8 cases in excellent and 4 cases in good. Twelve patients had one-stage wound healing. No complications, such as incision infection, nerve injury, loosening and breaking of the internal fixation occurred during the follow-up.Conclusion:TiRobot combined with O-arm assisted closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation for unstable pelvic fractures has some advantages, including safety, precision, convenient nail placement, and less fluoroscopic radiation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effects of weight-bearing area compression injury of the femoral head on the prognosis of elderly acetabular fractures after open reduction and internal fixation.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 36 elderly patients with acetabular fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation during January 2014 to January 2018 were conducted. All patients with compression injury of the weight-bearing area of the femoral head, including 22 males and 14 females with 73.2±6.5 years old (range 60-87 years old), were included. The compression injury of weight-bearing area of the femoral head was not treated. According to the Letournel-Judet classification of acetabular fractures, there were 14 cases with both-column, 12 cases with anterior column and posterior hemitransverse, 4 cases with T type, 4 cases with transverse, and 2 cases with posterior column+ posterior wall. A total of 14 cases were accompanied by acetabular joint surface compression, while 29 cases were accompanied by joint dislocation. The Merle d'Aubigné score was used to evaluate the hip function during follow-up. The Matta classification method was used to evaluate the results of acetabular fracture reduction. The Kellgren-Lawrence classification standard and Ficat-Alert staging method were used to evaluate the traumatic arthritis of the hip and femoral head necrosis, respectively. During the follow-up, the femoral head necrosis with stage III, IV, or traumatic arthritis III, IV, or with indications for joint replacement was defined as surgery failure. CT scans of the pelvis were performed before and at 2-5 days after operation. The compression size of the femoral head on the coronal and axial planes of the CT scan was calculated for the compression volume. The compression severity was divided into small (<1 cm 3), medium (1-2 cm 3) and large (>2 cm 3) according to the volume. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze whether the postoperative measurement of the femoral head compression volume was associated with the risk of surgical failure. Results:All patients were followed up for 34.7±8.9 months (range 25-54 months). There were 7 cases with large compression of femoral head, 14 cases with medium, and 15 cases with small pre-operatively. However, there were 12 cases, 10 cases and 14 cases with large, medium and small at 2-5 days after operation, respectively. Six cases were excellent reduction, 22 cases were good, and 8 cases were poor. Thus, the excellent and good rate was 78% (28/36). At the last follow-up, Merle d'Aubigné score was excellent in 2 cases, good in 8 cases, fair in 5 cases, and poor in 21 cases. The excellent and good rate was 28% (10/36). There were 20 cases with surgery failure with 56% (20/36) failure rate. There were no statistically significant differences in the patient's age, body mass index, operation duration, blood volume, fracture type, fracture reduction, combined acetabular joint surface compression, and combined joint dislocation between the two groups. However, there was a statistically significant difference in the frequency distribution of compression volume in the weight-bearing area of the femoral head after surgery (χ 2=22.047, P<0.001). In patients with large, medium, and small-volume compression of the femoral head weight-bearing area, the surgery failure rates were 92%, 80%, and 7%, respectively. The large and medium-volume compression of the femoral head weight-bearing area were independent risk factors for surgical failure. Conclusion:Open reduction and internal fixation can be used to treat elderly patients with acetabular fractures combined with femoral head compression injury. Despite satisfactory reduction for acetabular fractures, the larger volume of femoral head compression affects the clinical outcomes with extremely high rate of surgical failure within 2 years.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of lacunar closure-assisted internal fixation in the one-stage treatment of Morel-Lavallée injury complicated with pelvic fracture.Methods:The 32 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated for Morel-Lavallée injury complicated with pelvic fracture at Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from May 2018 to November 2020. They were 21 males and 11 females, aged from 18 to 58 years (average, 40.5 years). The injury was located at a unilateral hip in 20 cases, at bilateral hips in 6 cases, at low back in 4 cases, and at posterior thigh in 2 cases. The pelvic fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation while the Morel-Lavallée injuries by lacunar closure at the same time. Their wound healing, pelvic function and complications were observed regularly.Results:The hospital stay of 32 patients ranged from 14 to 28 days, averaging 19.2 days. The patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months (mean, 9.3 months). The area of Morel-Lavallée injury healed after one lacunar closure in 23 patients who obtained fine skin survival and no soft tissue necrosis or other complications; the wounds in the Morel-Lavallée injury area healed well after secondary lacunae closure in 4 patients. Superficial sensation of the skin decreased around the Morel-Lavallée injury area after wound healing in 3 patients. Wound fat liquefaction was found in the Morel-Lavallée injury area but responded to symptomatic treatment in one patient. A small amount of wound secretion found in the Morel-Lavallée injury area was cured also by symptomatic treatment in another patient whose bacterial culture was negative. All the fractures healed after 3 to 6 months (average, 3.9 months). At the last follow-up, the Majeed scores for the pelvic function ranged from 65 to 100 points, averaging 84.5 points.Conclusion:For Morel-Lavallée injury complicated with pelvic fracture, lacunar closure-assisted internal fixation can result in a satisfactory one-stage treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the application of Doppler ultrasound to assess the stability of pelvic ring in treatment of lateral-compression-1 (LC-1) pelvic fractures.@*Methods@#For this prospective study 38 patients with LC-1 pelvic fracture were enrolled who had been admitted to the Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Honghui Hospital from July 2016 to November 2017. They were 22 men and 16 women with an age of 55.2±16.1 years. After the patient's condition was stable, they underwent a Doppler ultrasound examination in the pelvic compression separation test. According to the criteria preset: those with a left-right mobility ≥ 0.3 cm were assigned as an unstable group (16 cases) and those with a mobility<0.3 cm as a stable group (22 cases). The stable group received conservative treatment while the unstable group surgical treatment. The 2 groups were compared in terms of mobility of fracture ends, follow-up time, weight-bearing time, fracture healing time, and the Majeed scores of pelvic function at the last follow-up.@*Results@#The 2 groups were compatible due to their insignificant differences in baseline data(P>0.05). The mobility of fracture ends (left-right distance: 0.45±0.22 cm; anterior-posterior distance: 0.26±0.16 cm; oblique distance: 0.50±0.23 cm) in the unstable group was all significantly greater than in the stable group (left-right distance: 0.11±0.03 cm; anterior-posterior distance: 0.05±0.04 cm; oblique distance: 0.11±0.07 cm) (P<0.05). The weight-bearing time in the stable group (0.9±0.5 months) was significantly shorter than that in the unstable group (1.9±2.0 months) (Z=-2.353, P=0.019). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in follow-up time (13.9±3.8 months versus 15.1±3.0 months), fracture healing time (4.6±1.3 months versus 4.5±1.2 months) or the Majeed scores (84.8±6.4 versus 80.3±12.2) (all P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#Since ultrasonography is helpful in assessment of the stability of LC-1 pelvic fractures, a proper treatment strategy can be decided. Stable ones can be treated conservatively and unstable ones surgically.

ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the perioperative incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and level of plasma D-dimer between different ages in patients with lower limb fracture in Northwest China.Methods The data were retrospectively analyzed of the 1,185 patients with lower limb fracture in 5 provinces in Northwest China from July 2014 to March 2017.They were 583 males and 602 femals,with an average of 60.3 years(from 18 to 102 years).Of them,723 were from Shaanxi Province,148 from Gansu Province,137 from Qinghai Province,128 from Ningxia Hui Nationality Autonomous Regions and 49 from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.They were divided into a young group (≤44 years old) (n =288),a middle-aged group (from 45 to 59 years old) (n =256),a junior elderly group (from 60 to 74 years old) (n =263),and a senior elderly group (≥75 years old) (n =378).The incidences of perioperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and levels of plasma D-dimer were compared between the 4 age groups.Results The DVT incidences before and after operation in the young group were significantly lower than in the other 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05);the DVT incidence after operation in the middle-aged group was significantly lower than that in the junior elderly group (P ＜ 0.05).The pre-and post-operative levels of plasma D-dimer increased with the age of the patients;the pre-and post-operative levels of plasma D-dimer in the senior elderly group were significantly higher than in the other 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The perioperative incidence of DVT was high in the elderly patients with lower limb fracture in Northwest China,peaking in the age range from 60 to 74 years old.The pre-and post-operative levels of plasma D-dimer increased with the age of the patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of contralateral less invasive stabilization system (LISS) through a medial-posterior approach for fractures of femoral medial condyle.Methods From December 2010 to December 2014,14 patients with fracture of femoral medial condyle were treated surgically at our department.They were 10 males and 4 females,aged from 33 to 64 years (average,44.6 years).By AO classification,10 cases were type 33-B2 and 4 cases type 33-B3.Causes of injury included traffic accident in 7 cases,falling in 6 and heavy object crush in one.Internals from injury to operation ranged from 3 to 10 days (average,5.4 days).All the patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with contralateral LISS plate or T plate through a knee medial posterior approach.Results The 14 patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months (average,18 months).All fractures got bony healing after 3 to 5 months (average,3.5 months).No collapse of joint surface,joint stiffness,joint infection,malunion or nonunion occurred.According to the Schatzker-Lambert criteria for functional recovery of the distal femoral fractures,the function of the affected knee was assessed at the last follow-up as excellent in 9 cases,good in 3,fair in one and poor in one.Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation with contralateral LISS plate through a medial-posterior approach is effective for fractures of femoral medial condyle due to its strong buttress,rigid fixation,advantage for early functional exercise,and satisfactory therapeutic outcome.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical treatment of unstable pelvic fractures by posterior ring fixation using percutaneous minimally invasive pedicle screws following anterior ring fixation.Methods From January 2010 to January 2016,31 patients with unstable pelvic fracture were treated at our department.They were 20 males and 11 females,with an average age of 44.4 years (range,from 18 to 65 years).According to the Tile classification,6 cases were type B2,8 cases type B3,12 cases type C1,and 5 cases type C2.The anterior pelvic ring was fixated in supine position first,and the posterior pelvic ring was fixated next using percutaneous minimally invasive pedicle screws.The operation time,intraoperative bleeding,and frequency of fluoroscopy needed for the posterior ring fixation were recorded.Reduction quality,complications like loss of reduction and pelvic function at the final follow-up were also assessed.Results For the posterior ring fixation in the 31 patients,the operation time ranged from 40 to 60 minutes (average,50.7 minutes),blood loss from 30 to 80 mL (average,42.9 mL),and fluoroscopic frequency from 7 to 12 times (average,9.7 times).By the Tornetta evaluation,the reduction was rated postoperatively as excellent in 15 cases and as good in 16 ones,yielding an excellent and good rate of 100％.Twenty-nine patients obtained complete follow-up for 12 to 83 months (average,34.7 months),and they achieved bone union after an average of 14.5 weeks (range,from 12 to 16 weeks).According to the Majeed criteria for pelvic function at the final follow-up,10 cases were rated as excellent,16 cases as good,and 3 cases as fair,giving an excellent and good rate of 89.7％.No reduction loss,incision infection,vascular or nerve injury,screw loosening or breakage,or fracture displacement was observed during follow-up.Conclusion In the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures,posterior ring fixation using percutaneous minimally invasive pedicle screws following anterior ring fixation can lead to less operation time,intraoperative bleeding and fluoroscopic radiation,and satisfactory fracture reduction and functional recovery of the pelvis as well.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the incidence of and risk factors for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) at the uninjured limb during hospitalization in patients with lower extremity fracture. Methods The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed of the 494 patients who had been hospitalized for lower extremity fracture at Department of Orthopedics, Honghui Hospital from September 1, 2014 to October 1, 2017. They were 228 males and 266 females with an average age of 58.9 ± 18.9 years ( from 16 to 94 years ) . 290 fractures occurred proximally to the knee, 101 fractures around the knee and 103 fractures distally to the knee. They received anticoagulant prophylaxis or treatment during hospitalization. After operation, they were examined with Doppler sonography for bilateral lower limbs to detect occurrence of thrombus. The incidence of DVT at the uninjured limb during hospitalization was recorded and its possible risk factors were analyzed statistically. The possible risk factors ( gender, age, fracture type, body mass index, concomitant internal disease, time from injury to surgery, time from surgery to discharge, American Society of Anesthesiologists rating, operation duration, blood loss, fluid infusion volume and D-dimer level ) were screened by single factor logistic regression analysis and the major independent risk factors were determined by multi-factor logistic re-gression analysis.Results DVT occurred at the injured limb during hospitalization in 237 cases ( 47.97%). Of them, 221 ( 44.74%) had peripheral thrombus, 7 central thrombus ( 1.42%) and 9 mixed thrombus ( 1.82%). DVT occurred at the uninjured limb during hospitalization in 98 cases ( 19.84%). Of them, 90 (18.2%) had peripheral thrombus, one central thrombus (0.2%) and 7 mixed thrombus (1.4%). Of the 98 patients with DVT at the uninjured limb, 74 (75.51%) had DVT at both lower limbs and 24 (24.49%) had DVT only at the uninjured limb. Age and D-dimer level one day after surgery were independent risk factors for DVT at the uninjured limb during hospitalization. Conclusions The incidence of actual DVT at the unin-jured limb in patients with lower extremity fracture cannot be ignored in spite of use of anticoagulants for pro-phylaxis or treatment during hospitalization. We should also be aware that age and D-dimer level one day after surgery are independent risk factors for DVT at the uninjured limb during hospitalization.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes in patients with both column acetabular fractures involvement posterior wall using lag screw through single ilioinguinal approach.Methods Between August 2008 to August 2014,35 consecutive patients with both columns acetabular fractures and fracture also involved posterior wall and fixed by lag screws were retrospectively analyzed.There were 25 males and 10 females.The average age was 44.4+ 12.5 years (range,18-72 years).According to Letournel classifications,the acetabular fracture involved both columns and posterior wall in all cases,and 2 cases with additional seagull sign.The surgeon reduced posterior wall by pressing the fragment through a small tunnel in the soft tissue leaning against the external cortex of iliac bone and fixed the fragment using lag screws from the anterior side.Clinical and functional outcomes were assessed using the modified Merle d'Aubigné scoring system.Radiographic results were evaluated based on Matta scoring system.Results The patients were follow for an average of 44.7+ 18.9 months (range,24-96 months).The average operative time was 257.7±60.4 min (range,160-490 min).The average blood loss during the operating was 742.9±+614.5 ml (range,300-4 000 ml).Loss of reduction of the posterior wall was not found in any case.At the latest follow-up,radiographic results were excellent in 11,good in 19,and poor in 5.The average modified Merle d'Aubigné score was 16.4 (range,13-18).There were 8 cases of excellent,23 cases of good,and 4 cases of fair.Four patients developed deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities after 3-4 days of operation.Warfarin was used for anticoagulation therapy and thrombi disappeared 6 months postoperatively.One case had superficial wound infection and was treat with vacuum sealed drainage (VSD) and anti-infection therapy.The incision healed without infection after one month.One case with poor quality of reduction and remaining seagull sign was treated with total hip arthroplasty after 35 months because of severe traumatic arthritis.The total reoperation rate was 5.7％ (2/35).latrogenic sciatic nerve injury as well as heterotopic ossification was not found in any case.Conclusion Satisfactory quality of reduction and good clinical outcomes can be achieved in patients with acetabular fractures involved both columns and posterior wall by single ilioinguinal approach and lag screw fixation for posterior wall.Iatrogenic sciatic nerve injury as well as heterotopic ossification was not found in any case.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the effect of preoperative administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) on the hidden blood loss in the surgery of intertrochanteric fractures with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA).Methods Eighty patients with intertrochanteric fracture were treated with PFNA in our hospital from November 2015 to July 2016.They were 15 men and 65 women,with a mean age of 72.6 years.Of them,39 were included into TXA group where TXA was administered preoperatively and 41 were assigned into the control group where no TXA was used preoperatively.Blood routine examinations were carried out on one day before operation,the first and third days after operation.The surgical blood loss,operative blood transfusion,24-hour drainage after operation,and postoperative 3-day blood transfusion were recorded.The total and hidden blood losses were calculated according to the formula.The 2 groups were compared in terms of blood loss and complications.Results In TXA group,the total blood loss (1,632.3 ± 849.2 mL),the hidden blood loss (1,270.9 ± 623.3 mL) and the transfusion rate (28.2％) were significantly lower than those in the control group (2,014.8 ± 924.7 mL,1,549.1 ± 624.9 mL and 56.1％) (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in visible blood loss (361.4 ± 154.3 mL for TXA group versus 465.7 ± 191.3 mL for the control group) (P ＞ 0.05).Deep venous thrombosis occurred in 2 patients,limb swelling in one patient and wound dehiscence in one patient in TXA group while deep venous thrombosis occurred in one patient,limb swelling in 3 patients and wound dehiscence in none in the control group,showing no significant differences between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).No infection was observed in either group.Conclusion Preoperative administration of TXA can reduce surgical hidden blood loss and transfusion rate as well but will not increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis in the surgery of intertrochanteric fractures with PFNA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of ilioinguinal approach with short infrapectineal buttress plate fixing posterior column for patients with complex acetabular fractures. Methods Data of 29 consecutive patients (male 22, fe?male 7, age range 25-72 years, average age 53 ± 6.3 years) with complex acetabular who had operated by single ilioinguinal ap?proach with infrapectineal buttress plate from September 2008 to August 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. According to Letour?nel?Judet classifications, there were 4 cases of anterior column and posterior hemi?transverse, 11 cases of associated both?column, 4 of T?shaped and 6 with seagull sign. The acetabular fractures model was printed preoperatively by 3D printing technique for sur?gical simulation, open reduction and internal fixation through single ilioinguinal approach with a short infrapectineal plate fixing posterior column, particularly an ox horn shape K?wire sleeve was developed for drilling and screw insertion using flexible screw?driver. Clinical, radiographic, and functional outcomes assessed by the modified Merle d’Aubigné score were collected. Results Two patients were lost to follow?up, including one patient who died at 15 days postoperative because of pulmonary embolism, and the other one who had moved abroad at 12 months postoperative. The remaining 27 (93%) had a mean follow?up of 40 months (range, 24-75 months). The operating time was 180±35.5 min;the time for the fracture union was 3.5±0.9 month;blood loss during the operating was 500±43.9 ml;no case had fracture re?displacement. At the latest follow?up, radiographic grades were excellent in 17, good in 8, poor in 4, including one poor patient who had a total hip arthroplasty (3%) at 35 months after the internal fixation. The average modified Merle d’Aubigné score was 16 (range, 10-18), and categorized as excellent in 12, good in 8, fair in 5, and poor in 2. Three patients had developed deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, and one of them died of pulmonary embo?lism 15 days after operation; two cases of deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity were found 3-4 days after operation. Thrombosis disappeared 6 months after anticoagulant therapy by warfarin. One case who had superficial wound infection after oper?ation was treated by anti?infection and VSD negative pressure, and incision was healed after one month. One case with poor quality of fracture reduction and seagull sign was treated with total hip arthroplasty after 35 months because of traumatic arthritis. The to?tal complication rate was 24%(7/29). Conclusion In the patient with complex acetabular fractures combining posterior column medial displacement, single Ilioinguinal approach with infrapectineal buttress plates could achieve a stable concentric hip joint, and immediate postoperative ambulation can result in reasonable clinical, radiographic, and functional outcomes.
