Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of the modified Bikini approach in the fixation of acetabular fracture with an integrated wing-shaped anatomical locking plate.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 54 patients with acetabular fracture who had been treated at Department of Trauma Orthopedics, Orthopedic Medical Center, The Third Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from May 2017 to June 2021. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on different surgical approaches: an observation group [26 cases, 6 males, 20 females; aged 40.0 (29.8, 46.8) years] treated with fixation with an integrated wing-shaped anatomical locking plate through the modified Bikini approach, and a control group [28 cases, 10 males, 18 females; aged 34.5 (24.0, 43.5) years] treated with fixation with an integrated wing-shaped anatomical locking plate through the lateral-rectus approach. The incision length, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, length of hospital stay, quality of postoperative fracture reduction, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, hip function, Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) were compared between the 2 groups.Results:The differences in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups were not statistically significant, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups either in terms of incision length, operation time, intraoperative bleeding, or hospital stay ( P>0.05). The 2 groups were not significantly different in the excellent/good rate of fracture reduction [100.0% (26/26) versus 92.9% (26/28)], VAS at 1 month postoperation [2.0(1.0, 3.0) versus 2.0(1.0, 3.0)], or the modified Merle d'Aubigné and Postel hip score at 12 months postoperation [13.5(12.3, 14.8) versus. 14.0(13.0, 15.0)] ( P>0.05). However, the VSS [4.50(4.00, 6.00)] and POSAS (29.85±10.05) at 12 months postoperation in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [6.50(5.00, 8.25) and 37.11±11.75] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the fixation of acetabular fracture with an integrated wing-shaped anatomical locking plate, the modified Bikini approach can not only achieve as fine early clinical efficacy as the lateral-rectus approach, but also demonstrate the aesthetic advantages of smaller incision scar and more hidden incision.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of intelligent visualization system (HoloSight Intelligent Visualization System) assisted reduction and screw fixation in the treatment of elderly pelvic fragility fracture.Methods:From January 2016 to December 2022, clinical data of 18 elderly patients aged over 75 years with pelvic fragility fractures surgically treated by our team were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 11 cases were treated with closed reduction and hand-inserted percutaneous screw fixation to fix the posterior pelvic ring (control group), and 7 cases were treated with the assistance of the HoloSight intelligent visualization system for reduction and minimally invasive fixation (experimental group). In the control group, there were 3 males and 8 females with an age range of 75-94 years (mean age, 82±12 years). The pelvic fractures were classified as FFP type IIIa in 5 cases, IIIb in 2 cases, IIIc in 3 cases, and IV in 1 case. In the experimental group, there were 1 male and 6 females with an age range of 76-100 years (mean age. 83±14 years). The pelvic fractures were classified as FFP type IIIa in 4 cases, IIIc in 2 cases, and IV in 1 case. The surgical time, blood loss, effective intraoperative fluoroscopy times, fracture reduction quality (according to Matta standards), visual analogue scale (VAS), limb function rehabilitation (Majeed score) and postoperative complications were recorded and evaluated in both groups.Results:All patients underwent surgery successfully and were followed up for 6 months to 3 years(12 months on average), all pelvic fractures healed. Among the 7 cases of experimental group, a total of 13 screws were placed, and the adjustment times of guide pin for each screw were 3±1 times (range, 1-5 times), while 18 screws of the control group with the adjustment times of 7±2 times (range, 4-10 times), statistical difference was present ( t=6.99, P<0.001). The surgical time in experimental group (63±12 min) was shorter than that in control group 88±23 min, while effective intraoperative fluoroscopy times in experimental group (9±3 times) was less than that in control group (35±7 times), the difference were both statistically significant ( t=2.69, P=0.016; t=9.22, P<0.001). The intraoperative blood loss was 38±12 ml in the experimental group and 55±26 ml in control group, with no significant difference ( t=1.61, P=0.127). According to Matta's reduction criteria after surgery, the results of experimental group were excellent in 4 cases, good in 2, and fair in 1, while the result of control group were excellent in 5 cases, good in 3, fair in 2, and poor in 1. At the last follow-up, among the patients in experimental group, the Majeed score was 84±11, excellent in 3 cases, good in 2, and fair in 2. In control group, the score was 79±17, with excellent in 5 cases, good in 3, fair in 3. No statistical difference was observed in two groups ( t=0.69, P=0.501). The VAS was 6.4±2.6 preoperatively and 2.4±0.8 postoperatively in the experimental group, while in the control group was 6.9±3.1 preoperatively and 2.7±1.3 postoperatively, the data suggested an improvement in both groups ( t=3.89, P=0.002; t=4.14, P<0.001), while no statistical significant was observed in two groups at last follow-up ( t=0.55, P=0.593). Two cases of experimental group had loosening or withdrawal of the fixation screws in 9 and 12 months, but the fractures healed. Four cases of control group loose fixation screws in 4, 6, 9, and 12 months, two cases underwent revision surgery and other two cases healed. Conclusion:Intelligent visualization system assisted reduction and screw fixation in the treatment of elderly pelvic fragility fractures have the advantages of good reduction, accurate nail placement, less bleeding, less effective fluoroscopy, which improves the safety of surgery.

Objective:To explore the surgical technique and the clinical efficacy of the lateral-rectus approach with traction reduction by the modified Starr pelvic reduction frame for Tile C pelvic nonunions and malunions.Methods:Data of 7 patients with Tile C pelvic nonunions and malunions from June 2017 to June 2018 who were treated via the lateral-rectus approach combined with traction reduction by the modified Starr pelvic reduction frame were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 males and 2 females, aged from 22 to 53 (mean, 40 years). The injury mechanism included 3 cases of car accident injury, 3 of falling injury and 1 of crushing injury. The reasons for retreatment were pain in 7 cases, inability to walk and sit in 3, unequal length of lower limbs and lameness in 3. According to Tile classification, there were 4 cases of C1 type, 2 of C2 type and 1 of C3 type. A complete pelvic model with equal size as the patient’s pelvis was 3D-printed out according to three-dimensional reconstruction CT. The osteotomy or release site was designed, and the preoperative plan was detailed. Expose and release via the lateral rectus approach combined with traction reduction was conducted using the modified Starr pelvic reduction frame. Operative time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications were collected. Visual analogue scale (VAS) at 6 months after surgery were recorded. Majeed score was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated by the Mears-Velyvis radiological evaluation criterion at the latest follow-up.Results:The operation time was 140-280 min, with an average of 190 min. The intraoperative blood loss was 700-2,800 ml, with an average of 1,250 ml. In 6 cases, the final fixation was performed at one time, while 1 case of Tile C3 type was performed in two stages. All patients were followed up for 10-22 months, and all the fractures healed. The mean time of bony union was 8 weeks (range, 6-12 weeks). The VAS of the 7 patients was improved from an average of 6.4 points to an average of 0.7 points during 6 months postoperative follow-up. The Majeed clinical efficacy score of the latest follow-up was improved from the average 60 points preoperative to 85 points postoperative. According to the Mears-Velyvis radiological evaluation criterion, the satisfaction rate reached 85.7%(6/7). After operation, 1 case occurred obturator nerve injury who recovered within 3 months, and 1 case remained limb shortening deformity of 1 cm. There was no fixation failure.Conclusion:The anterior osteotomy via the lateral-rectus approach can fully cut off nonunions and malunions of the pelvis, effectively release the soft tissues around the osteotomy site, with minimal surgical trauma and low risks of neurovascular injuries. Combined the modified Starr pelvic reduction frame, it can effectively correct pelvic deformities, lower limb rotation and unequal length deformities to achieve the expected effect of surgery.

A 50?year?old woman presented with intermittent dull pain in the forehead and mild dizziness occasionally after her forehead was subjected to a mild bump accidentally 20 days prior to the presentation, and was diagnosed with angioneurotic headache in a local hospital. After the treatment with oral sibelium tablets, the condition wasn′t relieved obviously. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed multiple localized bone destruction and low?density area in the frontal and bilateral parietal bones with adjacent soft tissue swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)revealed equal T1 signals and slightly long T2 signals for multiple nodules in the frontal and bilateral parietal bones, high signals on diffusion?weighted imaging (DWI), obvious enhancement on contrast?enhanced MRI, and linear enhancement in adjacent meninges. Whole?body bone scintigraphy showed multiple increased radionuclide uptake in the skull. Laboratory examination demonstrated that specific antibodies to Treponema pallidum (Tp) were positive, and the serum rapid plasma reagin(RPR)titer was 1∶128. Cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)examination showed normal CSF pressure, nucleated cell counts(8 × 106/L)and glucose level(4.0 mmol/L), slightly high chloride flux(129.1 mmol/L), high protein level(0.9 g/L), high CSF?RPR titer of 1∶16 and presence of specific antibodies to Tp. Histopathological examination revealed hyperemia of adjacent tissues in the cranial osteolytic area, hyperplasia of interstitial fibrous tissue, endothelial cell swelling, and infiltration of inflammatory cells mainly containing plasma cells. The treatment regimen for neurosyphilis was given, and headache was relieved after 1 week of treatment, basically disappeared after 2 weeks, and completely disappeared after 4 weeks, and no similar headache occurred thereafter. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with acquired syphilitic skull osteomyelitis complicated by syphilitic meningitis.
