Objective To investigate the effects ofTongbicapsule on the knee joint function and the synovial fluid levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3,-9 in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods A total of 76 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group according to the random number table, 38 in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with glucosamine hydrochloride capsules, while patients in the observation group were givenTongbicapsule on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index was used to measure the knee joint function, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the synovial fluid levels of MMP-3 and MMP-9.Results The knee joint function in the observation group was significantly improved than that in the control group (94.74%vs. 78.95%;χ2=4.146, P<0.05). The synovial fluid levels of MMP-3 (67.58 ± 22.35 ng/mlvs.93.51 ± 27.84 ng/ml;t=4.477,P<0.01) and MMP-9 (36.24 ± 10.56 ng/mlvs.51.87 ± 12.35 ng/ml;t=5.930,P<0.01) in the observation group patients were significant lower than those in the control group after treatment.ConclusionsTongbicapsule was effective in treating knee joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis, and its mechanism may be related to its reducing the synovial fluid levels of MMP-3 and MMP-9.

BACKGROUND:The therapeutic regimen of intraarticular calcaneal comminuted fractures commonly selects plate and screw fixation. However, for case of posterosuperior calcaneal fracture, the weakness of achil es tendon stretch and plate screw fixation results in difficulty or maintenance of reduction. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effects of open reduction and internal fixation with steel screw and Steinmann pins for comminuted calcaneal intra-articular and posterosuperior fractures. METHODS:From December 2009 to December 2013, forty patients with fractures of comminuted calcaneal posterosuperior fractures were randomly divided into two groups. In the control group, patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation by plate screw only. In the experimental group, patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation by combination of plate screw and Steinmann pin. The Gissane and Bohler angles of the calcaneus were measured from lateral radiograph before and 4 weeks after surgery, and the MARYLAND score was assessed at the last fol ow-up. Gissane and Bohler angle and MARYLAND score were compared in each group and among different groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were fol owed up for 9-23 months. BOHLER and GISSANE angles were significantly bigger at 4 weeks after surgery compared with pre-treatment in both groups (P<0.05). BOHLER and GISSANE angles were significantly bigger in the experimental group than in the control group at 4 weeks after surgery (P<0.05). During final fol ow-up, the average score by MARYLAND Foot Score was 78 in the experimental group and 67 in control group, with their excellent and good rate of 80%and 73%. The excellent and good rate was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). These data indicated that open reduction and internal fixation with combination of plate screw and Steinmann pin has better efficacy in treatment of the comminuted calcaneal intra-articular and posterosuperior fractures compared with plate and screw fixation alone. Their fixation is firm. Functional exercise can be performed earlier. Postoperative recovery of function of the affected limbs is better than plate and screw fixation alone.

Objective:To compare the short-term clinical effect of arthroscopic and open reduction and internal fixation with Herbert screws in treatment of Mason type II radial head fractures.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 38 patients with unilateral radial head fractures (Mason type II) admitted to Shanghai Zhongye Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018, including 22 males and 16 females, aged from 20 to 65 years [(37.4±12.6)years]. Twenty patients were treated by arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation with Herbert screw (Group A), and eighteen by open reduction and internal fixation with Herbert screw (Group B). The operation time and fracture healing time were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS), elbow flexion and extension range, forearm rotation range and Mayo elbow function score were compared between the two groups before and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation. The results of Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) and upper limb function assessment using the disabilites of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) score were compared between the two groups. Complications including screw breakage or fracture displacement were also evaluated.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-14 months [(12.3±2.3)months]. There was no significant difference in operation time between the two groups ( P>0.05). The fracture healing time was (8.9±0.6)weeks in Group A and (8.7±0.6)weeks in Group B ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The VAS was (4.8±0.5)points at 1 month after operation in Group A, lower than (6.0±0.7)points in Group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS between Group A and Group B at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in elbow flexion and extension range between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The elbow flexion and extension range in Group A was (110.4±3.8)° and (137.1±4.0)° at 1, 3 months after operation, which was significant greater than (90.6±4.7)° and (125.1±3.5)° in Group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in elbow flexion and extension range between the two groups at 6 and 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the range of forearm rotation between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The range of forearm rotation in Group A was (107.1±2.8)° and (138.1±2.9)° at 1, 3 months after operation, significantly greater than (95.5±3.9)°, (121.5±3.0)° in Group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in forearm rotation range between the two groups at 6 and 12 months after surgery ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in MEPS between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The MEPS in Group A was (50.4±3.8)points at 1 month after operation, higher than (40.6±4.7)points in Group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in MEPS between the two groups at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in DASH score between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The DASH score was (57.1±2.8)points at 1 month after surgery in Group A, higher than (42.5±3.9)points in Group B ( P<0.05). The DASH score was not significantly different between the two groups at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). There was no screw loosening or fracture after operation, and one patient in each group had fracture displacement ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For Mason type II radial head fractures, arthroscopic Herbert screw fixation has the advantages of less trauma, less pain and faster functional recovery of the affected limb compared with open reduction and Herbert screw fixation.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects on new bone formation and foot-ankle function between proximal tibial bone transport and distal tibial bone transport in the treatment of massive bone defects after tibial osteomyelitis debridement.Methods:From July 2012 to July 2017, 42 patients with chronic tibial osteomyelitis received bone transport surgery at Department of Orthopaedics, Nanfang Hospital.According to the Cierny-Mader classification for chronic osteomyelitis, all of them belonged to diffusive tibial osteomyelitis (type IV).Of them, 32 were treated by proximal tibial bone transport after tibial osteomyelitis debridement.In the proximal group, there were 27 males and 5 females, aged from 17 to 65 years and involving 20 left and 12 right sides. The other 10 cases received distal tibial bone transport. In the distal group, all of them were male, aged from 25 to 63 years and involving 6 left and 4 right sides. The 2 groups were compared in terms of external fixation index (EFI) and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society(AOFAS) Ankle and Hindfoot Scale.Results:There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the preoperative general data such as gender, age or osteomyelitis site, indicating the 2 groups were comparable ( P>0.05). Both groups obtained complete follow-up. The proximal group was followed up for 590.1 d ± 287.3 d and the distal group for 615.6 d ± 130.6 d, showing no significant difference between groups ( P>0.05). In the proximal group 2 cases developed talipes equinovalgus after bone transport while in the distal group 3 cases did, and surgical intervention was needed for them. Surgical intervention was also carried out for16 cases of non-union at the docking site in the proximal group and for 2 ones in the distal group. The EFI was 76.2 d/cm±50.0 d/cm for the proximal group and 84.3 d/cm ± 59.9 d/cm for the distal group, showing no significant difference between groups ( P>0.05). The AOFAS scores were 81.4±10.1 for the proximal group and 60.0±5.9 for the distal group, showing a significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of massive bone defects after tibial osteomyelitis debridement, no significant difference has been observed in the effect on bone formation between proximal tibial bone transport and distal tibial bone transport, but the former transport may have a less adverse effect on foot-ankle function.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations, epidemiological features and progress of diagnosis and treatment of gout in the spinal canal.Methods:A 59-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital due to back pain, weakness in both lower limbs, hypoaesthesia and feeling of walking and stepping on cotton for more than one month. The preoperative imaging examination showed there were space-occupying lesions in the spinal canal at the T 8, 9 level with severe canal stenosis. The patient underwent posterior T 8, 9 laminectomy decompression, debridement and T 7-T 10 pedicle screw internal fixation under general anesthesia. The thoracic spinal gout was diagnosed by postoperative pathology. Further, the following keywords, "gout", "gout of spinal canal", "gout of spine" and "intraspinal gout", were used to search in the Chinese and English databases. A total of 62 patients with intraspinal gout were retrieved. The age, gender, involved disease, history of gout or hyperuricemia, laboratory indicators and imaging data of 63 patients were collected. Results:A total of 63 patients with intraspinal gout were retrieved. The gender of one patient was unknown. The remaining patients included 54 males (87.1%, 54/62) and 8 females (12.9%, 8/62) with the ratio of male to female 6.75∶1. The average age was 52(35, 67) years (range 20-82 years) and the peak onset period was 60-79 years. Fifty-six cases (88.9%, 56/63) of all patients suffered the disease from one single site of the spine, including 26 cases in the lumbar-sacral (46.4%), 22 cases (39.3%) in the thoracic spine and 8 cases (14.3%) in the cervical spine. However, only 7 patients had the disease at more than two sites at the same time accounting for 11.1% of all patients (7/63). Fifty-three patients (91.4%, 53/58) had a history of hyperuricemia with an average duration of 8.6 years (range 3 months to 28 years). The clinical symptoms of intraspinal gout were not specific. There were 70.5% (43/61) patients had local pain and up to 98.4% (60/61) patients had varying degrees of neurological dysfunction. X-ray examinations often showed no positive results due to technical limitations. Among 41 patients with CT imaging data, 31 cases showed mid-to-high density elliptical or irregular calcifications in the spinal canal and the remaining 10 patients showed medium-low density soft tissue masses. There were 96.2% (51/53) of patients with intraspinal gout showed medium or low signal on T1WI MRI examination but without high signal or low signal on T2WI (40 cases of high signal, 13 cases of high signal or mixed signal). All 63 patients were finally diagnosed by pathological examination and 5 of them with histological features. The main pathological features included foreign body granuloma, red-stained crystal-like deposits in the cytoplasm of foreign body giant cells, birefringent spindle or needle-like crystals under polarized light microscope.Conclusion:Gout in the spinal canal is a rare condition. Dual-energy CT has high sensitivity and specificity in identifying gout and it can provide a more accurate method in diagnosis of spinal gout. However, the final diagnosis depends on postoperative pathology. If case of spinal instability or neurological dysfunction, surgery had to be performed. Hyperuricemia should be treated in order to reduce the risk of acute attacks.
