Objective:To analyze the effects of citric acid anticoagulation on coagulation function and inflammatory factors in patients with sepsis and high-risk bleeding treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods:A total of 80 patients with sepsis with high-risk bleeding who received CRRT treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from February 2018 to August 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study objects, 40 cases were treated with low molecular weight heparin (control group) and 40 cases were treated with citric acid (observation group).Both groups were treated continuously, and the anticoagulant effect, coagulation function, electrolyte and inflammatory factor levels of the two groups were compared 7 d after medication.Results:The total effective rate of anticoagulation in the observation group after treatment was higher than that in the control group: 97.50% (39/40) vs. 75.00% (30/40), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 8.54, P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of activated partial thrombin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and prothrombin time (PT) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (31.08 ± 8.31) s vs. (41.76 ± 8.36) s, (23.41 ± 5.02) s vs. (29.05 ± 5.13) s, (15.47 ± 3.50) s vs. (19.96 ± 4.75) s, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in the levels of potassium, chloride, sodium and calcium between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group :(2.60 ± 0.86) mg/L vs. (4.35 ± 1.12) mg/L, (0.11 ± 0.03) μg/L vs. (0.19 ± 0.05) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of citric acid anticoagulant in patients with sepsis and high-risk bleeding treated with CRRT can achieve significant curative effect, which can not only improve the anticoagulant effect, stabilize coagulation function and electrolyte level, but also down-regulate the level of inflammatory factors.

Total hip arthroplasty(THA)is an effective treatment for elderly femoral neck fractures,mid-to late-stage femoral head necrosis,and end-stage hip osteoarthritis.However,serious complications such as aseptic loosening of the prosthesis,peripheral fractures,and dislocation of the prosthesis still exist following THA,which makes the selection of the appropriate hip prosthesis type and placement position before THA an important challenge for surgeons.Currently,the commonly used preoperative planning methods for THA mainly rely on static images from two-dimensional(2D)X-ray or three-dimensional(3D)computed tomography(CT),which fail to adequately consider the hip joint in weight-bearing as well as motion,lumbar-hip joint changes,and prosthetic impingement during motion.Recently,the dual fluoroscopic imaging system,as a new in-vivo,dynamic radiological imaging technology,provides comprehensive and accurate dynamic 3D data for THA preoperative planning.However,the technical process and expert consensus on preoperative 3D planning of THA using a dual fluoroscopic imaging system have not yet been established,which affects the promotion and application of this technology.In light of the above,national orthopaedic experts and related professional representatives discussed and proposed seven consensus issues,and the'expert recommendation rate'and'strong recommendation rate'were obtained through a questionnaire survey on the recommendations of the participating experts.This consensus aims to provide guidance and reference for the standardised application of preoperative 3D planning of THA using the dual fluoroscopic imaging system.

With the increasing prevalence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is a corresponding rise in the number of patients requiring revision of total knee arthroplasty (R-TKA) for various reasons. R-TKA presents several complex challenges, with severe bone defect reconstruction being a critical obstacle to securing favorable long-term outcomes. Recently, the approach to managing bone defects has seen significant advancements, with a range of techniques proposed contingent on the defect's size and location. Severe bone defects require reconstruction with autologous or allogeneic bone grafts or metal fillers. However, bone grafts have their usage constrained by limited availability, risks of resorption and collapse, and the potential for disease transmission. Consequently, metal fillers have received widespread attention in practical applications due to their advantages, such as comprehensive source, customizability, and safety. The advantages of metal augment are that they provide immediate support without reinforcement and are not subject to necrosis and resorptive collapse. However, the difference in elastic modulus between metal and bone may lead to stress shielding and increase the risk of potential bone loss. Both Cone and Sleeve can achieve biological fixation of metaphyseal bone; however, in cases of periprosthetic infections, it is generally difficult to remove them easily due to the prosthetic bone in-growth and osseointegration. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the use of metal fillers to reconstruct bone defects during R-TKA. It is intended to aid orthopedic surgeons in understanding the spectrum of reconstructive possibilities and provide high-performance revision strategies for their patients.

Objective:To summarize the evidence of cold therapy for patients after knee joint replacement, so as to provide theoretical support for the practical implementation of cold therapy in patients after knee joint replacement in clinical practice.Methods:The literature on cold therapy for patients after knee joint replacement was systematically searched in relevant databases and websites at home and abroad. The search period was from database establishment to September 2022. The evaluation of literature quality and evidence extraction were independently completed by two researchers.Results:A total of 17 articles were included, including two clinical practice guidelines, five systematic reviews, six randomized controlled trials, and four expert consensuses. After independent evaluation and evidence extraction by two researchers, a total of 19 pieces of evidence were collected from 5 aspects: evaluation and education, observation of cold therapy, cold therapy tools, cold therapy parameters, and cold therapy effects. Among them, 8 pieces of A-level recommended evidence and 11 pieces of B-level recommended evidence.Conclusions:Cold therapy for patients after knee joint replacement is widely accepted and applied. Medical and nursing personnel should prioritize patient safety and formulate scientific cold therapy plans based on various factors such as individual differences, patient preferences, actual clinical scenarios, differences in medical equipment, medical and nursing personnel technical level, and cost-effectiveness, in order to maximize patient benefits.

  Objective  To understand the current status of surgical treatment for hemophilia osteoarthropathy (HO) in China.  Methods  Using an online questionnaire, select domestic hospitals that partici-pated in the compilation of the 'Guideline for perioperative management of hemophilia patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery in China ', in addition to members of the National Joint Surgery Group, and the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Association for targeted investigation and analysis.  Results  A total of 17 domestic hospitals were included, all of which were general hospitals. Hospitals that started HO surgery treatment before 2000 accounted for 35.29%. A total of 3057 surgical cases of HO were reported by those hospitals. The most commonly performed surgical procedures were hip and knee joint replacement. The most commonly used coagulation factor replacement regimen was recombinant coagulation factor preparation. Ten hospitals reported finding patients with transfusion-related infectious diseases. Bleeding and hematoma formation were the most frequently reported surgical complications. Excessive length of hospital stay and high economic costs were the most frequently reported problems.  Conclusions  Surgical treatment for HO in 17 hospitals is mainly carried out in some large comprehensive medical centers in the eastern region. Compared with the patient base, the popularity and number of surgeries are still relatively insufficient. It is necessary to further standardize the treatment system by standardizing factor replacement and strengthening rehabilitation to improve surgical treatment outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Synovectomy has been introduced into total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with the aim of relieving pain and inflammation of the synovium. However, there are no long-term, comparative data to evaluate the effect of synovectomy in TKA. This study was aimed at assessing pain, function, and complications in patients undergoing synovectomy during TKA for osteoarthritis (OA) at long-term follow-up. METHODS: This was a prospective randomized controlled trial of 42 consecutive patients who underwent staged bilateral TKA. Patients undergoing the first-side TKA were allocated to receive TKA with or without synovectomy followed by a 3-month washout period and crossover to the other strategy for the opposite-side TKA. The overall efficacy of both strategies was evaluated by determination of blood loss, the Knee Society score (KSS), and knee inflammation conditions during a 3-month postoperative period. The postoperative pain, range of motion (ROM), and complications were sequentially evaluated to compare the two groups until 10 years after surgery. RESULTS: At the 10-year follow-up, both groups had a similarly significantly improved ROM (114.88 ± 9.84° vs. 114.02 ± 9.43°, t  = 0.221, P  = 0.815) and pain relief with no differences between the two groups (1.0 [1.0] vs. 1.0 [1.5], U  = 789.500, P  = 0.613). Similar changes in total blood loss, KSS, and knee inflammation were found in both groups during 3 months postoperatively ( P  > 0.05). Additionally, there was no significant difference regarding complications and satisfaction between the two groups ( P  > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Synovectomy in conjunction with TKA for primary OA does not seem to provide any benefit regarding postoperative pain, ROM, and satisfaction during a 10-year follow-up. In addition, it may not result in more blood loss and increased incidence of long-term complications. Based on our long-term findings, it should not be performed routinely.
