Cementless total hip arthroplasty in the treatment of severe hip dysplasia or dislocated hips

We present our experience over 6 years with the use of uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with a mean follow-up of 3 years. In a 6-year period, 26 THAs were performed in 19 patients with Hartofilakidis grades 2 and 3 dislocation of the hips. Out of 19 patients, seven had bilateral dislocations. Uncemented acetabular and femoral components were used in all patients. Patients with a minimum follow-up of 1 year were included in the study. The average age at the time of surgery was 38 (range 20–69) years. Approaches used include trochanteric osteotomy in 14 (54%) patients and a lateral approach in 12 (46%) patients. In addition, subtrochanteric osteotomy was performed in four (15%) patients. A Mallory-head femoral stem was used in 15 (58%) patients; a DDH femoral stem was in nine (35%), and the S-ROM femoral prosthesis in two (8%). A Mallory head acetabular shell was used in all cases, a 22.2-mm chrome cobalt head was used in 18 (69%), and a 28-mm chrome cobalt head was used in eight (31%). The average follow-up was 3 (range 1–6) years. The Harris hip score (HHS) improved in the cohort from a mean preoperative score of 51 to a mean postoperative score of 86 (p<0.05). The mean preoperative SF36v2 score was 42 compared to postoperatively of 67(p<0.05). The complication rate was 11% with nonunion of a subtrochanteric osteotomy in one patient, dislocation in one, and trochanteric bursitis due to fracture of Dall-Miles cables in one. THA for DDH is a technically demanding procedure. This short-term follow-up of THA for DDH using uncemented implants is encouraging for arthrosis secondary to DDH. It provides better function compared to arthrodesis or excision arthroplasty, especially in young individuals. A long-term follow-up is required in order to establish the role of this management strategy.     

X线透视导航下动力髋(髁)螺钉治疗股骨转子间骨折

目的探讨X线透视导航技术在动力髋(髁)螺钉系统治疗股骨转子间骨折中的临床应用。方法应用连接在标准动力髋(髁)器械上的适配器,X线透视导航辅助完成术中松质骨拉力螺钉在股骨颈通道内的入点选择及拉力螺钉的置入。结果8例股骨转子间骨折的应用结果令人满意。手术时间平均为48.8min,X线图像采集平均3.4次。术中和术后无并发症发生。结论肯定了X线透视导航技术在动力髋(髁)螺钉系统治疗股骨转子间骨折中应用的可行性。术中只需1次X线成像就能做出虚拟的手术环境和路径;导航的瞬时追踪功能使术者能实时监测,减少了X线辐射量,缩短了手术时间,提高了拉力螺钉置入的准确度,减小了手术创伤。

Carpentier-Edwards pericardial aortic valve in middle-aged patients comparison with the St. Jude medical valve

Objective The objective of the present study was to compare long-term results of single aortic valve replacement (AVR) with mechanical (St. Jude Medical valves: standard) and biologic (the Carpentier-Edwards pericardial) prostheses. Method: Between 1995 and 2002, 95 patients who underwent single AVR with mechanical (n=46) or biologic (n=49) prostheses were enrolled in this study. The mean age at the operation was 54.0±9.6 years (range: 20 to 69 years) with the mechanical and 68.8±7.1 years (range: 44 to 85 years) with the biologic prosthesis. Results: The 9-year actuarial survival rate, which was calculated by taking perioperative mortality into account, was 90.3±4.6% for patients with mechanical valves and 87.6 ±4.8% for patients with bioprostheses, with no difference between the two groups (p=0.342). The 9-year freedom rate from thromboembolism, reoperation, endocarditis was 94.8+3.6%, 100% and 97.8 ±2.2% for patients with mechanical valves and 98.0 ±2.0%, 97.5 ±3.4% and 95.0 ±3.4% for those with bioprostheses, respectively. After 9 years, freedom from cardiac death averaged 97.8% in the group with mechanical valves compared with 95.3% in those with bioprostheses (p=0.541). Conclusion: We conclude that the mid-term durability of the Carpentier-Edwards pericardial valve in the aortic position for the elderly is excellent. Nevertheless, the risk of tissue valve reoperation progressively increases with time, and a longer follow-up may be necessary to provide its value compared with the mechanical valves in a country like Japan with a high life expectancy.

ANALYSIS OF BURIED BUMPER SYNDROME AFTER PERCUTANEOUS ENDOSCOPIC GASTROSTOMY DUE TO USE OF A BUTTON‐TYPE KIT

Background: Buried bumper syndrome (BBS) is a rare complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Along with the widespread use of the button‐type kit, BBS is encountered frequently. Methods: In the present study, we examined causes and treatments for BBS among 1400 patients who had undergone PEG. Results: The causes of BBS after PEG were classified into two categories: early causes consisted of wound infection, inappropriate size of kit and severe lordosis, while late causes were inappropriate exchange of kit, rough management or weight gain. The treatments for BBS could be determined by the degree of wound infection, fistula and burial of the bumper. Conclusion: We prepared a flowchart for replacement, by which BBS can be managed safely and quickly without surgical or endoscopic intervention.

In Vivo Studies of Pulsatile Implantable Impeller Assist and Total Hearts

Abstract: A pulsatile impeller assist heart and a total heart were tested as a chronic left ventricular assist device in 5 calves and an acute biventricular assist device in 4 pigs respectively, to evaluate their blood compatibility. During the left ventricular assist experiments, the indicators for hemolysis, thrombogenesis, renal dysfunction, and hepatic dysfunction were measured preoperatively, at the beginning of the pumping, 6 h postoperatively, and every following day. The results demonstrated that the impeller assist heart causes no severe blood damage nor organ dysfunction in the experiments lasting up to 11 days. In biventricular assist experiments, the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and the he-matocrit, hemoglobin, free hemoglobin, and lactate dehy-drogenase levels were tested preoperatively at the beginning of the pumping and every 2 h postoperatively. The data remained in acceptable ranges during experiments lasting 6 h. It is confirmed that the authors' impeller assist heart and total heart have the advantages of simplicity, implantability, and pulsatility with good blood compatibility.

全结肠直肠切除分期重建直肠及肛门功能的临床研究

自1979年以来,采用全结肠直肠切除、回肠代结肠、分期重建直肠及肛门功能的手术方式,治疗慢性溃疡性结肠炎及结肠息肉症20例。手术方式有四种类型,分两期完成。第一期手术都同时行回肠造瘘,两期手术间隔时间平均9.7个月,已完成两期手术的16例,均未发生严重并发症。这种术式既完全切除了病变肠段,又保留了肛门控制排便的功能,保证了较好的生活质量。但尚存在的问题是夜间污粪。3例作了回肠造袋的患者污粪现象较轻,回肠储存袋的作用尚须进一步研究。
