Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy between a single palmar lateral transverse approach and the modified Henry approach in the locking plate fixation for distal radius fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 82 patients with distal radius fracture who had undergone locking plate fixation through either a single palmar lateral approach or the modified Henry approach between January 2016 and December 2022 at Department of Traumatic Orthopaedics, Taihe Hospital, Affiliated to Hubei University of Medicine. There were 25 males and 57 females, with an age of (53.8±12.7) years. Based on the difference in surgical approach, the patients were divided into a single transverse approach group ( n=42) and a modified Henry approach group ( n=40). The 2 groups were compared in terms of injury cause, injury location, time from injury to surgery, AO fracture classification, tourniquet time during surgery, incision length, fracture reduction, Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (PSAS & OSAS) and Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score at the last follow-up, and complications after surgery. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (8.2±3.5) months. Follow-ups revealed one case of injury to the palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve but no other complications like infection, non-union, internal fixation failure, or tendon injury in the single transverse approach group. The single transverse approach group was significantly superior over the modified Henry approach group in incision length [(2.4±0.9) cm versus (5.3±1.6) cm], OSAS (8.1±4.2 versus 10.3±5.7), and PSAS (10.1±5.8 versus 14.7±6.4) ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in tourniquet time, fracture reduction quality, and DASH score at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In locking plate fixation for distal radius fractures, in comparison with the modified Henry approach, a single palmar lateral approach is more minimally invasive so that more aesthetically pleasing outcomes can be achieved to facilitate patients' rapid return to work and society.

Objective:To understand the psychology of patients undergoing breast augmentation, and to provide reference for preoperative communication between clinicians and patients.Methods:From September 2016 to September 2017, the Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital formulated a 37-question questionnaire based on BREAST-Q and Chinese national conditions, and investigated patients who planned to undergo breast augmentation in 34 hospitals.Results:A total of 2066 valid questionnaires were collected. Fifty-four percent of women were dissatisfied with their nude appearance, which was more dissatisfied compared with their appearance when dressed. Surgical safety (20.1%), surgical effect (16.8%), surgical method and incision selection (16.5%), breast implant material (14.5%) and doctor′s skill (11.6%) were the five most important factors for considering breast augmentation. Only 26.6% of the respondents were supported by their family members or partners when they made the decision to have breast augmentation. Most women had limited knowledge of breast augmentation, with only 24.9 percent of respondents having a thorough understanding of the procedure.Conclusions:Women undergoing breast augmentation have an urgent need to improve their appearance, and their decision-making process is affected by many factors, among which surgical safety is the most worrying factor for patients. This group of people have limited knowledge about surgery, and the popularization of breast augmentation by plastic surgeons remains to be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the causes of buccal masses after temporal autologous fat grafting, and to summarize the therapeutic methods to avoid medical disputes.Methods:Ten female patients (25-40 years; mean age, 33.1±7.5 years) with buccal mass complication after temporal autologous fat grafting were retrospectively analyzed, and statistics was done on their fat injection history, postoperative buccal mass symptom onset time, intraoperative mass conditions, postoperative pathological and fluid bacterial culture results, and postoperative recovery.Results:The unilateral temporal fat injection volume was 15-30 ml, and the buccal masses occurred 1-6 months after temporal autologous fat grafting. Lipoid masses were found in the buccal space during the operation, and some of them contained liquid. The postoperative pathological results indicated local necrosis in fibrotic adipose tissues. All the fluid bacteria cultures were negative, only one showed positive culture of acid-fast bacilli. 6-12 months postoperative follow-up visit was performed, and 9 patients recovered and 1 patient recovered after re-operation.Conclusions:The overfilled fat and liquefied necrotic fat after temporal fat grafting may move down to buccal space to form buccal masses, which should be treated by operation early to achieve a good prognosis.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women, and more and more patients choose breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Breast reconstruction plays an important role in improving patient self-confidence and quality of life. Implant-based breast reconstruction is the most common technique, subpectoral breast reconstruction combined with acellular dermal matrix is commonly used in surgical procedure. However, the postoperative pain, shoulder dysfunction and dynamic deformity and other complications caused by pectoralis major muscle dissection and elevation have attracted the attention of many plastic surgeons. In recent years, more and more plastic surgeons in Europe and the United States have reconsidered prepectoral (subcutaneous) breast reconstruction and observed good short-term postoperative results. We reviewed the implant pocket plane of breast reconstruction.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Lejours' procedure in the treatment of breast prolapse.Methods From July 2014 to July 2018,the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Prov ince accepted 36 female patients with breast prolapse and correction failure,aged 25 42 years,with an average age of 32.1 years.According to the preoperative design,the pedicel epidermis,the redundant skin,the prosthesis and capsule were removed,and the mammary flap was fixed on the fascia of pectoralis major muscle,and the nipple and areola were fixed and sutured layer by layer.Results In 36 cases,the shape of breast was improved,the scar of incision was smaller,and the color of scar became lighter with time.There were no serious complications such as nipple and areola necrosis.The breast was straight and round after operation.After 6-24 months follow-up,one patient had delayed wound healing and received repeated dressing changes for 7 days.Conclusions The design of the op eration is simple,with little scar,few complications and good long term effect.The shape of the breast after repair is round and straight,which can be used as one of the feasible operation methods for the repair of breast ptosis.

The main anatomical cause of periorbital tissues aging is the gradual attenuation and relaxation of the periorbital retaining ligaments. The retaining ligaments in the periorbital region mainly include the orbicularis retaining ligament, the lateral orbital thickening and the tear trough ligament in the medial canthus region.The surgical plan regarding the periorbital ligament for lower blepharoplasty was continuously evolved and updated due to the development of its fine anatomy, and could be adjusted according to the extent and level of ligament release, and the severity of the nasojugal groove, tear trough, and eye bags. This article introduces the anatomical progress of the main ligaments in the periorbital area, and further elaborates the different treatments choices of the orbicularis retaining ligament in the lower blepharoplasty, as well as the research on the surgical and non-surgical clinical treatments of the tear trough ligament.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of the simulation with a 3D stereophotogrammetric imaging system(Vectra) for the prosthetic breast augmentation. Methods: From July 2014 to December 2015, 32 patients received Vectra scanning prior to breast augmentation. The simulations of post-operation images were created by the software.The distance of SN-N line, N-N line and the volume of the simulated breast was measured by the software. The patients came back for a follow-up 1-6 months post-operation. At that time, the same type of data was collected again, and the difference of simulated and real post-operation breast was calculated. 18 professional doctors scored the accuracy of the simulation using a 1-10 scale. We defined 6-10 as"of great accuracy". The scores were analyzed using the independent-sample t test. Results: The simulated distance of SN-N line(L/R), N-N line(L/R) and the volume(L/R) was (19.3±1.4) cm/(19.3±1.2) cm、(19.0±1.5) cm and (369.0±64.5) ml/(370.0±82.7) ml. The real distance of SN-N line(L/R), N-N line(L/R) and the volume(L/R) was (19.0±1.3) cm /(19.0±1.2) cm、(18.4±1.3) cm and (365.6±81.0) ml/(360.2±84.2) ml. Those data of simulating and real post-operation breast was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The score of the simulation accuracy by 18 professional doctors was 7.9±1.4, which means the doctors agreed the accuracy of Vectra for the breast augment simulation was great. Conclusions The Vectra can simulate the figure of breast augmentation with good accuracy.
