ABSTRACT
Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility and clinical applicability of a modified type V resection method for malignant bone tumors of the proximal humerus. Methods: The relevant anatomic MRI data from 30 normal adult shoulder joints were measured to analyze the feasibility of the modified type V resection method for malignant bone tumors of the proximal humerus. Sixteen patients with malignant bone tumors of the proximal humerus were treated with modified radical resection between March 2012 and April 2017. Recurrence of tumor was evaluated after surgery, and shoulder function was assessed according to the Enneking skeletal muscle tumor function scoring system. Results: Radiographic results showed that the modified type V resection method was feasible, and within the allowable range of the maximum longitudinal diameter (<29.8 mm) and depth (<4 mm). Surgery was successfully completed in all 16 cases, and pathological examination suggested that the purposes for radical resection had been achieved. All patients were followed up over 3-49 months (mean, 15.6 months). One patient had local recurrence at 12 months after surgery, and we performed upper limb amputation. The remaining 15 patients had good prosthesis survival. At the final follow-up, shoulder joint function had recovered compared with preoperative levels, with a mean Enneking score of 25.8 points (range, 24-27 points). Conclusion: Modified type V resection may be feasible for treating tumors of the proximal humerus, maintaining good early shoulder function.

Objeetive To discuss risk factors for postoperative complications after Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPNL) using modified Clavien classification of surgical complications.Methods From September 1999 to December 2010,4533 patients having complications after mPNL were analyzed with five related clinical factors using the modified Clavien classification of surgical complications in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University.Results Among 88 cases having complications (1.94％),69 had hemorrhage (0.24％),5 had colon injury (0.11％),3 had septic shock (0.06％),5 had liquid absorption syndrome (0.11％),6 had pleural effusion (0.13％).According to the modified Clavien classification,11 cases were clustered into Class Ⅰ (0.24％),71 cases into Class Ⅱ (1.56％),6 cases into Class Ⅲa (0.13％) and no cases was classified in Class Ⅲ b,Ⅳ a,Ⅳ b and Ⅴ.For patients having complications of Class Ⅱ and Ⅲ,the average hospital stay was significantly longer than those having either Class Ⅰ or no complications.Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that five factors were associated with postoperative complications,including operation time (OR=1.46),ASA score (0 =2.49),having cardiovascular disease or diabetes at the same time (0R=1.67),stone load (0R=1.34) and positive urine culture (0R=0.97).Conclusion Using modified Clavien classification of surgical complications in the analysis of mPNL was standard,objective,applicable and recommended.
