Dual mobility total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fracture with hemiplegia / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinical effects of dual mobility total hip prosthesis in treating femoral neck fracture patients with hemiplegia.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed on 18 patients with femoral neck fracture combined with hemiplegia who underwent dual mobility total hip prosthesis replacement from March 2014 to December 2016. The follow up data of these patients was complete. There were 5 males and 13 females, aged 65 to 70 years old with an average of (66.50±1.38) years. The left side was involved in 12 cases, while the right side in 6 cases. There were 4 cases with Garden Ⅲ type and 14 cases with type Ⅳ. Limb muscle strength of hemiplegia were in grade Ⅳ. The posterior-lateral approach of hip joint was used in surgery for all patients. The implant position, dislocation and loosening of the prosthesis were evaluated by X-ray examination. Harris hip score and the Merle D'aubigne score were used to assess the hip function in the follow up.@*RESULTS@#The operation duration was for 70-90 (81.56±7.48) min and the blood loss during the operation was for 160-200 (170.32± 12.56) ml. No blood was transfused during the operation. Postoperative incisions were healed at the first stage. The follow-up time was for 28-60(36.0±3.5) months. Harris hip score increased from 16.94±0.73 preoperatively to 96.19±1.27 at the final follow-up(<0.05). Merle D 'Aubigne score increased from 3.96±0.06 preoperatively to 16.81±0.63 at the final follow-up(< 0.05). No fracture or nerve or vascular injury were found during the operation. The postoperative X-ray showed that the prosthesis was in good position. No complications such as joint dislocation, dislocation of prosthesis, loosening of prosthesis, fracture around the prosthesis, pain in the front of thethigh, fracture of the self tapping screw in the ilium, and delayed infection occurred in the patients after operation.@*CONCLUSION@#Dual mobility total hip prosthesis has the advantages of both good initial stability and low dislocation rate of the prosthesis, and the clinical application of total hip replacement in hemiplegic femoral neck fracture is satisfactory.

Clinical efficacy analysis of transverse tibial bone transport combined with vacuum drainage for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate clinical effect of transverse tibial bone transport micro vessels regeneration technology combined with vacuum drainage in treating diabetic foot ulcer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From November 2015 and December 2016, clinical data of 19 diabetic foot ulcer patients treated with transverse tibial bone transport micro vessels regeneration technology combined with vacuum drainage were retrospective analyzed, including 15 males and 4 females aged from 42 to 82 years old with an average of (64.57±7.14) years old;the courses of diabetic ranged was (14.62±6.19) years;12 cases on the left side and 7 cases on the right side;the area of ulcer ranged from 2 cm×3 cm to 8 cm×6 cm. All patients were stage D according to Texas classification, 3 cases were grade 2, 10 cases were grade 3 and 6 cases were grade 4. Ankle-brachial index and Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) were used to evaluate recovery of peripheral vessel and nerve before and after operation, the result of angiography and vascular ultrasound were also compared after operation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Seventeen of 19 patients were followed up from 3 to 13 months with an average of 6.9 months. Seventeen patients' surface wound were healed. Ankle-brachial index was increased from (0.51±0.20) before operation to (0.93±0.18) at 3 months after operation, and had significant difference(=13.63, =0.000);MNSI was increased from (4.06±1.36) before operation to(5.76±1.44) at 3 months after operation, and differences were statistically significant (=7.31, =0.000). Postoperative angiography and vascular ultrasound showed satisfied regeneration of micro-vessel and affected foot achieved normal movement and daily life.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Transverse tibial bone transport micro vessels regeneration technology could reconstruct micro-vessel under lower affected limb, promote recovery of peripheral vessel and nerve, while with vacuum drainage could promote wound healing, has advantages of simple operation, obvious clinical effect, and high success rate of limb-salvage, and is one of ideal treatment for diabetic foot ulcer.</p>

Ilioinguinal approach versus Stoppa approach for open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of displaced acetabular fractures: A systematic review and meta-analysis / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

<p><b>PURPOSE</b>To compare the efficacy and safety of open reduction and internal fixation through ilioinguinal approach and Stoppa approach for the treatment of displaced acetabular fractures.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Case-controlled trials (CCTs) published from January 2010 to August 2015 that compared the ilioinguinal approach and Stoppa approach in the management of displaced acetabular fractures were retrieved from the databases of Cochrane Library, Pubmed, CNKI, and so on. Methodological quality of the trials was critically assessed. Statistical software RevMan 5.0 was used for data analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Eight articles were included in the meta-analysis. Through comparing the efficacy and safety of ilioinguinal approach and Stoppa approach in the treatment of displaced acetabular fracture, statistical significance was found in the average operation time [WMD = 68.29, 95% CI (10.52, 126.05), p < 0.05] and the median intraoperative blood loss [WMD = 142.26, 95% CI (9.30, 275.23), p < 0.05]. However, there existed no statistical significance in the fracture end reset satisfaction rate [RR = 0.63, 95% CI (0.17, 2.37), p > 0.05], the early complications rate [RR = 0.89, 95% CI (0.33, 2.40), p > 0.05], the late complications rate [RR = 0.91, 95% CI (0.27, 3.01), p > 0.05], and Harris hip score good function rate [RR = 0.52, 95% CI (0.25, 1.10), p > 0.05].</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Though both techniques can obtain satisfactory clinical functions in the treatment of displaced acetabular fractures, Stoppa approach is superior to the ilioinguinal approach in terms of operation time and intraoperative blood loss.</p>

Curative effect analysis on proximal frmoral nail antirotation for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture and integrity of lateral trochanteric wall / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore clinical efficacy and key matters for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture and integrity of lateral trochanteric wall by proximal frmoral nail antirotation (PFNA).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From June 2010 to December 2012,210 femoral intertrochanteric fracture patients treated with PFNA were retrospectively analyzed, including 76 males and 134 females aged from 46 to 96 years old with an average of 71 years old. All fracture were caused by injury and classified to type I (5 cases) type II (16 cases), type III (73 cases) and type IV (116 cases) according to Evans classification. The time of getting out of bed, postoperative complications and displacement of screw blade and fracture healing were observed, Baumgaertner criteria were used to evaluate quality of fracture reduction, Harris criteria were used to evaulate hip joint function.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All incisions were healed at stage I, no complications occurred except incomplete of lateral trochanteric wall patients without reconstruction, other patients could get out of bed with crutches at one week and all patients discharged from hospital at 10 days after operation. One hundred and seventy-eight patients were followed up from 3 to 17 months with an average of 10 months. One case occurred unhealed fracture displacement caused by screw blade cutting, 2 cases occurred screw blade transfomed to proximal and out femoral head, other patients obtained fracture healing at 12 to 16 weeks after operation. According to Baumgaertner criteria, 130 cases obtained good results, 45 cases acceptable, and 3 poor; while 107 cases obtained excellent results, 65 good, 3 good and 3 poor according to Harris score.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>PFNA with mechanical advantage of intramedullary fixation has advantsges of stable fixation, shorter operation time, minimally invasive. Satisfied clinical effects could obtained by grasping fixation principle, dealing with negative factors in operation. Intraoperative reconstruction for integrity of lateral trochanteric wall could assure stable fixation and earlier get out of bed.</p>
