Objective:To investigate the antibacterial and osteogenic properties of biomimetic mineralized iodine-loaded coating with micro-nano topography on the surface of bone implants.Methods:After the fiber network structure of sodium hydrogen titanate was constructed by alkali thermal reaction on the surface of Ti6Al4V (noted as AT), it was biomimetically mineralized in the modified simulated body fluid to form a micro-nano topology with high specific surface area (noted as AT-CaP), and finally loaded with PVPI to construct a novel antibacterial osseointegration coating (noted as AT-CaP-PVPI). The study was conducted in AT, AT-CaP, and AT-CaP-PVPI groups, in each of which 3 parallel experiments were performed. The morphology and colony counting of Staphylococcus aureus on the coating surface were observed to detect the in vitro antibacterial performance of the coating. Fifteen male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=5): AT, AT-CaP, and AT-CaP-PVPI. After intramedullary injection of Staphylococcus aureus into the lower end of the femur in the SD rats, titanium rods coated with AT, AT-CaP, and AT-CaP-PVPI were inserted into the marrow cavity. The osteogenesis, volume ratio of new bone mass and number of trabeculae on the surface of the femoral implants were compared between the 3 groups 4 weeks after operation. Results:In AT and AT-CaP groups, a large number of bacteria grew in their inherent elliptical or spherical shape on the implant surface and a large number of colonies were seen on the plate; in AT-CaP-PVPI group, the bacteria on the coating surface exhibited membrane deformation and depression, some of them were completely broken and dissolved, and a large number died. There was almost no new bone formation around the implants in AT group; new bone scattered around the implants with discontinuous distribution in AT-CaP group; a great amount of new bone was seen around the implants with even distribution but no signs of infection in AT-CaP-PVPI group. The volume ratio of new bone mass and the number of trabeculae on the implant surface in AT-CaP-PVPI group were 0.453±0.206 and 6.055±0.536, respectively, significantly higher than those in AT group (0.046±0.028 and 1.667±1.249) and AT-CaP group (0.188±0.052 and 3.804±0.889) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Biomimetic mineralized iodine-loaded coating with micro-nano topography on the surface of bone implants shows good antibacterial and osteogenic properties.

Objective:To compare the therapeutic effects between sequential therapy of external-internal fixation and internal fixation alone in the treatment of high-energy pilon fracture.Methods:A total of 61 patients with high-energy pilon fracture were enrolled by our team for this retrospective analysis who had been treated from January 2015 to July 2017. They received sequential therapy of external-internal fixation (the sequential group) or internal fixation alone (the internal group). In the sequential group of 26 cases, there were 19 males and 7 females (aged from 18 to 65 years), 4 cases of type C1, 8 cases of type C2 and 14 cases of type C3 by the OTA classification, and 7 cases of closed injury and 19 cases of open injury. In the internal group of 35 cases, there were 25 males and 10 females (aged from 19 to 64 years), 6 cases of type C1, 13 cases of type C2 and 16 cases of type C3 by the OTA classification, and 21 cases of closed injury and 14 cases of open injury. The 2 groups were compared in terms of postoperative infection, fracture reduction, fracture union time, nonunion, American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, short form 36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36) and reduced range of motion between healthy and affected ankles.Results:There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in gender, age, fracture type, injury cause or follow-up time ( P>0.05), but a significant difference in soft tissue injury favoring the sequential group ( P=0.010). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in postoperative infection rate [15.4% (4/26) versus 17.1% (6/35)], fracture reduction, fracture union time [(7.4±3.4) months versus (6.5±3.2) months], nonunion rate [7.7% (2/26) versus 8.6% (3/35)], AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score (71.7±29.4 versus 74.4±19.5), or SF-36 (83.1±9.9 versus 83.8±7.9) ( P>0.05). The reduced range of motion between healthy and affected ankles at 6 months postoperation in the sequential group (34.6°±7.2°) was significantly greater than that in the internal group (23.7°±5.1°) ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the reduced range of motion between healthy and affected ankles at 2 years postoperation (26.0°±11.1° versus 21.8°±11.3°) ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Although both sequential therapy of external-internal fixation and internal fixation alone can lead to fine clinical efficacy in the treatment of high-energy pilon fracture, the former may be more suitable for the patients with severe soft tissue injury.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of emergency ectopic embedment of a large extruded bone mass in the treatment of open lower limb bone defects.Methods:From June 2015 to June 2019, 11 patients were treated for open lower limb bone defects at Department of Traumatic Orthopedics & Microsurgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University by primary ectopic embedment of a large extruded bone mass. They were 8 males and 3 females, aged from 18 to 57 years (mean, 35.3 years). The time from injury to operation ranged from 4 to 12 hours (mean, 6.3 hours). The size of free bone mass ranged from 3 to 16 cm (mean, 8.7 cm). At the emergency primary stage, following vascular and nerve anastomosis, large extruded bone masses were embedded ectopically to the sites with rich blood supply after cleaning and disinfection. The embedment was lateral to the thigh in 9 cases and in the groin in 2 cases. Wound repair was performed at the second stage, and bone replantation at the third stage, followed by internal plate fixation in 6 cases and external fixation in 5 cases. Fracture union was evaluated by regular X-ray follow-ups. At the last follow-up, Paley score was used to evaluate the curative outcomes, SF-36 score to evaluate functional recovery, and complications were recorded.Results:All patients were followed up for 6 to 50 months (mean, 15.5 months). Follow-ups observed no osteomyelitis. Fracture union was delayed in the 2 cases with external fixation but eventually achieved after bone graft and internal fixation. All fractures united after 5 to 12 months (mean, 8.5 months). The total treatment time ranged from 8 to 16 months (mean, 12.5 months). According to the Paley scores at the last follow-up, 7 cases were excellent, 3 good and one was poor, giving an excellent to good rate of 90.9% (10/11). The SF-36 scores for the postoperative quality of life averaged 86.7.Conclusion:Emergency ectopic embedment of a large extruded bone mass is a feasible treatment for open lower limb bone defects, with advantages of simplicity in operation and a low incidence of osteomyelitis.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of tissue transplantation combined with Ilizarov distraction technique in reconstruction of lower limb anatomical structure and the recovery of lower limb functions.Methods:From October, 2010 to April, 2019, tissue transplantation combined with Ilizarov distraction technique was used to reconstruct the anatomical structures and functions of 51 lower limb defects, including 17 in proximal tibia, 27 in distal tibia, 4 partial defects of calcaneus and 3 in metatarsal bones. Surgical operations were carried out in 2 phases. Transplantation of free flaps to cover the wound surface was performed in the first phase. Thirty-three free anterolateral femoral flaps, 8 groin flaps, 5 anterolateral medial femoral flaps, 3 thoracic umbilical flaps, and 2 alissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flaps were transplanted, with the sizes ranged from 3.5 cm×15.0 cm to 8.0 cm×25.0 cm. In the second phase, Ilizarov ring rack or customer-designed distractor were applied/employed and 44 cases applied with Ilizarov ring racks and 7 cases with self-designed distractors. Regular postoperative followed-up.Results:All flaps survived. There was 1 partial necrosis on the anterolateral femoral flap and 3 postoperative infections. Bone transport was applied to repair 36 tibia defects, bone transport combined with limb extension to restore the length of limb in 8 cases, bone transverse or longitudinal distraction was applied to restore the shape of calcaneus in 4 cases, and longitudinal or transverse distraction was applied to restore the foot arch in 3 cases with metatarsal defects. Followed-up for 9 months to 2 years. There was no recurrence of osteomyelitis after the second operation. Bone healings were achieved in the articulation ends and extension areas of bone transport. The excellent rate of Paley bone score was 98.0%, the average SF-36 score was 88.9, and the average AOFAS score was 79.5.Conclusion:Tissue transplantation together with the Ilizarov technology is able to reconstruct a combined bone and soft tissue defect of lower limb and restore functions of the affected limb to the greatest extent.

To evaluate the efficacy of green surgery pathway on senile hip fractures. Methods The green surgery pathway was implement in senile (≥75 years) hip fracture cases in our department since March 2016. A historically con?trolled trial study was designed: 97 senile hip fracture patients admitted between March 2016 and March 2017 were included in the intervention group and 78 senile hip fracture patients admitted between March 2015 and March 2016 were included in the con?trol group. The patients’general information were recorded, including gender, age, type of fracture, internal medical conditions, surgery method, the American Association of Anesthesiologists classification of physical status (ASA) classification, et al. The hip function was evaluated by the Harris score system at one week,6 months and one year after surgery. The waiting time for operation, operation time, length of hospital stay, complications during hospitalization and hip Harris score were compared between the two groups. Results For the baseline data between the two groups in terms of gender, age, fracture type, surgery method, ASA classi?fication, and combined underlying disease, the differences were not statistically significant. The waiting time for operation of the green surgery pathway group (36.3±7.8 h) was significantly shorter than that in the control group (46.9±11.4 h, t=6.995, P=0.000). The operation time of the green surgery pathway group was 45.4±17.5 min, and that of the control group was 43.8±20.8 min, the differences were not statistically significant. The length of hospital stay in the green surgery pathway group (6.8±2.4 d) was signifi?cantly shorter than that in the control group (9.5±2.8 d), the difference was statistically significant (t=6.866, P=0.000). In the green surgery pathway group, one patient developed acute myocardial infarction at 15 h after surgery and died of invalid rescue. In the control group, one patient developed acute cerebral hemorrhage 3 d after surgery and died of invalid rescue. The incidence of pul?monary infection, urinary tract infection, and acne in the green surgery pathway group were lower than that in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (χ2PI=5.081, PPI=0.024; χ2UI=6.841, PUI=0.009; χ2acne=11.768, Pcne=0.001). For the inci?dence of acute myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis between the two groups, the differences were not statistically significant. The Harris score of hip in the green surgery pathway was higher than that in the control group (72.6±13.1 points vs 62.2±15.4 points, t=4.826, P=0.000) one week after the surgery, the difference was statistically significant. While the score was slightly higher than that of the control group in the half year (93.8±16.8 vs 90.5±14.7) and one year (94.1±18.3 vs 92.4±15.9) after surgery, but the differences were not statistically significant. The mortality rate of the green surgery pathway was slightly lower than that of the control group within one year after surgery (6.19% vs 8.97%), but the dif?ference was not statistically significant. Conclusion The implementation of green surgery pathway can reduce the occurrence of complications in bed, promote the early hip rehabilitation, effectively shorten the hospitalization time. It is worth further promotion because of its social benefits and health economic benefits.

BACKGROUND:Restoring the stability of the spine has become the consensus of spinal surgery. The canaloplasty technology has been continuously improved, but how can we get the good clinical effect of the canaloplasty, and the price affordable, many domestic scholars have to try al kinds of the improved operation methods. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical application value of cannulated screws fixation in canaloplasty. METHODS:From February 2011 to February 2013, total y 24 patients with spinal disease treated by canaloplasty using cannulated screw were retrospectively analyzed, of which 12 cases of cervical stenosis, 2 cases of intraspinal tumor in thoracic and 10 cases of intraspinal tumor in lumbar. Al patients were fol owed up after treatment. Postoperative CT and MRI were done in al patients. Clinical symptoms and radiographic changes were observed after treatment. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and the spinal canal cross-sectional area measurement were conducted in the patients with cervical stenosis between the preoperation and postoperation. Visual analog scale score was evaluated in patients who have the tumor in the thoracolumbar spine between the preoperation and postoperation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients had no complications such as nerve or blood vessel damage. Al patients were fol owed up 12 to 24 months. Imaging evaluation showed that internal fixator was stable without the hol ow screw loss or displacement. The bone grafting in groove reached bone fusion. There was no occurrence of lamina col apse or“re-close of door”. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and spinal canal cross-sectional area of patients with cervical stenosis during the fol ow-up after 12 months of treatment were significantly superior to those in preoperation (P<0.01). After 12 months of treatment, Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores showed that the excel ent rate of classification assessment was 92%. During the fol ow-up after 12 months of treatment, the visual analog scale of patients with thoracolumbar tumor improved from (8.2±1.6) points before treatment to (2.3±1.3) points at the first year after discharge (P=0.004 2). These results suggest that the application of cannulated screws in the canaloplasty can not only enhance the stability of the rear pil ar, and can improve the healing rate of osteotomy, and has the characteristics of inexpensive, easy to operate, and repair effect is good.
