BACKGROUND:The residual alveolar ridge in edentulous patients with osteoporosis always presents with a poor shape,which increases the difficulty in complete denture restoration.Until now,there are no predictors for residual alveolar ridge resorption or guidelines on the frequency of denture relines.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation between the frequency of complete denture relines and serum bone turnover markers,osteocalcin (OC) and cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen (CTX),in elderly edentulous patients with osteoporosis,in order to provide reference for complete denture repair.METHODS:According to inclusion criteria,50 elderly edentulous patients with osteoporosis who had complete dentures were recruited in the study randomly.The frequency of complete denture relines was surveyed by related questionnaire and medical record,and the serum OC and CTX levels were detected by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.Related data were analyzed statistically via Pearson correlation analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:It showed a strong positive correlation between the frequency of complete denture relines and the serum OC level (r=0.517,P < 0.01).No significant correlation between relines frequency and the serum CTX level was observed (r=0.278,P=0.051 > 0.05),but it showed a similar tendency between them.These findings indicate that to detect the levels of serum bone turnover markers may be conducive to evaluating curative effect of complete dentures in elderly edentulous patients with osteoporosis as well as to making subsequent diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

BACKGROUND:Coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with transclavicular-transcoracoid driling is an effective surgical technique to treat acromioclavicular dislocation. A good driling in the clavicle leads to a perfect bony tunnel and a good surgery. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of different driling positions of the clavicle on the location of bony tunnels in coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction. METHODS:Sixty three-dimensional digital models of the clavicle and coracoid process were constructed by Mimics13.0. Virtual transclavicular-transcoracoid bony tunnels were established according to different surgical planes with different driling positions in the clavicle. Parameters of these bony tunnels were measured, and the safety was evaluated. Option 1: The driling was made 30 mm distal to the clavicle, located in the center of the front and rear edges of the clavicle surface. Option 2: The driling was made 40 mm distal to the clavicle, located in the center of the front and rear edges of the clavicle surface. Option 3: The driling was made at the straight line of tapered nodule tip and the midpoint of the base of the coracoid process, located at the rear edge of the clavicle upper surface. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Bony tunnels in option 1 were extremely on the inside of the coracoid. Bony tunnels in options 1 and 2 were not in the center of clavicle. Bony tunnels in option 3 were in the center of both clavicle and coracoid. The method of locating the driling position with a certain distance to the distal clavicle leads to different results in man’s and woman’s models. To ensure that the bony tunnel can pass through the center of clavicle and coracoid, it is suggested to dril at the straight line of tapered nodule tip and the midpoint of the base of the coracoid process and nearby the rear edge of the clavicle upper surface.

BACKGROUND:Intertrochanteric fracture can obtain good curative effects after active effective internal fixation in early stage.
OBJECTIVE:To compare dynamic hip screw+trochanter stabilizing plate and Gamma nail fixation for treatment of Evans type IIIB and type IV intertrochanteric fracture.
METHODS:A total of 67 patients with Evans type IIIB and type IV intertrochanteric fracture, including 28 cases undergoing dynamic hip screw+trochanter stabilizing plate and 39 cases undergoing Gamma nail, were selected from Chongming Branch, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from February 2009 to November 2012. Al patients received antibiotics and functional exercises after treatment. Time of therapy, intraoperative bleeding amount, fracture healing time and Harris Hip Score were retrospectively analyzed in patients of both groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were fol owed up for 6-45 months, averagely 21 months. (1) One patient affected infection in the dynamic hip screw+trochanter stabilizing plate group. He was healed after fixation removal half a year after drug exchange. One obese patient experienced injury again during out-of-bed activity at 3 weeks after treatment in the Gamma nail group. Fracture appeared at distal end of lock pin, and healed after replaced by Gamma nail. Trochanteric stabilizing plate was unstable in four patients of the Gamma nail group. They affected severe pneumonia after over 6 weeks of lying in bed, and healed after treatment in the medical department (2) Coxa vara appeared in two cases of the dynamic hip screw+trochanter stabilizing plate group, and three cases in the Gamma nail group. Fracture healing was achieved in al patients. (3) The time of therapy was longer, and intraoperative bleeding amount was significantly more in the dynamic hip screw+trochanter stabilizing plate group compared with the Gamma nail group (P<0.05). No significant difference in healing time and Harris Hip Score was detected between the two groups (P>0.05). Dynamic hip screw+trochanter stabilizing plate and Gamma nail are effective methods for treatment of Evans type IIIB and type IV intertrochanteric fracture. To choose a suitable fixator, we should aggregately analyze fracture stability, healing state and the degree of osteoporosis.
