RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of children's lower extremity amputation and amputation rehabilitation, and to explain the causes of children's amputation and the complications after amputation. MethodsFrom January, 2016 to March, 2021, 51 amputation related children were retrospectively analyzed. The correlation between the cause of amputation and complications post amputation were analyzed. ResultsTraumatic amputations accounted for 58.82%, and the main cause was traffic accidents (70%). Amputations caused by diseases accounted for 41.18%, and the main cause was congenital limb deformities (80.95%). Traumatic amputation was more likely to have stump complications than expected (P < 0.05). The possibility of stump complications after disease-specific amputation was lower than expected (P < 0.05). ConclusionTraffic trauma is the main cause of amputation in children and is characterized clinically by a high incidence of unsatisfactory stumps, mainly due to soft tissue abnormalities, and most cases require stump revision to improve the poor residuals for prosthetic restoration of ambulation. Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is the main cause of disease-specific amputation, and the outcome of amputation often cannot be definitely avoided even after long-term limb preservation treatment.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the perioperative characteristics of hip fractures and the effects of early rehabilitation in elderly patients. Methods Clinical data of 123 elderly patients admitted to our department from January 2012 to January 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into a rehabilitation group and a control group ,based on whether rehabilitation therapy was offered.Comparison was made between the two groups on postoperative mortality and postoperative complications. Results Of 123 patients ,there were 51 males and 72 females ,with a mean age of (83.5 ± 4.8)years(aged 67~96 years).Femoral fractures were seen in 32 patients and femoral intertrochanteric fractures in 91 patients.Before operation ,112 (91.1% ) patients had concomitant diseases. There were significant differences in postoperative complications and one-year mortality after operation between patients receiving early rehabilitation and controls (5/60 or 8.3% vs.14/63 or 22.2% ,4/60 or 6.7% vs.13/63 or 20.6% ,χ2=4.539 and 5.034 ,P=0.033 and 0.025 , respectively ). Conclusions Elderly hip fracture patients have many concomitant diseases before operation.With appropriate perioperative management ,well-chosen methods of anesthesia and surgery ,and early postoperative rehabilitation measures ,the incidence of perioperative complications and one-year mortality can be decreased ,and desirable surgical outcomes can be attained.

RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Static compressure effect between the fracture fragments was generated by fixation itself (tension band wire and screw), but dynamic compression effects were generated during flexion. Mechanical strength and stability of patel ar fracture fixation have obvious advantages. However, there are lacks of quantitative comparative studies on static and dynamic compression effects of these fixation methods. OBJECTIVE:To observe strength changes and clinical significance of static and dynamic compression using four fixation techniques. METHODS:Standardized transverse patel ar fracture models were created with fresh cow patel as. The patel as were randomly divided into four groups:fixation was accomplished with modified tension band wiring (wire group);modified tension band with braided cable (cable group);interfragmentary screws (screw group);cannulated screw tension band with wire (cannulated screw group). Before fracture fixation, Fuji pressure-sensitive film was laid among fracture fragments to measure the pressure among fracture fragments after fixation, i.e., static and dynamic compression. Model of each group was measured as fol ows:(1) after fixation, the fixation was removed, and the Fuji pressure-sensitive film was taken out;(2) after fixation, material testing machine was used. Samples underwent a three-point bending test with a 5 000 N load, simulating dynamic compression during knee flexion. Subsequently, Fuji pressure-sensitive film was taken out. Each Fuji pressure-sensitive film was tested using prescale FPD-8010E software. Thus, average pressure among broken bone ends was obtained, and statistical analysis was performed. Static and dynamic compression among broken bone ends was compared in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Average static compression was significantly lower in the wire group than in the cable group, screw group and cannulated screw group (P0.05). Dynamic compression was higher than static compression in the wire group (P<0.05). Results verified that compared with modified tension band wire fixation technique, cable or screw could evidently increase static compression among broken bone ends, but simultaneously weaken dynamic compression among broken bone ends.

Objective To assess the influencing factors of perioperativc delirium in the elderly with hip fracture and to define strategies for prevention and management. Methods DSM-Ⅳ was adopted to diagnosis of perioperative delirium in the elderly with hip fracture, The data of 148 elderly patients with hip fracture were analyzed retrospectively and classified according to the clinical characteristics. The differences were analyzed statistically between the delirious group and the control group. Results There were 26 (17.6%) cases diagnosed with delirium in the perioperative period, including 22 cases with postoperative delirium, and the delirious symptom lasted 3 days in average. For the type of delirium, there were 15 cases with mania type, 4 cases with inhibitory type and 7 cases with mixed type. Compared with patients in control group, patients with perioperative delirium were older [(79.67±7.7) years old vs. (75.5±7.0)years old, t=2.668, P=0.008)]. Five cases who had previous delirium occurred perioperative delirium, and five patients who received external fixator showed no perioperative delirium. Conclusions Perioperative delirium is a heterogeneous symptom on the basis of brain aging and degeneration. It affects the prognosis of the elderly patients with hip fracture and should be viewed as a separate entity, which can be prevented and treated through comprehensive management.
