Objective To assess the clinical value of limited internal fixation combined with hinged super-articular external fixator for the treatment of elbow fracture. Methods 10 patents with elbow fracture were treated with hinged external fixator from March 2001 to November 2002. It involved 8 males and 2 females, aged from 22 to 46 years. There were 4 humeral intercondylar fractures of Riseborough type Ⅳ, the fractures were fixed with few cancellous or interfacial screws through the postero-medial approach, the olecranon and the attached triceps were reflected proximally after the olecranon osteotomy. Among the other 6 severe fracture-dislocations of the elbow, 2 complicated with fracture of the coronoid process; 1 fracture of the Regan type Ⅲ, whose fragments were over 50% of the coronoid process, was fixed with screws; another 1 fracture of the Regan type Ⅱ, whose comminution was less than 50%, was sutured with the joint capsule from proximal to distal part; 2 combined with radial head fracture of Mason type Ⅳ, both selected the lateral elbow approach, 1 with resection because of comminution, the other was fixed nearly the 2/3 of its whole dimension; and 2 with olecranon fracture were fixed with tension-band wire. Results All 10 patients were available at final follow up, the mean duration was 12 months (range, 6-18 months). According to the Morry scoring system, there were 6 excellent, 3 good, 1 fair, and the effective rate was 90%. 8 cases united in the first-stage, the other 2 achieved delayed union because of open fracture. Conclusion The technique of hinged external fixator for the fractures around elbow not only can help to stabilize the fractures but also allows early rehabilitation. In comparison with other methods, it can better improve the function of elbow, so it is an effective treatment for this kind of injury.

Objective To assess the clinical value of hybrid external fixator combined with limited internal fixation for distal tibial fracture.Methods 22 patients with distal tibial fracture were treated with hybrid external fixator and limited internal fixation from March 2002 to January 2005.In those cases,17 patients were male and 5 patients were female,their age was from 20 to 48 years old,with an averge of 33 years old,all fracture sites were not beyond the ankle joint for 5 cm.Among those cases,18 patients were intraarticular fracture and between them 4 patients belong to Ruedi typeⅡ,14 patients belong to Ruedi type Ⅲ.4 patients were extraarticular fracture.18 patients were close injury and of them 16 patients belong to modified Tscherne typeⅡ,2 patients belong to modified Tscherne typeⅢ.4 patients were open fracture,2 patients belong to GustiloⅡand 2 patients belong to Gustilo Ⅲ.Displaced articular fragments were fixed with cannulated lag screws or Kischner wires,the reduction of extraarticular fracture by adjusting external fixator to acquire.Results All patients were followed-up from 8 to 28 months,mean 18 months and average heal time was 3.2 months.Using Tornetta criteria,excellent 10,good 5,fair 3,with 83% excellent and good rate for intraarticular fracture.Excellent 3,good 1,for extraarticular fracture.There were 20 patients with wound primary healing,2 patients delayed healing and they all were open fracture.Complications included 10? anterior angled malunion in 1 case,and pin tract infection in 2 cases.Conclusion Using this metheod treated distal tibial fracture can reduce soft tissue injury,can obviously reduce the wound infectious rate and admit early motion of ankle joint,so it is beneficial to early restore the ankle joint's function.

AIM To compare the effects of probimane( Pro), bimolane ( Bim) and razoxane( Raz) on animal tumor metastasis in vivo . METHODS A biological inoculation method for assessment of pulmonary metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma(3LL) was employed. RESULTS Pro and Bim inhibited the pulmonary metastasis of 3LL both from d 2 and from d 8 injections, but Raz only inhibited the pulmonary metastasis of 3LL from d 2 injections. Pro inhibited the pulmonary metastasis of 3LL more potently than Bim did at equitoxic dosage. CONCLUSION Pro is better in the treatment of pulmonary metastasis of 3LL than Raz for its possible novel molecular mechanisms.
