【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the relationships between residual displacement of weight-bearing and non weight-bearing zones (gap displacement and step displacement) and hip function by analyzing the CT images after reconstruction of acetabular fractures. Methods The CT measures and clinical outcome were retrospectively analyzed from 48 patients with displaced acetabular fracture between June 2004 and June 2009. All patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation, and were followed up 24 to 72 months (mean, 36 months); all fractures healed after operation. The residual displacement involved the weight-bearing zone in 30 cases (weight-bearing group), and involved the non weight-bearing zone in 18 cases (non weight-bearing group). The clinical outcomes were evaluated by Merle d’Aubigné-Postel criteria, and the reduction of articular surface by CT images, including the maximums of two indexes (gap displacement and step displacement). All the data were analyzed in accordance with the Spearman rank correlation coefficient analysis. Results There was b negative correlation between the hip function and the residual displacement values in weight-bearing group (rs= — 0.722, P=0.001). But there was no correlation between the hip function and the residual displacement values in non weight-bearing group (rs=0.481, P=0.059). The results of clinical follow-up were similar to the correlation analysis results. In weight-bearing group, the hip function had b negative correlation with step displacement (rs= — 0.825, P=0.002), but it had no correlation with gap displacement (rs=0.577, P=0.134). Conclusion In patients with acetabular fracture, the hip function has correlation not only with the extent of the residual displacement but also with the location of the residual displacement, so the residual displacement of weight-bearing zone is a key factor to affect the hip function. In patients with residual displacement in weight-bearing zone, the bigger the step displacement is, the worse the hip function is.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficiency of balloon occlusion of the lower abdominal aorta in blood loss control during resections of pelvic or sacral tumor. MethodsFrom April 2006 to April 2010, 24 patients diagnosed as pelvic or sacral tumor in this hospital were collected. Balloon occlusion of the lower abdominal aorta to control blood loss was used in these cases. Balloon catheters were placed via femoral artery to occlude the abdominal aorta before operation. Resections of pelvic or sacral tumors were performed after occlusion of abdominal aorta, duration no longer than 60 min per occlusion, if repeated occlusions needed, 10－15 min release in between. Results Average operative time was 153 min (range 40－245 min) and average blood loss was 310 ml (range 200－650 ml) in this series, and the procedure helped in clearly identifying the surgical margin, neurovascular structures, and adjacent organs. The blood pressure were stable in all the cases. No postoperative renal function impairment was found in all the cases, no side injuries to adjacent organs was identified. One case complicated with thrombosis in iliac artery at same puncture side was successfully treated with catheter thrombectomy. ConclusionIntraoperative abdominal aorta balloon occluding in pelvic and sacral tumor surgical operation could reduce blood loss, and improve the safety of operation.
Objective To discuss the surgical selection and effectiveness for patients with recurrent giant cell tumor of bone. Methods Between February 1988 and June 2007, 79 patients with recurrent giant cell tumor of bone were treated. There were 42 males and 37 females, with a mean age of 33.1 years (range, 15-72 years). In primary surgery, 76 patients underwent intralesional curettage, and the other 3 patients underwent resection; the recurrence time was 2-176 months after primary surgery. The locations of tumor were upper extremities in 14 cases and lower extremities in 65 cases. According to Companacci grade, 1 case was at grade I, 33 cases at grade II, and 45 cases at grade III before primary surgery. In secondary operation, 37 patients underwent intralesional curettage and bone grafting combined with adjuvant inactivated, and 42 patients underwent wide resection. Results Bone allograft immune rejection occurred in 2 cases, which led to poor healing; primary healing of incision was obtained in the other patients. The patients were followed up 68 months on average (range, 18-221 months). Recurrence occurred in 12 patients at 6-32 months after operation. The re-recurrence rate was 24.3% (9/37) in cases of intralesional curettage and bone grafting combined with adjuvant inactivated, and they were given the wide resection. The re-recurrence rate was 7.1% (3/42) in cases of wide resection and they were amputated. There was significant difference in the re-recurrence rate between the intralesional curettage and the wide resection (χ2=4.508, P=0.034). No recurrence was observed during 3-year follow-up among re-recurrence patients. Conclusion For benign recurrent giant cell tumor of bone, intralesional curettage and bone grafting combined with adjunctive therapy could get an acceptable effectiveness, however, it has higher local recurrence than wide resection. For large tumor and recurrent malignant giant cell tumor of bone, wide resection is recommended.
Objective To study the cl inical effect of expert tibial nail (ETN) in the treatment of the complex tibial fractures of type C. Methods From May to October 2008, 10 cases of complex tibial fractures of type C were treated with unreamed ETN and closed reduction. There were 7 males and 3 females aging from 23 to 50 years with an average age of 39 years. Fracture was caused by traffic accident in 6 cases, by crush in 2 cases, and by fall ing from height in 2 cases. According to Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO/ASIF) classification, there were 2 cases of 42-C1 fractures, 4 cases of42-C2 fractures, and 4 cases of 42-C3 fractures; including 4 cases of closed fractures and 6 cases of open fractures (2 cases of Gustilo type I and 4 cases of Gustilo type II). Results The mean duration of surgery and blood loss were 75 minutes (range, 60-110 minutes) and 55 mL (range, 20-100 mL), respectively. All the incision healed by first intension without compl ication of infection. All cases were followed up for 12-17 months (average 14 months). X-ray films showed that no breakage of nail, iatrogenic fracture, l imb shortening, and angulation deformity occurred. All fractures healed after 3-8 months (average 4.2 months). At last follow-up according to Johner-Wruhs standard for the functional recovery, the results were excellent in 8 cases and good in 2 cases. Conclusion ETN has an angular stable locking system for intramedullary nails, which can enhance axial and transverse stabil ity for the treatment of complex tibial fractures of type C. It will provide firm fixation and minimal invasion.
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter angiographic embol ization (AE) in the control of massive haemorrhage from large wound due to crush syndrome after Wenchuan earthquake. Methods From May 12 to May 26, 2008, 11 injured persons in Wenchuan earthquake with massive haemorrhage from large wound due to crush syndrome were treated, including 6 males and 5 females aged 16-36 years old (average 21 years old). All 19 wounds were infected.The hemorrhage was from the hip in 7 cases, the thigh stump in 3 cases, and the shoulder in 1 case. Six patients had hemorrhagic shock. All patients underwent arteriography to locate the bleeding artery, and transcatheter AE was performed according to the result of arteriography. Contrast-enhanced spiral CT scan and three-dimensional angiography were performed 48 hours after AE to evaluate leakage of contrast media and collapse of distal artery of embol ism site. Results Angiography for 11 injured persons after AE showed no occurrence of contrast media leakage, faint shadow to the distal branch artery of embol ic level, and significant increase of blood pressure of the bleeding artery, indicating the embol ization was successful. No active hemorrhage was evident in the wounds 48 hours after AE. For the 6 patients with hemorrhagic shock, obvious decrease of hemorrhage was observed after AE, gradual recovery of blood pressure and vital signs, and stabil ity of their condition were evident after supportive therapy. During the first 24 hours after AE, total volume of infusion was 6 750-19 600 mL (average 8 740 mL), and total volume of blood and plasma transfusion was 1 800-6 400 mL (average 3 500 mL). In 6 cases, contrast-enhanced spiral CT scan demonstrated faint shadow of the distal artery without contrast media leakage, and three-dimensional CT angiography showed collapse of the distal artery; in the rest 5 cases, contrast-enhanced spiral CT scan demonstrated shadow of the distal artery without contrast media leakage, and three-dimensional CT angiography displayed the full-fill ing of distal artery with obviously decreased vascular cavity. No severe compl ications such as muscle necrosis in the buttock and hip, bladder necrosis,dysuria, fecal incontinence, and impotence occurred. Conclusion The transcatheter AE is a safe, fast, effective and miniinvasive method of controll ing massive haemorrhage from large wound caused by crush syndrome after Wenchuan earthquake.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-term effectiveness of patients received surgical treatment under the guidance of “West China Classification” of desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) in the shoulder girdle.MethodsThe clinical data of 32 patients with DTF in the shoulder girdle admitted between June 2003 and December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including 14 males and 18 females, aged 14-56 years with an average age of 36.8 years. The maximum diameter of the tumor was 7-19 cm, with an average of 11.1 cm. According to the “West China Classification” of DTF in the shoulder girdle, there were 4 cases of region Ⅰ, 3 cases of region Ⅱ, 6 cases of region Ⅲ, 3 cases of region Ⅳ, 5 cases of regions Ⅰ+Ⅱ, 5 cases of regions Ⅱ+Ⅲ, and 6 cases of regions Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ. In addition, the involvement of blood vessels and nerves was also taken into consideration for choosing a surgical approach. Finally, 12 cases were operated via anteroposterior approach (group A), 14 via posterior approach (group B), and 6 via combined anterior-posterior approach (group C). The 1993 Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS93) score (including pain, limb function, satisfaction, hand position, hand flexibility, and lifting ability), Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, range of motion (ROM) of shoulder joint (including flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction), and complications of patients in the 3 groups were recorded and compared.ResultsAll the 32 patients were followed up 30-190 months, with an average of 94.6 months. At last follow-up, complications occurred in 5 cases (15.6%), including 2 cases (16.6%) in group A, 2 (14.3%) in group B, and 1 (16.6%) in group C. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications among the 3 groups (P=1.000). Tumor recurrence occurred in 5 (15.6%) cases, including 1 (8.3%) case in group A, 2 (14.3%) in group B, and 1 (16.6%) in group C. No significant difference was found in the recurrence rate among the 3 groups (P=1.000). At last follow-up, MSTS93 score of pain, limb function, satisfaction, hand flexibility, and hand position in groups A and B were significantly better than those in group C (P<0.05), even though no significant difference existed between group A and group B (P>0.05). The lifting ability score in group C was significantly lower than in group A (P<0.05), and no significant difference was found between other groups (P>0.05). The JOA score and flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction activities of shoulder in groups A and B were significantly better than those in group C (P<0.05). The extension activity in group A was significantly better than that in group B (P<0.05), the flexion activity in group B was significantly better than that in group A (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in other indexes between groups A and B (P>0.05).ConclusionTaking a rational approach to fully expose and completely remove the tumor is the key point of surgical treatment for patients with DTF in the shoulder girdle. At the same time, preservation of vital structures and reconstruction of soft tissues should also be taken into consideration. Overall, surgical treatment under the guidance of “West China Classification” of DTF in the shoulder girdle has achieved satisfactory long-term effectiveness.

Objective To review the methods of repair and reconstruction of the large segmental bone tumor defect in distal tibia. Methods The related literature of repair and reconstruction of the large segmental bone tumor defect in disatal tibia was reviewed and analyzed in terms of the reserved ankle joint and the non-reserved ankle joint. Results For large segmental bone tumor defect in distal tibia, the conventional allograft bone transplantation, vascularized autologous fibular transplantation, vascularized fibular allograft, inactivated tumor regeneration, distraction osteogenesis, and bone transport techniques can be selected, and the membrane-induced osteogenesis, artificial tumor stem prosthesis, three-dimensional printed metal trabecular prosthesis, ankle arthrodesis, artificial tumor ankle joint placement surgery are gradually to be applied to repair the bone defect. Moreover, due to its long survival time, the function of reconstructed bone tumor defect in the distal tibia has also received increasing attention. Conclusion Although the ideal methods has not yet been developed, great progress has been achieved in repair and reconstruction of the large segmental bone tumor defect in the distal tibia. Recently, with the appearance of three-dimensional printing and various preoperative simulation techniques, personalized and precise therapy could become ture, but therapies for the large segmental bone tumor defect in the distal tibia still need to be further explored.
ObjectiveTo investigate the procedure and effectiveness of total femoral replacement for treating femur malignant tumor.MethodsThe clinical data of 9 patients with femoral malignant tumors who underwent total femoral replacement between July 2013 and March 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 males and 4 females, aged 16-75 years with an average of 44.8 years. The disease duration ranged from 2 to 6 months with an average of 3.5 months. There were 5 cases of osteosarcoma (3 cases were staged as Enneking ⅡB, 2 cases were staged as Enneking Ⅲ), 1 case of malignant fibrosarcoma (staged as Enneking ⅡB), 1 case of chondrosarcoma (staged as Enneking ⅠB), 2 cases of femoral muti-metastasis of lung cancer with pathological fracture. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score and the quality of life (QOL) score of the tumor patients were evaluated before operation and at 3 months after operation. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score and Harris hip score (HHS) were evaluated at last follow-up.ResultsNine patients were followed up 11-58 months, with an average of 21 months. No complication such as wound infection, joint dislocation, and nerve injury occurred. One patient developed popliteal vein thrombosis, and 2 patients with osteosarcoma died of tumor progression. The VAS score and QOL score at 3 months after operation were 3.2±1.2 and 40.6±5.4 respectively, which were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones (5.9±0.8 and 22.3±4.2 respectively) (t=11.314, P=0.000; t=–7.794, P=0.000). At last follow-up, the MSTS score was 15-29 with an average of 21.1, and the HHS score was 44-90 with an average of 66.5.ConclusionTotal femoral replacement is an effective limb salvage procedure for the treatment of femoral malignant tumors, which can effectively restore the weight-bearing and walking function, relieve pain, and improve the quality of life.
