[Objective]To compare the results of 3 methods to treat complete dislocation of acromioclavicular joint.[Method]Three different surgical techniques were employed: K-wire tension band(in group A of 26 cases),clavicular hook plate(in group B of 34 cases) and percutaneous screw and K-wire(in group C of 32 cases).There were 78 males and 14 females,and all the cases were acute complete dislocation of acromioclavicular joint.[Result]Eighty-six cases were followed up with an average period of 19 months(13～31 months).Acording to Karlsson's standards,the rate of excellent and good in the three groups was 73.1%,94.1%,93.8% respectively.The mean oprate time was 35.6min,38.6min,28.1 min respectively.The average blood loss was 43.6ml,48.3ml,7.5ml respectively.The average incision length was 8.8cm,8.9cm,0.7cra cm respectively.The complications were 20,9,8 respectively.[Conclusion]Percutaneous coracoclavicular screw and acromioclavicular K-wire fixation has advantages of less opration time and blood loss,cosmetic scar,and a low complication rate,good clinical results.It is believed to be a better method for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

[Objective]Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common fracture around elbow in children.In recent years,with the progress of minimally invasive technique,closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation has been widely applied in clinics to reduce the complications and surgical trauma.The relative literature concerning supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children was reviewed to find out the latest progress in classification criteria,the manipulation and reference standard of closed reduction,the configuration and effects of different percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation,and the complications and prevention measures for closed reduction and percutaneous pinning fixation.

Objective To describe a technique of closed reduction and percutaneous internal fixation for the treatment of displaced patellar fractures and evaluate the clinical results. Methods Fifteen cases (nine males and six females with mean age of 35.5 years, ranging from 24 to 65 years) with displaced patellar fractures were treated with closed reduction (or an arthroscopic-assisted reduction) and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation (or Kirschner wire tension band wiring technique) under guidance of fluoroscopy or C-arm X-ray tomography. Controlled passive range of motion exercises started on the first postoperative day. The mean follow-up was 28 months (24-35 months). Results All cases healed successfully with healing time of (1.2?2.2) months and mean Lysholm II score of 86.8 (79-96), except for one patient regained full knee range of motion. Compared with the contralateral side, a mean quadriceps atrophy of 0.8 cm was seen in unilateral cases based on Tandogan measurement. There was no implant failure or postoperative infection. Conclusions The technique of closed reduction and percutaneous internal fixation is appropriate for displaced, transverse, longitudinal or oblique patellar fractures and can facilitate early postoperative range of motion exercises and accelerate rehabilitation of the affected knee with few complications and minor incision without disturbing blood supply of the patella. But, this method is not suitable for severely comminuted fractures.

Objective To introduce the methods and key points for the external fixation combinel with limited percutaneous internal fixation plus colostomy in the treatment of open pelvic fracture concomitant with perineal laceration.Methods Nine patients with open pelvic fractures concomitant with perineallaceration were treated by external fixator combined with limited percutaneous internal fixer plus colostomy. Data including injury details, management and outcomes were collected for comparison.Results All the patients survived and attained bony union except for two patients with local infection that was healed several days after repeated wound debridement and use of wide spectrum antibiotics. All the patients had good extremity function at the latest follow-up. Conclusion External fixation combined with limited percutaneous internal fixation plus colostomy is a reliable, safe and less invasive procedure for the treatment of open pelvic fractures concomitant with perineal open wound.

Objective To investigate the anatomical features, operative method and efficacy of internal fixation in the treatment of iutra-articular fractures of caleaneum via the sinus tarsi approach. Methods The pathway, branches distribution and anastomosis of perforating descending branch of peroneal artery were observed on 18 adult cadaveric lower limbs. A sinus tarsi approach was designed. From July 2001 to January 2008, 71 intra-articular calcaneal fractures in 68 patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation via sinus tarsi approach at lateral sides of calcaneus. According to the Sanders classification, there were 26 type Ⅱ fractures, 32 type Ⅲ fractures and 13 type Ⅳ fractures. Results All patients were followed up for a mean period of 39.3 months (13-85 months), and the fractures were completely healed. There was a significant difference in the length, width and height of the calcaneus, Bohler angle and Gissane angle before and after operation (P < 0.01). According to Maryland Foot Score, the operative effect was excellent in 33 feet, good in 29 feet, fair in 6 feet and poor in 3 feet. Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation via sinus tarsi approach is an effective method for minimally invasive treatment of intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus, with the advantages of good clinical results and causing minimal damage to soft tissues.

ObjectiveTo investigate the radiological characteristics,morphological characteristics of fracture fragments and treatments of posterior bicondylar tibial plateau fractures.MethodsA total of 47 patients with posterior bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated between March 2005 and February 2009 were enrolled in the study.Characteristics of fractures and morphologies of fracture fragments were measured precisely with CT-chip Starpacs system.A retrospective study was carried out on the therapeutic results of the 47 patients undergone lateral condylar plate and medial condylar lag screw fixation via anterolateral combined with anteromedial tibial plateau approaches.Results Posteromedial condylar fracture was split one with small displacement,but the fracture was unstable.In the meantime,the fracture fragments were inverted three prism in shape and remained quite intact.Posterolateral condylar fracture was compression one and was often associated with soft tissue injury of knee joints.According to the Rasmussen radiology score,the results were excellent in 24 patients,good in 18,fair in three and poor in two.According to the Rasmussen function score,the results were excellent in 13 patients,good in 27,fair in two and poor in five.ConclusionsThe morphous of posteromedial condylar fracture is similar with that of Hohl type E fracture.The posterolateral condylar fracture is compression one.Anterolateral combined with anteromedial approaches for posterior tibial plateau fractures allow stage Ⅰbone fusion with internal fixation,simultaneously repair recombined injuries and achieve excellent radiological and clinical results.

Objective To evaluate and compare the clinical outcome of coracoclavicular screw and double Endobutton plate in treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation ( Rockwood Ⅲ-Ⅴ ). Methods Twenty-eight patients with Rockwood Ⅲ-Ⅴ acromioclavicular dislocation were subjected to surgical reconstruction from January 2008 to October 2009. The coracoclavicular screw was performed in 14 patients and the double Endobutton plate in the other 14 patients. Clinical evaluation was performed by using Constant score and subject should value (SSV) in both groups, and the preoperative and postoperative radiographs, curative effects and complications were compared. Results The patients in two groups were followed up for a range of 6-25 months (average 12.6 months) , which showed higher postoperative Constant score and SSV score than preoperation in both groups (P＜0.05). But the postoperative Constant sore and postoperative SSV score in the double Endobutton group were (89.8 ±8.3) points and (85.7 ±7. 3) points respectively, significantly better than (78. 0 ± 10. 3) points and (71. 8 ±9. 7) points respectively in the coracoclavicular screw group ( P ＜ 0.05). The radiologic measurement showed no significant difference in regard of the coracoclavicular distance three months after operation in two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions The double Endobutton plate can attain significantly superior clinical outcomes for Rockwood Ⅲ-Ⅴ acromioclavicular dislocation compared with the coracoclavicular screw. The surgical technique of reconstructing the coracoclavicular ligament through anatomical approach will be the future trend in treatment of the acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

Objective To observe the effects of early rehabilitation on the serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) levels of patients with acute cerebral infarction.MethodsSixty patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into a rehabilitation group and a control group. All received routine treatment at the acute stage, including anti-platelet aggregation medication, drugs for improving microcirculation, neurotrophic agents and prompt treatment of any complications. Patients in the rehabilitation group also received systemic rehabilitation training beginning immediately after their vital signs had been stabilized. NSE in serum was assayed before treatment and after 3, 7and 14 days. National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) scores were evaluated at each time point, and the two groups were compared.ResultsThere was no significant difference in serum NSE or NIHSS scores between the two groups pre-treatment. Both groups improved to a certain extent, but the improvements in the rehabilitation group were significantly better than in the control group, as their NSE levels at 7 days and NIHSS scores at 14 days were both significantly better.ConclusionsEarly rehabilitation intervention contributes to reducing serum NSE levels after acute cerebral infarction, lessening brain injury, and thereby promoting the recovery of damaged neural function.That may be one of the mechanisms by which early rehabilitation promotes functional recovery in patients with acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To study the feasibility and clinical effect of percutaneous C2 pedicle lag screw in treatment of Hangman's fracture and define the indications of the technique. Methods There were 9 patients including 5 males and 4 females at average age of 36 years (26-68 years). According to a Levine and Edwards System, there were 5 patients with type Ⅰ hangman' s fracture, 3 with type Ⅱ hangman' s fracture and 1 with type Ⅱ A hangman' s fracture. According to American spinal injury association (ASIA) system, the spinal cord function was ranked at Type D in 2 patients and Type E in 7. All patients achieved anatomic reduction by skull traction. Under general anesthesia, 9 patients were fixed with percutaneons C2 pedicle lag screw. The whole procedure was done under monitoring of "C"-arm fluoroscopy for safety and accuracy. Results All patients obtained bony fusion within 2-3 months, with no infection, neurological deficits, vertebra artery injury or other complications. CondusionsThe percutaneous C2 pedicle lag screw fixation is minimally invasive and effective for treatment of Hangman's fracture. During the course of treatment, the function of upper cervical spine remains unaffected.

Objective To investigate the possibility,surgical methods,outcome and surgical indications of minimal invasion dynamic hip plate (MIDHP) through percutaneous limited open reduction in treatment of subtrochanteric femur fractures.Methods All cases underwent percutaneous limited open reduction with MIDHP.Duration of operation,intraoperative bleeding volume,length of incision,incidence of intra-or post-operative complications of all case were recorded.X-ray films were reviewed periodically after operation to analyze aspects of fracture displacement,loosening of intemal fixation,screw cutting femoral neck,screw penetrating out of or withdrawing from femoral head,bending or breaking of internal fixation,and fracture healing.Hip joint function was evaluated according to Huang' s criteria.Results Operation lasted for 45-55 minutes (average 50 minutes),showing the incision length of 4.0-5.0 cm (average 4.5 cm) and blood loss of 50-200 ml (average 150 ml).A total of 21 cases were enrolled in the study and were followed up for 6-28 months (average 18 months).In the follow-up,loosening or bending of internal fixation,fracture displacement,screw cut-out,and screw penetrating or withdrawing from femoral head did not occur.In the meantime,incision,bone,and joint were not infected.All cases had bony fusion within 3 months with the fracture healing rate of 100％.According to Huang' s criteria,hip function was excellent in 19 cases and good in two.Conclusions MIDHP with percutaneous limited open reduction is characterized by less trauma,small incision,less blood loss,less postoperative complications,firm fixation,early functional exercise,free load,and good hip functional recovery and hence is suitable for cases of different subtrochanteric femur fractures,especially for cases combined with osteoporosis.
