From January 1984 to November 1997, the boiling xenogenic bone (porcine and bovine bone) was applied in 65 patients. The xenogenic bone was used to promote bone healing in 24 cases, intramedullary bone graft in 37 and osteomyelitis in 4. All of the patients were followed up for 2 to 35 months. The results showed that in five cases there was infection after operation, and all other the wounds had primary healing. The xenogenic bone seemed to induce rejection in vivo. In the sevious cases immunosuppressive treatment was often needed. The volume of the bone grafted and the extent of the periosteum being stripped seemed to be important whether xenogenic bone graft would be successful or. There were lots of problem needed investigation.
Objective To summarize the surgical treatment methods and progress of inferior patellar pole fractures and provide reference for clinical application. Methods The literature on surgical treatment of inferior patellar pole fractures was extensively reviewed, and the relevant research progress, advantages, and limitations were summarized. Results The inferior pole of the patella is an important part of the knee extension device, which can strengthen the force arm of the quadriceps. Inferior patellar pole fractures are relatively rare and often comminuted, usually requiring surgical treatment. At present, there are various methods to treat inferior patellar pole fractures, including patellectomy of inferior pole, tension-band wiring technique, plate internal fixation, suture anchor fixation, claw-like shape memory alloy, separate vertical wiring technique. Different methods have their own characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. The single internal fixation method has more complications and is easy to cause fixation failure. Therefore, the trend of combining various internal fixation methods is developing at present. Conclusion When the main fragment of the inferior patellar pole fracture is large and mainly distributed transversely, the combination protocol based on tension-band wiring technique can be regarded as an ideal choice. When the fragments are severely damaged and small, the comprehensive protocol based on suture fixation can result in a better postoperative functional recovery.
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of cannulatedscrew on treatment of femoral neck fracture(FNF). Methods Forty-two FNFpatients were treated by using cannulated screw from January 2001 to December 2005.There were 22males and 20 females with an average age of 41 years (19-59 years). Fracture was caused by traffic accident in 21 cases, by falling from height in 14 cases and by bruise in 7 cases. All cases were fresh fracture. According to Garden criterion for typing, 15 cases were classified as type Ⅱ, 16 cases as type Ⅲ and 11 cases as type Ⅳ . It was 7 hours to 15 days from injury to operation. Results Thepatients were followed up for 1-6 years with an average of 2.5 years. The average fracture union time was 6.5 months. Three patients had ischemic necrosis of femoral head, andloosening and breakage of screw and rob was observed in 1 case. According to Brumback criterion for hip joint function, the result was excellent in 18 cases, good in 20 cases and bad in 4 cases, and the excellent and good rate was 90.4%. Conclusion Cannulated screw fixation is a good method to treat FNF in young adults. It can improve the rate of fracture union and reduce the rate of avascular necrosis of femoral head.
OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical results of hollow compression screw in treatment of fracture of neck of femur in the aged. METHODS: From November 1993 to October, 1998, 52 aged patients with several types of fracture of neck of femur were treated; among them, there were 25 males and 27 females aged from 60 to 83 years (70 years on average). There were 48 cases of fresh fracture and 4 cases of old fracture. Forty-two cases were performed closed reduction internal fixation, 10 cases with open reduction internal fixation. RESULTS: All the patients could sit by themselves 4 to 6 days after operation, and could walk with a crutch 10 to 15 days after operation. The mobility of hip joint was nearly normal 4 weeks after operation. All the patients were followed 26 to 84 months, 48.5 months on average. Bone union was achieved in 50 cases, nonunion in 2 cases. The average healing time was 4.7 months. There were no other complications, such as ankylosis and muscular atrophy, but ischemic necrosis in 3 cases. CONCLUSION: This method has following advantages, convenient manipulation, less injury, stable fixation, and the short-term recovery, which avoid some common complications. It is a reliable method worthy of popularizing.
Objective To elucidate the new development, structural features and appl ication of the lumbar interspinous process non-fusion techniques. Methods With the review of the development course and important research works in the field of the lumbar inter-spinous process non-fusion techniques, the regularity summary, science induction, and prospect were carried out. Results The lumbar inter-spinous process non-fusion technique was a part of non-fusion insertof spinal division posterior surface. According to the design, it could be divided into two major categories: dynamic and static systems. The dynamic system included Coflex and device for intervertebral assisted motion; the static system included X-STOP, ExtenSure and Wall is. The lumbar inter-spinous process non-fusion technique was a new technique of spinal division, it could reserve the integrated function of intervertebral disc and zygapophysial joint, maintain or recover the segmental movement to a normal level, and have no adverse effect on the neighboring segments. A lot of basic and cl inical researches indicated that lumbar inter-spinous process insert had extensive appl ication to curatio retrogression lumbar spinal stenosis, discogenic low back pain, articular process syndrome, lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion and lumbar instabil ity and so on. Conclusion With the matures of lumbar inter-spinous process non-fusion techniques and the increased study of various types of internal fixation devices, it will greatly facil itate the development of treatment of lumbar degenerative disease. But long-term follow-up is needed to investigating the long-term efficacy and perfect operation indication.
