OBJECTIVE To investigate the application status of prescription pre-review systems in healthcare institutions of Yunnan province, evaluate their system functions and management capabilities, and provide a practical basis for promoting rational drug use. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted among public healthcare institutions at or above the secondary level in Yunnan province to investigate the deployment status of the systems. A capability maturity assessment framework was constructed, encompassing 6 dimensions and 39 indicators, including real-time prescription review, prescription correlation review, rule setting, evidence-based information support, prescription authority management, and system operation management. This framework was then used to evaluate the institutions that had implemented the pre-review systems. RESULTS A total of 100 valid questionnaires were collected, with 37 institutions having adopted prescription pre-review systems, mainly tertiary hospitals. The system predominantly adopted a modular architecture and was embedded into the hospital information system through application programming interfaces and middleware, providing certain capabilities for real-time prescription risk identification. Evaluation results indicated that basic functions such as reviewing indications, contraindications, and drug compatibility performed well, while deficiencies remained in functions related to parenteral nutrition prescription, review of drug dosage for specific diseases, individual patient characteristic recognition, and rule setting. Moreover, the construction of review centers and establishment of management systems were also not well-developed. CONCLUSIONS The overall application rate of prescription pre-review systems in Yunnan province remains low. System functions and management mechanisms require further improvement. It is recommended to enhance information infrastructure in lower-level institutions and explore regionally unified review models to promote standardized and intelligent development of prescription review practices.

Objective:To explore the advantages of robotic-arm assisted total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) in acetabular component positioning and lower limb length assessment in patients with severe pelvic coronal tilt.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 122 patients with unilateral end-stage hip disease and coronal pelvic tilt angle >3° who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) at the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023. Among them, 44 patients underwent rTHA, and 78 underwent manual THA (mTHA). The rTHA group included 18 males and 26 females, with an average age of 60.5±9.3 years; the mTHA group included 41 males and 37 females, with an average age of 58.5±8.4 years. Compare the differences in the anteversion angle, abduction angle, pelvic tilt angle, leg length discrepancy (LLD) of the acetabular prosthesis, and the proportions of patients with LLD>0.5 cm and >1 cm between the two groups of patients after surgery. Calculate the proportion of outlier rates of acetabular abduction angle (<30° or >45°), and proportions within Callanan's safe zone. The early efficacy of the hip joint was evaluated by using the modified Harris score and joint range of motion.Results:All patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months, with an average of 8 months. All the surgical incisions of the patients achieved primary healing. Postoperative comparisons showed no statistically significant differences in acetabular abduction angle (39.5°±3.3° vs. 38.4°±7.3°) or anteversion angle (20.7°±1.6° vs. 19.7°±1.6°) between rTHA and mTHA groups ( P>0.05). However, pelvic tilt angle [2.5° (1.1°, 3.6°) vs. 3.5° (2.3°, 5.9°)] showed a statistically significant difference ( U=4.371, P=0.008). The rTHA group exhibited smaller absolute LLD [0.2 (0.1, 0.4) cm vs. 0.5 (0.2, 0.5) cm] and lower proportions of LLD >0.5 cm [14% (6/44) vs. 49% (38/78)] and >1 cm [2% (1/44) vs. 18% (14/78)], with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The rTHA group had a lower outlier rate for acetabular abduction angle (<30°or >45°) compared to the mTHA group [2% (1/44) vs. 33% (26/78)], with statistical significance (χ 2=10.388, P<0.001). Taking the Callanan safety zone as the standard, the proportion of acetabular cups within the safe zone was significantly higher in the rTHA group (98%, 43/44) compared to the mTHA group (67%, 52/78), with a statistically significant difference (χ 2=13.998, P<0.001). The modified Harris score and hip joint range of motion in the mTHA group increased from 47.6±6.6 points and 83° (73°, 88°) before the operation to 83.5±11.2 points and 118° (110°, 122°) at the last follow-up, respectively. The rTHA group increased from 46.5±9.2 points and 79° (71°, 90°) before the operation to 85.0±12.5 points and 124° (116°, 130°) at the last follow-up. The differences in the modified Harris score and hip joint range of motion between the two groups before the operation and at the last follow-up were statistically significant ( P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). No THA-related complications occurred during follow-up period. Conclusion:For patients with end-stage hip joint diseases with coronal tilt exceeding 3°, robotic-assisted technology significantly improves the accuracy of acetabular component placement during THA and offers better control of postoperative LLD.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of digital reconstruction technology in virtual planning of the free perforator flap of anterior tibial artery (ATA) for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in foot and ankle.Methods:From May 2018 to April 2023, 10 patients, including 7 males and 3 females, with foot or ankle defects were admitted in the Department of Orthopaedics Surgery, 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force. There were 5 defects in dorsal foot, 3 in plantar foot and 2 in medial malleolus. The sizes of defects ranged from 3.0 cm×2.5 cm to 5.5 cm×4.0 cm, all with exposed bones or tendons. Preoperative CTA scans from aorta abdominalis to feet were performed, and 3D digital models of bones, arteries and skin were reconstructed with Mimics. The most suitable perforators were selected to design the perforator flaps of ATA with the software, then the digital virtual flaps were superimposed onto the surfaces of donor sites and marked under a translucent image by Sina. During the surgery, flaps were harvested according to preoperative digital designs with the size of 3.5 cm×3.0 cm-6.0 cm×4.0 cm. The perforating branches were dissected along the way, and the origin, diameter, course, location and length of the perforators were recorded. The perforating branches of the flaps were anastomosed to the proximal vessels in the recipient sites, and the flaps were sutured to cover the wound. For the 10 donor sites, skin graft was used in 2 donor sites and direct suture were performed on 8 donor sites. After discharge of the patients, scheduled outpatient or online follow-ups were carried out to assess the progress of fracture healing as well as the appearance, texture and colour of flaps, and the recovery of donor sites. Ankle function was evaluated by Maryland foot scoring system.Results:Three-dimensional digital reconstructions of donor sites were successfully performed on all patients, enabling successful design and harvest of the free perforator flaps of ATA. The flaps were able to be used in complete reconstruction of the respective defects and made the anatomical parameters of perforators of the donor sites closely matching with those of preoperative modeling. Follow-up periods ranged from 6 to 19 months, apart from 1 flap experienced partial necrosis at distal endge, and another flap with partial exfoliation after blistering. The rest of 8 flaps were all survived smoothly, with appropriate thickness, aesthetic appearance, good texture and colour. Sensations in both donor sites and dorsal feet were all normal. Seven patients achieved excellent and 3 were good according to Maryland's ankle-foot function score. The donor sites healed well without scar hyperplasia.Conclusion:Digital reconstruction technology enables an accurate identification of perforators as well as individualised design and harvest procedures for perforator flaps of ATA, thereby it facilitates precise reconstructions of small-to-medium-sized defects in foot or ankle. It is a good method for vascular anatomy and flap harvesting.
