微创固定系统治疗膝关节周围复杂骨折

目的应用微创固定系统(less invasive stabilizing system,LISS)治疗膝关节周围复杂骨折,探讨其手术适应证及疗效。方法2003年12月至2004年6月应用LISS技术治疗膝关节周围复杂骨折41例,男29例,女12例;年龄24￣67岁,平均40.6岁。胫骨近端骨折28例,股骨远端骨折13例。多发伤22例(53.7%),陈旧性骨折6例(14.6%),翻修手术1例。新鲜骨折均采用关节面切开复位、干骺端闭合复位及经皮钢板固定技术;陈旧性骨折及翻修手术采用有限切开及经皮钢板固定技术。结果单侧LISS手术时间平均87.2min。全部病例随访13～21个月,平均16个月。3例股骨远端骨缺损患者平均于术后21.3周(19～24周)行植骨术,植骨术后22.3周(18～24周)骨折愈合。其余患者愈合时间平均15.1周(11～23周),完全负重时间平均16.8周(12～25周)。术中发生螺钉脱落1例,提拉复位装置断裂1例,工具断裂1例,螺钉未能按计划置入2例。术后发生关节面复位丢失1例,无感染、内固定松动、断裂及失败病例。按照Rasmussen骨折复位评分标准,优31例、良10例。术后1年关节活动范围2.4°～95.6°。术后1年HSS评分平均88.4分(58～98分),其中优27例、良10例、中3例、差1例,优良率90.2%。结论LISS为膝关节周围复杂骨折提供了一种新的治疗方法,特别是对常规方法难以处理的骨折。但其手术理念及手术技术与传统手术不同,还需要一定病例与随访的积累才能确定其疗效。

The attachments of the anteromedial and posterolateral fibre bundles of the anterior cruciate ligament

The tibial attachments of the individual anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) fibre bundles and the entire attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament are described, relating them to consistent bony landmarks; 55 fresh-frozen specimens were measured. The fibre bundles were separated and excised at their attachments and their peripheries marked with a pen. High-resolution scaled digital photographs were taken of each dissected specimen and transferred onto a computer for analysis. A wide variation was found when using the posterior tibial axis, the anterior tibial surface and the medial tibial spine as reference points. The most consistent measurements used the tibial interspinous “over-the-back” ridge as a datum. The attachments of the PL and AM bundles were centred 10 ± 1 mm (mean ± SD) and 17 ± 2 mm anterior to the over-the-back ridge. They were 4 ± 1 and 5 ± 1 mm, respectively, lateral to the medial tibial spine border. The positions of 6 mm circles in the posterior-medial limits of the fibre bundles (representing tunnels in a double-tunnel reconstruction) were measured. The overall dimensions of the tibial plateaux correlated significantly with many measurements. The results from this study could be used to guide ACL reconstruction techniques.     

A quantitative analysis of valgus torque on the ACL: a human cadaveric study.

The loads needed to elicit a positive pivot shift test in a knee with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture have not been quantified. The coupled anterior tibial translation (ATT), coupled internal tibial rotation (ITR), and the in situ force in the ACL in response to a valgus torque, an inherent component of the pivot shift test, were measured in 10 human cadaveric knee specimens. Using a robotic/universal force-moment sensor testing system, valgus torques ranging from 0.0 to 10.0 Nm were applied in nine increments on the intact and ACL-deficient knee in flexion ranging from 0 degrees to 90 degrees. At 15 degrees of knee flexion, the coupled ATT and ITR were significantly increased in the ACL-deficient knee when compared to the intact knee. Coupled ATT increased a maximum of 291% (6.7 mm, p<0.05), while coupled ITR increased a maximum of 85% (5.1 degrees, p<0.05). At 30 degrees, the increases in coupled ATT and ITR were significant at valgus loads of 3.3 Nm and greater with a maximum increase in coupled ATT of 137% (6.3 mm, p<0.05) and a maximum increase in coupled ITR of 38% (3.6 degrees, p<0.05). At 45 degrees, coupled ATT increased significantly (maximum of 69%, 4.4 mm, p<0.05), but only at torques > or =6.7 Nm. The in situ force in the ACL was less than 20 N for all flexion angles when a torque between 3.3 and 5.0 Nm was applied. Low valgus torque elicited tibial subluxation in the ACL-deficient knee with low in situ ACL forces, similar to a positive pivot shift test. Thus, application of a valgus torque may be suitable to evaluate ACL-deficient and ACL-reconstructed knees, since subluxation can be achieved with minimal harm to the ACL graft. This work is important in understanding one load component needed for the pivot shift examination; further studies quantifying other load components are essential for better comprehension of the in vivo pivot shift examination.     

特异性COX-2抑制剂保护骨关节炎软骨的临床观察

目的探讨特异性COX-2抑制剂对骨关节炎的关节软骨保护作用的临床研究。方法门诊选取膝关节骨关节炎患者80例,随机分为特异性COX-2抑制剂组和维骨力对照组,各40例,单盲给药。应用平均Womac关节炎指数评分和平均OA严重程度指数评定两组用药前后临床症状改善情况及使用血清软骨代谢标志物蛋白聚糖与型胶原和关节MRI进行检测关节软骨结构与功能的改变情况,并作统计学分析。结果经12个月治疗观察,特异性COX-2抑制剂组的平均Womac关节炎指数评分和平均OA严重程度指数在前3个月改善明显优于维骨力对照组(P<0.01),但在治疗12个月后,两组差异不显著(P>0.05);治疗12个月后特异性COX-2抑制剂组的软骨代谢指标蛋白聚糖和型胶原及关节MRI均显示组内变化显著(P<0.01),而与维骨力组对比结果无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论特异性COX-2抑制剂对骨关节炎的软骨有保护和促进修复作用,兼有抗炎与保护软骨双重疗效,它是一类既能改善关节炎症状又能改善关节软骨结构的药物,值得临床广泛应用。同时本研究为其在临床应用和进一步研究此类药物提供了更好的理论基础和依据。     

Ⅱ型浮膝损伤术后膝关节功能康复

目的:总结Ⅱ型浮膝损伤患者的治疗方法和手术后膝关节功能康复疗效。方法:回顾分析经治的68例患者,男57例,女11例;年龄17~60岁。68例共74侧肢体的Ⅱ型浮膝损伤-膝关节内骨折病例,其中双侧肢体Ⅱ型浮膝骨折6例。根据患者骨折类型、是否存在开放性损伤、软组织损伤程度分别采用内固定(髓内钉、解剖钢板)和支架外固定方法,术后均采用统一、系统的康复治疗。术后对治疗结果采用Karlstrom和Olerud的浮膝损伤治疗标准进行评价;使用χ2检验对两种固定方法治疗后膝关节功能康复效果差别进行显著性分析。结果:所有病例均得到1~4年的随访,平均24个月。内固定组优良率64.29%,支架外固定组优良率80.43%。内固定组与支架外固定组比较,膝关节活动受限度指标有统计学差异(P<0.05),说明Ⅱ型浮膝损伤应当注重对关节内骨折的复位和减少对膝关节周围软组织的破坏。结论:①早期功能恢复期支架组优于内固定组;②牵引后及术后早期系统的康复治疗有利于膝关节功能恢复和减少并发症;③伸膝功能锻炼应当在牵引治疗后即开始,膝关节屈伸功能锻炼在手术后3d进行。     

High-resolution imaging of progressive articular cartilage degeneration.

The objective of this study was to develop and verify a new technique for monitoring the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) by combining a rat model with the imaging modality optical coherence tomography (OCT). Time-sequential, in vivo, OCT imaging was performed on the left femoral condyles of 12 Wistar rats following sodium-iodoacetic acid-induced OA progression. The right femoral condyles (untreated) were also imaged and served as controls. Imaging was performed on days 0, 10, 20, 30, and 60 with an OCT system capable of acquiring images at four frames per second and an axial resolution of 5 microm. Progressive changes were analyzed using an OA scoring system. OCT successfully identified progressive cartilage degeneration as well as alteration of the cartilage/bone interface. Significant changes to both of these structures were observed in the sodium-iodoacetic acid-injected condyles. Structural changes detected with OCT were confirmed histologically. OCT in combination with a well-known model used in arthritis research represents a powerful tool for following degenerative joint disease progression in a given animal by detecting changes to the cartilage/bone interface and articular cartilage.     

Influence of Osteoarthritis on Serum Marker Levels of Bone Formation and Resorption in Patients with Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy

Background :
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of osteoarthritis of lumbar vertebrae on serum bone formation and resorption marker levels of patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).
Methods :
Serum levels of carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), carboxyterminaltelopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were examined in 40 patients with BPH, and the presence of osteoarthritis at the lumbar vertebrae of the patients was evaluated by plain x-ray-p.
Results :
Findings of osteoarthritis were observed in 23 of the 40 patients (58%), and 10 of the patients had severe osteoarthritis (involving at least 2 lumbar vertebral bodies). The serum levels of PICP, ALP, ICTP, and PSA of the patients without osteoarthritis findings were not different from those of the patients with osteoarthritis or severe osteoarthritis.
Conclusion :
The influence of osteoarthritis on serum bone formation and resorption marker levels of patients with BPH appears to be rather slight, if there is any influence at all.     

屈膝过程中的胫股运动特性分析

本文采用三维位移测量方法，测试１０例离体人膝标本的胫股关节三维运动特性。发现屈膝过程中，胫股运动也具有典型的三维运动特点。其中在屈膝初期的３０°内，胫骨内旋最明显并伴有胫骨内翻现象，平均内旋８°，内翻６－７ｍｍ，膝关节完全伸直时胫股扣锁使膝关节稳定，屈曲时胫股“解锁”使膝关节松弛，具重要的临床意义，同时提示，在解释传统的胫股扣锁现象时不应遗漏伴随发生的胫骨内／外翻现象。
