Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of bleeding control by preoperative embolization of internal iliac artery with DSA and intra?operative presetting abdominal aorta balloon, combine with the operation techniques of exposure, reduc?tion and internal fixation of pelvic fracture through lateral?rectus approach. Methods From March 2012 to May 2015, 7 patients with type C3 pelvic fractures admitted to our department from March 2012 to May 2015, treated with preoperative embolization of internal iliac artery under digital subtraction angiography 2 h before surgery and presetting abdominal aorta balloon were retrospec?tively reviewed. There were 3 males and 4 females, with an average age of 34 years (range, 16 to 61 years). According to AO classi?fication, all 7 cases belonged to type C3 (3.2:5 cases;C3.3:2 cases), including 5 cases with limb fracture, 2 cases with craniocere?bral trauma, 4 cases with pulmonary contusion, 2 cases with injury of abdominsal organs. Time from injury to operation was 19 days on average (10 to 33 days). Patients received damage control surgery treatment including bleeding control and temporary ex?ternal fixation, and ipsilateral tractions with heavy weight, intensive care and corrections of general situation before operation. The fracture model was manufactured by 3D printing and fracture reduction was simulated on computer preoperatively. Embolization of internal iliac artery was performed in the side of severe displaced sacroiliac joint with DSA 2 hours preoperatively. Reduction was performed to stabilize anterior-posterior pelvic ring and acetabular fractures via the intraoperative lateral?rectus approach. And 2 cases were performed by temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta (≤60 min) for bleeding control in reduction of in the side of sacroiliac joint fractures. Results All the 7 cases had undergone the operations successfully, and the operating time was from 135-320 min with blood loss from 440-3 350 ml. According to Matta radiological evaluation postoperatively, reduction of pelvic fracture was rated as anatomic in 5 cases, satisfactory in 2, without complications. All 7 cases were complicated with lumbosacral plexus injury or lumbosacral trunk injury at different degrees (M0 2 cases, M1 2 cases, M2 2 cases, M3 1 case). According to the BMRC scoring system, 5 cases had well recovered and the other 2 cases had no improvement after three months (M4 2 cases, M5 3 cases). Conclusion Surgical management of pelvic fracture through preoperative internal iliac artery embolization and intra?oper?ative occlusion of abdominal aorta could effective control bleeding and achieve favorable conditions for reduction. Lateral?rectus approach can provide adequate exposure of the anterior and posterior ring, and this approach could also provide excellent visual control of reduction and fixation.

Objective To analyze the blindness and visual impairment attributed to myopic maculopathy in highly myopic patients based on the ATN classification system,as well as associated risk factors.Methods In this retrospective case-control study,clinical data of 642 adult patients(642 eyes)with high myopia admitted to the Department of Fundus Disease,Chengdu Bright Eye Hospital from January 2022 to September 2023 were collected and analyzed.Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations were conducted for all patients.Myopic maculopathy in patients with high myopia was diagnosed and graded according to the ATN classification system.The patients were divided into the blindness or visual impairment group and the non or mild visual impairment group based on the WHO diagnostic criteria for blindness and visual impair-ment.Multivariate Logistic regression was utilized to analyze the risk factors for blindness or visual impairment in patients with high myopia.Results Among the 642 eyes,myopic maculopathy was identified in 355 eyes(55.30％).Of these,there were 330 eyes(51.40％)with myopic atrophy maculopathy(A2 and above),137 eyes(21.34％)with myopic trac-tion maculopathy,and 82 eyes(12.77％)with myopic neovascular maculopathy.The percentages of blindness and visual impairment were 2.02％(95％CI:0.93％-3.11％)and 8.41％(95％CI:6.26％-10.56％),respectively.Multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis showed that older age,longer axial length and higher grade of myopic atrophy maculopathy were independent risk factors for blindness or visual impairment in patients with high myopia(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The ATN classification system can comprehensively reflect the disease severity and visual impairment of patients with myopic maculopathy.Older age,longer axial length and higher grade of myopic atrophy maculopathy are independent risk factors for blindness or visual impairment in patients with high myopia.

Objective: To investigate reduction and fixation of complex acetabular fractures using three-dimensional (3D) printing technique and personalized acetabular wing-plate via lateral-rectus approach. Methods: From March to July 2016, 8 patients with complex acetabular fractures were surgically managed through 3D printing personalized acetabular wing-plate via lateral-rectus approach at Department of Orthopedics, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University. There were 4 male patients and 4 female patients, with an average age of 57 years (ranging from 31 to 76 years). According to Letournel-Judet classification, there were 2 anterior+ posterior hemitransverse fractures and 6 both-column fractures, without posterior wall fracture or contralateral pelvic fracture. The CT data files of acetabular fracture were imported into the computer and 3D printing technique was used to print the fractures models after reduction by digital orthopedic technique. The acetabular wing-plate was designed and printed with titanium. All fractures were treated via the lateral-rectus approach in a horizontal position after general anesthesia. The anterior column and the quadrilateral surface fractures were fixed by 3D printing personalized acetabular wing-plate, and the posterior column fractures were reduction and fixed by antegrade lag screws under direct vision. Results: All the 8 cases underwent the operation successfully. Postoperative X-ray and CT examination showed excellent or good reduction of anterior and posterior column, without any operation complications. Only 1 case with 75 years old was found screw loosening in the pubic bone with osteoporosis after 1 month′s follow-up, who didn′t accept any treatment because the patient didn′t feel discomfort. According to the Matta radiological evaluation, the reduction of the acetabular fracture was rated as excellent in 3 cases, good in 4 cases and fair in 1 case. All patients were followed up for 3 to 6 months and all patients had achieved bone union. According to the modified Merle D′Aubigné and Postel scoring system, 5 cases were excellent, 2 cases were good, 1 case was fair. Conclusions Surgical management of complex acetabular fracture via lateral-rectus approach combine with 3D printing personalized acetabular wing-plate can effectively improve reduction quality and fixation effect. It will be truly accurate, personalized and minimally invasive.

Objective:To establish the classification system of sacroiliac joint dislocation with ipsilateral sacral wing fracture (SJDISWF), examine its reliability and evaluate the clinical application.Methods:A multi-center retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 20 SJDISWF patients admitted to Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi′an Jiaotong University and Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2016 to December 2019. There were 8 males and 12 females, aged from 13-58 years［(34.7±13.2)years］. Based on the direction of sacral displacement, SJDISWF was divided into 3 types. Type I: the sacroiliac joint dislocated and the ipsilateral sacral wing fracture fragment was anteriorly prolapsed; Type II: the sacroiliac joint dislocated, the ipsilateral sacral wing fracture fragment was compressed or crushed, the anterior sacral foramen may fractured; Type III: the sacroiliac joint dislocated and the ipsilateral sacral wing fracture end was inserted into the sacral canal, causing an intra-sacral canal occupation. The reliability of the classification was performed based on the assessment results of two phases in four observers at 4-week intervals. Treatments were utilized based on the types I, II, III fractures, including anterior approach for open reduction and internal fixation, closed reduction and internal fixation or posterior approach for open reduction and internal fixation respectively. Postoperative fracture healing time was recorded. Quality of fracture reduction was graded according to Matta′s criteria. Majeed functional score was recorded at postoperative 3 months, 6 months and the final follow-up. Complications were detected as well.Results:The overall Kappa value of inter-observer reliability was 0.890. The overall Kappa value of intra-observer reliability was 0.854. There were 12 patients with type I, 7 with type II and 1 with type III. All patients went through the procedure uneventfully and were followed up for 6-36 months［(20.0±8.7)months］. All patients achieved clinical healing in 8-14 weeks［(10.2±1.7)weeks］. According to the Matta′s criteria for fracture reduction, the outcome was excellent or good in 83% (10/12) for type I, 71% (5/7) for type II and 0% (0/1) for type III, with the overall excellent rate of 75%. Majeed functional score was (74.6±5.2)points at postoperative 3 months and (84.4±5.8)points at postoperative 6 months ( P<0.01). According to Majeed functional score, the outcome was excellent or good in 75% (9/12) for type I, 100% (7/7) for type II and 0% (0/1) for type III at the final follow-up, with the overall excellent rate of 80%. There were no complications such as lateral femoral cutaneous nerve or sciatic nerve injury, lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, sacroiliac joint pain, failure of internal fixation or loss of fracture reduction during the follow-up. Conclusions:The SJDISWF classification has high reliability. The classification-oriented treatment strategy has achieved a relatively satisfactory restoration and functional recovery, indicating that the classification plays a certain role in guiding treatment selection for SJDISWF.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of lateral-rectus approach and ilioinguinal approach in the treatment of Torode-Zieg type IV pelvic fracture in toddlers.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 12 toddlers with Torode-Zieg type IV pelvic fracture admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical College for Nationalities and Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University from June 2012 to June 2019. There were 6 males and 6 females, aged 13-36 months [(23.9±7.4)months]. Treatment via ilioinguinal approach was performed for 5 patients (ilioinguinal group), and via lateral-rectus approach for 7 patients (lateral-rectus group). Operation duration, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. At the last follow-up, pelvic function was evaluated by Majeed function score, and fracture reduction was evaluated according to Mears-Velyvis radiological evaluation criterion.Results:All patients were followed for 24-72 months [(46.0±18.5)months]. In ilioinguinal group and lateral-rectus group, the operation time was (295.0±95.3)minutes and (165.1±52.2)minutes, respectively ( P<0.05), and the intraoperative blood loss was (190.0±65.2)ml and (225.7±92.0)ml, respectively ( P>0.05). In ilioinguinal group, the development of bilateral iliac wings was asymmetric in 3 patients. In lateral-rectus group, fracture-dislocation of epiphyseal plate together with abnormal development of iliac wing occurred in 1 patient, but had no effects on the function of lower limbs. According to Majeed function score at the last follow-up, the pelvic function in ilioinguinal approach group was rated as excellent in 1 patient, good in 2, fair in 1 and poor in 1, with the excellent and good rate of 60%, while the pelvic function in lateral-rectus group was excellent in 4 patients, good in 1, fair in 2 and poor in none, with the excellent and good rate of 71% ( P>0.05). According to Mears-Velyvis radiological evaluation criterion at the last follow-up, the fracture reduction in ilioinguinal group was rated as satisfied in 3 patients and dissatisfied in 2 patients, with the satisfaction rate of 60%, while the fracture reduction in lateral-rectus group was satisfied in 7 patients and dissatisfied in none, with the satisfaction rate of 100% ( P>0.05). Conclusions:For Torode-Zieg type IV pelvic fracture in toddles, both surgical approaches can complete the reduction and fixation. However, the lateral-rectus approach has shorter operation time and less damage to the epiphyseal structure around the pelvis than the ilioinguinal approach.
