[Comparison of the efficacy of TiRobot orthopaedic robot assisted F screw technique and inverted triangle parallel nail internal fixation in the treatment of unstable femoral neck fractures].

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of TiRobot assisted F screw technique and inverted triangle parallel nail internal fixation in the treatment of unstable femoral neck fractures. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 72 patients with unstable femoral neck fractures who were treated with percutaneous cannulated screw fixation assisted with TiRobot Orthopaedic robot from December 2019 to April 2021. Among them, 37 patients were treated with F screw internal fixation, including 16 males and 21 females, aged 47 to 64 years old with an average of （53.87±5.28） years old；According to Pauwels classification, there were 1 case of type Ⅰ, 19 cases of type Ⅱ, 17 cases of type Ⅲ；8 cases of combined medical diseases；17 cases of falling, 8 cases of traffic accident and 12 cases of falling from height；The time from injury to operation was 29 to 49 hours with average of （35.00±7.34） hours. Another 35 cases used internal fixation with an inverted triangle parallel nail, including 13 males and 22 females with an average age of 46 to 63 years old （52.36±5.05） years old；According to the Pauwels injury classification：there were 2 cases of type Ⅰ, 21 cases of type Ⅱ, 12 cases of type Ⅲ；6 cases of medical diseases, 15 cases of falling injury, 9 cases of traffic accident, 11 cases of falling injury；The time from injury to operation was 30 to 45 hours with an average of （33.00±6.83） h. The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, follow-up time, fracture healing time, postoperative complications were observed and compared between the two groups. The hip joint function was evaluated by Harris score at 6 months and 12 months after operation. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy times and other intraoperative data between two groups（P>0.05）. Both groups were followed up regularly, and the follow-up time was 12 to 16 months. The fracture healing time and Harris score of the F screw internal fixation group were better than those of the inverted triangle parallel nail internal fixation group （P<0.05）. There was 1 case of femoral neck shortening in the F screw internal fixation group, 1 case of nonunion, 1 case of nail withdrawal, and 1 case of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in the inverted triangle internal fixation group. The incidence of complications in the F screw internal fixation group was lower than that in the inverted triangle parallel nail internal fixation group（P<0.05）. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous cannulated F screw technique using Tirobot navigation positioning system is a safe and effective treatment for patients with unstable femoral neck fractures. It can significantly shorten the fracture healing time, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, significantly improve hip joint function, and improve the quality of life.

Recovery process of optical stopping effect in tin or phosphorus-doped amorphous As2S8 thin-film waveguide.

In this research, the recovery process of the optical stopping effect on an amorphous arsenic sulfide thin-film waveguide is studied, both on the net As(2)S(8) and doping As(2)S(8) waveguide. Based on the experimental results, we analyzed the chemical bond structure of the samples. The hybrid orbital theory and electron energy bandgap theory are applied in order to establish the model of optical stopping and the recovery process. The numerical analysis results are well matched with the experiment data, which indicates that the model properly explains the optical stopping effect phenomenon. The model also can be applied to predict the recovery process of the optical stopping effect.
