Objective:To discuss the effects and limitation of neuronavigation system in neurosurgical operations.Methods:58 cases surgically treated with Stealth Station 4.1 Neuronavigation System were analysed,including 52 cases of intracranial tumor,4 cases of cerebral vascular malformations and 2 cases of intracerebral abscess. The locations of lesion included superficial part of hemisphere (24 cases),deep part of hemisphere (21 cases),skull base (8 cases),cerebellum (2 cases) and brain stem (3 cases).Results:Among 58 cases,total removal of the lesion was performed on 45 cases,comprising 77.6%,subtotal removal on 5,comprising 8.6%,most removal on 2%,comprising 3.4% and partial removal on 6%, comprising 10.3%.Postoperative neurological functions were improved or remained unchanged in 52 cases while they were worsened in 5 cases,and 1 patient died.Conclusion:Neuronavigation system is safe and helpful for improving accuracy of neurosurgical operations and increasing total removal of lesions,and it can be used widely in neurosurgery. However,it can't avoid intraoperative brain shift.The effects of navigation system in different neurosurgical operations are evaluated.

OBJECTIVETo study the synergistic effects of electroacupuncture on the treatment of knee osteoarthritis after arthroscopic debridement.

METHODSFrom May 2008 to July 2010, 78 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into two groups. There were 42 patients in the experimental group, including 16 males and 26 females, ranging in age from 41 to 63 years, with an average of (53.62 +/- 6.53) years; the disease course ranged from 8 to 24 months, with an average of (10.35 +/- 6.42) months. The patients were treated with arthroscopic debridement combined with electroacupuncture after operation. There were 36 patients in the control group, including 14 males and 22 females, ranging in age from 40 to 62 years, with an average of (54.34 +/- 7.67) years; the disease course ranged from 6 to 25 months, with an average of (11.94 +/- 5.13) months. Those patients were treated only with arthroscopic debridment. All the patients performed isometric quadriceps femoris contraction exercise and knee flexion and extension activities after operation. The visual analog scale(VAS) score and Lysholm knee score were used to evaluate the therapeutic effects.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 12 to 30 months, with an average of 15.6 months. At the final follow-up, VAS score was significantly decreased, and the Lysholm score, except for the item demanding for support, significantly increased, compared with those before surgery respectively in both groups. There was significant difference in VAS score between two groups after treatment. As to Lysholm score, there were significant differences in limp, pain, swelling, stair activity and squat, but there were no significant differences in items of interlocking and instability between two groups after treatment.

CONCLUSIONElectroacupuncture can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and knee joint's motor function of knee joints in patients with knee osteoarthritis, as well as the synergistic effects on the treatment of knee osteoarthritis after arthroscopic debridement, leading to a much better long-term therapeutic effect with respect of improving the function of knee joint. This therapy, combined with traditional Chinese medicine and Western Medicine,is worth of clinical application in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

OBJECTIVETo retrospectively analyze therapy comparison between hinged external fixator combining with internal fixation, soft tissue repair and plaster fixation after routine surgery for terrible triad of the elbow.

METHODSFrom January 2003 to June 2011,26 patients with terrible triad of the elbow (posterior dislocation associated with fracture of both the radial head and the ulnar coronoid process) were treated respectively by unilateral hinged external fixator and plaster fixation. Fourteen patients were treated with external fixator combining with internal fixation, soft tissue repair and reconstruction, including 8 males and 6 females,ranging in age from 20 to 62 years with an average of (33.60 +/- 8.53) years. The mean time of fixation was 7.5 weeks (ranged, 6 to 8 weeks), and forearm rotation exercise was performed after the first day of operation, elbow flexion and extension activities after 4 to 6 days. Twelve patients were treated with plaster external fixation combining with open reduction and internal fixation,including 8 males and 4 females,ranging in age from 21 to 63 years with an average of (34.80 +/- 7.41) years. The mean time of plaster fixation was 30.4 days, and functional exercise was carried out after 4 to 6 weeks of plaster removal. JOA assessment score were used to evaluate the elbow joint function.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 12 to 36 months,with an average of 18.6 months. The mean time of fracture healing was (8.6 +/- 3.1) weeks in plaster group and (9.0 +/- 2.7) weeks in fixator group, with no statistical difference between the two groups (t =1.47, P > 0.05). The function and are of motion in plaster group and fixator group showed significant difference. While the pain, articular instability and deformity showed no statistical difference. The total assessment score between two groups indicated markedly difference (t = -2.66, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONHinged external fixator can enhance lateral stability of elbows,benefit the reduction of fracture dislocation, guarantee early and safe functional exercise, prevent elbow stiffness, and reduce heterotopic ossification. In treating terrible triad of the elbow, the hinged external fixator is superior to other therapies with respect of improving the function of elbow joint.
