Objective To explore the operation indication of fracture of rib with fracture internal-fixation.Methods The clinical data of 103 cases with Fracture of rib,treated by fracture internal-fixation(n =49)and conservative treatment (n =54) respectively,were retrospectively analyzed.Results The hospital stay time,VAS scores and the healing time of surgical group were lower than that of non-surgical group.Fracture internal-fixation could significantly reduce the incidence of lung infection,deformities of chest and delayed hemathorax.Conclusions Internal fixation of fracture is much better than other routine therapies for fracture of ribs.The patients with indication of operation should operate actively.

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and effect of complete thoacoscopes and laparoscopes combination operation for thoracoabdominal injuries.MethodsFrom March 2007 to March 2011,the clinical data of 36 patients (observation group) with thoracoabdominal injuries who were performed with complete thoracoscopes and laparoscopes combination operation were analyzed retrospectively,and compared with 36 patients (control group) treated with traditional standard operation in the same period.The intraoperative and postoperative situation was compared between two groups.ResultsAll the patients in observation group were successfully performed by complete endoscopic surgery.There were no operative mortality and complications related to operation,such as diaphragmatic hernia,delayed hemopneumothorax.The operative time of observation group was (98 ±38 ) min,operative blood loss was ( 120±45 ) ml,drainage flow within 24 h was(230 ±55) ml,drainage tube duration was(5 ±2) d,postoperative pain vasual analogue scale (VAS) score was (3.31±0.87) scores,hospitalization cost was ( 1 2.3±7.6) thousand yuan,postoperative recovery time of intestinal function was (2.29±1.02) d,hospital stay was ( 10±3 ) d.Those values of control group were respectively ( 135±31 ) min,(220±30) ml,(400±160) ml,(9±3) d,(6.82±1.67) scores,(23.4±8.5) thousand yuan,(5.46 ±2.31 ) d and ( 16±2) d.There were significant differences between two groups(P ＜0.05).The occurrence rate of cardiopulmonary complication of observation group [ 11.1％(4/36) ] and control group [ 13.9％(5/36) ] had no significant difference (P＞0.05).ConclusionsComplete thoracoscopes and laparoscopes combination operation for thoracoabdominal injuries is a safe and mini-invasive treatment with quicker recovery,less cost and morereliable effect.Therefore,it deserves further clinical application.

Objective To compare the diagnostic reliability of AO classification and Evans-Jensen classifications in X ray film and three-dimensional CT reconstruction images intertochanteric fractures, and explore advantage of the three-di?mensional CT. Methods A retrospective study was performed to evaluate 54 patients with intertochanteric fractures. Three orthopaedic surgeons were asked to make assessment of fracture classifications using X ray film and the three-dimen?sional CT images. Agreement test was performed to evaluate interobserver and intraobserver reliability for fracture classifica?tion. Results When X ray film was used, mean Kappa values of interobserver reliability for AO and Evans-Jensen classifi?cations between three surgeons were 0.597 and 0.571, that was medium consistency. While using three-dimensional CT to AO classification, lower Kappa value was 0.411, medium consistency. Evans-Jensen classification, Kappa value was 0.704, highly consistency. Each surgeon respectively using X ray film and three-dimensional CT, the mean Kappa values of AO and Evans-Jensen classification were 0.464, medium consistency and 0.191 (0.160-0.233), weak consistency. Conclusion Both classifications based on X ray film show moderate consistency, using three-dimensional CT does not improve the consis?tency of AO classification. The three-dimensional CT is not applicable in Evans-Jensen classification.
