Proximal load transfer with a stemless uncemented femoral implant

Bone stock preservation is crucial when performing total hip replacement in young patients. The aim is to save good bone stock for a possible revision procedure. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand from young and active patients to receive a new joint which allows a normal or nearly normal life style. With this in mind, we began, in 1993, to develop a new femoral implant. The purpose of this ultra-short stem was a physiologic strain distribution on the proximal femur with a proximal load transfer from the implant to the femoral bone. Main features were an almost complete absence of the diaphyseal portion of the stem, a well defined lateral flare with load transfer on the lateral column of the femur, and a very high femoral neck cut. These innovations resulted in a conservative implant on both the bone stock and the soft tissues. This implant, in the first years, was recommended only for young and active patients. Over the last thirteen years, this project has undergone several modifications but the basic principles of the implant have remained the same. In the present review, we present the rationale, the surgical technique and the clinical and experimental results so far obtained with this implant.     

空心螺钉治疗股骨颈骨折术后并发症的分析

目的探讨影响空心螺钉治疗股骨颈骨折术后早期并发症及中晚期股骨头缺血性坏死的因素。方法对1994年1月～2004年1月间应用空心螺钉治疗的116例股骨颈骨折患者进行回顾性总结,将患者性别、年龄、骨折类型、骨折复位情况、外伤至手术时间与骨折术后早期并发症及中晚期股骨头缺血性坏死间的关系进行统计学分析。结果116例患者获平均(3．2±2．5)年(1～11年)随访。术后早期并发症包括：骨折内固定失败6例,骨折周围再骨折2例,感染2例,下肢深静脉血栓6例。年龄是引起骨折术后早期并发症的主要因素之一；骨折术后早期并发症还与骨质情况及内固定技术有关。本组16例出现股骨头缺血性坏死,其坏死率为13．8%。造成股骨头缺血性坏死的因素主要是骨折类型,其次为骨折复位情况。结论①年龄大于60岁的患者股骨颈骨折术后早期并发症相对多。②对于骨折移位严重的高龄患者,建议行人工关节置换术。③内固定术应尽可能解剖复位、坚强牢靠,以减少术后股骨头缺血性坏死的发生。     

比较4种影像技术对早期股骨头缺血性坏死的诊断敏感性

目的评价CR,CT,ECT和MRI在早期股骨头缺血性坏死(ANFH)中的诊断价值。方法回顾性分析16例23髋经手术、病理证实为早期(符合国际骨循环研究会(ARCO)分期标准Ⅰ期-Ⅱ期)股骨头缺血性坏死患者的CR,CT,ECT和MRI的影像学特征及其检查结果。结果CR诊断早期ANFH11髋,阳性率为47.8%,CT诊断早期ANFH14髋,阳性率为60.9%,ECT诊断诊断早期ANFH21髋,阳性率为91.3%,MRI诊断早期ANFH22髋,阳性率为95.7%。经统计学处理,X2=19.38,P<0.01,CR,CT,ECT和MRI四者敏感性的差异具有显著性意义。结论对早期股骨头缺血性坏死影像学诊断而言,CR诊断敏感性较低,CT可提供较多的诊断信息,ECT和MRI的敏感性高于CT及CR,MRI可准确地诊断早期股骨头缺血性坏死。

Widespread serum amyloid P immunoreactivity in cortical amyloid deposits and the neurofibrillary pathology of Alzheimer's disease and other degenerative disorders

Amyloid P (AP) component is present in all types of systemic amyloid deposits. Recently, it has been shown to be also present in cerebral amyloid lesions of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we used immunocytochemical methods to extend these findings at the electron microscope level and characterize the spectrum of AP immunoreactivity in neurofibrillary pathology (NFP) of AD and other neurodegenerative disorders including Down's syndrome (DS), Creutzfeldt-Jakob, Parkinson's, Pick's and diffuse Lewy body diseases and progressive supranuclear palsy. In AD and DS, AP immunoreaction product was evident in all the classical amyloid lesions and NFP in a large sample of all cortical areas examined. The distribution and relative intensity of immunostaining was similar to that of thioflavin S staining in serial sections. In many cases, however, plaques and vessels stained by anti-AP serum were not apparent with thioflavin S. Serial sections immunostained with antiserum to amyloid A, C-reactive protein or to other proteins involved in systemic amyloidoses and the acute phase response showed no evidence of staining in any of the cerebral lesions. Electron microscopy confirmed that AP immunoreactivity was associated with the abnormal filaments characteristic of NFP as well as amyloid fibrils found in plaques and vessels showing congophilic amyloid angiopathy. Plaques of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Pick bodies of Pick's disease, tangles and Lewy bodies in Parkinson's disease and a subpopulation of Lewy bodies in the diffuse Lewy body disease coexistent with AD were also stained. With the exception of vessels in two of the five cases, AP was not detected in age-matched controls. Our observations indicate AP to be a consistent feature of cerebral NFP and amyloid deposits.     

The healing of femoral neck fractures in dogs

Summary This study evaluates healing fractures of the femoral neck in dogs by using standard radiography, intraosseous venography, India ink staining and histology.The 45 animals were divided into three groups, one of which was not treated, but in the other two the fracture was fixed with a screw or two Kirschner wires.Our results suggest that, when intraosseous venography was positive, India ink injection was also positive, and the late phase of fracture healing was reached.

Résumé Etude de la consolidation des fractures du col fémoral chez le chien à l'aide des radiographies standard, de la phlébographie osseuse, de la coloration par l'encre de Chine et de l'examen anatomopathologique. Les animaux ont été divisés en trois groupes, dans l'un la fracture n'a pas été traitée, dans les deux autres elle a été fixée soit par une vis, soit par deux broches de Kirschner. Les résultats tendent à montrer que lorsque la phlébographie est positive, la coloration par l'encre de Chine l'est également et que la phase ultime de la consolidation est atteinte.
