Interbody cages combined with pedicle screw system for spondylolisthesis / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of interbody cages combined with pedicle screw system in treatment of spondylolisthesis. Methods Of 20 patients with spondylolisthesis, interbody cages combined with 10pedicle screw system was performed in 10 patients and spinal decompression combined with intervertebral bone grafting in another 10. Results All the patients were followed up for 8-12 months (average 10 months), which showed significant improvement in the syndrome. Of 10 patients treated with interbody cages combined with pedicle screw system, seven patients were evaluated excellent, two good and one fair. Of 10 patients treated with spinal decompression combined with intervertebral bone grafting, five patients were evaluated excellent, two good and three fair. Conclusion Interbody cages combined with pedicle screw system is an safe and effective surgery for spondylolisthesis.

64 cases report on the crura therapy bone fraction by modified intramedullary nail / 中国基层医药

Objective Summarize the clinical experience on the improved intramedullary nail therapy for the fraction of femurand tibia,to improve the skill. Methods The modified intramedullary nail has been used for frac-tion-cure on 64 cases of which 29 are femur fraction and 35 tibin fraction through the period. Results All the pa-tients were recovered within 4 months without any joint malfunction or syndromes. Conclusion The far-end aiming of the modified intrameduUary nail could maintain a 100 % precision, which out down the surgery operation time and reduce bleeding. Remain the advantage of previous intrarnedullary nail is beneficial to bone fraction concrescence and function recovery.

Treatment of multiple fractures uf the thoracolumbar spine through posterior approach and pedicle screw fixation / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate the operative indications and the therapeutic effect of the pedide screw fixation used for treating multiple fractures of the thoracolumbar spine. Methods 16 cases of multiple fractures of the thoracolumbar spine were chosen to be treated by open reduction through posterior approach and pedicle screw fixation. 10 cases were the fractures involved adjacent segments,4 cases were the fractures with one intact vertebral segment between them,2 cases were the fractures with two intact vertebral segments between them. Results The patients were followed up for 12～36 months,with an average of 21.5 months. After the operations,function of moat of the injured nerves had beeu improved or restored. The vertebral height of the fractured segment showed no signifi-cant loss. The materials of internal fixation found no loosening or fracturing at the end of follow-up. Conclusion Fractures of multi-segment of thoraeolumhar vertebrae can cause serious instability and are required for timely treat- ment. The method of the internal fixation with pedicle screw-rod fixation system through posterior approach, fol- lowed by limited decompression, can reconstruct the stability of the vertebrae and promote the recovery of the im- paired neurological functions.

Use of retrograde intrameduilary interlocking nail for the treatment of distal femoral fracture with analysis 52 cases / 中国基层医药

Objective To summarize the clinical effects of retrograde intramedullary nail in treating distal femora| fracture. Methods Retrospectively analysed 52 cases of intereondyiar and supracondylar fracture of femur treated with retrograde intrameduUary nail. Results All cases were followed up for 6 to 24 months. All fracture were union except 2 reoperations cases had delay union. Conclusion Retrograde intrameduUary nail has supreme biological stability and allowed early exercise. It also can shorten operation time, reduce damage of periosteum and reduce delay union rate.
