ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the surgical technique and effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the valgus knee in adult.Methods Retrospective analysis the clinical data from 2015 January to 2017 May of 38 patients with 40 knees treated in our hospital.Age 46-73(61 ±4.2) years old.The femur-tibia angle (FTA) was 7°-35 ° (11 ° ± 4.3 °),the average range of motion (ROM) was 115 ° ± 10°,the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score was 21-65 (43 ± 8.6).All cases were corrected deformity and improved function by TKA.Results 38 patients were followed up 6 months to 3 years.All patients had no severe pain and dysfunction.The postoperative FTA was 1 °-7°(4 ± 3°),the average ROM was 115° ± 10°,the HSS score was 76 ± 14,showing significant difference compared with preoperative data (P < 0.05).Conclusions The TKA is a conventional therapy for valgus deformed knee in adult.By appropriate approach,precise osteotomy,accurate soft tissue balance,satisfactory joint function and effectiveness can be achieved.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To determine the curative effect of arthroscopic suture anchor fixation on shoulder bankart injury.@*METHODS@#Sixteen patients with shoulder recurrent dislocation and diagnosed bankart injury were treated with suture anchor fixed by shoulder arthroscopy. Both shoulders of the patients had X-ray, MRI, physical examination before the operation. Suture anchors were used to fix the lesion labrum by shoulder arthroscopy. University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were adopted for the final evaluation at the latest follow-up.@*RESULTS@#All patients were followed for a period of 25 (7-68) months. At the latest follow-up, no redislocation and instability occured. The pre- and post-operation UCLA score was (20.8 ± 0.8) vs (32.9 ± 1.5), excellent in 6, good in 10, with no poor score, while the pre- and post-operation VAS score was (3.3 ± 0.8) vs (0.6 ± 0.5).@*CONCLUSION@#Suture anchor fixation guided by arthroscopy is good for bankart injury caused by recurrent shoulder dislocation, which has many advantages, such as mini-invasion, rapid recovery and a satisfactory outcome in function and motion.
