RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the early effectiveness of transiliac-transsacral screws internal fixation assisted by augmented reality navigation system HoloSight (hereinafter referred to as "computer navigation system") in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring injuries.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was made in the 41 patients with posterior pelvic ring injuries who had been treated surgically with transiliac-transsacral screws between June 2022 and June 2023. The patients were divided into navigation group (18 cases, using computer navigation system to assist screw implantation) and freehand group (23 cases, using C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy to guide screw implantation) according to the different methods of transiliac-transsacral screws placement. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, causes of injuries, Tile classification of pelvic fracture, days from injury to operation, usage of unlocking closed reduction technique between the two groups ( P>0.05). The time of screw implantation, the fluoroscopy times, the guide wire adjustment times of each screw, and the incidence of complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. The position of the transiliac-transsacral screw was scanned by CT within 2 days after operation, and the position of the screw was classified according to Gras standard.@*RESULTS@#The operation was successfully completed in both groups. The time of screw implantation, the fluoroscopy times, and the guide wire adjustment times of each screw in the navigation group were significantly less than those in the freehand group ( P<0.05). There were 2 cases of incision infection in the freehand group, and the incision healed by first intention after active dressing change; there was no screw-related complication in the navigation group during operation and early period after operation; the difference in incidence of complications between the two groups (8.7% vs. 0) was not significant ( P=0.495). According to the Gras standard, the screw position of the navigation group was significantly better than that of the freehand group ( P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Compared with the traditional freehand method, the computer navigation system assisted transiliac-transsacral screws internal fixation in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring injuries has advantages of improving the accuracy of screw implantation and reducing radiation damage and the time of screw implantation.

Objective:To compare the long-term prognosis between open versus closed reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures.Methods:The data of 402 consecutive patients with unstable pelvic fracture were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated at The First Medical Center and The Fourth Medical Center, PLA General Hospital, and Strategic Support Force Specialty Medical Center from March 2011 to March 2017. This cohort was divided into 2 groups according to the reduction methods. In the open group of 194 cases subjected to open reduction and internal fixation, there were 133 males and 61 females with a median age of 43.0 (30.7, 51.0) years, and 35 cases of type B and 159 cases of type C by the Tile classification. In the closed group of 208 cases subjected to closed reduction and internal fixation, there were 115 males and 93 females with a median age of 45.5 (32.0, 56.0) years, and 40 cases of type B and 168 cases of type C by the Tile classification. The 2 groups were compared in terms of 12-items Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) scores [physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS)] at the last follow-up, time from injury to operation, frequency of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy, intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion, operation time, and quality of postoperative fracture reduction.Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in the preoperative general data except for the gender, showing the 2 groups were comparable ( P>0.05). This cohort of 402 patients was followed up for 7.8(6.2, 8.8) years. At the last follow-up, the PCS [49.9 (45.4, 55.4) points] and MCS [53.1 (46.4, 57.6) points] in the closed group were significantly higher than those in the open group [48.2 (41.4, 52.7) and 46.5 (40.6, 53.6) points] ( P<0.05). The closed group incurred significantly shorter time from injury to operation [6 (5, 8) d] and operation time [180 (126, 260) min] than the open group [9 (6, 13) d and 240 (165, 334) min], significantly less intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion [1.5 (0, 4.0) U] than the open group [5.0 (2.9, 8.0) U], significantly higher frequency of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy [104.5 (85.0, 132.0) times] than the open group [21.0 (18.0, 26.0) times], and a significantly higher excellent and good rate of postoperative fracture reduction (92.8%, 193/208) than the open group (86.6%, 168/194) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of patients with unstable pelvic fractures, compared with open reduction and internal fixation, closed reduction and internal fixation can not only significantly shorten the waiting time and operation time of patients, reduce the transfusion during operation, but also achieve better fracture reduction to ultimately improve the quality of life of patients.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore which configuration schemes of proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) fixation with endosteal augmentation can provide the optimal biomechanical stability for treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures by means of finite element analysis.Methods:Based on the CT data of the humerus of an old female volunteer (78 years old, with a bone density T-value of -3.0), a three-dimensional finite element model of the humerus was established by digital medical software such as Mimics 19.0, Geomagic Studio 12, and Creo 2.0 ANSYS Workbench2019. Next, a model of unstable proximal humerus fracture was established and subjected respectively to 5 different fixations: simple PHILOS fixation (PHILOS group), PHILOS plus 6-cm fibula fixation with calcar screws (PHILOS-F-C-6 group), PHILOS plus 6-cm fibula fixation without calcar screws (PHILOS-F-6 group), PHILOS plus 9-cm fibula fixation with calcar screws (PHILOS-F-C-9), and PHILOS plus 9-cm fibula fixation without calcar screws (PHILOS-F-9 group). After a stress mode of shoulder joint abduction at 25° was simulated, a compressive load of 200N was applied to the 5 fixation models. The stress distribution and displacement of fracture ends in different fixation models were tested, and the biomechanical stability was compared among the 5 different internal fixations.Results:Under a shoulder joint abduction at 25° and a load of 200 N, the maximum stress and the displacement of the fracture ends in PHILOS-F-C-9 group (38.678 Mpa and 0.012 mm) decreased by 30.08% and 45.45%, respectively, compared with PHILOS-F-C-6 group (55.321 Mpa and 0.022 mm), and decreased by 12.48% and 15.38%, respectively, in PHILOS-F-9 group (77.012 Mpa and 0.033 mm) compared with PHILOS-F-6 group (88.106 Mpa and 0.039 mm). The maximum stress and the displacement of the fracture ends in PHILOS-F-C-6 group decreased by 37.21% and 43.59%, respectively, compared with PHILOS-F-6 group while decreased by 49.83% and 63.63% in PHILOS-F-C-9 group compared with PHILOS-F-9 group, respectively.Conclusion:For treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures with medial instability, PHILOS fixation with longer fibula endosteal augmentation plus insertion of calcar screws is a more appropriate choice which can reduce the stress of internal fixation and reduce the displacement of the fracture ends.
