Objective To compare the therapeutic effects of locking compression plate distal ulna hook plate (LCP-DUHP) and cannulated screws in the internal fixation for fractures of the fifth metatarsal base at zones Ⅰ and Ⅱ.Methods This retrospective study included 67 patients who had been treated for fractures of the fifth metatarsal base at zones Ⅰ and Ⅱ from July 2013 through December 2015.Of them,29 were treated by internal fixation with cannulated screws,including 17 men and 12 women with an average age of 46.6 years.There were 13 zone Ⅰ fractures and 16 zone Ⅱ fractures according to the Lawrence-Botte partition.The other 38 patients were treated by internal fixation with LCP-DUHP,including 20 men and 18 women with an average age of 33.7 years.There were 20 zone Ⅰ fractures and 18 zone Ⅱ fractures according to the Lawrence-Botte partition.The therapeutic effects were evaluated at the final follow-ups using visual analogue scale (VAS) for the affected feet,American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot scoring system,and incidence of postoperative complications.Results All this series were followed up for 51 to 87 weeks (average,57weeks).There were no significant differences between the cannulated screws group and the LCP-DUHP group in terms of fracture healing time (13.9 ± 1.6 weeks versus 14.2 ± 1.8 weeks),VAS scores (4.9 ± 1.3 versus 4.8 ± 1.O) or AOFAS midfoot scores (87.9 ± 3.4 versus 88.6 ± 2.5) (P > 0.05).Bony union was achieved in all.No implant failure was observed in this series.Conclusion Both LCP-DUHP and cannulated screws can lead to satisfactory therapeutic effects in the treatment of fractures of the fifth metatarsal base at zones Ⅰ and Ⅱ.

Objective:Based on the relevance risk analysis of medical equipment,to formulate process management strategies to improve the clinical operation efficiency of medical equipment.Methods:The risk matrix was evaluated from the perspectives of subject,quality,environment,system and diagnosis and treatment perspective,the comprehensive evaluation model of relevance risk was established,and multiple process management countermeasures were formulated.400 sets of medical equipment in clinical use in Shanghai Eighth People's Hospital from April 2021 to March 2022 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group by the digital table method,with 200 sets in each group.The control group adopted the individualized risk analysis method for process management,and the observation group adopted the relevance risk analysis method for process management.The risk level and operation benefits of the two groups of medical equipment were compared and analyzed.Results:The high risk rates of medical imaging diagnostic and auxiliary equipment,surgical treatment equipment,life support and first aid equipment,extracorporeal circulation and blood processing equipment,health monitoring and rehabilitation equipment in the observation group were 17.39%(4/23),14.58%(7/28),12.24%(6/49),5.55%(1/18)and5.06%(5/62),respectively,which were lower than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(x2=4.132,4.009,6.275,4.833,4.859,P<0.05).The scores of cost benefit,social benefit,diagnosis and treatment benefit and development benefit of medical equipment in the observation group were(91.37±6.15)points,(92.78±3.80)points,(95.25±2.09)points and(90.51±3.82)points,respectively,which were higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(t=2.392,3.877,4.841,2.504,P<0.05).Conclusion:The relevance risk analysis method can reduce the probability and hazard degree of medical equipment safety risks,improve the clinical operation efficiency of medical equipment,and the process management strategy is in line with the actual needs of the medical equipment lifecycle management.
