Objective To explore surgical techniques and clinical effects of arthroscopic absorbable interference screw fixation and four-stranded hamstring tendon autograft for the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Methods Forty-two patients with rupture of the ACL were operated on by arthroscopic four-stranded hamstring tendons autograft reconstruction using SR-PLLA absorbable screw fixation. Results Follow-up for 3～22 months (mean, 11 4 months) in all 42 patients showed normal motion range of knee joint. Postoperative Lachman test revealed ≤1+ in 37 patients, 2+ in 4 patients and 3+ in 1 patient. All patients showed an absent pivot shift. Postoperative Lysholm score was 89 7?9 6 points, which had increased significantly as compared with the preoperative score (49 4?9 1 points; t =2 12, P =0 038). Postoperative Tegner activity grading scale was 5 3?1 1 points, which was significantly higher than the preoperative one (2 3?0 7 points; t =4 13, P =0 008). MRI examination at first postoperative year showed that absorbable interference screws were partly absorbed in 29 patients,and reconstructed ligaments were in good position and normal in shape in 27 patients.The tendon grafts were anchored on the femur a little too more to the front side in 2 patients, and on the tibia a little too more to the front side in 3 patients, with slight impingement phenomena. Conclusions In ACL reconstruction, four-stranded hamstring tendon is an ideal graft material and absorbable interference screw is optimal for internal fixation.

BACKGROUND:After peripheral nerve injury, to inhibit scar formation by drugs is the key to functional recovery. To reduce the amount of scar formation we designed a prednisolone-loaded film which can sustain drug release and good achievement in in vitro drug release test.
OBJECTIVE:To prepare the prednisolone implantable film and investigate its in vivo biocompatibility and safety.
METHODS:Prednisolone-loaded nanoparticles were first prepared with reverse micellar emulsion-solvent evaporation method, and the composite film and drug-loaded film were further prepared. Then, we investigated the in vivo biocompatibility of drug-loaded film through celltoxicity test, hemolysis test, acute systemic toxicity test, chronic systemic toxicity test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After cultured for 7 days, the relative growth rate of L929 mouse fibroblasts was 92.6%, showing no cytotoxicity. The hemolysis rate of the film was 0.59%, indicating that the material had no hemolysis action. No abnormal biological behaviors were seen in mice after intraperitoneal injection of film extracts, and there were no changes in liver and renal functions in rats. As il ustrated above, we can safely come to a conclusion that prednisolone-loaded film possesses good biocompatibility and can be safely used in the experiment of reducing the scar at sites of peripheral nerve repair.
