Clinical Study on CT-guided Modified Akupotomye in the Treatment of Lumbar Nerve Posterior Branch Compression

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of modified akupotomye closed lysis under CT guidance on compression of posterior lumbar nerve branch.Methods: Patients were diagnosed by HRCT 3-D reconstruction combined with clinical symptoms and signs.After HRCT three-dimensional reconstruction combined with clinical symptoms and signs, the patients were confirmed as posterior lumbar nerve compression.After CT accurate surface positioning, CT-guided modified akupotomye was used for closed lysis of the posterior lumbar nerve branch.Oswestry Dysfunction Index Questionnaire(ODI) was used for quantitative scoring, 7 days before and after treatment and 6 months after treatment.Results: In 62 cases, 20 cases were cured, with 25 cases markedly effective, 11 cases effective, and 36 cases ineffective.The total effective rate was 90.3%.ODI score: Self-paired t test 7 days before after treatment, P < 0.01;Before treatment and 6 months after treatment, self-paired t test(P < 0.01);Self-paired t-test was performed 7 days after treatment and 6 months after treatment(P > 0.05).Conclusion: With CT precise positioning, the modified akupotomye can be used to do closed lysis, to relieve the adhesion and compression, so that the low back pain can be relieved, with good clinical.The akupotomye closed lysis, combined with modern imaging technology has not only achieved good clinical effect, but also can improve the accuracy, safety and scientificity of akupotomye treatment.

Isolated Anisocoria as a Presenting Stroke Code Symptom is Unlikely to Result in Alteplase Administration

Background

Acute stroke codes may be activated for anisocoria, but how often these codes lead to a final stroke diagnosis or alteplase treatment is unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of anisocoria in stroke codes that ultimately resulted in alteplase administration.

关节镜下TightRope治疗后交叉韧带撕脱骨折

目的探讨关节镜下使用TightRope治疗后交叉韧带(PCL)撕脱骨折的技术应用和临床疗效。方法 12例膝关节PCL撕脱骨折患者在关节镜下使用TightRope固定PCL撕脱骨块。术后1周开始在支具保护下被动活动膝关节,术后10个月评估膝关节功能恢复情况。结果 12例患者均获随访,时间10～14个月,平均12.6个月,骨折均Ⅰ期愈合。1例屈膝受限15°,无伸膝受限;2例后抽屉试验(+)。Lysholm膝关节功能评分术前(45.6±6.3)分,术后10个月(87.8±4.8)分,差异有统计学意义(P 0.05)。结论关节镜下使用TightRope治疗PCL撕脱骨折固定可靠,操作相对简单,疗效满意。     

CT三维重建模型下模拟髋臼前柱2种经皮置钉方法的比较

目的对比CT三维重建模型下模拟髋臼前柱2种经皮置钉方法的效果。方法选取55例正常成人骨盆CT资料构建三维模型,共110侧髋臼前柱,调整模型透明度使其类似常规X线片,分别用2种置钉方法进行置钉,A组利用出口闭孔位和入口髂骨位引导置钉,B组利用髋臼前柱轴位引导置钉,置钉完成后恢复图像为不透明状态,记录螺钉是否进入髋关节及与耻骨支的位置关系。结果55例110侧髋臼,4侧未能找到髋臼前柱轴位影像予以剔除,106侧髋臼前柱纳入研究。2组模型均无螺钉进入髋臼。A组螺钉置入优秀、良好、尚可率分别为59.4%、17.0%、23.6%,B组分别为59.4%、22.6%、17.9%,2组总体置钉质量差异无统计学意义(Z=-0.829,P=0.407)。A组女性骨盆置钉优秀、良好、尚可率分别为7.1%、21.4%、71.4%,B组分别为28.6%、21.4%、50.0%,B组置钉质量显著高于A组(Z=-3.000,P=0.003)。A组男性骨盆置钉优秀率78.2%,良好率15.4%,尚可率6.4%,B组分别为70.5%、23.1%、6.4%,2组差异无显著性(Z=-0.969,P=0.333)。结论髋臼前柱轴位可以作为引导置钉的一种手段,尤其适用于女性患者,对于男性患者,2种方法均可实现较好的置钉。     

A systematic review of combined pelvic and acetabular injuries

PurposeInjuries of both pelvic ring and acetabulum as rare very few articles are available in literature. There are no set protocols in defining the injury let alone defining early and definitive management strategies. This article is an attempt to encompass all available data to give us guidelines in managing these injuries.MethodsAn extensive literature review was carried out on PubMed/Medline, google scholar and Embase databases was done with the eligibility criteria of 1) Case series with a minimum of 20 cases. 2) The patient’s outcome reported. 3) Full article available. 4) Article in English. 5) Minimum Jadad score of 3. As per PRISMA guidelines the search was done and gradually filtered down to relevant articles which were 8 in number.ResultsThe incidence of these injuries range from 5 to 16%. The transverse acetabular fracture pattern is the commonest followed by associated both column fractures. There is equal propensity of Anteroposterior compression and lateral compression injuries. The injury mechanism appears to transmitted lateral force from the greater trochanter inwards with an implosion injury causing acetabular and pelvic injury as a continuum. The initial management is similar to managing pelvic ring injuries with focus on patient resuscitation, hemodynamic stabilization and temporary stabilization. The injury severity score and the mortality rates are comparable to isolated unstable pelvic ring injuries. Definitive management focuses on fixing the posterior pelvic ring first followed by the acetabular fracture and then the anterior pelvic ring. The displacement rates and outcome is worse than isolated acetabular injuries or pelvic injuries.ConclusionCombined Pelvic and acetabular injuries are complex injuries which need to be managed initially as we manage pelvic injury and later as we fix as an acetabular fracture meticulously.     

Acute total hip arthroplasty for older patients with acetabular fractures: A meta-analysis

ObjectiveMultiple treatment options for acetabular fractures in geriatric patients exist. However, no large-scale studies have reported the outcomes of acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) in this patient population. We systematically evaluated all available evidence to characterize clinical outcomes, complications, and revisions of acute THA for acetabular fractures in geriatric patients.MethodsMeta-analysis of 21 studies of 430 acetabular fractures with mean follow-up of 44 months (range, 17−97 months). Two independent researchers searched and evaluated the databases of Ovid, Embase, and United States National Library of Medicine using a Boolean search string up to December 2019. Population demographics and complications, including presence of heterotopic ossification (HO), dislocation, infection, revision rate, neurological deficits, and venous thromboembolic event (VTE), were recorded and analyzed.ResultsWeighted mean Harris Hip Score was 83.3 points, and 20% of the patients had reported complications. The most common complication was HO, with a rate of 19.5%. Brooker grade III and IV HO rates were lower at 6.8%. Hip dislocation occurred at a rate of 6.1%, 4.1% of patients developed VTE, deep infection occurred in 3.8%, and neurological complications occurred in 1.9%. Although the revision rate was described in most studies, we were unable to perform a survival analysis because the time to each revision was described in only a few studies. The revision rate was 4.3%.ConclusionsAcute THA is a viable option for treatment of acetabular fracture and can result in acceptable clinical outcomes and survivorship rates in older patients but with an associated complication rate of approximately 20%. Considering the limited treatment options, THA might be a viable alternative for appropriately selected patients.
