Objective To explore the surgical treatment for ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures.Method From December 2000 to March 2007,13 patients with ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures were treated,7 patients were stabilized with reconstruction inter-locking nail,3 patients were stabilized with cannulated lag screws and retrograde inter-locking nail,and the other patients who were missed diagnosis were stabilized with cannulated lag SCreWS and antergrade inter-locking nail.Results All patients were followed up for 18 months to 5 years,and had fracture union at one stage,except 1 patient had nonunion offemoral neck fracture and 1 patient had nonunion offemoral shaft fracture.Conclusions The ipsilateralfractures offemoralneck and shaftismre.andthefemoral neckfractureis easyto bemissed.The treating method should be chosen according to the position of femoral shaft fracture.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of percutaneous micro-balloon compression (PBC) trigeminal ganglion for the treatment refractory trigeminal neuralgia. Methods Surgical results of 452 patients with trigeminal neuralgia treated by PBC from October 2009 to May 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. 125 cases aged over 80 years old and 70 cases′ pain belongs to the first branch neuralgia. Such procedures as Meckle′s cave cannulated with No.4 Forgarty catheter and the balloon inflated and compressed the gasserian ganglion monitored by X-ray were observed by PBC. Follow-up interview and curative effects were recorded. Results The average hospitalization was 6.1 days. Among them, 432(95.6%) cases had immediate relief from pain. The overall pain relief rate was 97.8% in our group without serious surgical complications. Postoperative complications include hemifacial numbness in 385 patients (85.2%), mild masseter muscle weakness in 248 patients (54.9%), diplopia in 2 patients. All symptoms relived or disappeared within 1 ~ 6 months. The average follow-up intervier period is 23.5 months. The recurrence rate is 10.2% (46 cases). Conclusion PBC is a safe and effective method with high pain relief rate in the treatment of refractory trigeminal neuralgia , especially for the treatment of the high risk patients , patients with recurrent symptoms or the patients suffered from the first branch neuralgia.
