From January 2005 to January 2008, 23 cases of fractures and dislocations of cervical spine treated with anterior decompression, reconstruction of bone graft with titanium mesh, and titanium locking plates fixation in Department of Orthopaedics, the 309 Hospital of Chinese PLA were retrospectively analyzed, including 16 males and 7 females, aged 41.9 years (ranging 25 ?65 years). The clinical effect and application value of this treatment was evaluated; the conditions at preoperative, immediate postoperative and follow-up were evaluated by JOA grade, and these radiographs were taken. Lordosis (kyphosis) of the fusion segment with Cobb's angle, and lordosis (kyphosis) of cervical spine with D value were measured to evaluate effect of reconstruction and cervical spine physiological curve. All cases were followed-up for 20.5 months (ranging 1-3 years). Clinical stability was reached in all cases during the follow-up. There were significant differences between preoperative and immediate postoperative, between preoperative and follow-up groups in terms of JOA grade, Cobb's angle and D value (P < 0.05). The JOA grade of immediate postoperative was improved compared with that during follow-up (P < 0.05). The mean improvement rate was 63% at 1 year of follow up. A good curative effect was obtained by using anterior locking plate with titanium mesh systems in treatment of cervical fractures and dislocations and a good effect of restoring and maintaining the lordosis of cervical spine can be also obtained.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between postoperative complications and prognosis after radical hepatic resection for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).Methods We retrospectively summarized patients' clinicopathological data and postoperative complications.Postoperative complications were graded using Dindo-Clavien system of classification.Then we investigate the relation between these data and prognosis.Results One hundred and seventy-three patients were recruited.Postoperative complications developed in 59 (34.1%) cases.37 patients had minor complications and 22 patients had major complications.On univariate (x2 =8.106,P =0.004) and multivariate analysis (x2 =8.006,P =0.005),complication was an independent predictor of overall survival (OS).However,in a subgroup of patients with minor compications,morbidity was not associated with a significant reduction in both OS (x2 =3.199,P =0.074) and disease-free survival (x2 =1.313,P =0.252).Conclusions Postoperative complications are an independent factor for long-term outcomes after hepatic resection for CRLM.
