Objective To analyze the risk factors related to intraoperative femur fracture in hip replacement and discuss the treatment countermeasures. Methods The medical records and radiographs of 38 patients with intraoperative femur fracture who were treated at Tianjin Orthopedic Hospital from December 2002 to December 2009 were retrospectively studied. Fractures were classified according to the Amstutz system or AAOS standard and the treatment methods were selected accordingly. Reduction and fixation was performed in 25 patients including 14 patients treated with interfragmentary or cerclage fixation, five with plate fixations and six with cortical strut graft. Shank prosthesis was replaced in 12 patients. Results The mean follow up period was 4.5 years, which showed successful union of the fractures in 36 patients and delayed union in two. Replacement of the prosthesis was needed in one patient for prosthesis loosening four years postoperatively. Conclusions Osteoporosis, violence, abnormal femur canal and over large prosthesis are the main causes of intraoperative femur fracture in hip replacement.Proper selection of treatment method according to fracture types may attain fracture union with a stable implant.

Objective To explore the reasonability of posterior approach incision length in an unselected patient cohort with minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty (THA) and compare the clinical results of different incision lengths. Methods A consecutive unselected 256 patients who underwent primary unilateral THA between March 2001 and December 2007 were studied prospectively. Prior to the operation, the incision length was not deliberately selected for the patients. A posterior approach was used for all procedures with minimally invasive surgical techniques. The patients were divided into three groups according to the incision length at the end of surgery: mini-incision group ( < 10 cm, 99 patients) , moderate incision group (10-14 cm, 112 patients) and standard incision group ( > 14 cm, 45 patients). The in-hospital data including age, sex, diagnosis,body mass index (BMI),operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, total blood loss, preservation of the external rotators, anatomic repair of the capsule as well as postoperative radiographs were collected for analysis of the intraoperative and postoperative complications. The pain was estimated by using the individual visual analog scale (VAS) and the functional outcome evaluated by Harris hip score preoperatively and postoperatively. Results All the patients were followed up for an average period of 6.1 years (2.5-9.2 years). The incision length was shortened and optimized ( < 14 cm) in 211 patients. There showed decrease of BMI, less intraoperative blood loss, less pain, satisfactory outcome but higher proportion of abnormal abduction angle of the acetabular prosthesis in the early postoperative period in the mini-incision group, with statistical difference compared with the other two groups (P < 0.05). The preservation of the piriformis tendon, anatomic repair of the joint capsule, operation duration and Harris score at 6th postoperative week in the moderate incision group were similar to those in the mini incision group but showed statistical difference in comparison with the standard incision group ( P <0. 05). Conclusions Minimally invasive THA with a smaller posterior incision can attain safe and effective curative effect for the unselected patient cohort. A smaller but not necessarily miniincision may allow minimal soft tissue trauma for the surgeon to perform the procedure well and ensure a long-term clinical results.

AIM:To observe the change of nitric oxide(NO)and hydrogen sulfide(H_2S)in blood and lung homogenate of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension(HPH)rat model,and to discuss the meaning of inhalation sodium nitrite and these factors in the treatment of HPH. METHODS:Fifty healthy male Wistar rats were assigned randomly into 5 groups(10 rats each):normoxia control group(NC),normoxia sodium nitrite group(NNI),hypoxic control group(HC),hypoxic normal saline group(HNS)and hypoxic sodium nitrite group(HNI). The mean pulmonary arterial pressure(mPAP),weight of right ventricle,weight of left ventricle plus septum,and the ratio of the weight of right ventricle to that of left ventricle plus septum(right ventricle hypertrophy index,RVHI)were also determined. The serum level of NO and plasma level of H_2S were measured,and at the same time the levels of NO in the lung homogenate were detected. The structures in pulmonary arteries were examined using optical microscope. RESULTS:After model established,compared to that in the normoxia groups,the body weight decreased significantly in hypoxia groups(P<0.05),although no difference of body weight in five groups before producing model was observed. Compared to that in normoxia groups,the levels of mPAP and RVHI increased significantly in hypoxia groups,and compared to that in hypoxia control groups and hypoxia normal saline group,mPAP and RVHI levels decreased significantly in hypoxia sodium nitrite group(P<0.05). Compared to that in normoxia groups,the serum level of NO decreased significantly in hypoxia groups(P<0.05). NO level in lung homogenate decreased significantly in hypoxia control group and hypoxia normal saline group as compared to that in normoxia groups(P<0.05),and no obvious difference between hypoxic sodium nitrite group and normoxia groups was found. The plasma level of H_2S was decreased significantly in hypoxia groups(P<0.05)as compared to that in normoxia groups. H_2S level increased significantly in hypoxia sodium nitrite group as compared to that in hypoxia control groups and hypoxia normal saline group(P<0.05). Observation under optical microscope,the lumen structure of lung in normoxia control group was normal. No significant change in normoxia sodium nitrite group was found. The proliferation of smooth muscle cells(SMCs),the collagen fiber deposition in the vessel wall and every caliber thickening was observed in hypoxic control group. The same changes were also observed in hypoxic normal saline group. The thickened caliber was relieved significantly in hypoxic nitrite group. CONCLUSION:Pulmonary hypertension and right ventricle reconstitution can be relieved by inhalation of sodium nitrite,and can be regulated by the level of NO and H_2S in rats. Above all,inhalation of sodium nitrite may degrade HPH directly or by affecting the externalization and synthesizing of gas signaling molecule indirectly.

ObjectiveTo study the indications and mid-term outcomes of periacetabular osteotomy on adult patients of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). MethodsTwenty-five adult patients with DDH underwent periacetabular osteotomies through modified Smith-Peterson approach. There were 19 females and 6 males with an average age of 25.5 years(range, 18-45). Every patient had a single dysplasia hip, including 14 hips in the left, and the other 11 in the right. Three cases were operated formerly, 2 of them received Chari osteotomy and 1 received Salter osteotomy. Before operation 13 hips were T(o)nnis Grade 0 osteoarthritis, 9 hips were Grade Ⅰ , 3 hips were Grade Ⅱ. The Shenton line of 18 hips was broken. The lateral center-edge angle was 4.57°±7.39°, the anterior center-edge angle was 0.95°±6.02°, the horizontal tilt angle was 32.50°±5.96°, the femoral head extrusion index was 38.11%±5.70%, the Harris hip score was 75.32±7.51 points. Changes of the indexes mentioned above were observed during the period of follow-up.ResultsAll patients were followed up for average 4.5 years(range, 2.0-7.5). Compared with the preoperative radiographic severity at the latest follow-up, 3 hips of T(o)nnis Grade Ⅰ improved to Grade 0, 2 hips of Grade Ⅱ improved to Grade Ⅰ, 1 hip of Grade Ⅰ changed into Grade Ⅱ. The incident of the break of Shenton line decreased to 10 hips. The lateral center-edge angle improved to 29.07°±5.81° the anterior centeredge angle improved to 29.52°±4.51°, the horizontal tilt angle decreased to 19.17°±4.95°, the femoral head extrusion index decreased to 24.20%±4.83%, the Harris hip score increased to 84.88±4.88 points. The major complication included 16 cases of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve palsy(7 cases of them didn't recover forever) and 1 case of ectopic ossification of Brooker Ⅰ . ConclusionPeriacetabular osteotomy through a modified Smith-Peterson approach were performed to the dysplasia hip of adults, it can increase congruence,improve hip function; it can also prevent subchondral sclerosis and cysts forming, preserve joint space and delay the occurrence of osteoarthritis.
