ObjectiveTo investigate the curative effect of structural bone graft in treatment of high energy injury-induced complicated distal radius fractures combined with articular surface collapse and comminuted epiphyseal bone defect.MethodsThe study involved 38 patients with distal radius fractures (AO classification, type C3) treated from January 2007 to October 2010.The patients were treated with temporary Kirschner wire fixation to recover the wrist articular surface, distal radius length and palmar tilt angle at the greatest possibility.According to the form of the bone defects, the iliac bone taken from three layers of the cortical bone was embedded in the subchondral bone to support the bone graft, and a small amount of cancellous bone graft was collected to fill the articular surface collapse as much as possible for anatomical reduction of the articular surface, and anatomical form of the distal radius was reconstructed.Modified Sarmiento Gartland and Werley evaluation systems were used to evaluate the articular function recovery.ResultsThe follow-up lasted for 1-3.2 years, which showed no complications such as plate rupture or iatrogenic nerve blood vessels injuries.The fracture healing time was 15-22 weeks (mean 18.3 weeks).The wrist articular function in some patients obtained obvious improvement through functional rehabilitation training.According to the modified Gartland and Werley function evaluation systems, the curative effects reached excellence rate of 87%.During follow-up, there were two patients with high progressive loss in the height of the distal radius and two with articular surface collapse and severe carpal joint flexion and extension dysfunction.ConclusionsThe high energy injury-induced distal radius fractures with articular surface collapse and epiphyseal bone defect need recovery of the wrist articular surface, distal radius length and palmar tilt angle.Structural bone graft can effectively support the grafted bone and maintain the flatness of the radiocarpal articular surface, restore the anatomy of the distal radius and facilitate the functional recovery of the wrist.

Objective To increase the understanding in protein-losing enteropathy (PLE).Methods Sixty-one PLE patients were enrolled in the study and the clinical characteristics, complicated disease, diagnosis and treatment were analyzed. Results The age of the patients was 16-77 (40±15)years, and the gender ratio was 35:26 (female: male). The main clinical manifestations were bilateral lower limb edema in 51 cases, ascites in 41 cases, bilateral pleural effusion in 23 cases, pericardial effusion in 13cases, abdominal pain in 16 cases and diarrhea in 33 cases. The prominent abnormality in laboratory examinations was hypoalbuminemia. The underlying diseases include systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in 28 cases, intestinal lymphangiectasia in 12 cases, hepatic cirrhosis in 5 cases, heart diseases in 5 cases,Crohn's disease in 3 cases, membranous nephropathy in 2 cases, Budd-Chiari syndrome in 1 case. Four cases happened after abdominal operation and 1 case after radiation therapy of gastric cardia cancer. Thirtyseven cases were diagnosed by 99Tcm-labelled human serum albumin scintigraphy and 24 cases were diagnosed clinically. Treatment was focused on underlying diseases. The clinical manifestations in 21 cases of SLE improved after SLE was controlled. In 2 cases of intestinal lymphangiectasia and one with Crohn's disease, the clinical manifestations improved after surgery. The other patients had no improvement.Conclusions PLE was not uncommon in clinical practice. Its predominant characteristics were severe hypoalbuminemia, edema and dropsy of serous cavity. PLE can complicate other diseases such as SLE,intestinal lymphangiectasia. Treatment should be focused on primary disease.
