Objective:To investigate the effect of passive motion and immobilization on shoulder function early after arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 78 patients with rotator cuff tear admitted to Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2016 to December 2017. There were 36 males and 42 females, aged 35-78 years [(62.7±3.2)years]. There were 36 patients with medium-sized tears (1-3 cm), 31 with small tears (<1 cm), and 11 with partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion (PASTA). All patients underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Forty-three patients started rehabilitation exercise immediately after operation (motion group). Thirty-five patients were immobilized with shoulder abduction brace for 6 weeks, and started rehabilitation exercise at week 7 (immobilization group). The range of motion, visual analogue pain score (VAS), simplified shoulder joint function test (SST) and Constant shoulder joint score were compared between the two groups before surgery, 6 weeks, 3 months and 12 months after surgery. The healing results were assessed by ultrasound 12 months after surgery. Complications were observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-16 months [(13.7±1.3)months]. There were 7 patients with shoulder joint stiffness in each group (motion group: 16%, immobilization group: 20%) ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in VAS, SST or Constant score at postoperative 6 weeks, 3 months and 12 months ( P>0.05). The forward flexion and external rotation with the arm at the side in immobilization group was (124.9±12.9)° and 25(20, 30)° at postoperative 6 weeks, significantly improved in motion group [(136.6±16.7)°, 30(25, 40)°] ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in forward flexion and external rotation with the arm at the side at postoperative 3 and 12 months ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in internal rotation at postoperative 6 weeks, 3 months, and 12 months ( P>0.05). All rotator cuffs were healed verified by ultrasound at postoperative 12 months. No infection or implant displacement occurred after operation. Conclusions:For arthroscopic repair of medium-sized tears, small tears and PASTA, early postoperative rehabilitation exercises have advantage in improving range of motion only at early stage when compared to immobilization, which disappears with time. Moreover, the two methods have no significant differences in improving postoperative pain and shoulder function.

Objective:To identify potential risk factors of varus collapse after unstable proximal humerus fracture treated with locking plates.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on data of 146 patients with unstable proximal humerus fracture stabilized by locking plates at Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2008 through December 2014. These patients were classified into varus collapse group ( n=39) and non-varus collapse group ( n=107) according to the occurrence of varus collapse. The gender, age, bone mineral density, cause of injury, fracture Neer classification, fracture type (varus or valgus), surgical timing, surgical techniques (medial support, cancellous bone graft, suture augmentation), number of humeral head screws and reduction quality were recorded. Potential risk factors were evaluated using univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression. The subjective reliability analysis was performed for Neer classification and medial fracture assessments. Results:Varus collapse group had higher ratio of osteoporosis, varus fracture, lack of medial column support, absence of suture augmentation and varus malreductin compared to non-varus collapse group ( P<0.05). While the two groups had no significant differences in gender, age, fracture classification, allogeneic cancellous bone transplantation and number of humeral head screws ( P>0.05). Moreover, the Logistic regression analysis indicated that osteoporosis, varus fracture, lack of medial column support, absence of suture augmentation and varus malreduction were major independent risk factors for varus collapse in proximal humerus fractures ( P<0.05). Among these risk variables, the lack of medial column support showed the strongest correlation of varus collapse after proximal humerus fractures treated with locking plates ( OR=9.62), and varus malreduction was another remarkable risk factor ( OR=8.39). The reliability of Neer classification and medial fracture assessments between interobservers and intraobservers was good. Conclusion:The risk factors for varus collapse after unstable proximal humerus fracture treated with locking plate are osteoporosis, varus fracture, lack of medial column support, absence of suture augmentation and varus malreduction.

Objective:To compare the application effect of remote intelligent rehabilitation system and conventional rehabilitation in rehabilitation of patients with rotator cuff injury following minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 47 patients with rotator cuff injury admitted to Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January to July 2022, including 18 males and 29 females; aged 45-65 years [(56.7±6.3)years]. All patients underwent minimally invasive arthroscopic surgical repair of rotator cuff rupture. After surgery, 25 patients underwent self-rehabilitation with conventional education (conventional rehabilitation group), and 22 patients underwent systematic rehabilitation with remote intelligent rehabilitation system (remote rehabilitation group). Constant shoulder score, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, self-rating depression scale (SDS) score and visual analog score (VAS) were compared between the two groups on the day of admission, 4, 8, 12 weeks after surgery and at the last follow-up. Shoulder MRI was applied at 6 weeks after surgery to compare the degree of intra-articular effusion and bone marrow edema between the two groups. The shoulder range of motion of the two groups was compared at 12 weeks after operation. The satisfaction with the rehabilitation of the two groups was compared at the last follow-up.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-10 months [(8.5±2.2)months]. There was no significant difference in Constant shoulder score, UCLA shoulder score, SAS score, SDS score and VAS between the two groups on the day of admission (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in Constant score, UCLA score and SAS score between the two groups at 4 weeks after surgery (all P>0.05). The values of SDS score and VAS at 4 weeks after surgery were (31.8±6.6)points and (3.6±1.1)points in the remote rehabilitation group, which were better than those in the conventional rehabilitation group [(40.5±5.6)points and (4.7±1.3)points] (all P<0.05). The values of Constant score, UCLA score, SAS score, SDS score and VAS at 8 weeks after surgery were (62.5±5.5)points, (18.5±3.3)points, (20.5±4.7)points, (22.5±4.6)points and (2.5±0.6)points in the remote rehabilitation group, which were better than those in the conventional rehabilitation group [(41.3±4.7)points, (15.3±3.1)points, (28.5±4.8)points, (38.5±3.7)points and (3.3±1.3)points] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The values of Constant score, UCLA score, SAS score and SDS score at 12 weeks after surgery were (85.4±6.4)points, (32.2±3.8)points, (13.6±2.8)points and (18.4±3.9)points in the remote rehabilitation group, which were better than those in the conventional rehabilitation group [(60.3±6.7)points, (25.2±4.1)points, (21.5±4.9)points and (26.7±6.6)points] (all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in VAS between the two groups ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, there were no significant differences in Constant score, UCLA score, SAS score, SDS score and VAS between the two groups (all P>0.05). MRI of the shoulder joint at 6 weeks after surgery indicated that the degree of intra-articular effusion in the shoulder joint and bone marrow edema of the proximal humerus in the remote rehabilitation group was significantly reduced than that in the conventional rehabilitation group. At 12 weeks after surgery, the remote rehabilitation group had better shoulder range of motion than the conventional rehabilitation group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At the last follow-up, the satisfaction with the rehabilitation of the remote rehabilitation group was better than that of the conventional rehabilitation group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:For patients with rotator cuff injury who undergo minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, postoperative application of remote intelligent rehabilitation system, in comparison with the conventional rehabilitation system, can help to facilitate shoulder function recovery, anxiety and depression improvement and pain relief in the early stage, reduce shoulder soft tissue and bone marrow edema of the shoulder, and increase shoulder range of motion and patients′ satisfaction with the rehabilitation.

To investigate the safety and feasibility of gasless total endoscopic resection of deep lobe parotid gland tumors via a postauricular hairline plus temporal approach. The approach was designed as: a 4 to 5 cm main incision was designed at the postauricular hairline, and a 0.5 cm auxiliary incision was designed in the temporal hairline. The operating cavity was established with the assistance of a special retractor. "Anterograde" dissection of the facial nerve was performed throughout the procedure, along with partial or total gland removal of the tumor. All 16 operations were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. During the operation, the trunk and branches of the facial nerve were completely preserved, the tumor was completely removed, and the incision healed. Six patients had mild facial paralysis after operation, and recovered completely after 3 to 6 months. There was no salivary fistula, Frey syndrome, infection, or other complications. The postoperative incision was concealed and the aesthetic effect was good. The postauricular hairline plus temporal approach gasless total endoscopic parotidectomy is safe and feasible. This technique can achieve the complete dissection of the total trunk to the branches of the facial nerve, and has good access to the tumors located in any part of the parotid gland region. On the basis of radical resection of the tumor, it achieves minimally invasive and aesthetic improvement.
