Objective To evaluate the surgical treatment and its results of complex tibial plateau fractures.Methods From May 2003 to November 2004, 24 cases of complex tibial plateau fractures were treated by two-incision approaches. There were 16 males(including 1 case of bilateral), and8 females, with mean age of 40.6 years(21-65 years), eleven fractures occurred in left extremity and 14 in the right. No patients suffered open fractures. Fracture was caused by fall from height in 10 cases, by traffic accident in 12 cases and by another causes in 2 cases. According to Schatzkerclassification, type Ⅴ fracture was found in 14 extremities，type Ⅵ in 11 extremities. All cases were operated with twoincision approaches and double-plates fixation. The operation was performed 6-15 days after injury with mean 10.4 days. Results All cases were followed up from 12 to 23 months (mean 15.6 months). Time of the bone healing was 69 months, with mean 7.4 months. No reduction of anatomy was achieved because of comminuted fractures of articular surfaces in 2 limbs. The line of the lower extremity did not recover because of metaphysis comminution in 1 limb, which led to knee varus. Epidermal necrolysis was observed in 3 limbs, and the wound healedafter change dressing. The function of the knee wasevaluated according to Rasmussen’s criteria, the results were excellent in 10limbs, good in 8 limbs, fair in 3 limbs, and poor in 4 limbs. Conclusion The twoincision approaches reduced the complication of softtissueinjury, which is conductive to reduction of articular surface. Double-plates provide a sufficient internal fixation. It can permit early motion of knee joint. Therefore, two-incision approach are an effective surgical approach of treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures.
Objective To review the research progress of graphene and its derivatives in repair of peripheral nerve defect. Methods The related literature of graphene and its derivatives in repair of peripheral nerve defect in recent years was extensively reviewed. Results It is confirmed by in vitro and in vivo experiments that graphene and its derivatives can promote cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation and neurite growth effectively. They have good electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, larger specific surface area, and other advantages when compared with traditional materials. The three-dimensional scaffold can improve the effect of nerve repair. Conclusion The metabolic pathways and long-term reaction of graphene and its derivatives in the body are unclear. How to regulate their biodegradation and explain the electric coupling reaction mechanism between cells and materials also need to be further explored.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing blood transfusion and total blood loss in patients undergoing orthopaedic trauma surgery.MethodsA systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases. A search for grey literature was also performed in American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA). The search time was up to June 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias, then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 softwares.ResultsA total of 10 studies were included, including 936 patients. The pooled results indicated that TXA group was superior to the control group in blood transfusion (RR=0.75, 95%CI 0.63 to 0.89, P=0.001), the total blood loss (MD=–157.61, 95%CI –250.09 to –65.13, P=0.000 8) and the wound complications (RR=0.24, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.58, P=0.002). There was no significant difference in risk of thromboembolic events (RR=1.25, 95%CI 0.78 to 2.00, P=0.36) and the mortality (RR=0.81, 95%CI 0.40 to 1.66, P=0.57) between TXA and control group.ConclusionsTXA can effectively reduce blood transfusion, total blood loss and wound complications in patients undergoing orthopedic trauma surgery. Furthermore, TXA does not significantly increase the incidence of thromboembolic events and mortality. Due to the limited quality of included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.
Objective To explore the shortcomings of the traditional clinical probation teaching mode, propose and implement the interactive teaching mode, so as to stimulate the students’ interest in knowledge and achieve better teaching effects. Methods The students of Grade 2017 who had clinical probation in the Orthopaedic Trauma Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from September 2020 to December 2021 were selected. Students were randomly divided into traditional clinical probation teaching mode group and interactive teaching mode group according to random number table method. Wechat mini program anonymous questionnaire survey was used to evaluate students’ satisfaction with the interactive teaching model of orthopaedic trauma and the teaching effect. Results A total of 110 students were enrolled, 55 in the traditional clinical probation teaching mode group and 55 in the interactive teaching mode group. There was no significant difference in gender or age between the two groups (P>0.05). The students in the interactive teaching mode group were better than those in the traditional clinical probation teaching mode group in orthopedic theory test (90.13±3.65 vs. 88.39±3.74; t=2.469, P=0.015) in the orthopedic theory test, teacher evaluation (89.15±2.94 vs. 87.56±3.12; t=2.751, P=0.007) and student self-evaluation (89.07±3.18 vs. 87.41±2.89; t=2.865, P=0.005). The teaching satisfaction of the interactive teaching group was higher than that of the traditional teaching group (96.36% vs. 87.27%; Z=−2.159, P=0.031). Conclusion Interactive teaching mode can effectively stimulate students’ interest in knowledge seeking, improve the enthusiasm and interaction of clinical probation, and effectively improve the satisfaction of undergraduate orthopaedic trauma clinical probation teaching.
Objective To study the outcomes of nerve defect repair with the tissue engineered nerve, which is composed of the complex of SCs, 30% ECM gel, bFGF-PLGA sustained release microspheres, PLGA microfilaments and permeable poly (D, L-lacitic acid) (PDLLA) catheters. Methods SCs were cultured and purified from the sciatic nerves of 1-day-old neonatal SD rats. The 1st passage cells were compounded with bFGF-PLGA sustained release microspheres andECM gel, and then were injected into permeable PDLLA catheters with PLGA microfilaments inside. In this way, the tissueengineered nerve was constructed. Sixty SD rats were included. The model of 15-mm sciatic nerve defects was made, and then the rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, with 12 rats in each. In group A, autograft was adopted. In group B, the blank PDLLA catheters with PBS inside were used. In group C, PDLLA catheters, with PLGA microfilaments and 30% ECM gel inside, were used. In group D, PDLLA catheters, with PLGA microfilaments, SCs and 30% ECM gel inside, were used. In group E, the tissue engineered nerve was appl ied. After the operation, observation was made for general conditions of the rats. The sciatic function index (SFI) analysis was performed at 12, 16, 20 and 24 weeks after the operation, respectively. Eelectrophysiological detection and histological observation were performed at 12 and 24 weeks after the operation, respectively. Results All rats survived to the end of the experiment. At 12 and 16 weeks after the operation, group E was significantly different from group B in SFI (P lt; 0.05). At 20 and 24 weeks after the operation, group E was significantly different from groups B and C in SFI (P lt; 0.05). At 12 weeks after the operation, electrophysiological detection showed nerve conduct velocity (NCV) of group E was bigger than that of groups B and C (P lt; 0.05), and compound ampl itude (AMP) as well as action potential area (AREA） of group E were bigger than those of groups B, C and D (P lt; 0.05). At 24 weeks after the operation, NCV, AMP and AREA of group E were bigger than those of groups B and C (Plt; 0.05). At 12 weeks after the operation, histological observation showed the area of regenerated nerves and the number of myel inated fibers in group E were significantly differents from those in groups A, B and C (Plt; 0.05). The density and diameter of myel inated fibers in group E were smaller than those in group A (Plt; 0.05), but bigger than those in groups B, C and D (P lt; 0.05). At 24 weeks after the operation, the area of regenerative nerves in group E is bigger than those in group B (P lt; 0.05); the number of myel inated fibers in group E was significantly different from those in groups A, B, C (P lt; 0.05); and the density and diameter of myel inated fibers in group E were bigger than those in groups B and C (Plt; 0.05). Conclusion The tissue engineered nerve with the complex of SCs, ECM gel, bFGF-PLGA sustained release microspheres, PLGA microfilaments and permeables PDLLA catheters promote nerve regeneration and has similar effect to autograft in repair of nerve defects.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of operative treatment versus nonoperative treatment in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD).MethodsPubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, and CQVIP databases were searched for controlled studies about operative treatment versus nonoperative treatment for ASD published up till June 2019. ClinicalTrials.gov was searched for grey literatures informally published up till June 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literatures, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 softwares.ResultsA total of 10 non-randomized controlled studies were included, including 1 601 patients. The pooled results indicated that the operative group was superior to the nonoperative group in ability improvement [the increment of Scoliosis Research Society-22 score: weighted mean difference (WMD)=0.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.69, 0.70), P<0.000 01; the decrement of Oswestry Disability Index score: WMD=11.12, 95%CI (10.74, 11.50), P<0.000 01], pain relief [the decrement of Numeric Rating Scale score: WMD=3.25, 95%CI (3.16, 3.35), P<0.000 01], and Cobb correction [WMD=14.06°, 95%CI (13.60, 14.53)°, P<0.000 01]. The incidence of complications was higher in the operative group than that in the nonoperative group [relative risk=5.38, 95%CI (3.67, 7.88), P<0.000 01].ConclusionsSurgery shows superior efficacy on ability improvement, pain relief, and Cobb correction compared with nonoperative treatment in ASD patients, though its incidence of complications is high. Nonoperative treatment is also an effective treatment for patients with poor physical condition and intolerance to surgery. Due to the limited quantity and quality of included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.
