Periprosthetic fracture of femur is the most common postoperative complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Risk factors for periprosthetic fractures include female sex, osteoporosis/osteopenia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, neuromuscular disease, cognitive disorder, chronic use of corticosteroids, obesity, advanced age, infection, osteolysis around the prosthesis, knee joint ankyloses, notching of the anterior femoral cortex, etc. According to epidemiological research, the incidence of femoral periprosthetic fractures following TKA ranges from 0.3% to 2.5%. Lewis and Rorabeck classifications, the most commonly used classification of periprosthetic fractures of the femur, introduce the concept of prosthesis loosening and emphasize the ecessity of revision surgery. Other classifications include Su typing, Universal Typing System, and Rhee typing, the latest of which is the Kim typing proposed in 2022. Treatment strategies for periprosthetic femoral fractures after TKA include nonsurgical treatment, external fixation techniques, single-plate fixation, double-plate fixation, intramedullary nail fixation, and revision TKA and distal femur replacement. The purpose of this paper is to better guide the prevention and treatment of periprosthetic fractures after TKA by searching and analyzing relevant literature on periprosthetic fractures after TKA.

7.Research progress in the treatment of traumatic spinopelvic dissociation
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2022;42(18):1242-1248
Traumatic spinopelvic dissociation is trauma-induced complete separation of the pelvis and spine anatomy. It is characterized by longitudinal fracture lines on both sides of the sacral bone with transverse fractures, multiplane unstable fractures, more common in high-energy violent injury, more combined injuries, high incidence of sacral nerve injury, improper treatment can easily lead to fracture re-displacement, painful deformity healing, secondary nerve injury, dysfunction and other adverse consequences. The difficulty in the surgical treatment of traumatic spinopelvic dissociation lies in the reduction and fixation of fractures. Among them, it is still controversial whether the reduction method of fracture should be open reduction or closed minimally invasive reduction, the internal fixation should be simple sacroiliac screw or plate, iliolumbar fixation or triangular fixation, and whether the sacral nerve injury needs direct decompression. With the improvement of the understanding of spinopelvic dissociation injuries and clinical application of closed minimally invasive reduction technology, minimally invasive sacroiliac screws, iliolumbar fixation, and triangular fixation are increasingly used in clinical treatment, postoperative wound complications are significantly reduced, patient function prognosis is good, indirect decompression of the injured sacral nerve after fracture reduction helps to restore nerve function, but when the fracture displacement is large with a narrow sacral canal and the nerve is compressed by the fracture or free bone mass, direct decompression by laminectomy is recommended.
8.Anatomical study and clinical application of osseous fixation pathway in pelvic and acetabular fracture management
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2024;44(5):336-344
Closed reduction percutaneous screw fixation offers significant biological and biomechanical advantages and can be employed independently for the surgical treatment of pelvic acetabular fractures, as well as serving as a complementary method to open reduction internal fixation. The osseous fixation pathway (OFP) constitutes the anatomical foundation for the minimally invasive approach to pelvic and acetabular fracture management. The pelvis's OFP can be categorized into anterior, middle, and posterior parts. The anterior OFP encompasses both the superior pubic/anterior column and inferior pubic OFPs. The former is primarily utilized for addressing transverse and T-shaped acetabular fractures, as well as anterior column and superior pubic fractures. The latter is predominantly applied to inferior pubic fractures. The middle OFP includes the anterior inferior iliac spine to the posterior iliac crest (LC-II) OFP, the gluteus medius column OFP, and the iliac crest OFP. The LC-II OFP is primarily designated for pelvic crescent, iliac wing, and select high anterior column acetabular fractures. The gluteus medius column OFP is used for the treatment of some iliac fractures or acetabular fractures. And the iliac crest OFP is used for the treatment of simple iliac wing fractures or acetabular fractures involving the iliac crest. The posterior OFP includes the posterior column of the acetabulum OFP, sacroiliac OFP, and sacral OFP. The posterior column of the acetabulum OFP is used for the treatment of acetabular fractures involving the posterior column; the sacroiliac OFP is mainly utilized for a range of pelvic injuries, including pelvic rotational or vertical unstable pelvic injury, sacroiliac dislocation or fracture dislocation; open injury of the posterior ring of the pelvis with relatively mild contamination; elderly sacral (incomplete) fractures; residual gap at the end of sacral fracture after pubic symphysis and plate internal fixation; certain traumatic spinopelvic dissociation ; in combination with lumbopelvic fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures with lumbosacral junction injury. Sacral OFP is advised for treating bilateral sacroiliac dislocation and certain crescent-like pelvic fractures; bilateral sacral fractures; sacral fractures involving Denis III zone, osteoporotic sacral incomplete fractures. The pursuit of minimally invasive treatment modalities for pelvic and acetabular fractures comes with challenges. A comprehensive understanding of OFP morphology and intraoperative imaging, coupled with a commitment to enhancing fracture reduction quality and surgical proficiency, is imperative for the precise management of such injuries.

Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2023;43(19):1334-1342
The development of modern science and technology continues to promote the advancement of surgical methods, the era of surgical surgery led by robots has arrived. Orthopaedic positioning robot is a kind of auxiliary treatment equipment to realize surgical planning by means of spatial mapping of target images. It is composed of movable robotic arm, optical tracking device and surgical planning navigation system. During the operation, the path navigation of surgical instruments can be planned and implemented according to the predetermined procedure, and the precise placement of orthopedic internal fixation can be completed with the participation of the surgeon. It is mainly used in trauma orthopaedics, joint replacement and spine surgery fields. It has clinical advantages such as accurate operation, stable performance and good repeatability. Robot assisted minimally invasive pelvic acetabular fracture surgery is mainly realized by assisted placement of the LC-II screw, sacral iliac screw, iliac lumbar triangular fixation, iliac lumbar fixation, acetabular anterior column screw, acetabular posterior column screw, Magic screw and other osseous fixation pathway screws. It has the advantages of relatively simple operation, small systematic error, accurate spatial positioning and safe screw insertion. The clinical introduction of robot-assisted surgery provides effective solutions and advanced technical supports for optimizing the surgical treatment of pelvic acetabular fractures and promoting the enhanced recovery after surgery. The continuous improvement of the application level of robots has created favorable conditions and technical support for promoting the development of intelligent, individualized, minimally invasive and precise treatment of pelvic and acetabular fractures.
