Treatment of anterior glenohumeral dislocations with manual reduction of WU medical school / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the technique, mechanism and clinical efficacy of manual reduction of WU medical school in the treatment of anterior glenohumeral dislocations.@*METHODS@#From January 2016 to December 2017, 181 patients with anterior glenohumeral dislocations were treated with our manual reduction, including 71 males and 110 females, ranging in age from 19 to 94 years old, with a mean age of(61.1±16.3) years old; 68 cases of subglenoid type, 93 cases of subcoracoid type and 20 cases of subclavian type. Constant score was used to evaluate limb function while the external fixation was removed.@*RESULTS@#One hundred and fifty-seven patients achieved reduction at the first attempt and 23 patients achieved at the second time. There was no vascular damage, nerve damage or iatrogenic fracture accmpanied. The Constant score ranged from 75 to 100, with a mean score of 92.1±4.3. One hundred and sixty-eight patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 12 to 24 months, with an average of (16.1±3.2) months, no recurrent dislocation occurred during the follow up period.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The manual reduction of WU medical school in the treatment of anterior glenohumeral dislocations has high success rate and low complication rate, which is scientific, safe, standardized, easy to learn and worth promoting.

Treatment of thoracolumbar fractures with three-dimensional reduction method and external fixation devices under analgesia / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the clinical effects between open reduction internal fixation and three-dimensional reduction with external fixation under analgesia in treating fresh thoracolumbar fractures, and explore the simple and effective method for thoracolumbar fractures.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of 40 patients with thoracolumbar fractures who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the department of orthopaedics affiliated to Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from February 2013 to August 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to therapeutic methods, the patients were devided into treatment group and control group, 20 cases in each group. Treatment group was treated by three-dimensional reduction method and external fixation devices under analgesia, and control group was treated by open reduction and common spinal fixation system. In treatment group, there were 9 males and 11 females, aged from 26 to 68 years old with an average of (52.8±11.3) years; and in control group, there were 10 males and 10 females, aged from 26 to 64 years old with an average of(50.6±8.8) years. Anterior vertebral body compression(AVBC), Cobb angle and visual analogue scale(VAS) were measured and compared in two group.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All 40 patients finished follow-up. The follow-up time in treatment group was 5 to 37 months with average of (16.1±8.8) months, in control group was 5 to 29 months with an average of(17.3±6.0) months. There was no significant difference between two groups(>0.05). AVBC, Cobb angle, VAS score were obviously improved in all patients after treatment(<0.05), but there were no significant difference between two groups(>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Clinical effect of two methods was similar in treating thoracolumbar fractures, but three-dimensional reduction and external fixation devices under analgesia has advantage of easy operation, smaller trauma and no need secondary surgery for removed internal fixation.</p>

Percutaneous poking reduction with bone grafting and limited internal fixation for the treatment of calcaneal fractures / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate clinical effects of percutaneous poking reduction with bone grafting and limited internal fixation for the treatment of calcaneal fractures.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From May 2013 to October 2016, 53 patients with closed calcaneal fractures were analyzed, and were divided into treatment group and control group. There were 33 patients in treatment group including 25 males and 8 females, aged from 15 to 82 years old with an average of(44.7±14.2) years old; 17 cases were type II and 16 cases were type III according to Sanders classification; treated by percutaneous poking reduction with bone grafting and limited internal fixation. There were 33 patients in control group, including 20 males aged from 25 to 62 years old with an average of (42.2±11.3) years old; 8 cases were type II and 12 cases were type III according to Sanders classification; treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Imaging indicators, hospital stays and preoperative waiting time were observed and compared, Maryland scoring were applied to evaluate foot function.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Fifty-three patients were followed up, and treatment group was followed up from 8 to 40 months with an average of (19.9±7.2) months; while control group was followed up from 12 to 40 months with an average of (21.7±7.7) months, and there were not significant differences between two groups in follow-up time (>0.05). There were no obvious meaning in Böhler angles, Gissane angles between two groups (>0.05). There were significant differences in hospital stays and preoperative waiting time(<0.01). There were no significant differences in Maryland score between treatment group(90.45±5.76) and control group(89.10±6.16).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Percutaneous poking reduction with bone grafting and limited internal fixation for the treatment of calcaneal fractures could obtain satisfied effects, and has advantages of less trauma and complications, rapid recovery and good clinical effects.</p>
