Objective:To design an anatomical plate of ulna coronoid process using 3D printing and computer model design software based on a collection of CT scanning data of the ulna coronoid process.Methods:The CT scans of the elbow joint with no obvious anatomic variation, no fracture, or no history of elbow operation were collected which had been taken at Trauma Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from September 2017 to January 2022. There were 52 males and 50 females. RadiAnt DICOM Viewer and Mimics Medical 21.0 were used to visualize the CT data of the elbow joint of 102 volunteers. The software was used to measure the angle between the tip of the ulna coronoid process and the tuberosity of the ulna, the width at 1/2 height of the ulna coronoid process, the distance between the tip of the ulna coronoid process and the horizontal plane of the ulna tuberosity, and the safety angle for screw placement. After the values were measured, Siemens Ungraphics NX12.0 software was used to design the anatomical plate and the screw guide device of the ulna coronoid process. After the plate model was designed, a 1:1 actual plate model of the ulna coronoid process was produced by 3D printing. The actual plate model was placed onto an adult model of the ulna coronoid process and an adult cadaveric specimen of the ulna coronoid process to verify its matching degree. An in vitro operation was simulated using the plate model to verify its operability. Results:There were no significant differences between the left and right sides in the angle between the tip of the ulna coronoid process and the tuberosity of the ulna, the width at 1/2 height of the ulna coronoid process, the distance between the tip of the ulna coronoid process and the horizontal plane of the ulna tuberosity, or the safety angle for screw placement in either males or females ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences between males and females in the angle between the tip of the ulna coronoid process and the tuberosity of the ulna or in the safety angle for screw placement ( P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences between males and females in the width of 1/2 height of the ulna coronoid process and the distance between the tip of the ulna coronoid process and the horizontal plane of the ulna tuberosity ( P<0.05). However, the experiments on computer simulative adaptation and plate model simulative adaptation found that the anatomical plates of the ulna coronoid process designed on various parameters of males and females were exchangeable, leading to similarly good marching degrees and safe angles for screw placement. Conclusions:The anatomical plate of the ulna coronoid process designed in this study demonstrates a good fit and a safe angle for screw placement, basically achieving the goal expected to provide a basis for fabrication of a titanium alloy plate. In design of an anatomical plate of ulna coronoid process, it is not necessary to differentiate males from females or to differentiate the left side from the right one, because only a general plate can be used for both males and females and for both the left and the right sides.

Objective:To investigate the effect of fat mass index (FMI) on early recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:Patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA in Xi'an Honghui Hospital from July 2020 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The preoperative body composition was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and the FMI was calculated. Patients were divided into normal group (male: 3.0-6.0 kg/m 2; female: 5.0-9.0 kg/m 2), overweight group (male: 6.1-9.0 kg/m 2; female: 9.1-13.0 kg/m 2), and obese group (male: >9 kg/m 2; female: >13 kg/m 2) according to level of FMI, and the operation time, blood loss, and incidence of postoperative complications were collected. Multifactorial analysis of the effect of FMI on early recovery after TKA was performed using a generalized linear model. Draw the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve of BMI and FMI on the predicted effect of postoperative Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index scores and Knee Society Score (KSS) to compare the effect of FMI with BMI on early recovery after TKA. Results:A total of 100 patients were included in the study, 24 males and 76 females, aged 65.0±8.2 years (range, 42-81 years). There were 15 cases in normal group, 55 cases in overweight group and 30 cases in obese group. All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 3.15±0.72 months (range, 2.8-3.2 months). The WOMAC scores of the obese group at 2 weeks, 1 and 2 months postoperative were 34.57±3.68, 22.03±2.79, and 15.77±2.96, which were greater than those of the normal group (28.73 ±2.58, 19.07±2.71, 12.27±3.10), as well as the overweight group (30.05±4.09, 19.33±2.42, 14.84±2.42), with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). The KSS scores of the obese group at postoperative 1 and 2 months were 68.83±5.52 and 81.17±4.49, which were lower than those of the normal group (77.33±5.63, 87.33±4.17), as well as the overweight group (72.64±5.43, 83.73 ±5.02), with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). The WOMAC score, KSS score, and postoperative complications at 2 months postoperatively were selected as outcome indicators to plot the ROC curve, and the ROC curve for the WOMAC score at 2 months postoperatively showed an area under the curve corresponding to FMI of 0.744 (95% CI: 0.54, 0.82), which was greater than that of BMI [0.624 (95% CI: 0.51, 0.74)], and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=2.19, P=0.021). The ROC curve for the KSS score at 2 months postoperatively showed an area under the curve corresponding to FMI of 0.718 (95% CI: 0.62, 0.82), which was greater than that of BMI [0.612 (95% CI: 0.52, 0.74)], with a statistically significant difference ( Z=2.58, P=0.016). The ROC curve for postoperative complications showed an area under the curve of 0.639 (95% CI: 0.41, 0.88) for FMI and 0.605 (95% CI: 0.37, 0.84) for BMI, with no statistically significant difference ( Z=0.48, P=0.632). Conclusion:The greater the FMI the poorer the early functional recovery after initial TKA, and FMI is more valuable than BMI in predicting the early functional recovery.

Objective:To compare the advantages and disadvantages of hemiarthroplasty (HA) and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures in the elderly patients.Methods:Pubmed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Chinese databases like CNKI, Wanfang Data and Weipu were searched for studies comparing HA and RSA in the treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures in the elderly (>60 years) from 2000 to 2020. After the studies were included and excluded by a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria and evaluated for their quality, their radiological and functional data were extracted and analyzed using software Stata 14.0.Results:Included in this meta-analysis were 11 studies with a total of 771 patients. RSA was superior to HA in outcomes like forward flexion ( SMD=-1.043, 95% CI: -1.551 to -0.534, P=0.000), abduction ( SMD=-0.811, 95% CI: -1.470 to -0.153, P=0.016), Constant score ( SMD=-0.699, 95% CI: -1.118 to -0.280, P=0.001), American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons’ Form (ASES) ( SMD=-0.931, 95% CI: -1.256 to -0.606, P<0.001), and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) ( SMD=-0.598, 95% CI: -1.181 to -0.016, P=0.044). HA led to a higher complication rate ( RR=2.14, 95% CI: 1.11 to 4.14, P=0.024), a higher joint stiffness rate ( RR=6.467,95% CI: 1.923 to 21.755, P=0.003) and a higher revision rate ( RR=5.796, 95% CI: 1.927 to 17.434, P=0.002). There were no statistically significant differences between RSA and HA in tuber healing rate ( RR=0.850, 95% CI: 0.669 to 1.080, P=0.182), internal rotation ( SMD=0.536, 95% CI: -0.394 to 1.466, P=0.259), external rotation ( SMD=-0.366, 95% CI: -0.916 to 0.184, P=0.192), implant infection ( RR=1.550, 95% CI: 0.330 to 7.286, P=0.579) or Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score ( SMD=0.286, 95% CI: -0.278 to 0.850, P=0.032). Although there was no significant difference between RSA and HA in visual analogue scale (VAS) score ( SMD=0.440, 95% CI: -0.113 to 0.993, P=0.119), RSA scored better ( SMD=-1.101, 95% CI: -2.090 to -0.112, P=0.029). Conclusion:For elderly patients (>60 years) with complex proximal humeral fracture, RSA may be a more effective surgical intervention which can lead to better early and mid-term clinical outcomes than HA.
