OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effects of anterolateral decompression and fixation on thoracolumbar fractures complicated with incomplete paraplegia. METHODS: Thirty-six patients with thoracolumbar fractures complicated with incomplete paraplegia were treated with anterolateral decompression and fixation. RESULTS: The patients were followed up for an average of 18 months, which showed satisfactory recovery of the intervertebral space height and thoracolumbar vertebral curvature. The average Cobb's angle, spinal canal index and Frankel were improved remarkably, and none of the patients developed such complications as break or mobilization of the plate screw. CONCLUSION: Anterolateral decompression and fixation can directly and completely decompress the vertebral canal, promote the functional recovery of the spinal nerves and reconstruct the alignment of the spine as an ideal approach for treatment of thoracolumbar fractures with obvious spinal canal-occupying lesions or severe kyphos complicated with incomplete paraplegia.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the surgical approaches for treating displaced proximal humeral two-and three-part fractures in elderly patients. METHODS: Nineteen elderly patients with displaced proximal humeral fractures were analyzed, including 13 patients with displaced two-part fractures and 6 with displaced three-part fractures. All the patients were treated by open reduction and fixation with humeral anatomical bone plates. RESULTS: The rate of excellent or good healing was 76.9% for two-part fractures without nonunion or humeral head necrosis, and was 66.7% for three-part fractures with a rate of humeral head necrosis of 16.7%. CONCLUSION: Displaced proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients should be managed with minimal open reduction and fixed with humeral anatomical bone plate.
