Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Objective To carry out a dynamic simulation analysis on the surgical process of the surgical robot for pedicle screw placement so as to enhance the safety of the procedure.Methods Firstly,the process of pedicle screw placement were analyzed to determine the three typical force conditions during pedicle screw track drilling including no-load condition,bone layer switching condition and spine dynamic displacement condition.Secondly,a virtual protype model of the surgical robot for pedicle screw placement was constructed with the automated dynamic analysis of mechanical systems(ADAMS).Finally,the dynamic characteristics of the surgical robot were simulated and analyzed with considerations on the three typical force conditions.Results The driving torque of the robot joints was sensitive to the load applied to the end of the opener mechanism under a wide range of operating conditions.Conclusion The surgical robot meets the requirements for pedicle screw placment,and a new idea is provided for enhancing the accuracy of pedicle screw placement.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(8):32-37]
