目的 :探讨脊柱后路去松质骨截骨术(vertebral column decancellation,VCD)应用于脊柱畸形翻修手术中的安全性和有效性。方法:回顾性分析2010年1月~2012年1月在我院接受脊柱畸形翻修手术的20例患者的临床资料,年龄17~58岁(34.5±11.6岁),男12例,女8例。强直性脊柱炎后凸畸形6例,先天性半椎体后凸畸形4例,结核性脊柱侧后凸畸形4例,先天性侧后凸畸形3例,青少年特发性脊柱侧凸3例。翻修手术距初次手术时间为5.6±3.3年(1~16年)。翻修术前10例冠状面失衡患者冠状面Cobb角45°~85°(64.2°±15.6°),17例矢状面失衡患者矢状面畸形后凸Cobb角75°~110°(92.7°±9.7°)。均在插管全麻下行VCD进行畸形矫正。记录患者翻修手术时间、术中出血量及围手术期并发症等一般情况。所有患者翻修术前、术后1周及末次随访均拍摄包括骨盆的站立位脊柱全长正侧位X线片,测量脊柱矢状面、冠状面Cobb角,冠状位顶椎偏移距离、双肩相对高度差,矢状面偏移距离、矢状位腰前凸角、胸腰段后凸角、骨盆倾斜角、骨盆入射角及骶骨倾斜角。采用SRS-22调查表评估患者术前及术后6个月生存质量。结果 :均顺利完成手术,平均截骨椎体数量1.5±0.6个(1~2个)。手术时间为4~6.5h(5.3±0.7h),术中出血量为600~1300ml(830.0±150.5ml)。所有患者术中脊髓监测未发现在复位过程中有体感诱发电位(SEP)及运动诱发电位(MEP)异常变化,术中唤醒试验患者下肢运动感觉功能正常。术后切口均Ⅰ期愈合。3例发生脑脊液漏,2例后凸畸形患者术后并发肠系膜上动脉综合征,围手术期未发生感染、呼吸衰竭、下肢深静脉血栓等其他并发症。住院时间13.9±2.4d。随访时间18~40个月(27.6±2.8个月),随访期间未出现内固定棒断裂、螺钉松动及深部感染等并发症。冠状面和矢状面畸形获得良好矫正,术后1周冠状面和矢状面Cobb角分别矫正至15.7°±4.9°、28.7°±8.7°。术后1周脊柱冠状面和矢状面Cobb角、顶椎偏移距离及双肩相对高度差、矢状面偏移距离与翻修术前比较均明显变小(P0.05),末次随访时与术后1周比较无统计学差异(P0.05);脊柱-骨盆矢状面参数除骨盆入射角与术前比较无统计学差异(P0.05)外,腰前凸角、胸腰段后凸角、骨盆倾斜角及骶骨倾斜角与术前比较均有明显改善(P0.05)。术后1周冠状面Cobb角矫正率为(75.5±4.5)%,矢状面Cobb角矫正率为(63.5±5.7)%;末次随访时与术后1周比较,冠状面矫形丢失率为26.5%,矢状面矫形丢失率为34.1%。翻修术后6个月SRS-22量表功能、疼痛、外观、精神健康、满意度评分与翻修术前比较均明显增加(P0.05)。结论:VCD在脊柱畸形翻修手术中可重新恢复脊柱矢状面、冠状面的平衡和稳定,尤其在脊柱矢状面平衡的恢复中有良好的效果,同时可避免脊髓过度短缩、神经卡压等并发症,是一种较安全有效的补救措施。     

低温等离子体射频消融术应用于椎间松解的组织学观察

目的评价低温等离子体射频消融术应用在椎间松解及其自然转归的组织学变化。方法将12只2.0~2.5月龄的健康雌性山羊随机分为低温等离子体消融组(消融组,n=6)和传统胸椎椎间盘切除组(传统组,n=6)。每只动物均处理中段6个胸椎椎间盘(T_5/T_6/T_7/T_8/T_9/T_(10)/T_(11)),光镜下分别比较2种术式术后即刻和术后12周自然转归的组织学变化。结果消融组术后即刻椎间盘组织(纤维环,髓核和软骨终板)基本被去除,仅在软骨终板和骨性终板交界处残留一薄层软骨终板,表面光整,厚度均匀,周围组织细胞形态基本正常。传统组术后即刻纤维环、软骨终板有不同程度的剩余,骨性终板无明显破坏,松解面凹凸不平,刀痕周围的组织细胞形态正常。消融组术后12周显微镜下见椎间残留有部分薄层软骨终板已被不同程度的钙化,椎间前后缘融合稍差;椎间中部被大量成纤维细胞连接,软骨细胞增生更加明显,椎体骨小梁和终板下骨小梁之间无明确的界限,潮标前移变薄。传统术后12周显微镜下见软骨终板大部分消失,仅在近椎体后缘残留;终板下骨小梁排列不规则,上下终板下骨小梁之间未呈连续性生长,而是被大量由软骨细胞和成纤维细胞组成的组织连接,其中可见新生的毛细血管,上下潮标不对称并前移。结论采用低温等离子体消融术行椎间准备可以较好地去除软骨终板,处理后的终板面较传统组光整,且对周围健康组织影响小,和传统组都能获得早期的椎间融合倾向。

Femoral neck shaft angle is not correlated with femoral version: A retrospective study of computed tomography scans

BackgroundAn understanding of femoral anteversion and neck-shaft angle (NSA) is essential to deliver optimal orthopaedic surgical care. Despite the importance, there is little research examining the relationship between femoral anteversion and the NSA in an adult population. This study sought to determine if there is a correlation between femoral neck shaft angle and version in skeletally mature adults using computed tomography (CT) scanograms.MethodsBetween January 2010 and June 2017, all skeletally mature patients who had received a CT scanogram of the lower extremity were reviewed. Exclusion criteria included: (1) radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis, (2) history of hip, femur, or knee surgery or trauma, (3) and anatomic abnormalities of the proximal femur including prior slipped capital femoral epiphysis or Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. Both femoral version and NSA were measured by a musculoskeletal fellowship trained radiologist using CT scanograms. Correlation between femoral version and NSA was determined using coefficient of determination (R²) and Pearson correlation coefficient (r) for the group as a whole and for each sex.ResultsThere was no statistical correlation between femoral version and NSA for either the entire cohort or for each sex. For the entire cohort, R² = 0.0016 and r was 0.04 (p=0.45), for females, R² = 0.0005 and r was 0.0224 (p=0.72), and for males, R² = 0.0342 and r was 0.185 (p=0.07).ConclusionThere was no correlation between femoral version and NSA. This finding is beneficial for surgeons to understand the proximal femoral anatomy. Patients with an increased femoral NSA should not be assumed to have increased femoral anteversion.Level of EvidenceLevel III, Retrospective Cohort Study

The role of pleiotrophin in bone repair

Bone has an enormous capacity for growth, regeneration, and remodelling, largely due to induction of osteoblasts that are recruited to the site of bone formation. Although the pathways involved have not been fully elucidated, it is well accepted that the immediate environment of the cells is likely to play a role via cell–matrix interactions, mediated by several growth factors. Formation of new blood vessels is also significant and interdependent to bone formation, suggesting that enhancement of angiogenesis could be beneficial during the process of bone repair. Pleiotrophin (PTN), also called osteoblast-specific factor 1, is a heparin-binding angiogenic growth factor, with a well-defined and significant role in both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. In this review we summarise the existing evidence on the role of PTN in bone repair.     

Ulnar styloid process nonunion and outcome in patients with a distal radius fracture: A meta-analysis of comparative clinical trials

PurposeThere is no consensus on the relation between ulnar styloid process nonunion and outcome in patients with distal radius fractures. The aim of this study was to analyze whether patient-reported outcome is influenced by the nonunion of the accompanying ulnar styloid fracture in distal radius fracture patients.MethodsA meta-analysis of published studies comparing outcomes after distal radius fractures with a united versus a non-united ulnar styloid process was performed. In addition, if provided by the authors, the raw data of these studies were pooled and analysed as one study. The outcome measures of the analyses included patient-reported outcome, functional outcome, grip-strength, pain, and distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability.ResultsData from six comparative studies were included, concerning 365 patients with a distal radius fracture. One hundred and thirty-five patients with an ulnar styloid union were compared with 230 patients with a nonunion of the ulnar styloid. No significant differences were found between groups regarding any outcome measure.ConclusionBased on this meta-analysis, there is no relation between the nonunion of the ulnar styloid process and function in patients with a distal radius fracture.     

Plate selection for fixation of extra-articular distal humerus fractures: A biomechanical comparison of three different implants

Operative fixation of extra-articular distal humerus using a single posterolateral column plate has been described but the biomechanical properties or limits of this technique is undefined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of distal humerus fracture fixation using three standard fixation constructs.Two equal groups were created from forty sawbones humeri. Osteotomies were created at 80 mm or 50 mm from the tip of the trochlea. In the proximal osteotomy group, sawbones were fixed with an 8-hole 3.5 mm LCP or with a 6-hole posterolateral plate. In the distal group, sawbones were fixed with 9-hole medial and lateral 3.5 mm distal humerus plates and ten sawbones were fixed with a 6-hole posterolateral plate. Biomechanical testing was performed using a servohydraulic testing machine. Testing in extension as well as internal and external rotation was performed. Destructive testing was also performed with failure being defined as hardware pullout, sawbone failure or cortical contact at the osteotomy.In the proximal osteotomy group, the average bending stiffness and torsional stiffness was significantly greater with the posterolateral plate than with the 3.5 mm LCP. In the distal osteotomy group, the average bending stiffness and torsional stiffness was significantly greater with the posterolateral plate than the 3.5 mm LCP. In extension testing, the yield strength was significantly greater with the posterolateral plate in the proximal osteotomy specimens, and the dual plating construct in the distal osteotomy specimens. The yield strength of specimens in axial torsion was significantly greater with the posterolateral plate in the proximal osteotomy specimens, and the dual plating construct in the distal osteotomy specimens.Limited biomechanical data to support the use of a pre-contoured posterolateral distal humerus LCP for fixation of extra-articular distal humerus exists. We have found that this implant provided significantly greater bending stiffness, torsional stiffness, and yield strength than a single 3.5 mm LCP plate for osteotomies created 80 mm from the trochlea. At the more distal osteotomy, dual plating was biomechanically superior. Our results suggest that single posterolateral column fixation of extra-articular humerus fractures is appropriate for more proximal fractures but that dual plate fixation is superior for more distal fractures.
