ABSTRACT
Objective To study far femoral malignant bone tumor salvage limb treatment with allogeneic heterotopic half-joint transplantation and the use of GSH nail Methods Eleven cases with far femoral malignant bone tumor were administered tumor resection,transplanted with allogeneic heterotoeic bone half-joint,and fixed with GSH nail Results Nine out of the 11 cases were followed up.None of them had infection,rejection or heterotopic bone fracture.All of them can move with walking after 6 months.The effects of surgery was rated as excellent for 3 cases,fine for 4 cases andbad for 2 cases according to Mankin's rating criteria.Conclusion Salvage limb treatment for bone tumor can improve patients' quality of life.Allogeneic heterotopic bone,with rich source and acceptable joint surface,is a good graft for the treatment of bone defect after bone tumor resection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To retrospectively report 30 cases of distal femoral fractures treated with retrograde intramedullary interlocking naill( GSH nail). Methods From February 1999 to December 2002, 30 cases of distal femoral fractures were treated with GSH nails.According to AO/ASIF classification system, there were 11 cases of type A1, 7 A2, 3 A3, 5 C1, 3 C2 ,and 1 C3 .The follow up period ranged from 6 to 54 months. Results The average time for bone healing was 16 weeks. According to Neer s knee rating scale, there were 21 excellent cases and 5 good; the excellent and good rate was 86.6% . Conclusion It's a good method to treat type A& C (AO/ASIF) distal femoral fractures with GSH nail.
