RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of full-endoscopic technique through the posterior cervical Delta large portal for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy and radiculopathy.Methods:The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively of the 15 patients who had been treated for cervical spondylotic myelopathy or radiculopathy at Orthopedics Department, Jiaxing Xiuzhou District People's Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021. There were 6 males and 9 females, aged from 54 to 76 years (average, 66.2 years). Responsible levels: 3 cases of C3, 4, 4 cases of C4, 5, 7 cases of C5, 6 and 1 case of C6, 7. They were all treated by full-endoscopic technique through the posterior cervical Delta large portal. The therapeutic efficacy was assessed by comparing the neck disability indexes (NDI) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) cervical scores at preoperation, 1 and 3 months post-operation, and the last follow-up, and the modified MacNab scores at the last follow-up. The operative effects on cervical curvature and segmental stability were assessed by comparing the C2-7 cobb angles and operative ranges of motion (ROM) at preoperation, 1 and 3 months postoperation, and the last follow-up.Results:All cases completed their operation successfully. The operation time ranged from 56 to 82 min (average, 65.7 min), and the intraoperative blood loss from 10 to 30 mL (average, 20.7 mL). Tissue infection, intraspinal infection, dural tear, nerve root injury or perioperative anesthesia-related complications occurred in none of the patients. All patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months (average 10.8 months). The NDIs at 1 and 3 months post-operation, and the last follow-up (18.54%±3.06%, 14.96%±2.33%, and 12.89%±2.33%) were significantly lower than that before operation (34.19%±3.83%), and those at 3 months postoperation and the last follow-up significantly lower than that at 1 month postoperation ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between 3 months postoperation and the last follow-up in NDI ( P>0.05). The JOA scores at 1 and 3 months postoperation, and the last follow-up [(12.28±1.65), (13.30±1.57) and (13.54±1.41) points] were significantly higher than the preoperative value [(9.25±1.49) points] ( P<0.05), but there was no such a significant difference between postoperative time points ( P>0.05). Comparisons between preoperation, 1 and 3 months postoperation, and the last follow-up showed no significant difference in the C2-7 cobb angle or operative ROM ( P>0.05). The modified MacNab scores at the last follow-up resulted in 9 excellent, 5 good and 1 fair cases. Conclusion:In the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy and radiculopathy, the full-endoscopic technique through the posterior cervical Delta large portal shows the advantages of limited invasion and complications, rapid recovery after operation, and little impact on the cervical curvature and segmental stability.
RESUMEN
Periarticular fracture of the shoulder is a common type of fractures in the elderly. Postoperative adverse events such as internal fixation failure, humeral head ischemic necrosis and upper limb dysfunction occur frequently, which seriously endangers the exercise and health of the elderly. Compared with the fracture with normal bone mass, the osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder is complicated with slow healing and poor rehabilitation, so the clinical management becomes more difficult. At present, there is no targeted guideline or consensus for this type of fracture in China. In such context, experts from Youth Osteoporosis Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatrics Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Osteoporosis Group of Youth Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Chinese Integrative Medicine developed the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder in the elderly ( version 2023). Nine recommendations were put forward from the aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies and rehabilitation of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder, hoping to promote the standardized, systematic and personalized diagnosis and treatment concept and improve functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder.
RESUMEN
Objective To understand the current status of surgical treatment for hemophilia osteoarthropathy (HO) in China. Methods Using an online questionnaire, select domestic hospitals that partici-pated in the compilation of the 'Guideline for perioperative management of hemophilia patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery in China ', in addition to members of the National Joint Surgery Group, and the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Association for targeted investigation and analysis. Results A total of 17 domestic hospitals were included, all of which were general hospitals. Hospitals that started HO surgery treatment before 2000 accounted for 35.29%. A total of 3057 surgical cases of HO were reported by those hospitals. The most commonly performed surgical procedures were hip and knee joint replacement. The most commonly used coagulation factor replacement regimen was recombinant coagulation factor preparation. Ten hospitals reported finding patients with transfusion-related infectious diseases. Bleeding and hematoma formation were the most frequently reported surgical complications. Excessive length of hospital stay and high economic costs were the most frequently reported problems. Conclusions Surgical treatment for HO in 17 hospitals is mainly carried out in some large comprehensive medical centers in the eastern region. Compared with the patient base, the popularity and number of surgeries are still relatively insufficient. It is necessary to further standardize the treatment system by standardizing factor replacement and strengthening rehabilitation to improve surgical treatment outcomes.
RESUMEN
Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the main complications in patients with traumatic fractures, and for severe patients, the DVT can even affect arterial blood supply, resulting in insufficient limb blood supply. If the thrombus breaks off, pulmonary embolism may occur, with a high mortality. The treatment and rehabilitation strategies of thrombosis in patients with lower extremity fractures have its particularity. DVT in traumatic fractures patients has attracted extensive attention and been largely studied, and the measures for prevention and treatment of DVT are constantly developing. In recent years, a series of thrombosis prevention and treatment guidelines have been updated at home and abroad, but there are still many doubts about the prevention and treatment of DVT in patients with different traumatic fractures. Accordingly, on the basis of summarizing the latest evidence-based medical evidence at home and abroad and the clinical experience of the majority of experts, the authors summarize the clinical treatment and prevention protocols for DVT in patients with traumatic fractures, and make this consensus on the examination and assessment, treatment, prevention and preventive measures for DVT in patients with different fractures so as to provide a practicable approach suitable for China ′s national conditions and improve the prognosis and the life quality of patients.
RESUMEN
The incidence of fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP) in elderly patients has been gradually increased. FFP has become another type of injury that threatens the lives of elderly patients because of high disability rate and mortality. The special physical condition of the elderly patients such as osteoporosis, chronic medical diseases and disability determines the specialty in diagnosis and treatment of FFP. The perioperative treatment is more difficult than other patients. FFP in elderly patients is different from the high violent mechanism of pelvis fractures in young patients, and its fracture morphology and classification are also varied. Surgical treatment is to stabilize the mechanical transmission structure of the pelvic ring, improve clinical symptoms, reduce long-term bed-related complications and restore painless daily self-care. In recent years, the surgical treatment of the pelvic fractures has made significant progress. However, there still remains controversy in treating FFP in elderly patients. The authors discuss the perioperative hot issues on FFP in elderly patients, hoping to realize the standard management of FFP.

RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of motion pain induction test for early knee osteoarthritis.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted and the data came from The Project of Health Management of Knee osteoarthritis in Community in Hangzhou in 2018, and a total number of 1 816 people were included which were divided into normal group ( n=530), early group ( n=534) and middle-late group ( n=752) by not sick, sick while Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) ≤Ⅱ and sick while KL>Ⅱ starting, squatting, walking up and down stairs and doing housework were included in the test, and the statistical indicators included age, gender and pain scores (visual analogue scale, VAS). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were mapped after the correlation analysis to obtain the cut-off points and compare their values of area under the curve (AUC). The confounders which included age and gender were corrected by propensity score matching (PSM) and the balance test is consistent with P>0.05 after the PSM. The Kappa analysis was used to verify the consistency of two diagnostic methods. Results:The age of normal, early and medial-late groupwas 67.39±7.43, 67.41±9.52, 71.55±9.87. And the gender distribution of three groups was (238 male, 292 female), (209 male, 325 female), (357 male, 395 female). There was no heterogeneitybetween the normal group and early group in distribution ( P>0.05) while there was heterogeneity between the early and medial-late group ( t=-0.034, P<0.05; χ2=8.80, P<0.05). The VAS scoresof starting pain in three groups was 0.16±0.37,2.70±1.69, 3.68±2.10. The VAS scoresof squatting pain was 0.42±0.49, 2.88±1.44, 4.01±2.08. The VAS scoresof up and down stair pain was 0.47±0.50, 2.87±1.38, 3.82±1.98. The VAS scoresof housework pain was 0.14±0.35, 2.15±1.40, 3.45±2.09. The VAS scoresofmaximum pain was 0.51±0.50, 3.59±1.48, 4.68±2.01. And there was significant difference between normal and early groupin all kinds of pain ( t=-33.81; t=-37.25; t=-37.66; t=-32.07; t=-45.41; P<0.05). The difference between early and medial-late group in all type of pain was significant ( t=-8.93; t=-10.84; t=-9.56; t=-12.52; t=-10.64; P<0.05). The results were similar after adjusting for confounders except for the pain of starting ( P>0.05). The results of ROC curve between normal and early group showed the maximum pain's AUC point was 0.98 and larger than others, and its cut-off point was 1. After adjusted, the results of ROC curve between early and medial-late group showed the maximum pain's AUC point was 0.72 which was larger than others and cut-off point was 4. For the AUC of ROC curve between early and medial-late groupwas lower, Kappa-test was used, and the Kappa point of two diagnostic methods was 0.41 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The maximum of pain score in pain dimension>1 and ≤ 4 could be preliminarily diagnosed as early KOA. It had high value in separating early KOA from normal people and approximately similar to X-ray, and the value of identifying early and mid-late KOAwas moderateas well as the moderate consistency with KL stage. Comprehensive judgment of imaging examination should be improved when conditions are available.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of intra-articular injection of autologous adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) or ADSCs combined with hyaluronate acid (HA) for knee osteoarthritis.Methods From May 2013 to May 2015,a total of 108 patients with knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grades:1-3) were recruited in the present study.The patients were randomly divided into three groups:ADSCs,HA and ADSCs+HA.All patients (36 cases in each group) were injected with the drug in the joint cavity once a week for three weeks.The methods used for evaluating the clinical manifestations and joint damage on MRI included visual analogue scale (VAS),Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index and whole-organ magnetic resonance imaging score (WORMS).Evaluations were conducted before injection and at 3,6,12,24 and 36 months after injection.Results All patients were followed up for 36 months without any dissociation.No adverse reaction was observed during the treatment and at the follow-up duration.The VAS score and WOMAC total score of the ADSCs group and the ADSCs+HA group were better than those in the HA group at each time point after injection (P＜0.05).The average VAS of the ADSCs group decreased from 4.14±1.42 at pre-injection to 2.39±1.74 at 36 months after injection.The WOMAC total score decreased from 42.86± 31.24 to 27.17±27.99.The average VAS in the ADSCs+HA group decreased from 4.25±1.13 to 2.31±1.74,and the WOMAC total score decreased from 34.92±22.62 to 21.33±21.38.However,the average VAS and WOMAC total score of the HA group at 36 months after injection were higher than those before the injection.In terms of the VAS at 3 months after injection,the ADSCs+HA group scored better than that of the ADSCs group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in WOMAC scores between the ADSCs and ADSCs+HA groups at each time point after injection (P＞0.05).The WORMS cartilage injury score improved in 10 patients with ADSCs after injection (P＜0.05).The subchondral bone wear score improved as well (P＜0.05).The difference of WORMS cartilage injury scores before and after injection was correlated with the difference of the WOMAC total score (r=0.790,P=0.007) and that of VAS score difference (r=0.800,P=0.005).Conclusion Autologous ADSCs and ADSCs combined with HA intra-articular injections can effectively relieve pain and improve function of patients with knee osteoarthritis for 36 months.In addition,ADSCs combined with HA injections can relieve pain more effectively within a short duration.Cartilage repair is associated with joint function improvement.
RESUMEN
The research investigation is carried to observe the clinical efficacy of the combination of Chinese traditional medicine [TCM] and Western medicine on the traumatic chronic tibial osteomyelitis [CO]. A total of 80 patients who were admitted to this hospital between January 2012 and January 2017 were randomly divided into two groups, i.e. the control group and the observation group, with 40 patients in each group. In the control group, patients underwent the surgery to eliminate the lesion plus the antibiotics, while those in the observation group received the surgery, antibiotics administration and the wuwei xiaodu drink. In the observation group, patients had lowered erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR], white blood cells [WBC] and neutrophils in comparison with the control group [p<0.05]. The total effectiveness rate of patients in the observation group was 92.5%, significantly higher than 80.0% in the control group [p<0.05]. Combination of the TCM and Western medicine can mitigate the local lesion of traumatic CO and ameliorate the general status, with significant efficacy. Thus, it is worthy of being promoted in clinical practice
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effect of fast-track TKA upon the recovery time and degree of satisfaction of the patients.Methods 208 patients with primary osteoarthritis between 2013 and March 2015 were randomly divided into 2 groups.In fast-track TKA group was established in peri-operative analgesia,blood management,postoperative anticoagulation,surgical skill and mitigation of perioperative stress.In TKA group,conventional surgical management mode was followed.Identical discharge standards were established for patients in 2 groups to evaluate the recovery time.The patients' degree of satisfaction at postoperative 2 weeks was assessed by numerical rating scale (NRS).The degree of satisfaction about acquisition of preoperative information,degree of satisfaction about postoperative analgesia and postoperative function were statistically compared between 2 groups.Postoperative complication,blood transfusion rate,infectious events within postoperative 3 months,thrombosis-related events,re-operation and death were recorded.Results In fast-track TKA group,the mean discharge time was (2.3±1.2) d,significantly shorter compared with (4.7±5.1) d in TKA group.The mean NRS score in fast-track TKA group was 9.8±0.5 and 9.1±1.4 in TKA group.In fast-track TKA group,the mean scores of the degree of satisfaction about acquisition of preoperative information,degree of satisfaction about postoperative analgesia and postoperative function were 27.7±7.3,9.8± 1.7 and 9.6± 1.3,significantly higher than 15.5±10.1,9.2±2.2 and 8.7±1.8 in the TKA group.In fast-track TKA group,postoperative blood transfusion rate was 3.9％,considerably lower than 11.4％ in TKA group.Conclusion Fast-track TKA can shorten the length of hospital stay,not increase the mortality rate and postoperative complication,accelerate the recovery of daily activity and effectively enhance the degree of satisfaction of the patients.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and evaluate whether the age,body mass index and grade of KOA are associated with the treatment outcomes.Methods Using the prospective,randomized,controlled study,100 KOA patients hospitalized between December 2013 and November 2014 were enrolled.Twentyeight patients were men and 72 were women.Mean age was 58 years (range,35-85 years).Degenerative arthritis occurred in 68 patients and traumatic arthritis in 32 patients.Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) score was grade Ⅱ in 35 patients,grade Ⅱ in 46 and grade Ⅲ in 19.The patients were assigned to receive hyaluronic acid (HA) (HA group,n =50) and PRP (PRP group,n =50) by an intraarticular route once weekly for 3 weeks,according to the random number table.Between-group differences were insignificant in age,gender,body mass index (BMI) and K-L grade.Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC),visual analog scale (VAS) and cartilage lesions score (CaLs) were used for clinical and MRI evaluations.At follow-up evaluation,the effective rate was defined at least 36％ improvement from the baseline WOMAC score.Results All patients were followed up for 6 months.The effective rate in PRP group was 84％ versus 68％ in HA group after the last treatment (P ＞0.05),and was 60％ versus 36％ in HA group at the final follow-up (P ＜ 0.05).WOMAC score in both groups had significant improvement after operation,while VAS improved only in PRP group (P ＜ 0.01).In PRP group patients with K-L grade I had better VAS and WOMAC scores than those with grade Ⅱ (P ＜0.05),and patients with grade Ⅱ had better WOAMC score than those with grade Ⅲ (P ＜ 0.05).MRI findings showed seven patients in PRP group had similar CaLs before and after operation (P ＞ 0.05),and the area of abnormal signal in subchondral bone and the depth of cartilage lesion gradually decreased in one of them.Follow-up study showed the outcomes had negative correlation with age and K-L grade (P ＜0.05),but no certain correlation with BMI in PRP group (P ＞ 0.05).Clinical effects in both groups were decreased over time.Conclusions Intraarticular injection of PRP benefits to pain relief,decreased inflammation and tissue repair,and has much better outcome in patients with younger age and lower K-L grade.However,BMI is not associated with the outcome.

RESUMEN
Objective]To establish a new volume-depending staging system for ONFH through an analysis software developed by ourselves, referring to Ficat staging system. [Method]With the help of the necrosis score calculated by our software, a new 0~6 volume-depending staging system for ONFH was established referring to Ficat staging system. The correlation analysis was conducted between the Ficat stages and necrosis scores of 22 ONFH cases. [Result]According to Ficat staging system, there were 4 stage Ⅰ, 2 stage Ⅱa, 3 stage Ⅱb, 9 stage Ⅲ, 4 stage Ⅳ. According to the volume-depending staging system, there were 4 cases of stage 1, 3 stage 2, 2 stage 3, 3 stage 4, 5 stage 5, 5 stage 6. A strong linear correlation was observed between the necrosis scores of volume-depending staging system and Ficat staging system(r=0.976,P<0.01). [Conclusion]The new volume-depending staging system might be accurate and feasible. It could indicate the whole condition of ONFH more objective than Ficat staging system, which would be helpful for early diagnosis of ONFH.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the formation and special cell biological behavior of osteoclasts.Methods The live-cell imaging technology was adopted to consecutively and dynamically observe the whole process of multinuclear osteoclast formation induced by RANKL and M-CSF from rat peripheral blood monocyte.Meanwhile,the inverted phase contrast microscopy,TRAP staining,and scanning electron microscopy were also applied to identify the osteoclast.Results After 2-week cultivation,a great number of apocytes were found by the inverted phase contrast microscopy,and most apocytes and monocytes had positive reaction after TRAP staining.Moreover,many bone resorption lacunae in which osteoclasts were perhrming bone resorption function could be found in the bone slice under the scanning electron microscope.Live-cell imaging observation showed that the multinuclear osteoclasts were generated through self-fusion of monocytes,fusion of monocytes and apocytes,as well as fusion between apocytes.All fusion processes occurred under the condition of cell adherence.Time-lapse Microcinematography observation showed diverse shapes of osteoclasts and the cell division of multinuclear osteoclasts.Conclusion Rat peripheral blood monocyte can develop into osteoclast under induction of RANKL and M-CSF.Osteoclast can form gigantic apocyte via various types of cell fusion to increase its nucleus number and cell volume,vary its shape,and increase the area of plasma membrane.On the other hand,osteoclast can decrease its cell volume and nucleus number via cell division to adapt the needs of local morphology,biomechanics and bone resorption dynamics.It suggests that this non-mitosis cell division is a special cell biological behavior of osteoclast,which may be the basis of exerting its function and improving bone resorption efficiency.
RESUMEN
Objective To introduce a new classification system for femoral intertrochanteric fractures and propose classification to assist surgical management.Methods A total of 176 cases of femoral intertrochanteric fractures treated from September 2007 to October 2011 were enrolled in the study.X-ray and three-dimensional spiral CT reconstruction were performed to define fracture shape,location,number of major fragments and displaced direction.As combined with the intraoperative findings and cadaveric anatomical study,the femoral intertrochateric fractures was simulated using a three-dimensional entity of normal proximal femur produced by Mimics 11.1 program.A new classification system for femoral intertrochateric fractures was proposed.Results The new system categorized intertrochateric fractures of the femur into five types (Type Ⅰ,Type Ⅱ,Type Ⅲ,Type Ⅳ and Type Ⅴ) based on the integrity or destruction of the medial column,lateral column and posterior column set and divided on the basis of bone connection of femoral head-neck fracture fragments with the bone in intertrochanteric region.Conclusions The new classification system with introduction of three-column concept is brief and practical and has a clear definition of fracture stability.Besides,the new classification-based treatment is recommended.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the biomechanics mechanism of ATP6i gene-interference treating steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral heads(SINFH)in rats.Methods Forty SD rats were randomly assigned to four groups:blank control group,experimental control group,ATP6i SiRNA(+)group and ATP6i SiRNA(-)group,10 rats in each group.We established rat models of SINFH by injecting Escherichia Coli Endotoxin and prednisolone for 12 weeks,then cut along the inner side of the patella for about 1 cm and turn the patellar outside of the both knees of the experimental control group,the ATP6i SiRNA(+)group and the ATP6i SiRNA(-)group,and drill from the intercondylar until the femoral neck.Rats were treated by transfecting ATP6i small interference RNA(ATP6i SiRNA)into the osteoclasts of the femoral heads to interference the expression of ATP6i SiRNA(+),or by the ATP6i SiRNA(-)and same amount of saline.One month later,test the load,stress,modulus of elasticity,and axial stiffness of the right femoral heads of all four groups,and at the same time take the left femoral heads of all four groups for pathological study.Results The load,stress,modulus of elasticity,and axial stiffness of the ATP6i SiRNA(+)group were(307.01±27.34)N,(60.44±5.38)MPa,(125.29±11.16)MPa,(162.42±14.45)N/mm,respectively,which were much greater than the ATP6i SiRNA(-)group and the experimental control group(P＜0.05).In the pathological studies,we found that the trabecula of the femoral heads of the ATP6i SiRNA(+)group was much thicker than the ATP6i SiRNA(-)group and the experimental control group,but the degeneration,necrosis and breakage of the osteoepiphysis in each group had no statistically significant differences.Conclusion ATP6i gene-interference can inhibit the acid-secreting function of osteoclasts and improve the biomechanical property of the femoral heads of rats in treating the SINFH.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze and summarize the risk factors of failed internal fixation for intertrochanteric fracture.Methods From April 2008 to April 2011,267 patients with intertrochanteric fractures in 4 hospitals were treated with internal fixation.The relationship between the failure of internal failure and possible factors as age,gender,hypertension,diabetes,the abuse of alcohol and tobacco,use of glucocorticoid,the degree of osteoporosis and fractures type were studied.According to the surgical risk assessment table,the patients were divided into low-risk,mid-risk,and high-risk group.The rate of internal fixation failure was compared in the 3 groups.Results We found 42 cases which showed radiographic failures.The internal fixation failure directly related with advanced age,diabetes,severe osteoporosis,unstable type fracture,but not gender,hypertension,the abuse of alcohol and tobacco,use of glucocorticoid.Risk factors of internal fixation failure included diabetes,osteoporosis degree,and fracture stability.Failed intertrochanteric fracture fixation mainly occurred in the mid-risk and high-risk groups.Conclusion Severe osteoporosis,unstable fracture,diabetes are risk factors of failure of intertrochanteric fracture fixation.These factors will affect the quality of surgery.For the patient with intertrochanteric fractures in the low-risk groups,internal fixation should be the first choice for treatment.For the patients in the mid-risk and high-risk group,internal fixation should be applied cautiously.For the aged patients in high-risk groups,hip arthroplasty is a wise option.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the clinical results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the treatment of knees with bony ankylosis in extension.Methods From June 2000 to June 2007,10 patients had knees with bony ankylosis in extension were treated with TKA,including 4 males and 6 females,with an average age of 49 years (range,29 to 63 years).The primary diseases were as follows:ankylosing spondylitis in 3 cases,rheumatoid arthritis in 2 cases,hemophilic arthritis in 1 care,traumatic arthritis in 3 cases and pyogenic arthritis in 1 case.The range of motion (ROM) was 0° in all knees,and the average HSS (the Hospital for Special Surgery) score before operation was 32.5±10.26.Two patients underwent bilateral TKA,and 8 underwent unilateral TKA.Results All patients were followed up for 3 to 10 years (average,5.3 years).The average HSS score was improved to 87.75±6.45 at the last follow-up,and there was significant difference compared with that before operation (t=18.668,P=0.000).The average ROM was improved to 97.08°±11.57°at the last follow-up,and there was remarkable difference compared with that before operation (t=29.063,P=0.000).The postoperative complications included cutaneous necrosis in 2 cases,deep venous thrombosis of lower limb in 1 case,periprosthetic fracture in 1 case,and deep prosthetic infection in 1 case who underwent revised TKA later.The postopertative X-ray showed no looseness of the prostheses.Conclusion TKA through medial parapatellar approach,with dissection of the rectus femoris,secondary osteotomy and soft tissue balance intraoperatively is effective in the treatment of knees with bony ankylosis in extension,which can correct the ankylosed knee deformitis successfully.Combining with the correct rehabilitation exercise,it is possible to improve significantly the function of knee and life quality in these patients.
