OBJECTIVETo photoelastically investigate the difference in load distribution of Tension More (TM) implants with different conical angle designs.
METHODSThe following five groups of implants of different conical angles were designed: cylinder implant, upper 1/3 TM implant (taper length of 3 mm); 1/2 TM implant (taper length of 5 mm); lower 1/3 TM implant (taper length of 7 mm); and bottom TM implant (taper length of 10 mm). The implants were centrally located in individually photoelastic models consisting of a simulated trabecular bone and a 1 mm-thick layer of cortical bone. Vertical and 45° oblique static loads were applied at the center of the superstructures. The resulting stresses were monitored photoelastically and recorded photographically. RESULTS With vertical loading, the cylinder implant showed higher stress levels in the cortical bone and trabecular bone than the upper 1/3 TM implant, 1/2 TM implant, and lower 1/3 TM implant. The four groups of TM implants showed lower stress levels in the cortical bone than the cylinder implant under oblique loads. The least favorable stress concentration in cortical bone was observed in the upper 1/3 TM implant under vertical and oblique loads.
CONCLUSIONTM implants of rational conical angle designs seem to be effective in stress distribution. For all designs and load directions, the upper 1/3 TM implant is the most favorable around the crest.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of endovascular embolization for the treatment of cerebellar arteriouvenous malformations (AVMs) associated with aneurysm, and to discuss its technical points. Methods The clinical data of 142 patients with cerebellar AVMs were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 142 patients, 42 had concomitant aneurysms. The patients were divided into concomitant aneurysm group and without aneurysm group. Using univariate and multivariate statistical models, the patient’s gender and age, the presence or absence of hemorrhage, the lesion’s location and size, and the presence or absence of deep venous drainage were analyzed. Results A total of 61 concomitant aneurysms were detected in the 42 patients, which were located within the malformation mass (n=14) or on the feeding artery (n=47). The concomitant aneurysms located in the malformation were closely related to AVM hemorrhage and the deep venous drainage. During the follow-up period after endovascular embolization, no recurrence of bleeding was observed in all the 42 patients. Conclusion In order to reduce the relapse rate of hemorrhage, the formulation of therapeutic measures should be based on the management of the concomitant aneurysm when endovascular embolization treatment is employed for AVM associated with aneurysm.
6.Research progress in treatment of Essex-Lopresti lesion
Chinese Journal of Trauma 2018;34(6):569-572
The Essex-Lopresti lesion is characterized by a fracture of the radial head with concomitant rupture of the interosseous membrane and disruption of the distal radioulnar joint. The EssexLopresti lesion is rare and serious, easily subject to missed diagnosis. However, all sorts of therapeutic methods can only yield poor results for chronic Essex-Lopresti lesion. Therefore, early and accurate diagnosis is crucial. The key to treat acute Essex-Lopresti lesion is the reconstruction of radial head and restoration of radius length, preventing the proximal move of radius. At the same time, the distal radioulnar joint should be reset and stablized, and the triangular fibrocartilage complex(TFCC) repaired, so as to restore the normal anatomic relation between radiu and ulna and to reconstruct forearm longitudinal stability. Further studies are needed on whether the forearm interosseous membrane needs repair as well as on repair method selection. The author reviews the Essex-Lopresti injury treatment methods in order to facilitate better clinical treatment.
7.Research progress in treatment of comminuted radial head fractures
Chinese Journal of Trauma 2018;34(8):764-768
Radial head fracture accounts for one third of the elbow joint fracture.At present,for fractures without obvious displacement,non operative treatment can achieve good results.In the case of complicated comminuted fracture of the radial head,open reduction with internal fixation and the radial head replacement have their own advantages and disadvantages.There is no exact reference for the selection of surgical procedures,and the best treatment regimen remains controversial.No matter which method is adopted,it is necessary to repair accompanied injuries.Meanwhile,postoperative standard rehabilitation exercise is also essential for the recovery of elbow function.The typing of radial head comminuted fracture and the status quo of its treatment is reviewed in this paper,so as to provide reference for better clinical treatment.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of a 3D reconstruction assisted preoperative optimal design of anterolateral abdomen cross-region free perforator flaps for repair of soft tissue defects of limbs.Methods:Twenty patients who were treated for soft tissue defects of hand, forearm, foot and ankle in the Department of Hand Surgery, the Sixth Hospital of Ningbo from October 2017 to January 2020 were included in this study. Among the patients,17 had soft tissue defects in hand and forearm and 3 with composite tissue defects including ankle and soft tissue defect of foot. The sizes of soft tissue defects in limbs ranged from 6 cm × 8 cm - 36 cm × 18 cm. Twenty free cross-area perforator flaps were optimal designed with CTA and 3D assisted reconstruction before surgery. Following combinations of flaps were designed: (1) Free perforator flap with inferior abdominal artery and superior abdominal artery; (2) Free perforator flap with superficial iliac circumflex artery and deep iliac circumflex artery; (3) Free perforator flap with superficial iliac circumflex artery and inferior abdominal wall perforator artery; (4) Free perforator flap with perforators of superficial iliac circumflex artery plus superficial abdominal artery; (5) Free perforator flap with perforating artery of lower abdominal wall and superficial artery of abdominal wall. The overall nutritional area of a combined flap were 272.3 cm 2± 12.5 cm 2, 107.4 cm 2± 9.3 cm 2, 193.6 cm 2± 24.2 cm 2, 155.2 cm 2± 20.1 cm 2 and 203.7 cm 2± 16.3 cm 2, respectively. All the donor sites were sutured directly in one stage. The appearance, texture, blood supply, colour, joint movement of affected limbs, recovery and function of donor sites were observed through postoperative follow-up visits at the outpatient clinic. Results:Among the 20 anterolateral transventral perforator flaps, 18 flaps survived successfully; One had partial necrosis after surgery, and healed after dressing change. Subcutaneous haematoma occurred in 1 flap, and survived after drainage. In this study, there was no postoperative infection of flap. A total of 19 flaps healed in one stage, except 1 that had a delayed healing and the flap wound was closed after dressing change for 1 week. According to Disability of Arm, Shouder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire evaluation, which is widely used in the world to evaluate the therapeutic effect after limb injury, combined with the 6-12 months of follow-up, the functional recovery of 17 patients with upper limbs iniury was 7 in excellent, 9 in good and 1 in poor. The overall excellent and good rate achieved 94.1%. All the 3 patients with foot injury recovered well, and the walking and jumping were not significantly affected. The results were all excellent according to the Maryland Foot Function Scoring. Sensation of flaps was evaluated according to the British Sensory Function Evaluation, it showed: 3 in S 2, 15 in S 3 and 2 in S 3+. All 20 flaps had good blood supply, in soft texture, good colour, feeling, thickness and movement. The donor sites all healed well. Conclusion:Combined with an optimal preoperative design, the perforator flap of anterior lateral wall cross-region can obtain a satisfactory clinical efficacy in repair of large area soft tissue defects. It is a feasible treatment method.
