ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the relationship between serum matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1) and matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) and the formation of deep venous thrombosis(LDVT) in lower extremity patients after surgery for lower extremity fracture, and to analyze the value of MMP-1 and MMP-2 in predicting the occurrence of LDVT after lower extremity fracture.@*METHODS@#From June 2018 to December 2021, 352 patients who planned to receive surgical treatment of lower limb fracture in our hospital were selected as the research objects. Venous blood was collected at 1, 2 and 3 days after surgery, respectively, and serum MMP-1 and MMP-2 levels were detected. The incidence of LDVT during hospitalization was analyzed, and the risk factors of postoperative LDVT in patients with lower limb fracture surgery and the predictive value of MMP-1 and MMP-2 for LDVT were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#LDVT occurred in 40 patients (LDVT group), the incidence of LDVT was 11.36%, and 312 patients did not occurred(no occurred group). The serum levels of MMP-1 and MMP-2 in LDVT group increased gradually after surgery; the serum levels of MMP-1 and MMP-2 in the no occurred group increased slightly after surgery at 2 days and then decreased at 3 days after surgery (P<0.01);the serum levels of MMP-1 and MMP-2 in LDVT group were higher than those in the no occurred group at 2 days and 3 days after surgery (P<0.05). Serum levels of MMP-1 and MMP-2 were positively correlated with serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α) in LDVT patients at 2 days and 3 days postoperatively (P<0.05). Operative time, MMP-1 and MMP-2 postoperative 3 days were related to the occurrence of LDVT after lower limb fracture (P<0.01). The area under the curve(AUC) predicted by MMP-1 and MMP-2 postoperative 3 days for LDVT after lower limb fracture was 0.738 and 0.744 respectively, and the AUC predicted by combined MMP-1 and MMP-2 was 0.910, which was higher than that predicted by single indicator(Z=2.819 and 2.025, P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#High levels of MMP-1 and MMP-2 after lower extremity fracture are closely related to the occurrence of LDVT, and 3 d mMP-1 and MMP-2 after surgery maybe used as evaluation indexes for LDVT risk prediction.

Background: Open fractures of leg classified under type IIIB, those requiring free flap cover could be done as emergency procedure. The ideal timing has still remained controversial. Although it appears imperative to operate early and reduce length of hospital stay, costs, disability adjusted life years and put the patient back on his feet, our study was necessitated in the context of differing views regarding ideal timing of free flap.Methods: The prospective observational study was conducted for duration of 4 years between October 2015 to September 2019. Patients were taken up for free flap cover after optimization for the major surgery. Details of flap complications and the procedures for salvage were noted. At the end of one year following the injury, patient quality of life (PQOL) was tabulated for all patients.Results: Most common mode of injury was road traffic accidents. Early flaps were done in 28 and primary flaps in 22 patients. One patient had partial flap necrosis while 7 others had sub flap collections and partial flap necrosis. Duration of hospitalization was significantly lower in early flap cover group. PQOL measured with EQ-5D (EuroQol 5D) was significantly higher in the early flap covers.Conclusions: From our study we concluded that timing of free flap cover positively influenced clinical outcome of reduced hospitalization, although there was no relation of timing of free flap to flap or bone complications. The functional outcome measured by PQOL was significantly higher in patients who had microvascular reconstruction early.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application of ultrasound-guided femoral and sciatic nerve blocks combined with general anesthesia in lower limb fracture surgery.Methods Sixty four patients who received orthopaedics surgerywere randomly divided into two groups including combined group(n =32),control group (n =32).Control group was given general anesthesia alone,combined group was givengeneral anesthesia combined with ultrasound-guided femoral and sciatic nerve blocks.The intraoperative hemodynamic state at different time,anesthetic dosage,and agitation after waking upbetween two groups were compared.Results Compared with T1 moment,HR and MAP at T2 moment in both groups were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05),while all these indicators at T3-T5 moment had no significant difference compared with the T1 moment in combined group (P ＞ 0.05),while the difference was significant in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with control group,combined group had less intraoperative propofoland fentanyl dosage during the surgery,shorter awakening timeand extubation time,and the difference had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of agitation after waking up and degree of agitation was significantly decreased in combined group than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound-guided nerve blockade combined with general anesthesia for lower limb fracture surgery,canmaintain the stability of intraoperative hemodynamics,reduce the dosage of analgesic drugs,and promote early awakening and extubation.

ABSTRACT
Objective To introduce a self- assembled adjustable traction frame for the patients with severe trauma and lower limb fracture in ICU, compared with Brawns traction frame. Methods 96 patients with severe trauma and lower limb fracture diagnosed by clinical signs and X-ray who had to be transferred to ICU were randomly divided into the study group (46 cases) and the control group (50 cases) by sealing letters method.The study group were tracted by the self-assembled adjustable traction frame, and the control group were tracted by the Brawns traction frame. The fracture alignment, degree of pain, incidence of pressure ulcers, nursing limit time of changing the sheets of the two groups were observed. Results The results declared that 37 cases with 2 pain score points, 9 cases with 0-1 points in the study group and 19 cases with 2 pain score points, 3 cases with 0-1 points, 28 cases with Grade 3 in the control group (χ2=38.683, P<0.01). In the control group, pressure ulcer were occurred, 5 of them at Level one, 1 of them at Level two, 1 of them at Level three and the incidence rate was 14.00% (7/50). In the study group, pressure ulcer were occurred, 1 of them at Level two and the incidence rate was 2.17%(1/46). The pain level and incidence of pressure sore in the study group were decreased and the difference between the two groups was significant (χ2=8.197, P < 0.05). Conclusions The self-assembly adjustable traction rack can not only ensure the same effect as the Brawns traction frame but also reduce the deficiency caused by Brown traction frame.

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To evaluate the results and the usefulness of the external fixator for the treatment of the lower limb fractures in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used 22 children fractures of lower limb treated with external fixator. There were 14 isolated femur or tibia fractures, 2 both femur and tibia fractures, 1 bilateral tibial fractures, 5 fractures associated with others, and were 10 open and 16 closed fracture. We assessed the axial alignment and leg-length discrepancy, and the range of motion of the joints and complications. RESULTS: The average union and fixation time were 8.1 and 9.5 weeks. Average of 2.4 degrees of varus or valgus and 3.8 degrees of anterior or posterior angulation were obtained. At follow-up, the range of LLD was -1.3 to +1.5cm. CONCLUSION: External fixator in lower limb fractures of children is useful to open fractures, multiple fractures, and unstable fractures to minimize complications.
