Objective To introduce the application of 3D printing individualized plastic guide plate in the treatment of pelvic and acetabular fracture and to evaluate its application value.Methods From June 2016 to April 2017,the clinical data of eleven adult patients with pelvic and acetabular fracture was analyzed retrospectively.The pelvic CT scan was performed before operation to obtain the original data.Three-dimensional reconstruction performed by mimics 17.0 software with the data and the fracture reduction performed on the software.3D printing individualized plastic guide plate was designed and made to guide the pre-implantation plate bending and shaping.The pre implantation plate bending was completed according to the plastic guide.Postoperative Matta imaging score was used to evaluate fracture reduction,while the function of the hip joint was assessed by the Harris scores.Results All the operations were successfully completed.There were no adverse complications during or after the operation.Anatomical reduction was performed in 10 cases and functional reduction in 1 case.The excellent and good rate of Matta scores was 90.9%,excellent in 7 cases,good in 3 cases,fair in 1 case and no poor case.The excellent rate of Harris scores was 81.8%,excellent in 6 cases, good in 3 cases,fair in 2 cases and no poor case.Conclusion In the treatment of pelvic and acetabular fracture,the application of 3D printing individualized plastic guide plate may not only make mode simple and feasible and save time and materials,but also simplify the operation,reduce the difficulty of operation and hold satisfactory clinical effect.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of flexion-lateral curvature-supination reduction combined with primary anterior surgery for the treatment of lower cervical dislocation with unilateral facet inter-locking.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in the 32 patients who had been admitted to Department of Spine Surgery, Honghui Hospital for lower cervical dislocation with unilateral facet interlocking from November 2015 to October 2018. According to their treatments, they were divided into 2 groups. In the emergency group treated by flexion-lateral curvature-supination reduction combined with primary anterior surgery, there were 13 males and 3 females, aged from 24 to 63 years. In the traction group treated by cranial traction reduction combined with secondary anterior surgery, there were 12 males and 4 females, aged from 20 to 64 years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, bone graft fusion, American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score were compared between the 2 groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing they were comparable ( P<0.05). All patients were followed up from 26 to 40 months. The hospital stay for the emergency group [(7.2±1.2) d] was significantly shorter than that for the traction group[(10.9±1.2) d] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time, blood loss, ASIA grade or JOA score between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). All patients achieved osseous fusion of intervertebral space. Conclusion:Compared with traditional methods, flexion-lateral curvature-supination reduction combined with primay anterior surgery shows no significant difference in the recovery of neurological function but leads to a shorter hospital stay.
