Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the operation performed under the video-assisted thoracoscope to release the anterior part of the spine of the patient with severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods From April 2004 to July 2006, 24 patients with AIS (Illness course, 1.5-9 years; Lenke Ⅰ in 17 patients, Lenke Ⅱ in 7; right scoliosis in 22, left scoliosis in 2), among whom there were 9 males and 15 females, with an average age of 14.7 years (range, 11-21 years) at the time of the operation. Before operation, the thoracic vertebral Cobb anger at the coronal plane was averaged 78.3°(range, 65-125°). All the patients had normal muscle strength and muscle tension in their lower limbs, but 5 of the patients had a decrease of the superficial sensation in their lower limbs. All the patients had a moderately or severely decreased lung reserve function. Under general anesthesia, the patient was placed in the lateral position to set up a work channel for thoracoscopy. The releasing of the thoracic intervertebral space and the confluence of the bone grafts were performed. During Stage Ⅰ or Stage Ⅱ, the orthopedic procedures for the posterior part of the scoliosis spine, the internal fixation, and the confluence ofthe bone grafts were completed. ResultsAll the patients survived the periodof perioperation. During operation, there was a hemorrhage of 50-200 ml, averaged 100 ml, with a postoperative thoracic closely-drained fluid of 100-150 ml. The incision was healed by the first intention. Each patient underwent the releaseof 4-6 intervertebral spaces, with an average of 5.5 spaces released. The average coronal Cobb angle was 45.6°(range, 25-75°). The physiological curvatureat the sagittal plane was normal, with an improved shape of the spine. The follow-up for 3-18 months averaged 9.3 months revealed that the bilateral pulmonary markings were clear, with confluence of the orthopedic segment of the spine. The patients could live and work normally, and had a significantly-improved psychological condition and an active social participation because of their improved appearance. Conclusion The releasing of the anterior part of the spine under the video-assisted thoracoscope can effectively release the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and improve the flexibility of the spine, with a smaller degree of the surgical wound and a faster and clearer exposure of the spinal column during operation.
Objective To evaluate the results of open arthrolysis by elevated the lateral and medial collateral l igament-musculature complex from the supracondylar ridge of the humerus in treatment of post-traumatic elbow stiffness. Methods From March 2003 to December 2007, 33 patients with post-traumatic elbow stiffness were treated with open arthrolysis by elevated the lateral and medial collateral l igament-musculature complex from the supracondylar ridge of the humerus. There were 23 males and 10 females, aged 17-70 years old (mean 41.8 years old). According to Morrey, 15 caseswere extremely serious (less than 30° extension-flexion arc) and 18 cases were serious (30-60° extension-flexion arc). The range of motion of the elbow stiffness was (32.5 ± 28.9)° and the Mayo score was 51.9±13.1 before operation. All initial fractures were healed according to cl inical examination and X-rays films. All patients present with a post-traumatic elbow stiffness and the average period from initial trauma to elbow arthrolysis was 16.9 months (2-72 months). Results Wound infection occurred in 1 patient and cured after dressing change and anti-infectious treatment. The wounds healed by first intension in 32 cases. No patient showed sign of elbow instabil ity and debil itating pain. All patients were followed up 6 months to 5 years (mean 3.3 years). At last follow up, the Mayo score was 82.3 ± 14.4 and the range of motion of elbow stiffness was (108.8 ± 36.0)°; showing significant differences when compared with preoperation (P lt; 0.05). According to Mayo evaluation, the results were excellent in 11 cases, good in 18 cases, fair in 2 cases, and poor in 2 cases, the excellent and good rate was 87.88%. Thirty-one patients achieve satisfactory results. Two patients were not satisfied with the result, but the satisfactory results were achieved by a second arthrol ysis. Conclusion Open elbow arthrolysis and postoperative rehabil itation for patients with elbow stiffness can improve joint function and ensure the stabil ity of elbows.
OBJECTIVE: To explore a better surgical mode to treat gluteal muscle contracture. METHODS: In 98 cases, superior cross incision of large tuberosity was performed in 20 cases, posterosuperior curve incision of large tuberosity was performed in 20 cases, and exteroinferior cross incision of iliac spine in the other 58 cases. The patients were observed after operation and followed up. RESULTS: The patients who received exteroinferior cross incision of iliac spine recovered soon without bleeding and infection after operation, which indicated the lowest incidental rate of postoperative complication. CONCLUSION: Exteroinferior cross incision of iliac spine is a safe and effective surgical operation to loosen the gluteal muscle contracture.
Objective To discuss the surgical procedures and curative effect of stiff 2-5 metacarpophalangeal (MP) joints after crash injury in hand. Methods Between January 2006 and June 2009, 7 cases of stiff 2-5 MP joints were treated by releasing the stiff MP joints and reconstructing the function of lumbrical muscle in one stage. There were 6 males and 1 female with an average age of 32 years (range, 18-56 years). All injuries were caused by crash. Six cases suffered from multiple metacarpal fracture or complex dislocation of MP joint and 1 case suffered from complete amputation at level of middle palm of hand. The interval from initial wound heal ing to hospital ization was 3 to 15 months. Before operation, the X-ray films showed fracture healed and the results of nipping paper test were positive. All hands were treated with physical therapy for 1 month. After the plaster external fixation for 6 weeks, the physical therapy and function training were given. Results All wounds healed by first intention. The patients had no joint instabil ity and extensor tendon side-sl ipping with normal finger function. Six patients were followed up from 6 months to 3 years. The extension and flexion of MP joint were 0° and 67-90°, respectively. The average grip strength of injured dominant hand reached 86.70% of normal side and non-dominant hand reached 66.70% of normal side. The average injured dominant tip pinch strength reached 83.52% of normal side and non-dominant tip pinch strength reached 61.30% of normal side. Based on total active motion (TAM) system of Chinese Medical Association for Hand Surgery, the results were excellent in 4 cases, good in 1 case, and fair in 1 case; the excellent and good rate was 83.33%. Conclusion In patients with stiff MP joint and lumbrical muscle defect, releasing stiff MP joint and reconstructing lumbrical function in one stage can recover the function of MP joint and achieve good outcome. Physical therapy plays an important role before operation.
Talipes equinovarus is a very common con-genital foot deformity. From 1985 till 1989,tatalof 30 feet in 23 Patients had been operated by theauthor using subtalar realigment procedure afterall the necessayr release with neurovascular bundleprotected. The position was kept by 2 Kirschner swires,one through talonavicular joint into the talus and other through calcaneous vertically upward into the talus without penetrating into the anklejoint. The total period of plaster immobilizationranged from 8 to 12 weeks. The average age at surgery 6 months old.The results were excellent in 24 feet, good in 5 and less satisfactory in 1 due to overcorrection.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes of regeneration and conduction function for peripheral nerve after neurolysis by nerve special staining and electrophysiology. METHODS: Sixty Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into four groups(n = 15), four methods were designed on rats models of sciatic nerve compression. There were simple decompression as group A, internal neurolysis after decompression as group B, lemithason(0.5 mg/kg) injected in the epineurium after decompression as group C, and lemithason(0.5 mg/kg) injected around the epineurium after decompression and internal neurolysis as group D. Motor nerve conduction velocity(MNCV) and motor latency (Lan) were monitored at 1,2,3,4,5 weeks after decompression, sections were regularly taken from the previously compressed area to perform morphometric analysis. RESULTS: After 2 weeks of decompression, the significant recovery were observed in both MNCV and Lan of four groups. Up to the 5th week of decompression, recovery of electrophysiology was significantly faster in group C and D than that of group A and B, particular in group C(P lt; 0.05), while group A compared with group B, there was no statistical difference in both MNCV and Lan(P gt; 0.05). Morphometric analysis showed that a lot of neural regeneration fibers were observed in group C and D after 3 weeks of decompression. CONCLUSION: Decompression can improve nerve conduction function significantly, while injection of lemithason in epineurium after decompression can promote the structure and function recovery of injured nerve.
【Abstract】 Objective To explore the reasons of tendon adhesions post tendon allograft. Methods From May1990 to June 2000, 85 cases receiving tendon allograft were given tenolysis because of tendon adhesions. There were 76 males and 9 females, with an average age of 24.5 years (8-46 years). Injury was caused by machine in 38 cases, electric in 32 cases, cut in 4 cases, explosion in 4 cases and extremity mutilation in 7 cases; including 66 cases of flexor tendon deficit and 19 cases of extensor tendon deficit. Six cases had 1 tendon deficit, 79 cases had tendon deficit of more than 2. The defect region ranged from I to V. The total mobil ity of the joint was less than 220° in 73 cases. The impairment of skin, bone, nerve and vascular were treated before tendon allograft. Results Because TAM was less than 50% of TPM, the patients were given tenolysis 4-15 months after operation. And the mobil ization began at the first day after operation to improve the range of active movement. Patients were followed up 7-17 years (mean 12.7 years). TAM and TPM were in accord. Mean total mobil ity of joint was200°. Conclusion The serious of primary hurt is the important factors of tendon adhesion. Improvement of tendon selected, treatment and early mobil ization can rel ieve the tendon adhesion.
