Objective To study the method and clinical results of Infrared Fluoroscopic Navigation Guiding system guided percutaneous vertebroplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.Methods Twenty-two cases with 32 osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty guided by Infrared Fluoroscopic Navigation Guiding system.The fracture segment was within T6-L 4(14 thoracical vertebrae,18 lumbarver vertebrae).The compression ratio was from 20% to 90% in which 5 vertebral bodies were 75%.12 vertebral bodies underwent PVP,and 20 vertebral bodies underwent PKP in which balloon expansion were used in 12 vertebral bodies and sky expansion were used in 8 vertebral bodies.Single vertebral body injection were in 14 cases,two vertebral body injection were in 6 cases,three vertebral body injection were in 2 cases including 18 vertebral bodies injection via unilateral pedicle of vertebral arch and 14 vertebral bodies injection via bilateral pedicle of vertebral arch.Restoration of vertebra height and cement leakage was observed by postoperative X-ray and CT scan.Changes of preoperative and postoperative vertebral body volume measured by CT volumetry was compared.Preoperative and postoperative Vasual analogue scale(VAS)score was compared.Results PVP was successful in 22 cases with 32 vertebral bodies.No nerve and spinal cord damage,lung embolism and heart and brain vessel acute reaction occurred.Operative time was(18.4?4.5)mins per vertebral body.X-ray dosage was(12.2?3.4)dGy per vertebrae.The amount of bone cement was(4.4?2.5)ml per vertebrae.The vertebral body volume was improved from preoperative(22.2?8.6)cm3 to postoperative(24.8?6.9)cm3 with a significant differences(P

Objective To investigate the indications and mid-term outcomes of periacetabular osteotomy through ilioinguinal approach for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in middle-aged (40-50years old) adult patients.Methods Data of 10 adult patients who had undergone periacetabular osteotomies through ilioinguinal approach for DDH from August 2005 to February 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 7 females and 3 males,aged from 40 to 47 years (average,42 years).Bilateral hips were involved in 3 patients,and unilateral hip was involved in 7 patients.Before this hospitalization,1 patient had received Chari osteotomy,and 1 had received hip-shelf procedure.According to the T(o)nnis classification,3 hips were classified as Grade 0,5 as Grade Ⅰ and 2 as Grade Ⅱ.The Shenton line was discontinuous in 6 hips.The average lateral center-edge angle was 3.50°±4.88°; the average anterior center-edge angle was 1.80°±5.07°; the average acetabular index angle was 18.20°±3.01°; the average femoral head extrusion index was 31.30％±4.37％; the average Harris hip score was 67.40±7.75.Changes of the indexes mentioned above were observed during the whole period of follow-up.Results All patients were followed up for 10 to 76 months (average,37 months).The T(o)nnis grade improved in 2 cases,from preoperative Grade Ⅰ and Grade Ⅱ to Grade 0 and Grade Ⅰ at final follow-up,respectively.At final follow-up,the Shenton line was discontinuous in 2 hips; the average lateral center-edge angle improved to 30.40°±3.31°,the average anterior center-edge angle improved to 29.50°±3.03°,the average acetabular index angle decreased to 4.50°±2.55°,the average femoral head extrusion index decreased to 9.90％±4.33％; the average Harris hip score increased to 84.10±4.07.The major complications included 3 cases of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve palsy which recovered in 4 to 6 months,and 1 case of iliac fossa hematoma which disappeared in 2 weeks.Conclusion With more strict surgery indication and more meticulous manipulation,periacetabular osteotomy through ilioinguinal approach can achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of DDH in middle-aged adults,which can increase hip joint congruence,relieve hip symptom and delay progression of osteoarthritis.

Objective To study curative effects of infrared fluoroscopic navigation guided percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Methods A total of 28 cases of osteoporotic vetebral compression fractures(41 vertebrae) underwent infrared fluoroscopic navigation guided percutaneous vertebroplasty.The fracture was located at T_6～L_4 segment,including 16 thoracic vertebrae and 25 lumbar vertebrae.Fluoroscopic images of the spine were obtained,calibrated,and saved after the reference shelf was fixed on the spinous process of fractured vertebrae.The trajectory,a virtual tool corresponding to the tracked tool,was overlaid onto the saved fluoroscopic views in real time.Postoperative X-ray and CT examinations were performed to observe the vertebral body diaplasis as well as the distribution and leakage of bone cement.The vertebral body volume was measured with CT volumetry preoperatively and postoperatively.The visual analogue scale(VAS) scores were compared before and after operation. Results The bone cement was successfully injected in all the 41 vertebrae.Percutaneous vertebroplasty was performed in 13 vertebrae,while percutaneous kyphoplasty was conducted in 28 vertebrae(including balloon expansion in 12 vertebrae and "sky" expansion in 16 vertebrae).Vertebral body injection was performed via unilateral pedicle in 26 vertebrae and via bilateral pedicle in 15 vertebrae.Of the 28 cases,cement injection was carried out in one vertebral body in 17 cases,in two vertebral bodies in 9 cases,and in three bodies in 2 cases.No intraoperative deaths,nerve root or spinal cord injuries,or pulmonary embolism and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular emergencies occurred.The operative time for each vertebra was 7.7～20.7 min(14.2?3.3 min) in percutaneous vertebroplasty and 11.2～32.4 min(21.8?5.4 min) in percutaneous kyphoplasty.The X-ray exposure dose for each vertebra was 5.4～19.6 dGy(12.5?3.6 dGy).The amount of injected cement for each vertebra was 2.2 ～6.8 ml(4.6?1.2 ml).The vertebral volume was elevated from preoperative 21.4?4.6 cm3 to postoperative 25.8?5.4 cm3(t=5.623,P=0.000).The VAS scores decreased from preoperative 7.6?1.2 to postoperative 2.9?0.7(t=12.946,P=0.000).No serious complications or vertebral collapses were found during follow-up examinations for 3~14 months(mean,8 months) in the 28 cases. Conclusions Use of infrared fluoroscopic navigation for guiding percutaneous vertebroplasty is feasible.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of 3D-CT navigation in guiding pedicle screw fixation in the thoracic spine.Methods Thoracic pedicle screw placement guided by 3D-CT navigation was performed on 24 cases,including 14 patients with thoracic spine fractures,6 thoracic tumors,and 4 scoliosis.CT data was input into the navigation system,and point-matching test was chosen.The optimal position,diameter,and length of the screw were set up using navigation stick after true-up.Then,the screw was placed dynamically in a stereo way according to navigation plan.After the operation,the position of the pedicle screw was assessed with CT using the Rampersaud grading system.Results Under the guidance of 3D-CT navigation,a total of 144 screws were successfully fixed into the 24 patients.According to the Rampersaud grading system,136 of the screws were at grade A(94.4%),6 at grade B,1 grade C,and 1 grade D.No postoperative injury of the nerve or spinal cord was observed.Of the patients,22 were followed up for a mean of 8 months(range,6-14 months).During the follow-up,no loose or breakage of the screw was detected by X-ray and CT.No delayed spinal cord injury was found.Conclusions The thoracic pedicle screw placement can be accurately guided by 3D-CT navigation.
