OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore the impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on prognosis of patients older than 80 years after hip fracture. METHODS: This retrospective, observational, single-center study included patients older than 80 years who underwent hip fracture operations between Feburary 2013 to June 2021 at our hospital. Patients were divided into CKD and non-GKD groups based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/(min·1.73m²)] or not. Outcomes were the incidence of in-hospital postoperative infectious and non-infectious complications, 30-day readmission, and in-hospital death. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of CKD on these outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 498 patients were included, 165 in the CKD group and 333 in the non-CKD group. Eighty-seven (52.7%) CKD patients experienced 140 episodes of postoperative complications. In comparison, 114 (34.2%) non-CKD patients had 158 episodes of postoperative complications. CKD patients were more likely to have postoperative complications than non-CKD patients (OR = 2.143, 95% CI: 1.465-3.134, P < 0.001). CKD increased the risk of cardiovascular complications (OR = 2.044, 95% CI: 1.245-3.356, P = 0.004), acute kidney injury (OR = 3.401, 95% CI: 1.905-6.072, P < 0.001), delirium (OR = 2.276, 95% CI: 1.140-4.543, P = 0.024), and gastrointestinal bleeding (OR = 4.151, 95% CI: 1.025-16.812, P = 0.031). The transfusion rate (OR = 2.457, 95% CI: 1.668-3.618, P < 0.001) and incidence of 30-day readmission (OR = 2.426, 95% CI:1.203-4.892, P = 0.011) in CKD patients were significantly higher than those in patients without CKD. CONCLUSIONS CKD is associated with poor postoperative outcomes in geriatric hip fracture patients. Special attention should be paid to patients with CKD.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of the novel bone hook combined with finger-guided technique in the treatment of irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fractures in elderly. METHODS: Between January 2021 and August 2023, 23 elderly patients with irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fractures were treated with the novel bone hook combined with finger-guided technique. There were 10 males and 13 females; the age ranged from 68 to 93 years (mean, 76.2 years). The time from injury to operation ranged from 36 to 76 hours (mean, 51.2 hours). According to the classification standard proposed by TONG Dake et alin 2021, there were 10 cases of typeⅠA, 1 case of typeⅠB, 6 cases of type ⅡA, 4 cases of type ⅡB, and 2 cases of type ⅡC. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequences, and quality of fracture reduction were recorded. The fracture healing time and occurrence of postoperative complications were observed during follow-up. At last follow-up, the Harris scoring system was used to evaluate the hip joint function. RESULTS: The operation time was 42-95 minutes (mean, 52.1 minutes). The intraoperative blood loss was 40-420 mL (mean, 126.5 mL). Intraoperative fluoroscopy was performed 14-34 times (mean, 20.7 times). According to the criteria proposed by Chang et al, the quality of fracture reduction was rated as good in 20 cases and acceptable in 3 cases. All patients were followed up 6-20 months (mean, 10.2 months). X-ray film showed that all fractures healed with the healing time of 3.0-5.5 months (mean, 4.0 months). At last follow-up, the Harris score of the hip joint ranged from 82 to 97 points (mean, 90.4 points). Among them, 14 cases were rated as excellent and 9 cases as good. No complication such as coxa vara, cutting of the cephalomedullary nail, nail withdrawal, or nail breakage occurred during follow-up. CONCLUSION The treatment of elderly patients with irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fractures by using the novel bone hook combined with finger-guided technique can achieve high-quality fracture reduction and fixation, and has a good effectiveness.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between the Barthel index score and other factors with the preoperative occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) revision surgery. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 122 patients who met the inclusion criteria and underwent THA revision surgery between April 2017 and November 2020. Among them, 61 were male and 61 were female, with an age range of 32-85 years (mean, 65.3 years). The reasons for revision included prosthetic joint infection in 7 cases, periprosthetic fracture in 4 cases, prosthetic dislocation in 6 cases, and aseptic loosening in 105 cases. The Barthel index score was 76.4±17.7, with 10 cases classified as level 1, 57 as level 2, 37 as level 3, and 18 as level 4. Univariate analysis was performed on variables such as age, gender, body mass index, Barthel index score, preoperative D-dimer positivity, history of diabetes, hypertension, cancer, cerebral infarction, smoking, and thrombosis in patients with and without preoperative DVT. Furthermore, logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for preoperative DVT in THA revision surgery. The incidence of preoperative DVT was compared among different Barthel index score groups. RESULTS: Preoperative DVT was detected in 11 patients (9.02%), all of whom had intermuscular venous thrombosis. Among them, 1 had prosthetic joint infection, 1 had periprosthetic fracture, 1 had prosthetic dislocation, and 8 had aseptic loosening. Univariate analysis showed significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, gender, and Barthel index score ( P<0.05). logistic regression further revealed that female, age ≥70 years, and Barthel index score<60 were independent risk factors for preoperative DVT in patients undergoing THA revision surgery ( P<0.05). The incidence of preoperative DVT in patients with Barthel index scores of levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 0 case (0%), 2 cases (3.5%), 3 cases (8.1%), and 6 cases (33.3%), respectively. A significant correlation was found between Barthel index score classification and the incidence of preoperative DVT in patients undergoing THA revision surgery ( χ ²=10.843， P=0.001). CONCLUSION In patients undergoing THA revision surgery, older age, female, and lower Barthel index scores are associated with higher preoperative DVT incidence. For patients with low preoperative Barthel index scores, preoperative thrombosis screening should be emphasized.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of 5G remote robotic surgery in the treatment of pelvic fractures. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 160 patients with pelvic fractures admitted between July 2023 and June 2024 who met the selection criteria. Among these patients, 80 underwent internal fixation surgery with the assistance of 5G remote robotic surgery (5G group), while 80 received local robotic surgical assistance (control group). Baseline characteristics, including gender, age, body mass index, disease duration, cause of injury, and fracture classification, were compared between the two groups, and no significant difference was found ( P>0.05). The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, accuracy of screw placement, maximum residual displacement postoperatively, quality of fracture reduction, incidence of complications, Majeed pelvic function score and classification at last follow-up were recorded and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: In the 5G group, 180 screws were implanted during surgery, while 213 screws were implanted in the control group. The 5G group demonstrated significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss and shorter incision length compared to the control group ( P<0.05). No significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of operation time or hospital stay ( P>0.05). Radiographic evaluation revealed excellent and good reduction rates of 98.8% (79/80) in the 5G group and 97.5% (78/80) in the control group, while excellent and good screw placement accuracy rates were 98.3% (177/180) in the 5G group and 95.8% (204/213) in the control group. No significant difference was found between the two groups in maximum residual displacement, reduction quality, or screw placement accuracy ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up 7-16 months (mean, 11.3 months), with no significant difference in follow-up duration between the groups ( P>0.05). No perioperative or follow-up complication, such as wound infection, iatrogenic fractures, iatrogenic neurovascular injury, screw loosening or breakage, or nonunion, were observed in either group. The control group exhibited a worse degree of gait alteration compared to the 5G group ( P<0.05), while no significant difference was found in incidences of squatting limitation or persistent pain ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, no significant difference was observed between the groups in Majeed pelvic function scores or grading ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION Compared with the local surgery group, 5G remote robotic surgery supported by remote expert technical guidance demonstrated smaller incision lengths, less intraoperative blood loss, and fewer postoperative complications, and was shown to be a precise, minimally invasive, safe, and reliable surgical method.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness and shoulder function of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of Neer three/four-part proximal humeral fractures in the elderly. METHODS: Randomized controlled analysis was conducted on 68 patients over 70 years old with Neer three/four-part proximal humeral fractures treated with RTSA or ORIF between January 2020 and June 2022. The patients were randomly divided into RTSA group ( n=32) and ORIF group ( n=36). There was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in the baseline data such as age, gender, body mass index, injured side, Neer classification, and preoperative Charlson comorbidity index, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Constant shoulder score, Oxford shoulder score (OSS), and hemoglobin (Hb). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, reduction of Hb on the 3rd day after operation, hospital stay, total cost of hospitalization, complication incidence, range of motion of shoulder joint at 2 years after operation, VAS score before operation and at 5 days and 1 month after operation, Constant shoulder score and OSS score before operation and at 2 years after operation, and imaging results during follow-up were recorded and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Compared with the ORIF group, the RTSA group had longer operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, and higher total cost of hospitalization ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Hb reduction on the 3rd day after operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). The VAS scores significantly improved in both groups at 5 days and 1 month after operation ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up 26-35 months, with an average of 31.2 months. In the RTSA group, there were 2 cases of poor healing of superficial incision and 1 case of transient nerve injury. There was no complication such as bone resorption around the prosthesis, lucent band, prosthesis loosening, or periprosthetic fracture in all patients. In the ORIF group, there was 1 case of poor healing of superficial incision, 3 cases of nonunion of fracture, 1 case of arthritis secondary to humeral head necrosis, and 1 case of bone absorption of large tuberosity, and no displacement or fracture failure of internal fixation was found in all patients. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications [9.4% (3/32) vs 16.7% (6/36)] between the two groups [ OR (95% CI): 0.828 (0.171, 4.014), P=0.814]. In the RTSA group, 28 cases were graded 0 and 4 cases were graded 1 at 2 years after operation. Constant and OSS scores of RTSA group were significantly better than those of ORIF group ( P<0.05). The Constant score was significantly better than ORIF group in activity and strength, range of motion, lifting, abduction, and external rotation ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in pain, daily function, and internal rotation between the two groups ( P>0.05). The RTSA group had a significantly greater range of motion in lifting, abduction, and external rotation than ORIF group ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in internal rotation between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION Application of RTSA as the initial treatment of Neer three/four-part proximal humeral fractures in the elderly can achieve better rehabilitation of joint activity and lower risk of early reoperation, and improve the quality of life of elderly fracture patients. However, the difficulty of revision and the high cost of treatment require the surgeon to pay full attention and strictly grasp the indications.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of early versus delayed closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation in the treatment of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 468 children with supracondylar humerus fractures, who were admitted between January 2020 and December 2023 and met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 187 children were treated during 12 hours after injury (early operation group) and 281 were treated after 12 hours (delayed operation group). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in the gender, age, injury mechanism, fracture side and type, while there was significant difference in interval from injury to operation ( P<0.05). The operative outcomes, including the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, the length of hospital stay, fracture healing time, elbow function assessed by Flynn criteria at 3 months after operation, and complications, were compared. RESULTS: Compared to the delayed operation group, the early operation group demonstrated significantly shorter operation time and less intraoperative blood loss ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). All children were followed up 3-12 months. The follow-up time was (6.7±2.9) months in the early operation group and (6.9±2.8) months in the delayed operation group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the fracture healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 3 months after operation, the early operation group exhibited superior Flynn elbow functional outcomes to the delayed operation group ( P<0.05). In the early operation group, there was 1 case of fracture non-union and 3 cases of cubital varus deformity after operation. In the delayed operation group, there was 1 case of nerve injury, 7 cases of fracture non-union, and 12 cases of cubital varus deformity after operation. There was significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P<0.05). One case of the early operation group and 10 cases of the delayed operation group underwent secondary operation, showing no significant difference in the incidence of secondary operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION For pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures, early closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation can reduce operation time, minimize intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications, and improve the functional recovery compared to delayed operation.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of piriformis muscle release versus preservation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) via supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach on muscle injury. METHODS: Forty-nine patients undergoing initial THA via SuperPATH approach between June 2022 and June 2023 were randomly divided into two groups, with 24 patients in trial group and 25 patients in control group. The trial group received piriformis muscle release intraoperatively, whereas the control group underwent muscle preservation. There was no significant difference in baseline data such as gender, age, body mass index, disease type, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading, and preoperative muscle infiltration, muscle atrophy, muscle injury serological indicators, Harris score, etc. ( P>0.05). The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, total blood loss, hospital stay, preoperative and postoperative 1-day muscle injury serological indicators [including creatine kinase (CK) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)], and incidence of complications between two groups were recorded. Harris score was used to evaluate the recovery of hip joint function. MRI was used to evaluate the extent of hip muscle injuries (gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, piriformis, obturator internus, quadratus femoris), including tendon integrity, degree of muscle fat infiltration, and degree of muscle atrophy preoperative and 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS: The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and total blood loss in the trial group were significantly shorter than those in the control group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incision length and length of hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). Both groups showed a significant increase in serum CK and LDH levels on postoperative day 1 compared to preoperative levels ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up, the follow-up time for the trial group and the control group was (14.8±2.8) and (15.1±3.0) months, respectively, with no significant difference ( t=-0.400, P=0.691). Incisions healed by first intention in both groups, with 1 case in the trial group and 2 cases in the control group experiencing venous thrombosis in the calf muscle space. There was no complication such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, hip dislocation, prosthesis loosening, or periprosthetic infection in the lower limbs. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 1 year after operation, both groups of patients showed a significant increase in Harris scores compared to preoperative levels ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with preoperative results, both groups showed significant fat infiltration in the piriformis and obturator muscles at 1 year after operation ( P<0.05), while there was no significant fat infiltration in the gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, and quadratus femoris muscles ( P>0.05). At 1 year after operation, except for the higher incidence of piriformis muscle fat infiltration in the control group compared to the trial group ( P<0.05), there was no significant difference in the incidence of other muscle infiltrations between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 1 year after operation, both groups of piriformis and obturator muscles showed significant muscle atrophy compared to preoperative levels ( P<0.05). The gluteus minimus and gluteus medius showed mild atrophy compared to preoperative levels, while the maximum transverse diameter of the quadriceps muscle slightly increased, but the differences were not significant ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the maximum cross-sectional diameter or cross-sectional area changes of each muscle between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 1 year after operation, the continuity of the gluteus medius and quadratus femoris muscles in both groups was intact. Both groups had some patients with incomplete continuity of the piriformis muscle, obturator internus, and gluteus minimus, but the difference was not significant ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION The SuperPATH approach THA may cause injury to the piriformis, gluteus minimus, and obturator internus. The piriformis muscle release does not increase muscle injury, but it can shorten the operation time and reduce bleeding.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of simultaneous bilateral total knee athroplasty (SB-TKA) for the treatment of patients aged 65 years and younger with bilateral knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by comparing with patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty (U-TKA). METHODS: A clinical data of patients, who underwent primary TKA for KOA and met the selection criteria between June 2019 and July 2023, was retrospectively analyzed, including 181 patients in the U-TKA group and 52 patients in the SB-TKA group. The baseline data of age, gender, disease duration, body mass index, and preoperative hemoglobin (Hb), knee range of motion (ROM), Oxford knee score (OKS), and visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain were compared between the two groups, with no significant difference ( P>0.05). The operation time, postoperative hospital stay, and all complications related to knee arthroplasty were recorded. Hb was measured at 2 days after operation and the difference between pre- and post-operation was calculated. The knee function and pain were evaluated by using ROM, OKS score, and VAS score and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The operation time and postoperative hospital stay duration were significantly shorter in the U-TKA group than in the SB-TKA group ( P<0.05). The difference of Hb was significantly lower in the U-TKA group ( P<0.05). All patients were followed up 12-61 months (mean, 37.2 months). There was no significant difference in follow-up time between the two groups ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the ROM, OKS score, and VAS score of both groups were better than the preoperative ones, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05); there were significant differences between the two groups in the ROM and OKS score ( P<0.05), while no significant difference was found in the VAS score ( P>0.05). Mild complications were observed in 31 cases (17.13%) and severe complications in 3 cases (1.66%) in the U-TKA group, while mild complications were observed in 14 cases (26.92%) in the SB-TKA group, and no severe complication occurred. There was no significant difference in the incidences of mild and severe complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION In patients aged 65 years and younger with bilateral KOA, knee function and mobility can significantly improved when treated by SB-TKA. While patients had lower postoperative knee mobility and function scores compared with U-TKA, there was no significant difference in pain scores or overall incidence of complication. Strict patient selection and scientific perioperative management are important to achieve good effectiveness after operation in patients with SB-TKA.

OBJECTIVE: To review the application progress of customized steel plates in osteotomy and orthopedic treatment for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), and provide reference for orthopedic surgeons and researchers. METHODS: Extensive review of the literature on customized steel plates for osteotomies and knee-preserving surgeries for KOA, 2015-2025, with an overview of the principles of customized steel plate design, clinical applications, and future directions, describing their advantages and shortcomings. RESULTS: Customized steel plates have demonstrated many advantages in osteotomy and orthopedic treatment of KOA, which not only enhance surgical outcomes and optimize mechanical properties, but also reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. However, high cost, long manufacturing period, and selection of patient indications are still important factors restricting their use. CONCLUSION Customized steel plates show promising potential in treating KOA. Not only do they reduce surgical duration and enhance postoperative healing outcomes, but they also effectively lower the incidence of postoperative complications, thereby improving patients' quality of life.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors associated with the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA) following arthroscopic surgery for degenerative lesions of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. METHODS: Between January 2012 and January 2014, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 506 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for degenerative disease of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. The cohort included 230 males and 276 females, aged from 32 to 58 years old with an average of (46.77±9.02) years old. According to the results of postoperative follow-up, patients were categorized into a knee osteoarthritis(OA) group and a non-OA group. The following parameters were recorded for each subject:gender, medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), presence of bone edema on MRI, physical characteristics (including McMurray test results, locking symptoms, and medial knee tenderness points), meniscus protrusion, type of meniscus injury, and free body condition as observed via arthroscopy. Multivariate unconditional Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the associated factors influencing the 10-year postoperative incidence of knee osteoarthritis following surgery for degenerative injury of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. Independent risk factors potentially influencing the development of postoperative OA were identified, and a nomogram-based predictive model for postoperative OA was established. The discriminatory ability and calibration accuracy of the model were assessed using the C-index and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, respectively. Furthermore, internal validation was performed using the bootstrap resampling method. RESULTS: Within a 10-year period following arthroscopic surgery, there were 123 patients in the OA group and 383 patients in the non-OA group. Significant differences were observed between two groups with respect to gender (χ²=5.156, P=0.023), MPTA<86.6° (χ²=21.671, P<0.001), varus lower limb alignment( χ²= 80.086, P<0.001). Additionally, meniscus extrusion (χ²=6.371, P=0.012), meniscus transverse tear (χ²=14.573, P<0.001), and bone edema detected on MRI(χ²=9.881, P=0.002) were identified as factors associated with the development of postoperative knee OA. The multifactorial Logistic regression analysis revealed that the lower limb line of force inversion OR=4.324, 95%CI (1.391, 13.443), P=0.011;MPTA <86.6°, OR=2.519, 95%CI (1.150, 5.519), P=0.021;transverse meniscus tear, OR=4.546, 95%CI (1.827, 11.310), P=0.001;meniscus ectropion, OR=5.401, 95%CI (1.992, 14.646), P=0.001;and bone edema manifestation on MRI OR=2.692, 95%CI (1.169, 6.200), P=0.020. They were independent risk factors associated with the development of postoperative OA. The area under the ROC curve predicted by the model was 0.927, 95%CI (0.903, 0.950). The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, used to evaluate the accuracy of the model, yielded P=0.689. Additionally, the internally sampled calibration curve demonstrated good consistency with the actual postoperative OA outcomes. CONCLUSION Varus alignment of the lower extremity, MPTA <86.6°, transverse meniscus tear, lateral meniscus injury, and bone marrow edema observed on MRI were independent risk factors for the development of knee osteoarthritis following arthroscopic surgery. Additionally, the prognostic model demonstrated excellent predictive performance.
