Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of wrist arthroscopy assisted closed reduction with external fixation in the treatment of intra-articular comminuted fractures of the distal radius(type C3).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 98 patients with type C3 intra-articular comminuted fractures of the distal radius admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to February 2023.Among them,48 patients underwent wrist arthroscopy assisted closed reduction with external fixation with a bracket(arthroscopy group),and another 50 patients underwent open reduction with steel plate internal fixation surgery(control group).The two groups were compared in terms of operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume,incision length,fracture union time,range of motion(ROM)of joint,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),and Gartland-Werley wrist scores,as well as radiographic parameters(palmar tilt,ulnar inclination,and radial height)evaluated at various follow-up intervals.Results The arthroscopy group had an operation time of(55.3±10.5)min,which was significantly shorter than that in the control group[(83.4±14.6)min;t=-10.979,P=0.000].The intraoperative bleeding volume in the arthroscopy group was(42.3±8.6)ml,which was less than that in the control group[(71.4±10.5)ml;t=-14.953,P=0.000].The incision length of the arthroscopy group was(1.3±0.3)cm,which was shorter than that of the control group[(5.1±1.5)cm;t=-18.550,P=0.000].The arthroscopy group had a fracture healing time of(10.7±1.4)weeks,which was shorter than that in the control group[(12.2±1.6)weeks;t=-4.855,P=0.000].The palmar flexion ROM in the arthroscopy group was 68.8°±8.3°,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(61.5°±9.4°;t=4.002,P=0.000).The dorsiflexion ROM in the arthroscopy group was 63.9°±7.5°,which was significantly higher than that in the comtrol group(59.2°±8.3°;t=2.931,P=0.004).The pronation ROM in the arthroscopy group was 67.4°±10.3°,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(62.1°±9.9°;t=2.604,P=0.011).The supination ROM in the arthroscopy group was 70.5°±7.4°,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(64.4°±8.6°;t=3.777,P=0.000).The VAS score of the arthroscopy group was(1.3±0.6)points,which was significantly lower than that in the control group[(1.7±0.5)points;t=-3.941,P=0.000].After 6 months,the Gartland-Werley wrist scores of the arthroscopy group was significantly higher than that of the control group(Z=-2.614,P=0.009).The wrist joint imaging showed significantly higher radial height,palmar inclination angle,and ulnar deviation angle in the arthroscopy group than the control group(all P=0.000),while there were no significant differences in palmar inclination angle and ulnar deviation angle at different time points within each group(P＞0.05).Except for significant differences in radial height at 3 d,1 month,and 6 months after surgery(P=0.015,P=0.035),there were no significant differences between any other time points(P＞0.05).The interaction between time and group was not significant for palm inclination angle,ulnar deviation angle,and radial height(P＞0.05).Conclusion Wrist arthroscopy assisted closed reduction with external fixation for intra-articular comminuted fractures of distal radius has advantages of short operation time,less intraoperative blood loss,and good recovery of wrist joint functions.

Objective:To investigate the pathogenesis and clinical efficacy of arthroscopic treatment for hallux ganglion cyst deriving from ankle joint.Methods:The clinical data of 21 patients with ankle arthroscopic in the Department of Hand and Foot Surgery,Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from January 2019 to March 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 15 male cases and 6 female cases,aged (52.6±8.2) years (range:42 to 70 years).There were 9 cases of primary operation and 12 cases of recurrence after operation in other hospital.All the patients were examined by ankle arthrography and MRI before operation.The synovial membrane of the ankle was debrided and the tendon sheath of flexor longus was removed at the ankle canal.One year after operation,MRI was performed,and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS) score of forefoot function and visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after operation were compared by the paired t test or Mann-Whitney U test.The postoperative complications and recurrence were recorded. Results:All patients were operated successfully.The joint capsule at the back of the ankle joint of the patients were ruptured and communicated with the tendon sheath of the flexor longus tendon at the ankle canal.No wound infection,vascular and nerve injury occurred.The follow-up period was (15.0±2.2) months (range:12 to 18 months).During the follow-up period,there was no recurrence of toe appearance and MRI.At the last follow-up,the AOFAS score (90.8±4.3) was significantly higher than that before operation (72.8±6.3) ( t=-10.810, P<0.01),and the VAS score( M(IQR)) was significantly lower than that before operation,the difference was significant (1.0(1.0) vs. 3.0(0.5), Z=-4.081, P<0.01). Conclusions:The possible mechanism of hallux ganglion cyst deriving from ankle joint is that the joint capsule at the back of the ankle joint ruptures and communicates with the tendon sheath of the flexor longus tendon at the ankle canal,and the intra-articular synovial fluid through the cylinder effect generated by sliding with the flexor tendon of the flexor longus tendon in the tendon sheath sac leads to the heel valange cyst.Ankle-synovial cleansing of the ankle joint under ankle arthroscopy and resection of the flexor tendon sheath of the flexor longus tendon at the ankle canal are effective and less invasive.

BACKGROUND:Autologous bone-skin flap transplantation is the best method for the repair of composite tissue defect, but the repair ability is limited, with big trauma, new tissue defect and a certain dysfunction. Al ogeneic bone has the osteoinductive capacity, which can be used to prepare the bone-skin flap. OBJECTIVE:To research the pathological change of the al ogenic bone during the prefabrication of bone-skin flap with al ogeneic bone implant. METHODS:The experimental animals were Bama miniature pigs. Deep-frozen al ogenic bone was implanted in iliac artery-supported tissue flap compartment of miniature pigs. After operation, the local reactions were observed, the al ogenic bone were studied by general observation and histological analysis at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after implantation respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Obvious inflammation reaction was not observed in the surgical zone. The al ogeneic bone was vascularized at 4 weeks after implanted into the flap tissue without obvious osteoblast-like cells. The vascularization, bone resorption and uneven distributed osteoblast-like cells and osteoclast-like cells were observed at 8 weeks after implantation, and new bone formation was observed. At 12 weeks after implantation, new bone formation and bone absorption was strengthened, and the morphology of the bone graft was changed. At 16 weeks after implantation, al ogenic bone turned into fragments and absorbed, and no new bone formation was observed. The results indicated that during the prefabrication of bone-skin flap with al ogeneic bone implantation, the pathological changes of the al ogeneic bone was observed with time prolonging, and the bone-skin flap should be transplanted in time.
