RESUMEN
Periarticular fracture of the shoulder is a common type of fractures in the elderly. Postoperative adverse events such as internal fixation failure, humeral head ischemic necrosis and upper limb dysfunction occur frequently, which seriously endangers the exercise and health of the elderly. Compared with the fracture with normal bone mass, the osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder is complicated with slow healing and poor rehabilitation, so the clinical management becomes more difficult. At present, there is no targeted guideline or consensus for this type of fracture in China. In such context, experts from Youth Osteoporosis Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatrics Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Osteoporosis Group of Youth Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Chinese Integrative Medicine developed the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder in the elderly ( version 2023). Nine recommendations were put forward from the aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies and rehabilitation of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder, hoping to promote the standardized, systematic and personalized diagnosis and treatment concept and improve functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder.
RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive treatment of Fraser type Ⅱ floating knee by homeopathic reduction.Methods:From November 2016 to July 2018, 7 patients with Fraser type Ⅱ floating knee were treated by homeopathic reduction and minimally invasive surgery at Trauma Emergency Center, The Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University. They were 5 males and 2 females, aged from 30 to 82 years (average, 52 years). They all suffered from tibial plateau fracture complicated with floating knee, with 5 cases of Fraser type ⅡA (tibial plateau fracture complicated with femoral shaft fracture) and 2 cases of Fraser type ⅡC (tibial plateau fracture complicated with femoral condyle fracture). The femoral and tibial plateau fractures were reduced with a bidirectional traction reduction device, followed by minimally invasive implantation of internal fixators. The operation time, length of a single incision, blood loss and fluoroscopic frequency were recorded. The anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films of the lower limb were taken and fracture healing time was recorded during follow-up. The function of knee joint was evaluated by Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scoring system at the last follow-up.Results:For the 7 patients, operation time averaged 87.2 min, length of a single incision 2.8 cm, blood loss 471 mL, and fluoroscopy frequency 37 times. The postoperative X-ray films showed fine alignment and force line and smooth articular surface in all patients. All the incisions healed by grade A. The follow-up time for 7 patients ranged from 12 to 21 months (average, 15.6 months). All the fractures healed after an average time of 12.8 weeks. The HSS scores at the last follow-up showed that 6 cases were excellent and one was good.Conclusion:The fractures of the femur side and of the tibia side can be treated separately by closed reduction and internal fixation using a homeopathic bidirectional traction reduction device so as to obtain better knee joint function.
