Objective To investigate the effect of exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on bone activity of rabbit heterotopic allograft decalcified bone.Methods 140 adult healthy China white rabbits were selected,no limitation with sex,20 rabbits as the donor preparation of allogenic decalcified bone,according to the random number table,the rest was divided into the experimental group (allograft decalcified bone ± VEGF) and the control group (Allograft decalcified bone),each group contained 60 rabbits.For the experimental group,the prepared 1.5 cm long homologous decalcified tibia was placed in rabbit right thigh of rectus femoris and vastus medialis muscle gap near by saphenous artery,and fixed on the femur with two 0.8 mm Kirschner wire.In the vicinity of the skin,implanted an osmotic pump which contain the VEGF solution 200 μl with concentration was 0.5 μg/ml.In the control group,implanted the isometric allograft decalcified bone in rabbit right thigh corresponding parts with the same method.Each group respectively at 0,2,4,6,8,10 weeks to death 10 white rabbits,By specimen observation,HE dyeing observation and detection of type Ⅰ glue protein fluorescence intensity,Analysis the bone activation degree of two groups of bone allograft decalcified.Results Experimental allograft decalcified bone gradually wrapped by connective tissue membrane,its surface appear different size of the pits and gradually increased and become deep,while the control group pits relatively little and shallow.In the experimental group and control group,the fluorescence intensity of type Ⅰ collagen reached its peak respectively at 8 weeks (47.57 ±3.50) and 10 weeks (45.07±6.02),with no statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Rabbit allograft decalcified bone implanted in the muscle clearance with abundant blood supply can be transformed into activated bone after 10 weeks,and after applying exogenous VEGF,allograft decalcified bone can be transformed into activated bone after 8 weeks,the bone activation process obviously speed up.The reaults confirmed the exogenous VEGF can obviously promote the ectopic rabbit bone allograft decalcified bone activation process.

A case of a 3-year-old child suffered with severe crush injury to the right forearm and right hand on June, 2017. A comprehensive treatment was conducted with limb salvage, free flap repair and the repair of nerve, vessel and tendon for functional reconstructions followed by rehabilitation therapies. The function and appearance of the injured limb and hand recovered well 3 years after surgery.

Reports a case admitted in the Ward I of Department of Surgery of Zhengzhou Renji Hospital in June 2017. A young child who suffered destructive injury of left forearm, wrist and palm with severed 3rd-5th fingers. Tendon and neurovascular repairs of forearm, wrist and palm were performed with pedicled abdomina flap and the 3rd-5th fingers ectopic replantation in Phase I surgery. In the Phase II surgery, the abdomina flap division was carried out. The replantation of severed fingers after ectopic replantation and the reconstruction of foot defect with free anterolateral thigh flap(ALTF) were carried out in Phase III surgery. In Phase IV surgery, fingers functional reconstruction and foot flap thinning were performed. Four years after surgery, the thumb oppositions to middle, ring and little fingers could be completed, with slightly limitations. The appearance and texture of transferred foot flap were good, and the child could walk and run almost normally.

Replantation of traumatic amputation in children has its own characteristics. This consensus primarily focuses on the issues related to the treatment of traumatically amputated limb injuries in children. Organised along a timeline, the consensus summarises domestic and international clinical experiences in emergency care and injury assessment of traumatic limb amputation limbs, indications and contraindications for replantation surgery, principles and procedures of replantation surgery, postoperative medication and management, as well as rehabilitation in children. The aim of this consensus is to propose standardise the treatment protocols for limb replantation for children therefore to serve as a reference for clinical practitioners in medical practices, and further improve the treatment and care for the traumatic limb amputations in children.
