Résumé
Objective To explore the clinical outcomes of the percutaneous radiofrequency nucleoplasty in the treatment of cervical disc herniation.Methods 183 patients with cervical disc herniation were treated with percutaneous radiofrequency nucleoplasty.A retrospective analysis of 183 patients was made,and their effects were evaluated using the VAS and the subjective satisfactory degree of the patients.Results All cases were followed up for 3 to 36 months( average 12 months).There were no complications observed such as hemorrhages,infections and nerve root injurys due to the procedure.One week after operation,symptom remission rate was 58.4％ and perfect rate of subjective satisfaction was 95.1％.At final follow up,symptom remission' rate was 66.1％ and perfect rate of subjective satisfaction was 85.8％.Conclusion Percutaneous radiofrequency nucleoplasty was an effective,minimally invasive and safe procedure to treat cervical disc herniation,and the operative treatment had shown better results.
Résumé
Objective To study the changes of pressure in cervical disc after percutaneous radiofrequency nucleoplasty,and provide theoretical basis for percutaneous radiofrequency nucleoplasty in the treatment of cervical disc herniation. Methods Forty-two patients with cervical disc herniation (33 cases of nerve root-type cervical spondylopathy and 9 cases of vertebral artery-type cervical spondylopathy) were treated with pereutaneous radiofrequeney nucleoplasty. The pressures of operated cervical disc were measured in the operation, and their clinical effects were evaluated using the JOA values 1 week after operation. The relationship between pressure changes in cervical disc and clinical effect was studied. Results The pressure in the cervical disc in 33 cases of nerve root-type cervical spondylopathy was decreased (1.84 ± 0.96) kPa (P=0.000), and the JOA values increased (3.27 ± 1.35) scares (P=0.000) 1 week after operation. The pressure in the cervical disc in 9 cases of vertebral artery-type cervical spondylopathy was decreased (1.72 ± 0.92) kPa (P= 0.000), and the JOA values increased (2.78 ± 0.67) scores (P= 0.000) 1 week after operation. Correlative analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between the pressure decrease of cervical disc and the JOA values increase (P < 0.05). Conclusion Percutaneous radiofrequency nucleoplasty can help to reduce pressure in the cervical disc and relieve the clinical symptoms.
Résumé
Objective To investigate the surgical techniques and curative effect for the treatment of tibial plmeau fracture. Methods Totally 107 cases( male 62 cases;female 45 cases) of tibia plateau fractures were operated with internal fixation from January 2000 to December 2006 in our hospital. According to Schatzker classification,there were type Ⅰ fracture 2 cases,type Ⅱ 37 cases,type Ⅲ 29 cases,type Ⅳ 22 cases,type Ⅴ 10 cases,type Ⅵ 7 csses. Type Ⅰ fractures were treated with cannulated screws,other type fractures were treated by open reduction,internal fixation with buttress plates,and bone graft if bone defect existed. The therapeutic characteristics and the functions of the knee were evaluated. Results 107 cases cases were followed-up for 15 ～96 months,mean 28. 8 months.All fractures were healed without any complications. The knee Merchant scores were excellent in 62 cases, good in 24 cases,common in 17 cases,bad in 4 cases. The rate of fineness was 80. 37%. Conclusion Surgical operation is effective methods of treating tibia plateau fracture.
