Objective To evaluate the value of computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) in diagnosis of avascular necrosis of the femoral head(ANFH). Methods The literatures of ANFH diagnosed with CT and MR imaging published in the last ten years were collected by searching. Of that,21 literatures were correspond for the standards in this study and were select-ed. These literatures in diagnosing ANFH with CT and MR imaging were analysed with Meta-analysis by the sofeware of StataSE10.1. Results MRI was more effective than CT in diagnosing ANFH. There was significantly different in statistics between them [OR=0.13,95%CI(0.03~0.51)]. Conclusion In comparison with CT,MRI is the better method in diagnosing ANFH.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes between OTA/AO-C open and closed fractures of the distal humerus treated by open reduction and internal fixation.Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed of the 70 patients who had been treated at Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital for OTA/AO-C fractures of the distal humerus from January 2014 to June 2017. Of them, 22 suffered from open fractures (Gustilo types Ⅰ/Ⅱ) and 48 closed fractures. There were 18 males and 4 females with an age of (42.6±13.0) years in the open group and 21 males and 27 females with an age of (42.2±17.1) years in the closed group. Analyzed were interval from injury to surgery, hospitalization time, injury energy and functional outcomes which included range of motion (ROM) in elbow flexion and extension, ROM in elbow rotation, Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), complications and rate of secondary surgery.Results:There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in age, injury energy or interval from injury to surgery ( P>0.05), but there were significantly more males in the open group than in the closed group ( P=0.011). The follow-up time for all the patients averaged 34.0 months (from 25 to 54 months). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in hospitalization time [9.5(6.0, 13.0) d versus 8.5 (6.0, 11.0) d], ROM in flexion and extension [120.0° (100.0°, 137.8°) versus 128.5° (110.0°, 140.0°)], ROM in rotation [155.0° (151.3°, 155.0°) versus 155.0° (155.0°, 155.0°)], MEPS [95.0 (80.0, 100.0) versus 95.0 (80.0, 100.0)] or DASH [2.6 (0.63, 9.2) versus 1.7 (0.0, 8.5)] ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups either in rate of secondary surgery [36.4% (8/22) versus 33.3% (16/48)], ulnar nerve symptoms [54.5% (12/22) versus 60.4% (29/48)], local irritability in the region of internal fixation [9.1% (2/22) versus 6.3% (3/48)] or elbow stiffness [13.6% (3/22) versus 10.4% (5/48)] ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Open reduction and internal fixation can lead to similar clinical outcomes in the treatment of both open (Gustilo types Ⅰ/Ⅱ) and closed distal humeral fractures of OTA/AO-C, with no significant differences in postoperative ROM, functional scores or complications.

bjective? To explore the effects of animation demonstration combined with health education on the knowledge-attitude-practice and psychological status of parents of neonates with hyperbilirubinemia. Methods? Totally 136 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia and their parents admitted from February 2017 to February 2018 in Affiliated Hospital of Ji'ning Medical University were selected for the study and were divided into the observation group and control group according to the random number table method, with 68 cases in each group. The control group was given routine health education, and observation group was given animation demonstration combined with health education. The parents knowledge-attitude-practice level of jaundice prevention and treatment,compliance degree, Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) score were compared between the two groups. Results? After intervention,the parents knowledge-attitude-practice level of jaundice prevention and treatment significantly increased in the two groups,and the observation group increased more than the control group with statistical difference (P< 0.05). After intervention, the parents compliance level in the observation group was higher than the control group with statistical difference (P< 0.05); SAS score of the observation group declined more than the control group with statistical difference (P< 0.05). Conclusions? Animation demonstration combined with health education can effectively improve the knowledge-attitude-practice level and execution compliance of parents of neonates with jaundice,and improve the psychological status of the parents.

Objective:
To explore the risk factors for elbow stiffness after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus.
Methods:
From January 2013 to May 2017, 159 patients underwent ORIF for intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus with dual plating. They were 83 males and 76 females with a mean age of 42.6 years (from 14 to 79 years). They were divided into 2 groups according to their range of motion at the latest follow-up and the secondary elbow arthrolysis they had undergone or not. The stiffness group had extension-flexion and/or pronation-supination <100° and secondary elbow arthrolysis while the non-stiffness group had extension-flexion and pronation-supination ≥100° and no secondary elbow arthrolysis. Age, gender, fracture side, mechanism of injury, AO fracture classification, open/close fracture, additional fracture, preoperative nerve injury, time from injury to surgery, surgical approach, configuration of plating, medication for anti-heterotopic ossification and implant removal were analyzed as risk factors for elbow stiffness using Logistic regression analysis.
Results:
The mean follow-up period for this cohort was 32.0 months (from 10 to 63 months). The latest follow-up showed fracture union in all the patients. The stiffness group had 38 patients and the non-stiffness group 121. Multivariate regression analysis showed that high energy trauma (

Objective:
To investigate expert opinions on the recommendations in Expert Consensus on Optimized Treatments of Ankle Fracture in Light of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery and Expert Consensus on Optimized Treatments of Distal Radius Fracture in Light of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery so as to provide a reference for orthopaedic surgeons when they refer to the 2 documents.
Methods:
At the symposium in November 2018, all members of Orthopaedic Trauma Committee of Bethune Public Welfare Foundation were interviewed through questionnaires. The questionnaires involved 30 recommendations from the 2 documents concerning optimized perioperative managements. The rates of recommendation and strong recommendation by these experts were calculated about the 30 recommendations from the 2 above documents.
Results:
A total of 68 experts from the 89 members of Orthopaedic Trauma Committee of Bethune Public Welfare Foundation finished the questionnaires. Of the 30 recommendations, 26 obtained recommendation from these experts at a rate of above 95%, and 4 recommendation from these experts at a rate from 80% to 90%. The rates of strong recommendation were not high, ranging from 60% to 80% in 26 recommendations and <60% in 4.
Conclusions
The recommendations from the above 2 documents have been highly agreed upon by these experts we investigated but obtained a relatively low rate of strong recommendation. The present investigation may serve as a significant complement for recommendations from the 2 documents of expert consensus and a necessary reference for orthopaedic surgeons.
