Objective To investigate the clinical experiment of arthroscopically assisted debridement and tibiotalar arthrodesis with half-ring sulcated external fixator for treatment of total ankle joints tuberculosis. Methods From January 2001 to April 2005, 6 patients (4 males and 2 females), with a mean age of 33 years old (range, 28 to 44 years old) and mean duration of 13 months, received arthroscopically assisted debridement and tibiotalar arthrodesis with half-ring sulcated external fixator. All patients had received at least 3 weeks standard drug treatment for tuberculosis before the operation. After thoroughly debridement under arthroscopy using anterolateral and anteromedial approaches, a half-ring sulcated external fixator was used to fix the ankle joint at the neutral position. 4 days (2-7 days) after the operation, patients could walk with partially weight bearing. All patients replied to our questionnaire and the average follow-up was 21.3 months, with a range of 6-42 months. Patients returned for a clinical and radiolographic evaluation every week before the tibiotalar joints union. The external fixator apparatus were removed after the joint fused. Results Fusion occurred in all patients, the average time to clinical and radiographic union was 12.5 weeks (9-17 weeks). 3 patients were graded as excellent: no pain with a stable fusion. The others were graded as good: mild pain, occasional limp with a stable fusion. There were no sinus or other complications occurred. Conclusion There are considerable advantages using arthroscopically assisted debridement and tibiotalar arthrodesis with half-ring sulcated external fixator for treatment of total ankle joints tuberculosis without serious bone defect, include: limited invasion, quickly recovery, thoroughly debriding the tuberculose focus. And the half-ring sulcated external compression fixator could achieve stable and elastic fixation with adjustable rigidity. And patients can walk earlier to promote ankle fusion and decrease related complications.

Objective To explore the risk factors of lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with traumatic fractures so as to provide references for prevention of DVT. Methods A total of 1 068 patients with traumatic fractures were involved in the study to analyze the incidence of DVT under 43 risk factors including general state, injury type, fracture condition and operation and screen significant factors for multiple factor analysis. Results The total incidence rate of DVT in 1 068 patients was 12.0%. The univariate analysis showed that male patients at age >60 years, with BMI≥25 kg/m2, history of smoking, lack of exercises, history of diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease had higher incidence rate of DVT. In different injury types, the fall injury caused the highest incidence rate of DVT (45.6%). There were different DVT rates for different fracture position,with the highest incidence rate of DVT for femur shaft fracture (20.5%). The incidence rate of DVT was 51.7% for fractures of more than three parts, 14.2% for fractures of two parts and only 3.7% for sole part. The incidence rate of DVT for comminuted fractures was higher than the overall rate. The operation duration, massive transfusion during operation and epidural anesthesia were related with the increase of incidence of DVT. Multivariate analysis found nine independent risk factors and showed that the more risk factors were, the higher incidence of DVT was. Conclusions The risk factors of DVT for traumatic fractures include age >60 years, BMI≥25 kg/m2, history of smoking, fall injury, more than three parts of fractures, comminuted fractures, operation duration > 2 hours, massive transfusion during operation and epidural anesthesia.

Objective To explore the case management model of return to work injured workers. Methods A retrospective cohort wasformed with 523 injured workers in rehabilitation centre. The social demographic information, medical data and intervention process wereextracted from the medical records. A Cox Regression Model was used to examine the effect of case management on work processes and otherrelevant factors affecting RTW. Results 275 cases (82.1%) out of the 335 subjects successfully returned to work after median absence durationof 36.0 days. Computer training prompted RTW outcomes (P<0.01), while disability adjustment activity showed an opposite effect(P<0.05). It showed that education level, family attitude to RTW and level of injury were significantly associated with outcomes of RTW.Conclusion Specific skills reconstruction and training would is one of the most important components of the case management interventionprogram on RTW. Although disability adjustment did not specifically benefit RTW, it might help in improving workers' general health status,and it should not be ignored in any case.
