BACKGROUND: With deepening of spinal biomechanics, artificial lumbar disc replacement is considered to be the optimal choice for treating degenerative lumbar disease. However, studies concerning biomechanics of artificial lumbar disc are insufficient. OBJECTIVE: To establish the three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model of artificial lumbar disc replacement and to explore the effects of artificial lumbar disc replacement on zygapophyseal joints using biomechanical analysis. METHODS: Based on normal 3-D finite element model of lumbar motion segment, L4-5 intervertebral disc, superior and inferior endplates were removed, and then, the model of SB-Charite Ⅲ disc prosthesis was added, which remained annular fibrosus and ligaments at L4-5 intervertebral space. Thus, 3-D finite element model of L4-5 segments artificial lumbar disc replacement was constructed. Biomechanical analysis of this model was processed under axial load, forward flexion, lateral bending or posterior extension moments. The stress data were contrasted with the normal 3-D finite element model of artificial disc replacement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After artificial lumbar disc replacement, the data of biomechanical analysis indicated: ①There was no significant differences between the zygapophyseal joint and normal segment of stress under axial load (P > 0.01).②Compared with normal segment, the stress of anterior, posterior of upper and lower vertebral body and bilateral zygapophyseal joint had no obviously difference under forward flexion and posterior extension moments (P > 0.01). ③The stress differences between the both sides of upper and lower vertebral body and bilateral zygapophyseal joint were not significant under lateral bending moment (P > 0.01). Artificial lumbar disc replacement can keep the stress of motion segment at normal level, which can meet the needs of spinal functional reestablishment.

OBJECTIVES: To screen the risk factors for predicting venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk after hip fracture in the elderly, to establish a prediction model based on these factors, and to analyze its prediction efficacy. METHODS: A total of 52 hip fracture patients over 60 years old with VTE admitted to the Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from March 2017 to April 2019 were selected as a thrombus group, and another 52 hip fracture patients over 60 years old without VTE were selected as a control group. The differences of hospitalization data and examination results between the 2 groups were compared. Logistic regression model was used to explore the influence of risk factors on VTE risk after hip fracture in the elderly and construct the prediction model based on these factors. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the predictive effectiveness of model, Hosmer-lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to evaluate the fitting degree of prediction model. RESULTS: Univariate analysis showed that injury-admission interval, Caprini score, WBC count, platelet count, neutrophil count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio, systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), and fibrinogen in the thrombus group were higher than those in the control group (all CONCLUSIONS SII, Caprini score, and injury-admission interval are independent predictors of VTE after hip fracture in the elderly. The prediction model based on these 3 factors has a good efficacy on the prediction of VTE risk, and could provide important reference for the prevention, management, and treatment of VTE after hip fracture in the elderly.

Accurate classification of the acetabular injuries and appropriate treatment plan are great challenges for orthopedic surgeons because of the irregular anatomical structure of the acetabulum and aggregation of important vessels and nerves around it. Letournel-Judet classification system has been widely applied to classify acetabular fractures. However, there are several limitations, including incomplete inclusion of fracture types, difficulty in understanding and insufficient guidance for surgical treatment, etc. Serious complications such as traumatic arthritis are common due to wrong classification and diagnosis and improper selection of surgical strategy, which brings a heavy burden to the society and families. Three-column classification, based on anatomic characteristics, has advantages of containing more fracture types and being easy to understand, etc. To solve the problems existing in the diagnosis and treatment process based on Letournel-Judet classification, achieve accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients with acetabular fractures, and obtain satisfactory prognosis, the Orthopedic Trauma Emergency Center of Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University and the Trauma Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate the Expert consensus on the accurate diagnosis and treatment of acetabular fractures based on three-column classification ( version 2023) in terms of principles of evidence-based medicine. Based on the three-column classification, 15 recommendations were proposed, covering the diagnosis, treatment, complication prevention and management, etc, so as to provide reference for accurate diagnosis and treatment of acetabular fractures.
