Objective To explore surgical techniques and clinical effects of arthroscopic absorbable interference screw fixation and four-stranded hamstring tendon autograft for the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Methods Forty-two patients with rupture of the ACL were operated on by arthroscopic four-stranded hamstring tendons autograft reconstruction using SR-PLLA absorbable screw fixation. Results Follow-up for 3～22 months (mean, 11 4 months) in all 42 patients showed normal motion range of knee joint. Postoperative Lachman test revealed ≤1+ in 37 patients, 2+ in 4 patients and 3+ in 1 patient. All patients showed an absent pivot shift. Postoperative Lysholm score was 89 7?9 6 points, which had increased significantly as compared with the preoperative score (49 4?9 1 points; t =2 12, P =0 038). Postoperative Tegner activity grading scale was 5 3?1 1 points, which was significantly higher than the preoperative one (2 3?0 7 points; t =4 13, P =0 008). MRI examination at first postoperative year showed that absorbable interference screws were partly absorbed in 29 patients,and reconstructed ligaments were in good position and normal in shape in 27 patients.The tendon grafts were anchored on the femur a little too more to the front side in 2 patients, and on the tibia a little too more to the front side in 3 patients, with slight impingement phenomena. Conclusions In ACL reconstruction, four-stranded hamstring tendon is an ideal graft material and absorbable interference screw is optimal for internal fixation.

Objective To estimate the operative risk and outcomes of colorectal cancer patients 80 years of age and older. Methods Colorectal cancer resection was performed in 99 patients 80 years of age and older between Dec. 1987 and June 2005. The informations about clinical data, co-morbidity,complications, operative mortality and survival were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were followed-up for 45.12 months (range 1-136) months. Results Of 99 patients, co-morbidity was found in 43 patients (43.4% ) and complication in 10 patients (10.1%). No patient died of operation.Eighty patients completed the follow-up study. The overall 3-year survival rate and disease-free survival rate were 64.3% and 61.1%, respectively. Whereas the overall 5-year survival rate and disease-free survival rate were 52.8% and 52.1%, respectively. In univariate analysis, curative or palliative operation, tumor differentiation, cancer embolism in the vasculature, tumor staging and complications were proved to be significant prognostic factors. Multivariate survival analysis,however, showed that only the curative or palliative operation was independent factor for survival.Conclusions The high risk of co-morbidity for patients 80 years of age and older is not the obstacle to cancer resection.These patients will have satisfactory outcomes via optimal treatment and operation.
