RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical efficacy of antibiotic bone cement covered reconstruction steel plate in the treatment of infected anterior pelvic ring fracture. METHODS: From January 2017 to March 2022, 11 patients with infected anterior pelvic ring fracture were treated with antibiotic bone cement covered reconstruction steel plate including 7 males and 4 females and the age ranged from 27 to 49 years old. The pelvic fractures were classified according to the Tile typology: 4 cases of C1 type, 4 cases of C2 type, and 3 cases of C3 type. Among them, 2 cases of infected anterior ring were infected after internal fixation of anterior ring, and 9 patients were infected with infected anterior ring due to incomplete early debridement, which was classified as infected according to the injury severity score(ISS) for 24 to 38 scores. The anterior ring was internally fixed by extended debridement, irrigation, and antibiotic bone cement covered reconstruction plate, and the posterior ring fractures were all closed reduction and internally fixed with sacroiliac screws. RESULTS: All 11 cases obtained follow-up from 13 to 20 months. Among them, 2 patients had recurrence of postoperative infection, 1 case was re-dissected and replaced with antibiotic bone cement-coated internal fixation, and 1 case had a milder infection without accumulation of the medullary cavity, and the infection was controlled by retaining the plate and replacing the antibiotic bone cement only after dissecting. Two cases developed incisional oozing, which healed after removal of the internal fixation three months postoperatively. All patients did not show pelvic fracture redisplacement or reinfection during the follow-up period. All 11 cases eventually healed bony. At the final follow-up, according to the Matta score, the fracture reduction was excellent in 6 cases, good in 4, and possible in 1. According to the Majeed functional score, it was excellent in 6, good in 3, and possible in 2. CONCLUSION: Antibiotic bone cement covered reconstruction plate is effective in the treatment of infected anterior pelvic ring fracture, with high intraoperative safety and low recurrence rate of infection, which is conducive to the early postoperative rehabilitation and significantly shortens the course of the disease.

The effects of Tip-Edge plus appliance in the treatment of Angle II(1) malocclusion and the mechanism were investigated. Fifty-two Angle II(1) children, aged from 12.3-14.2 years, with mandibular retrusion in permanent dentition were selected and treated with Tip-Edge plus appliance. Lateral cephalometric films taken before and after treatment were analyzed. The arithmetic mean and standard deviation were calculated for each variable. Paired t-test was performed to evaluate the significant treatment change. Results showed that the average treatment time was 16 months. Normal overjet and overbite were established with retroclination of upper incisors and proclination of lower incisors. U1-NA was decreased by 15.4° (P<0.01). ANB and Y axial angle were decreased significantly (P<0.05). Soft tissue measurements showed that FCA and UL-E were decreased dramatically (P<0.05), and LL-E was increased significantly (P<0.05). Remarkable soft tissue change was noted after the treatment and convex facial profile changed to the straight profile. In conclusion, Tip-Edge plus technique can quickly and efficiently correct anterior bite and lateral outlook.
