With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Objective To evaluate the application value of stereotactic robotic surgery driven by a multi scenario AI system in the elderly with severe hypoperfusion in the internal capsule area and minor HTH.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 101 minor HTH patients com-plicated with severe hypoperfusion in the internal capsule area identified by an AI diagnostic sys-tem in our department from January to October 2024.Among them,48 cases who underwent ster-eotactic robotic drainage with AI system support were assigned into the study group,and 53 cases of conventional drug treatment were into the control group.The general clinical data were com-pared between the two group.Improvement rate of rCBF 14 d after treatment,effective rate 90 d after treatment,favorable prognosis rate,and incidence of shunt dependent hydrocephalus were compared between the two groups to evaluate the application value of AI-assisted stereotactic ro-botic surgery in these patients.Results The study group had significantly higher improvement rate of rCBF 14 d after treatment,better effective rate and larger ratio of favorable prognosis 90 d after treatment when compared with the control group(60.4％vs 39.6％,P＜0.05;62.5％vs 41.5％,P＜0.05;64.6％vs 43.4％,P＜0.05).Conclusion Stereotactic robotic assisted drainage driven by multi scenario AI system can significantly improve the prognosis of the elderly minor HTH patients complicated with severe hypoperfusion in the internal capsule area.

Objective:To evaluate the application value of artificial intelligence (AI) and robot of stereotactic surgery (ROSS)-assisted ultra-early thalamic hematoma drainage in elderly patients with minor thalamus and internal capsule hematoma (TICH) and severe hypoperfusion in the internal capsule area.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed; 278 patients with TICH and severe hypoperfusion in the internal capsule area identified by AI medical imaging diagnostic system were enrolled from Department of Neurosurgery, Xingtai Central Hospital from January 2023 to August 2024. Among them, 134 patients (study group) received AI and ROSS-assisted ultra-early thalamic hematoma drainage, and 144 patients (control group) received drug treatment. Differences in baseline data and therapy efficiency between the two groups of patients were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent influencing factors for prognosis in the study group 180 days after onset (good prognosis: modified Rankin scale scores of 0-3).Results:Compared with the control group, the study group had significantly higher Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in the internal capsule area 14 days after onset, and statistically higher therapy efficiency and good prognosis rate 180 days after onset ( P<0.05). In the study group, 84 patients had a good prognosis and 50 had a poor prognosis 180 days after onset; compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had significantly higher proportion of patients with hyper-homocysteinemia history, lower GCS score on admission, larger volume of thalamic hematoma, higher proportions of patients with combined intraventricular hemorrhage and shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, and lower rCBF in the internal capsule area on admission ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that thalamic hematoma volume ( OR=2.527, 95% CI: 1.504-4.247, P<0.001), combined intraventricular hemorrhage ( OR=2.325, 95% CI: 1.460-3.703, P<0.001), shunt dependent hydrocephalus ( OR=2.371, 95% CI: 1.267-4.078, P=0.006), and rCBF in the internal capsule area on admission ( OR=0.672, 95% CI: 0.314-1.025, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for prognosis of patients in the study group. Conclusion:AI and ROSS-assisted ultra-early thalamic hematoma drainage is effective for elderly patients with minor TICH and severe hypoperfusion in the internal capsule area; patients with large thalamic hematoma volume, combined intraventricular hemorrhage, shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, and low rCBF in the internal capsule area on admission are prone to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To explore the optimal warning threshold of motor evoked potentials(MEP)in decompression surgery for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament(OPLL)at cervical and thoracic segments,and the predictive role of different MEP parameters on postoperative lower extremity motor function.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 227 patients diagnosed with cervical or thoracic OPLL and underwent decompression surgery from January 2022 to January 2024 in the hospital.There were 131 males and 96 females,with an average age of(60±10)years.All patients underwent continuous neuro-physiological monitoring during the operation,and the minimum ratio of MEP amplitude change to the baseline at the beginning of the operation(Dmax)and the ratio of MEP terminal amplitude change to the baseline at the end of the operation(Dend)were recorded.The correlations between these two ratios and the lower extremity motor func-tion immediately after the operation and at 1 year were compared.According to the Medical Research Council muscle strength score(MRC)standard,a postoperative score increase of≥1 point compared to preoperative was defined as postoperative motor dysfunction.Pearson correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the correlations between Dmax and Dend and the lower extremity motor function immediately after the operation and at 1 year.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn to predict postoperative lower extremity motor dysfunc-tion using Dmax and Dend.Results Among the 227 patients,186 had cervical OPLL and 41 had thoracic OPLL.The incidence of lower extremity motor dysfunction immediately after the operation and at 1 year was 7 cases(3.76%)and 2 cases(1.08%)in the cervical group,and 9 cases(21.95%)and 3 cases(7.32%)in the thoracic group,respectively.The incidence of lower extremity motor dysfunction in the thoracic group was higher than that in the cervical group(P<0.001).The baseline induction rate of bilateral lower extremity MEPs was 98.92%(368/372)in the cervical group and 96.34%(79/82)in the thoracic group.The Pearson correlation coefficients of Dend with the bilateral lower extremity motor function immediately after the operation in the cervical and thoracic groups were both greater than those of Dmax,and the differences were statistically significant(cervical group:r=0.669,0.517,P=0.001 2;thoracic group:r=0.882,0.727,P=0.003 6),while the differences in the Pearson corre-lation coefficients of Dend and Dmax with the bilateral lower extremity motor function at 1 year were not statistically significant(cervical group:r=0.457,0.352,P=0.088;thoracic group:r=0.760,0.625,P=0.098).The cut-off values of Dend for the cervical group were 0.853 immediately after the operation and at 1 year,and the cut-off values of Dmax were 0.881 and 0.978,respectively.For the thoracic group,the cut-off values of Dend were 0.532 immediately after the operation and 0.639 at 1 year,and the cut-off values of Dmax were 0.532 and 0.640,respec-tively.Conclusions In OPLL surgery,the MEP monitoring strategy should be adjusted according to the surgical segment.For the cervical segment,Dmax should be emphasized to balance high sensitivity and specificity,while for the thoracic segment,Dmax or Dend can be flexibly selected.Higher MEP warning thresholds are required for cervical OPLL surgery(Dmax:0.881 immediately after the operation and 0.978 at 1 year;Dend:0.853),while significantly lower thresholds are needed for thoracic OPLL(Dmax/Dend:0.532 immediately after the operation and 0.640 at 1 year).

Objective To investigate the imaging features of intestinal schwannoma(IS)in order to improve the diagnostic ability of the disease.Methods The clinical and imaging data of 14 patients with surgically and pathologically confirmed IS were retrospectively analyzed,including the location,size,morphology,nature,growth pattern,CT density,MRI signal,PET/CT metabolism and other characteristics of the tumors.Results Of the 14 IS cases,the lesions of 3 cases were located in the duodenum,2 cases in the cecum,8 cases in the colon and 1 case in the rectum.The lesions were all round or oval,with an average maximum diameter of(2.4±1.1)cm.The lesions were solid in 13 cases,extraluminal growth in 10 cases,cystic degeneration in 1 case and myxoid degeneration in 1 case.Chronic inflammatory lymph nodes were seen around the diseased intestines in 9 cases,and the short diameter of lymph nodes was greater than 5 mm in 6 cases.All 14 cases of IS showed low attenuation on plain CT scan,and progressive enhancement after contrast injection,including 1 case of mild enhancement,2 cases of moderate enhancement,and 11 cases of obvious enhancement.Two cases of IS showed low signal intensity on T1WI,slightly high signal intensity on T2WI,significantly high signal intensity on DWI,and obvious progressive enhancement after contrast injection on MRI.Two cases of IS showed high metabolism on 18F-FDG-PET/CT,and the SUVmax was 9.4 and 8.8,respectively.Conclusion The imaging findings of IS were characteristic to a certain extent.They mainly manifested as solid nodules or masses derived from the intestinal submucosa,with uniform attenuation or signal intensity,obvious progressive enhancement after contrast injection,obvious hypermetabolism on 18F-FDG-PET/CT,and slightly larger homogeneous lymph nodes were common around the lesions.

Objective To explore the risk factors and awareness level of deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in elderly outpatients in Shanghai community hospitals.Methods A total of 710 elderly outpatients were subjected with random sampling from 10 community hospitals in Shanghai.Au-tar deep vein thrombosis risk assessment scale and venous thromboembolism(VTE)self-manage-ment ability related knowledge scale were used to conduct questionnaire investigation.The influ-encing factors for risk level of DVT and for VTE self-management ability score were analyzed in these patients.Results The high-risk DVT group had significantly larger proportions of aged 65 years,primary school education or below,chronic diseases,BMI≥28 kg/m2,and suburban resi-dents than the low-risk DVT patients(88.0％vs 50.9％,65.5％vs 26.5％,94.8％vs 86.2％,12.9％vs 5.2％,58.2％vs 43.9％,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age,education level,chronic disease,multimorbidity,BMI and residential area were independent risk factors for risk level of DVT in the elderly outpatients in community hospitals(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Hypertension,cerebral infarction,cerebral hemorrhage and malignant tumors were inde-pendent risk diseases of DVT in the patients with multimorbidity(P＜0.01).Age,education lev-el,chronic diseases,BMI,smoking,residential area and other factors were related to the score of VTE self-management(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion General practitioners should pay close attention to the elderly outpatients in community hospitals,with characteristics of advanced age,obesity,lower education level,chronic disease,multimorbidity and living in suburban area,espe-cially those with multiple diseases.What's more,awareness of risk for DVT and self-management ability should be improved simultaneously.
