Indications and limitations of locked plating

The goal of fracture fixation is to achieve bone healing and restore the function of the injured limb in the shortest possible time without compromising safety. Newer technologies such as the locking compression plate (LCP) and its derivatives are valuable additions to the orthopaedic traumatologist's armamentarium. As with any emerging technology, the indications will be extended until a threshold is reached and the limitations of the technology are seen. It is vital that surgeons involved in fracture care are aware of when locked plating is superior to other methods and also when they should use another treatment modality.This paper reviews the use of locked plating as a fixation method. Five topics covered in this review are: a historical perspective on locked plating, general indications, specific modes and techniques, patterns of failure, and an anatomical overview of current indications for locked plating.     

经前后路联合手术治疗L5S1椎体结核

目的 探讨一期经前路病灶清除后路植骨内固定治疗L5S1椎体结核的临床疗效.方法 对40例L5S1椎体结核患者,采用一期经前路病灶清除椎体间植骨加后路椎弓根螺钉内固定植骨融合治疗.结果 所有患者随访6～24个月,35例植骨融合良好,5例融合欠佳;有1例出现尿路感染.结论 一期经前路病灶清除椎体间植骨加后路椎弓根螺钉内固定椎板植骨治疗L5S1椎体结核能在彻底清除病灶的前提下保证脊柱的稳定性,提高植骨块的融合率和缩短患者卧床时间.     

腰椎间盘突出症合并椎管狭窄23 例治疗分析

目的探讨经后路椎间盘镜手术治疗合并腰椎管狭窄症的椎间盘突出症的临床应用。方法采用后路椎间盘镜进行单侧开窗减压术。通过术前标记腰椎正侧位片定位，于定位棘突间隙后正中偏患侧作长约1.5 cm小切口，逐级扩张后置入工作通道管，钻除部分椎板，置入内窥镜，于电视监视器下显露椎板、增生内聚的关节突、肥厚的黄韧带及突出的椎间盘髓核组织，彻底解除其对硬脊膜、神经根的压迫。结果本组共治疗合并腰椎管狭窄症的腰椎间盘突出症23例，平均随访7个月，按Prolo标准评定，治愈20例，有效2例，无效1例。结论本术式在严格掌握适应证前提下对合并腰椎管狭窄症的腰椎间盘突出症患者效果明显。     

采用改良McBride与Greer手术治疗严重(足母)外翻

目的探讨采用改良McBride与Greer手术(第1跖骨截骨术)治疗严重足母外翻的临床效果。方法采用改良McBride与Greer手术治疗严重足母外翻19例(32足)。术后根据足母外翻矫正情况进行评价。结果随访19例,时间为1.5个月~6年,所有患者术后外形明显改善,复发1足。结论采用改良McBride与Greer手术治疗严重足母外翻是一种安全、有效的治疗方法。     

椎管内神经鞘膜肿瘤的MRI

本文总结了椎管内神经鞘膜肿瘤的MRI表现并与病理结果进行了对照。MRI诊断准确率为82.6％。哑铃征及弄清脊髓与肿瘤的关系是MRI诊断椎管内神经鞘膜肿瘤的要点,本组病例哑铃征出现率为42.1％。但椎管内神经鞘膜肿瘤的MR信号变化与脊膜瘤和室管腆窟无法区分。     

Time for sport and health to be formally linked in a positive way

Preventing sports injury has rarely been cited as an appropriate action to respond to the obesity epidemic, and in fact a recent letter has suggested that those playing sport are as responsible for their predicament as those who are obese. This opinion piece argues that it is time for better prevention and management of sports injury to be seen as part of the complex solution to preventing obesity, rather than being a self-inflicted problem that governments should continue to ignore.     

无水酒精阻滞大鼠腹腔神经丛后脊髓、孤束核C-FOS和NOS-1的表达

目的:通过免疫组化的方法研究无水酒精阻滞大鼠腹腔神经丛后脊髓和延髓孤束核内CFOS和NOS1的表达。材料和方法:对70只Wistar大鼠实施手术,建立实验动物模型。分5组于术后不同时间取得脊髓和延髓样本,并用标准方法对其进行CFOS和NOS1免疫组化染色,观察脊髓和延髓孤束核CFOS和NOS1的表达。结果:无水酒精阻滞后脊髓后角、延髓孤束核神经元细胞内均有CFOS和NOS1表达。结论:无水酒精阻滞腹腔神经丛后,短时间内脊髓后角和延髓孤束核内CFOS和NOS1表达阳性,表明FOS和NOS1与内脏信息在脊髓水平的传导有关。CFOS和NOS1参与了内脏信息在孤束核内的传导。     

氢氧化钙预防根管治疗期间急症的临床观察

目的 观察氢氧化钙根管内封药对预防根管治疗期间急症的临床疗效。方法 使用氢氧化钙及传统根管内消毒药物樟脑对氯酚、甲醛甲酚根管内封药，观察疼痛指数并比较其根管治疗期间急症的发生率。结果 氢氧化钙封药后根管治疗期间急症的发生率最低，与传统药物相比，其差异有统计学意义。结论 氢氧化钙根管内封药。对预防根管治疗期间的急症有较好的作用。     

Idiopathic Spinal Cord Herniation as a Treatable Cause of Progressive Brown-Sequard Syndrome

Idiopathic spinal cord herniation is a rare spinal cord disorder caused by spinal cord prolapse through a adural defect. It is a curable disease, so early detection is of particular importance. We report a 38-year-old woman with Brown-Sequard syndrome which was caused by the thoracic spinal cord herniation. Her weakness was almost completely resolved after surgical management, which emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and surgical management in this rare disease entity.
