ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:There were certain differences in the anatomical structure of knee joint between man and woman. Gender knee solution is a new type of artificial knee joint prosthesis, which is specialy designed for women. Theoreticaly, the outcome of unisex total knee arthroplasty prosthesis should be related to gender, but we did not find very obvious differences in practical clinical work. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the differences in curative effects of the unisex knee arthroplasty prosthesis between male and female patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty so as to find out if it is necessary to apply female knee prosthesis among appropriate crowd. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty from May 2001 to June 2011. Among 312 patients (350 knees receiving total knee arthroplasty), patients who died within 3 years after surgery, lost to folow-up and underwent revision were excluded. Changes in knee functions and imaging were observed between males and females. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The women and men had similar mean pre-operative knee scores, flexion function, pain score among 285 patients (300 knees). However, the women had significantly lower mean extension function and function scores than the men. There were no significant differences in improvement in the knee scores, flexion, the pain and knee function between women and men before and after surgery. Nevertheless, men had better extension than women. No significant difference in radiolucencies and complications was seen between females and males. Therefore, there was little difference in outcomes between women and men who used the unisex total knee arthroplasty prosthesis.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The biomechanical studies about calcium sulfate cement vertebroplasty are only limited to the single fracture vertebra, not performed in spinal compression fracture unit with posterior transpedicular screw fixation. Furthermore, performing experimental study in the whole function spine unit (FSU) conforms to actual clinical situation. OBJECTIVE: To assess the biomechanical properties of calcium sulfate vertebroplasty combined with posterior transpedicular screw fixation in treatment of thoracolumbar compression fractures. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A controlled experiment was performed at the Biomechanical Laboratory of Shanghai University in March 2009. MATERIALS: Fifteen fresh thoracolumbar spines were harvested from male calves and made into T_(11)-L_1 FSU, then divided into 3 groups randomly: normal control group, posterior transpedicular screw fixation group and transpedicular screw fixation plus vertebroplasty group. METHODS: T_(12) flexion-compression fracture models were made in all specimens of posterior transpedicular screw fixation group and transpedicular screw fixation plus vertebroplasty group, undergoing reduction and posterior transpedicular screw fixation, and calcium sulfate vertebroplasty combined with posterior transpedicular screw fixation respectively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: All specimens were placed on the WE-10A universal testing machine for mechanical test. Load-straining, load-displacing, rigidity, strength and torsion of the FSU were performed in axial compression, flexion, extension and lateral bending states. The experimental outcomes were collected and compared by statistic analysis. RESULTS: The load-strain and loed-displacement showed a linear relationship. Straining values in vertebral body and intervertebral disc of calcium sulfate vertebroplasty plus posterior transpedicular screw fixation group were 14% and 12% less than that of posterior transpedicular screw fixation group, 21% and 13% less than that of normal control group. The thoracolumbar displacement in calcium sulfate vertebroplasty Plus posterior transpedicular screw fixation group decreased 25% and 37% as compared with other 2 groups respectively. Compared with normal control and posterior transpedicular screw fixation group, the thoracolumbar stiffness in calcium sulfate vertebroplasty plus posterior transpedicular screw fixation group increased 53% and 44% respectively. The strength in vertebral body and intervertebral disc of calcium sulfate vertebroplasty plus posterior transpedicular screw fixation group were 14% and 24% higher than that of posterior transpedicular screw fixation group, 13% and 20% higher than that of normal control group. The maximal twisting strength of FSU in calcium sulfate vertebroplasty plus posterior transpedicular screw fixation group were 18% and 30% higher than that of other 2 groups, the twisting stiffness were 30% and 40% higher than that of other 2 groups. The data above were significant differences statistically (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Posterior transpedicular screw fixation combined with calcium sulfate vertebroplasty show superior biomechanical properties for treatment of thoracolumbar compression fractures, which exhibits not only strong strength and stiffness, but also stable FSU, thus could decrease the stress loading of the internal fixation, the incidences of screw breakage and avoid the altitude loss of vertebral body.

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To study the effect and complications of percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty in treating osteoporotic spinal compression fractures.[Method]Eighteen patients with twenty-seven vertebras in group,PVP(percutaneous vertebroplasty)were performed in fourteen patients(twenty-three vertebras),PKP(percutaneous kyphoplasty)were performed in four patients(four vertebras),VAS(Visual analogue scale) and mobility were evaluated 3 days before and after operation.Relief of back pain、recovery of living ability and complications were observed in the follow-up.[Result]All patients were operated on successfully and their back pain relieved immediately after operation,VAS was distinctly decreased from(7.5?0.7)pre-operation to(2.5?0.6)at 3 day after operation with a significant difference(P

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To evaluate the clinical value in treatment of subtrochanteric fracture of the femur by dynamic condylar screw(DCS).[Method]This study retrospectively reviewed 29 patients who suffered from subtrochanteric fracture of the femur.There were 18 males,11 females,with an average age of 52.2 years.Seven cases were caused by traffic accident,8 cases caused by falling from hight,14 cases caused by pedestrian injury.According to Seinsheimer classification,there were 5 cases of typeⅡ(2 of typeⅡB,3 of typeⅡC),12 cases of typeⅢ(7 of type ⅢA,5 of type ⅢB),5 cases of type Ⅳ,7 cases of type Ⅴ.All patients accepted the treatment with traction reduction and dynamic condylar screw fixation and were fellowed up for 9~24 months(average 16 months).Outcoms were assessed by Sanders traumatic hip rating scale and postoperative complications were analyzed.[Result]All patients obtained bone union in average 3.5 months(3~5 months),Only one case who had obtained bone union suffered subtrochanteric refracture 16 months after operation because of plate breakage.All patients were encouraged to early exercise and walk by nonweight-bearing.There was no postoperative infection,deep venous thrombosis,internal fixation loosening,limb shortening and varus deformity.According to sanders traumatic hip rating scale,18 cases were excellent,10 cases were good,1case was fair.The excellent and good rate was 96.5%.[Conclusion]In treatment of subtrochanteric fracture of the femur,DCS not only maintain satisfying reduction with reliable fixation,but also prevent femoral shortening,rotation and varus deformity,thus get good curative effect,fast recovery,satisfying function and so on.So it is one of the best choices to heal subtrochanteric fracture.
