RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic limited incision of the articular capsule to repair the glenoid labrum in the treatment of borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip (BDDH) complicated with labral tear.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 18 patients with BDDH complicated with labral tear who had been admitted to Department of Orthopaedics, The Second Hospital Affiliated to Suzhou University from January 2016 to December 2019 (observation group). There were 12 males and 6 females with an age of (41.8 ± 8.5) years. Simultaneously, another 18 patients were selected as the control group whose hip development was normal but age and gender were matched with those in the observation group. There were 9 males and 9 females with an age of (43.5 ± 10.3) years. Both groups were treated by arthroscopic limited incision of the articular capsule to repair the glenoid labrum. The 2 groups were compared in terms of modified Harris hip score (MHHS), Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living Subscale (HOS-ADL), and visual analogue scale (VAS).Results:There was no significant difference in the demographic data like age, gender ratio, body mass index, severity of labral tear or time from injury to operation between the 2 groups, indicating comparability between groups ( P>0.05). The observation and control groups were followed up for (38 ± 7) and (43 ± 6) months, respectively. For the observation and control groups, respectively, MHHS was (97.1 ± 3.3) points and (95.4 ± 4.2) points, HOS-ADL (92.6 ± 2.8) points and (91.4 ± 4.1) points, and VAS (0.6 ± 0.5) points and (1.0 ± 0.8) points, all showing no significant difference between groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of BDDH patients complicated with labral tear, simple arthroscopic limited incision of the articular capsule to repair the glenoid labrum can lead to the same good medium-term efficacy as it can in those with normal hip development.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the clinical effects of surgery within and over 48 hours for hip fractures in elderly pa?tients. Methods From May 2017 to April 2018, 47 patients over 75 years old with hip fracture were operated in our hospital and met with inclusion criteria. The patients were divided into two groups: within 48?hour group and over 48?hour group according to study design. In the within 48?hour group, there were 22 patients including 5 males and 17 females, aged from 76 to 97 years, with an average age of 83.6±5.0 years, and there were 10 femoral neck fractures (3 total hip arthroplasty, 7 hemiarthroplasty) and 12 femoral intertrochanteric fractures (proximal femoral intramedullary nail fixation). There were 25 patients (7 males and 18 females) in the over 48?hour group, aged from 76 to 98 years, with an average age of 83.8±5.8 years, and there were 10 femoral neck frac?tures (2 total hip arthroplasty, 8 hemiarthroplasty) and 15 femoral intertrochanteric fractures (proximal femoral intramedullary nail fixation). At the end of the follow?up period, the clinical data of the two groups were compared. The differences in the length of stay, cost of stay (excluding implants), postoperative complications within 1 month, hip function score (Harris score) within 1 month and 3 months, and mortality within 3 months and at the end of follow?up were analyzed. Results Both groups were fol?lowed up for 12 to 24 months, with an average of 17.7 months. The hospitalization time (7.9±3.0 d), hospitalization expenses (16 627.5± 6 428.8 yuan), the incidence of early complications after operation (59.1% ) and Harris score (80.9 ± 8.6) in the within 48?hour group were significantly better than those in the over 48?hour group (12.3±4.1 d, 23 799.0±9 785.3 yuan, 88.0%, 71.1±9.2, respec?tively). At 3 months after operation, there was no significant difference in Harris score between the two groups (83.9±7.3 in within 48?hour group and 82.3±8.9 in over 48?hour group; t=0.668, P=0.507). Within 3 months, there was no death inwithin 48?hour group, but 2 in over 48?hour group; and 1 in within 48?hour group at the last follow?up. Conclusion Elderly patients with hip fracture benefit significantly from surgery within 48 hours after admission.

Objective To investigate the initial effect of LARS artificial ligaments arthroscopically in reconstruction of ipsilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).Methods A total of 21 patients (13 males and 8 females,at average age of 31.5 years) received ACL and PCL restoration using LARS artificial ligaments since June 2006.Preoperative MRI exactly confirmed them as ACL and PCL ruptures.Lysholm score on knee joint was (47.6 ±6.7) points.Surgery had reconstruction of PCL prior to ACL under arthroscope.Results All patients were followed up for average 42 months (range,36-49 months),which showed no infection,ligament rupture,ligament loosening,or other postoperative complications.At postoperative 3 years,Lysholm score was (90.8 ± 3.7) points and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score was normal in 14 patients,near normal in six,and abnormal in one,with excellent-good rate of 95%.Conclusions LARS artificial ligaments can attain anatomical reconstruction and stability of the knee joint in treatment of ACL and PCL ruptures.Meanwhile,arthroscopic surgery shows superiorities of micro-wound,rapid recovery and satisfactory curative effect.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the key points of treating elder patients with hip fractures by hemiarthroplasty.Methods Clinical data of 138 elder patients with hip fractures undergone hemiarthroplasty between January 2008 and December 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 43 males and 95 females at mean age of 82.8 years(range,75-103 years).Injury causes included fall from height(n=98),contusion(n=32)and sprain(n=8).There were 84 patients with femoral neck fractures(33 patients with Garden type Ⅲ,51 with type Ⅳ)and 54 patients with intertrochanteric fractures(three patients of Jensen-Evans type Ⅱ,six with type Ⅲ,25 with type Ⅳ,18 with type V,two with type R).Follow-up evaluation was performed using Harris scoring system.Results The ambulation period was average 4.5 days(range,3-12 days).Follow-up was average 24.4 months(range,10-45 months),which presented no loosening,subsidence or infection of prostheses.Due to additional trauma postoperatively,one patient suffered from prosthesis dislocation and two from fractures of distal prosthetic femoral shaft.Harris score at six months postoperatively was average 86.8 points(range,52-100 points),with excellent results in 42 patients,good in 59,fair in 19 and poor in five,with excellence rate of 80.8%.Conclusion With full accomplishment of peri-,intra-and post-operative measures,hemiarthroplasty is a suitable choice for treating hip fractures in the elderly patients.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical outcome of locking plate and hemiarthroplasty in treatment of Neer three- and four-part proximal humeral fractures.Methods A totalof 63 consecutive patients aged over 55 years with Neer three- and four-part proximal humeral fractures were treated surgically from June 2006 to June 2010.In the retrospective study,36 patients were treated by open reduction and locking plate fixation ( locking plate fixation group) and 27 patients treated by hemiarthroplasty (hemiarthroplasty group).Clinical outcomes including operation time,blood loss,visual analog scale ( VAS),Constant-Murley score and complications were evaluated.ResultsThe average 19.7 months follow-up showed complication rate of 28% in the locking plate group,including one patient with varss malunion,one with axillary nerve injury,one with humeral head necrosis,one with heterotopie calcification and four with impingement syndrome.The complication rate was 24% in the hemiarthroplasty group,including two patients with tuberosity nonunion,one with tuberosity migration,one with impingement syndrome and one with joint semiluxation.The mean Constant-Murley score of three-part fractures in the locking plate group was ( 76.5 ±5.8) points,better than (69.2 ±7.2) points in the hemiarthroplasty group (P <0.05 ).While the two groups showed no significant differences with regards to operation time,blood loss and visual analog scale (VAS).As for the four-part fractures,the mean operation time was shorter and the mean blood loss was less in the hemiarthroplasty group compared with the locking plate group (P <0.05),while there were no obvious differences in VAS score and Constant-Murley score between the two groups. Conclusions Both locking plate and hemiarthroplasty are the reliable methods for the three- and four-part proximal humeral fractures.The patients' age,bone quality,fracture type,comminution degree and evaluation of osteonecrosis possibility,are critical for surgery decision.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of extramedullary fixation system,intramedullary fixation system and hip arthroplasty in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.MethodsThe retrospective study involved 184 patients treated between January 2007 and January 2011,which were assigned to dynamic hip screw (DHS) group (n =99),locking plate group (n =19 ),intramedullary fixation group (n =25) and joint replacement group (n =41 ).There were 80 males and 104 females,at age range of 60-99 years,mean (72.4 ± 3.9) years.According to the modified Evan classification,the fractures included type Ⅰ A in 20 patients,type Ⅰ B in 21,type Ⅱ in 75 and type Ⅲ in 68.The preoperative conditions,postoperative weight-bearing time,fracture heating time,hip function and complications were comparatively studied among four groups.ResultsThe patients were followed up for 7-22 months (mean 12 months).The four groups showed no significant differences regarding the gender,age,fracture types and medical complications.The postoperative weight-bearing time of the joint replacement group was significantly shorter than that of the other three groups,with statistical significance.The fracture healing time was insignificantly different among the four groups.The postoperative complications were found in 24 patients (13%),including 11 patients in the DHS group,six in the locking plate group,five in the intramedullary fixation group and two in the joint replacement group.Harris score was the highest in the joint replacement group,with statistical significance in comparison with the other three groups. ConclusionsIntramedullary fixation should be the treatment of choice for the patients with unstable,or severe osteoporosis fractures and with intolerance of joint replacement.Artificial bipolar femoral head replacement is suitable for the elderly patients with unstable or severe osteoporosis fractures,capability of walk or tolerance of operation.
RESUMEN
Objective To discuss the operation skills and clinical effects of C-arm fluoroscopy in arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)with the Ligament Advancement Reinforcement System(LARS)artificial ligaments.Methods The study involved 36 patients with acute ACL rupture treated with the LARS artificial ligaments from June 2006.There were 25 males and 11 females,at age range of 22-51 years(average 28.3 years),involving 19 left knees and 17 right knees.The results of preoperative MRI of all patients suggested discontinuation of ACL,with average score of Lysholm on knee joint for 50.The operation was completed under arthroscope.While the locations of the femoral tunnel portal and the tibial tunnel exit were mainly determined by the C-arm fluoroscopy.The diameter of the LARS artificial ligament was 7.5 mm while that of the interference screw 8 mm.Results All 36 patients were followed up for a mean duration of 18 months(9-20 months).The average Lysholm Score was 52 preoperatively and 92 at the 12th week after operation.The clinical results were graded as excellent in 23 patients,good in nine and fair in four according to the Lysholm's classification,with excellence rate of 89%.Conclusions Arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament with LARS artifical ligament under C-arm fluoroscopy takes advantages of convenient operation,accurate location and satisfactory clinical effect.
