BACKGROUND:The anatomical strucure of acetabulum is smal and shal ow in adult acetabular dysplasia patients. The large amount of cal us and scar tissues in the acetabulum make it difficult to identify and instal the acetabular cup during arthroplasty. The comprehensive understanding of the acetabulum before arthroplasty is the premise for selecting the appropriate acetabular prosthesis and making the acetabular reconstruction program. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the application value of three-dimensional reconstruction technique in choosing the size of acetabular cup before total hip arthroplasty for acetabular dysplasia. METHODS:Spiral CT was carried out in the 11 acetabular dysplasia patients who waiting for total hip arthroplasty. The acetabulum was multi-planar reconstructed, and the size of the acetabular cup was determined through digitized acetabular cup template implantation, and then the mathching degree assessment was performed to compare with the actual size. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Spiral CT could clearly show the acetabular morphology, and the 71.4%of the acetabular size chosen in the three-dimensional preoperative plan was the same as actual one, the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.888. The agreement was much higher than that of two-dimensional preoperative plan based on X-ray plain film. For the patients with acetabular dysplasia, the acetabulum became saml er and shal ower, and there were various extents of bone defects in the superior-lateral acetabulum. Three-dimensional multi-planar reconstruction can effectively evaluate the acetabular morphology, and three-dimensional preoperative plan can provide useful information for the choice of implant.

BACKGROUND:The anatomical structure of acetabulum is different for the developmental dysplasia of the hip, which is smal and shal ow, with abundant cal us and scar tissue. It is difficult to determine the diameter of cup and instal ation of the cup during arthroplasty. Loosening and survival of postoperative prosthesis were influenced by local mechanical changes.
OBJECTIVE:Using the three-dimensional finite element analysis, the stress distribution in acetabular cup-bone interface after implanting cups with different diameters was studied during total hip replacement in treating the dysplasia of hip.
METHODS:Pelvis of developmental dysplasia of the hip patients was selected in this study. Acetabulum in the dysplasia was scanned by spiral CT. The computer simulation technology was applied to reconstruct the three-dimensional model of the pelvic for observing the dysplasia of hip from CT scan picture. Implanting cups with different diameters were simulated. Then the pelvis and acetabular cup model were meshed. The mechanics analysis tool was used to analyze three-dimensional model.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:For the developmental dysplasia, we chose cup with smal diameter that could lead to better bone bed inclusion of cup during total hip replacement. Smal diameter cup induced a smal contact area and increased unit area stress. On the other hand, with implanting the larger cup and increasing degree of acetabular grinding, the acetabular wal bone breaks more obvious, so that the stress (compressive stress and shearing force) concentration at the top of the acetabulum and uneven stress in the rest were apparent increasingly. Thus, in clinical practice, under the premise of the bone bed inclusion, a large diameter cup is helpful to good distribution of stress during total hip replacement, but the perforation of acetabular wal induced by enlarged bone bed should be avoided or minimized.

BACKGROUND:Hepatic cirrhosis may adversely affect the outcome of major orthopedic surgery, such as total hip arthroplasty. Peri-operative treatment is the chal enge for al orthopedic surgeons.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the safety and feasibility of hip replacement surgeries in patients with hepatic cirrhosis.
METHODS:Thirteen patients with hepatic cirrhosis that underwent hip replacement were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the treatments and their efficacy before and after replacement.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al 13 surgeries were successful y performed. Al cases were fol owed up for more than five months and were graded according to Child-Pugh Criteria for hepatic functional reserve preoperatively and postoperatively. Five cases of the seven preoperative grade A cases preserved grade A postoperatively during a two-week observation, while another two cases rose to grade B and needed hepatic conservation treatment before discharge. Two cases of the six preoperative grade B cases rose to grade C with developed jaundice and ascites. Of the two, one even suffered a complication of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage 5 days after surgery. Somatostatin and proton pump inhibitors were administered to stop bleeding. Al cases gained a satisfying recovery. Harris hip score at fol ow-up showed favorable hip function. Hip replacement is safe and feasible for patients with hepatic cirrhosis when ful evaluation of hepatic function and appropriate perioperative management are ensured.

Aim To introduce and apply artificial lumbar interverte-brai disc replacement for the treatment of lumbar disc degenerative diseasesand lumbar disc herniation accompanying evident disc space narrowing andinvestigate the regulation of its recovering spinal motion and carrying a-bility. Methods Thirty-one cases (37 discs) of artificial lumbar disc re-placement were performed using SB Charite Ⅲ from April 1998 to April2000. Among them, disc degenerative diseases were in 16 cases (18discs), disc herniation accompanying evident disc space narrowing in 13cases ( 17 discs), rec urrent dise herniation in 2 cases. The rehabilitationtraining was done under postoperative instructions. Results All the caseswere followed up from 17 to 41 months (averagely 26 months) untilSeptember 2001. The clinical outcomes were excellent in 23 cases, goodin 6 cases, fair in 2 cases. The mobility of the operated level had 4.0°anterior flexion and 5. 1° posterior extension after operation and 9.1° ontotal mobility. Meanwhile, the operated intervertebral space got an average4. 2 mm higher than that before. Because of technical problem, a slightdisplacement of the core occurred in one case without any clinical symp-toms and signs. Conclusion Artificial lumbar disc replacement can re-covery spinal motion and carrying capacity and provides a new kind ofoperation for the treatment of lumbar disc degenerative diseases and discherniation accompanying evident disc space narrowing.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of diffusion kurtosis imaging(DKI)in the classification of hepatic fibrosis. Methods Thirty-five male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups:the hepatic fibrosis group(n=28)and the control group(n=7). The rats in hepatic fibrosis group were randomly divided into 4 subgroups and seven rats per group, the rats were administrated 50% CCl4 intraperitoneally twice a week to establish hepatic fibrosis , and the four subgroups were injected 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, respectively. The rats in the control group were administrated same dose of olive oil for 8 weeks. One rat in hepatic fibrosis group was died of liver failure in the 7th week, and a total of 27 fibrosis experimental rats and 7 control rats were finally included in this study. DKI was performed at the end of the injection period for all rats, the apparent diffusion(D)and kurtosis(K)values were evaluated. Rats were sacrificed immediately after MRI scan and liver specimens were collected. The liver tissues were examined by pathology, liver fibrosis degree, which was graded from S0 to S4, and inflammatory activity, which was graded from G0 to G3 were graded. The difference of D value and K value between different liver fibrosis and inflammatory activity scores was compared by one-way ANOVA(normal distribution)or Kruskal-Wallis test(skewed distribution). Spearman correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to reveal the correlation between DKI parameters and fibrosis staging/necroinflammatory activity grade. To confirm the efficiency of using the ROC curve of DKI parameters to qualify the liver fibrosis grade, which grade was≥3. Results Seven, 6, 6, 7, 8 rats were diagnosed as S0 to S4, respectively. The difference of D value and K value among different fibrosis grades was statistically significant(P<0.05). D value and the degree of fibrosis was negatively correlated(r=-0.650, P<0.01);K value and liver fibrosis grade no correlation(r=0.336, P=0.080). Thirteen, 6, 8, 7 rats were diagnosed as G0 to G3, respectively. D value was negatively correlated with inflammatory activity(r=-0.590, P=0.001);K value was no correlation with inflammatory activity(r=0.169, P=0.389). Compared with inflammatory activity, fibrosis classification was an independent factor in determining D values(P=0.001). ROC analyses demonstrated an area under the curve(AUC)of D value, K value, D value combined with K value in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis grading ≥ 3 level were 0.781, 0.672 and 0.833, respectlively. The sensitivity and specificity of D value combined with K value were 83.3% and 75.0%, respectively. Conclusion DKI imaging is of great value in the classification of hepatic fibrosis and can be used as an effective method for the diagnosis of fibrosis.
