  • Effectiveness of simultaneous versus delayed repair of combined full-thickness rotator cuff rupture in proximal humerus fracture

    Objective To compare the effectiveness of simultaneous and delayed repair of combined full-thickness rotator cuff rupture in proximal humerus fracture. Methods Between January 2015 and January 2017, 44 patients with proximal humerus fractures complicated with full-thickness rotator cuff injuries were included. Twenty-four patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and rotator cuff repair simultaneously (simultaneous operation group), and 20 patients underwent delayed arthroscopic rotator cuff repair more than 90 days after ORIF (delayed operation group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, and side of injury between the two groups (P>0.05). The fracture healing was observed by X-ray films. The shoulder function was assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation by using the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score. Results All incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 12-24 months (mean, 17 months). Fractures all healed at 3 months after operation in simultaneous operation group. According to UCLA score, the patients had achieved significantly better outcomes in function, active forward flexion, strength of forward flexion, and subjective satisfaction in simultaneous operation group than in delayed operation group at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in pain between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion For patients with proximal humerus fracture complicated with full-thickness rotator cuff rupture, performing ORIF and simultaneous repair of rotator cuff can improve shoulder function and achieve better effectiveness when compared with delayed repair of rotator cuff.

  • Comparison of the effectiveness of unicompartmental arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty based on patient scale data

    ObjectiveTo compare the patient-reported outcomes regarding function, joint amnesia, and the quality of life after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods The clinical data of patients who received UKA or TKA between September 2017 and June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. After propensity score matching, 40 patients (40 knees) each in TKA group and UKA group were finally included in the study. There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, age, body mass index, surgical side, preoperative knee range of motion, Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, clinical and function scores of knee society score (KSS) (P>0.05). At 2 years after operation, WOMAC score, KSS clinical and function scores were performed on the two groups of patients, and compared with preoperative ones; knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score-physical function short form (KOOS-PS), short-form 36 health survey scale (SF-36 scale), and forgotten joint score (FJS) were also performed. Results At 2 years after operation, the total score of WOMAC, the clinical and function scores of KSS in the two groups significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the total score of WOMAC, the individual score of WOMAC, the clinical and function scores of KSS between the two groups (P>0.05). The total KOOS-PS score in the UKA group was significantly lower than that in the TKA group (t=4.243, P=0.000), and the scores of writhing/knee rotation, kneeling, and squatting in the UKA group were significantly lower than those in the TKA group (P<0.05). The total FJS score in the UKA group was significantly higher than that in the TKA group (t=−6.334, P=0.000). In the UKA group, the scores of 7 items were significantly lower than those of the TKA group (P<0.05) including when walking over 15 minutes, when climbing stairs, when walking on uneven ground, when standing for long periods, when doing housework or gardening, when taking a walk or hiking, and when doing your favorite sport. The SF-36 scales of physiological function, energy, social function, emotional function, and mental health in the UKA group were significantly higher than those in the TKA group (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with TKA, patients treated with UKA may have better knee function recovery, joint amnesia, and higher quality of life.

  • COMPLICATION AFTER SELECTIVE ARTERIAL EMBOLIZATION IN INTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY AND MEDIAN SACRAL ARTERY WITH GELFOAM PARTICLE IN DOGS

    Objective To observe the complication after embolizing the bilateral internal il iac arteries and the median sacral artery of dogs by different combinations and embolization levels with gelfoam particle, and to provide a reference for safety appl ication of gelfoam in cl inic. Methods Sixteen common grade adult healthy dogs (weighing 10-13 kg, 14 males and 2females) were randomly divided into 5 groups. Under the monitoring of digital subtraction angiography (DSA), the embolization was performed with gelfoam particle (diameter, 50-150 μm) in bilateral internal il iac arteries and the main branch of the median sacral artery (group A, n=3), in bilateral internal il iac arteries and the first branch of the median sacral artery (group B, n=3), in the main branch of bilateral internal il iac arteries (group C, n=3), in the unilateral internal il iac artery and the main branch of the median sacral artery (group D, n=4), and in the main branch of unilateral internal il iac artery (group E, n=3). Under the DSA, the anatomic relationships of the abdominal aorta, bilateral external il iac arteries, bilateral internal il iac arteries, and median sacral artery were observed before embol ization. The survival dogs were observed and the specimens of bladder, rectum, sciatic nerve, and gluteal muscles were harvested for the general and histological observations at 3 days after embolization. Results In dogs, there was no common il iac artery; bilateral external il iac arteries originated from the abdominal aorta and the starting of the median sacral artery had variation. Seven dogs (3 in group A, 3 in group C, and 1 in group D) died within 2 days after embolization, and the others survived to the end of the experiment. In the dead dogs of groups A, C, and D, the darkening and necrosis of the rectum were observed; the bladder presented lamellar obfuscation and focal hemorrhage and edema; and the median urinary volume in bladder was 270.6 mL. In survival dogs, no obvious change was observed in the rectum; the bladder only manifested l ight edema; and the median urinary volume in bladder was 137.0, 220.5, and 28.0 mL, respectively in groups B, D, and E.The rectum and bladder of dead dogs in groups A, C, and D manifested the disrupted cells, generous inflammatory cells infiltration, and desquamation of epithel ial cells; the rectum and bladder of survival dogs in groups B, D, and E manifested l ight inflammatory cells infiltration and edema; the embol ized artery mainly focused on the arterioles whose diameter was 100-200 μm. The sciatic nerve and gluteal muscles of each group had no obvious change except for l ight edema. Conclusion When the internal il iac artery and median sacral artery are embol ized with gelfoam particle with a diameter of 50-150 μm, to ensure the safeness of pelvic organs, the embol ized artery can not exceed the first branch when the 3 arteries are embol ized at the same time, or reserve at least unilateral internal il iac artery when embol ized to the trunk , or it will result in pelvic organ necrosis and perforation.

  • EVALUATION OF SPINAL CORD DECOMPRESSION IN POSTERIOR SURGICAL TREATMENT OF THORACOLUMBAR FRACTURE

    Objective To investigate the influence of spinal cord decompression on posterior surgical treatment of thoracolumbar fracture, and to provide the practical basis for the indications of posterior spinal cord decompression Methods The cl inical data were retrospectively analyzed from 170 cases of thoracolumbar fracture treated with posterior surgical treatment between January 2005 and January 2009. There were 119 males and 51 females with an average age of42.7 years (range, 17-68 years). The fracture locations included T11 in 22 cases, T12 in 30 cases, L1 in 57 cases, and L2 in 61 cases. According to Denis classification system, there were 65 cases of compression fractures, 44 cases of burst fractures, 25 cases of flexion-distraction injuries, and 36 cases of fracture-dislocations. The time from injury to operation was 3-8 days (mean, 4.4 days). All the cases were divided into 4 groups according to space-occupying rates of spinal cord: group A, ≤20% (n=32); group B, 21%-40% (n=68); group C, 41%-60% (n=37); and group D, ≥ 61% (n=33). Through statistical analysis, the correlation between space-occupying rates and spinal cord function (Frankel grade) was evaluated, and the necessities of spinal cord decompression was studied in the patients who had neurological symptoms with space-occupying rates under 40%. Results There was no positive correlation between the degree of spinal cord injury and the space-occupying rates of bone fragments broken into the spinal canal. All patients were followed up 13-41 months (mean, 23.5 months). During the follow-up period, no secondary neurological damage occurred in the patients who were not given posterior spinal cord decompression with space-occupying rates under 40% (28 cases). And also in the cohort of patients with neurological symptoms whose space-occupying rates were under 40%, the posterior spinal cord decompression (65 cases) could improve the spinal cord function significantly when compared with no decompression cohort (7 cases), (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion The relative indications of posterior spinal cord decompression for thoracolumbar fracture are as follows: the cases having neurological symptoms with space-occupying rates under 40% and the ones having the neurological symptoms or not with space-occupying rates above 40%.

  • EFFECTS OF NEUROGENESIN 1 GENE ON FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY OF SPINAL CORD INJURY IN RATS AND ITS MECHANISM

    Objective To explore the effects of Neurogenesin 1 (Ng1) gene on functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) and its mechanism. Methods Thirty-six rats (aging 4 months, weighing 230 g and being male or female), were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group (n=18) and control group (n=18). After spinal cord contusive injury at T10 level was made in all these rats using modified Allen’s method, Ng1 recombinant plasmid and blank plasmid were transfectedinto the damaged areas of exprimental group and control group respectively by Alzet pumps. At 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks after SCI, Basso-Beattle-Bresnahan (BBB) Rating Scale was used to observe the recovery of motor function. At 1 week after injury, the expressions of Ng1 mRNA and protein in injured spinal cord were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot techniques. And at 2 and 4 weeks, double immunofluorescence and histopathologic examinations were performed to study the prol iferation of the adult endogenous neural stem cells and pathological change after SCI. Results At 1-4 weeks after SCI, the BBB scores in the exprimental group was significantly higher than that in control group (P lt; 0.05), and at 4 weeks the BBB score of the experimental group (16.80 ± 1.79) was significantly higher than that of the control group (9.60 ± 1.67), (P lt; 0.01). RTPCR and Western blot showed that the mRNA and protein expressions of Ng1 were observed in the exprimental group and no expression was seen in the control group. Histologic observation showed that the morphology of spinal cord and neurons in the exprimental group was better than that in the control group and was close to the normal tissue. The mean number of Nestin+/ BrdU+ newborn endogenous neural stem cells in the exprimental group was significantly more than that in control group (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Ng1 gene could promote the prol iferation of endogenous neural stem cells and protect the injured neurons, which enhances the repair of the motor function after SCI.

  • Effect of anterior cruciate ligament integrity on the short- and mid-term effectiveness of mobile-bearing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty

    ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) integrity on the short- and mid-term effectiveness of mobile-bearing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). MethodsThe clinical data of 128 patients with anteromedial osteoarthritis who underwent mobile-bearing medial UKA between June 2019 and June 2021 was retrospectively analyzed. According to the integrity of ACL structure under direct vision during operation, the patients were divided into normal group (30 cases), synovial defect group (53 cases), and longitudinal split group (45 cases). There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, preoperative knee range of motion (ROM), hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), Knee Society Score (KSS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and other baseline data among the 3 groups (P>0.05). The knee ROM, KSS score (including clinical and functional scores), WOMAC score (including pain, stiffness, and function scores) before operation and at last follow-up, the Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, and Forgetting Joint Score (FJS-12) at last follow-up were recorded and compared among the 3 groups. Imaging examination was performed to evaluate the wear of cartilage in the lateral tibiofemoral compartment and patellofemoral compartment of the knee joint. HKA and posterior tibial slope (PTS) were measured at last follow-up. ResultsAll the patients of 3 groups were followed up 22-56 months (mean, 40.4 months). There was no significant difference in follow-up time among the 3 groups (P>0.05). At last follow-up, imaging examination showed no obvious cartilage wear progression of the lateral tibiofemoral compartment and patellofemoral compartment, and no adverse events such as aseptic loosening of the prosthesis, dislocation of the removable pad, or infection occurred during the follow-up. At last follow-up, knee ROM, HKA, KSS scores, and WOMAC scores of the 3 groups significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the changes of the above indicators before and after operation, and also the Lysholm score, IKDC score, FJS-12 score, and PTS among the 3 groups (P>0.05). ConclusionThe integrity of ACL has no significant effect on the short- and mid-term effectiveness of mobile-bearing medial UKA.
