目的:探讨不同的手术时机对于创伤性漂浮膝术后功能恢复的影响。方法:回顾性分析42例接受手术治疗并获得随访的漂浮膝患者术后膝关节功能恢复情况,将患者按接受手术的时间分为72h内（23例）和72h后（19例）手术组,根据Karlstrom标准对两组患者术后膝关节功能恢复情况进行评定,将评定结果使用SPSS10·0软件进行统计学分析。结果:随访11个月⁶年,平均26个月,72h内接受手术者膝关节功能恢复情况优10例,良7例,中5例,差1例;72h后接受手术者优2例,良5例,中4例,差8例,两组结果差异有显著性统计学意义（P<0·01）。结论:早期手术坚强内固定、早期进行功能锻炼对于漂浮膝损伤远期功能的恢复具有重要的意义。     

Plate selection for fixation of extra-articular distal humerus fractures: A biomechanical comparison of three different implants

Operative fixation of extra-articular distal humerus using a single posterolateral column plate has been described but the biomechanical properties or limits of this technique is undefined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of distal humerus fracture fixation using three standard fixation constructs.Two equal groups were created from forty sawbones humeri. Osteotomies were created at 80 mm or 50 mm from the tip of the trochlea. In the proximal osteotomy group, sawbones were fixed with an 8-hole 3.5 mm LCP or with a 6-hole posterolateral plate. In the distal group, sawbones were fixed with 9-hole medial and lateral 3.5 mm distal humerus plates and ten sawbones were fixed with a 6-hole posterolateral plate. Biomechanical testing was performed using a servohydraulic testing machine. Testing in extension as well as internal and external rotation was performed. Destructive testing was also performed with failure being defined as hardware pullout, sawbone failure or cortical contact at the osteotomy.In the proximal osteotomy group, the average bending stiffness and torsional stiffness was significantly greater with the posterolateral plate than with the 3.5 mm LCP. In the distal osteotomy group, the average bending stiffness and torsional stiffness was significantly greater with the posterolateral plate than the 3.5 mm LCP. In extension testing, the yield strength was significantly greater with the posterolateral plate in the proximal osteotomy specimens, and the dual plating construct in the distal osteotomy specimens. The yield strength of specimens in axial torsion was significantly greater with the posterolateral plate in the proximal osteotomy specimens, and the dual plating construct in the distal osteotomy specimens.Limited biomechanical data to support the use of a pre-contoured posterolateral distal humerus LCP for fixation of extra-articular distal humerus exists. We have found that this implant provided significantly greater bending stiffness, torsional stiffness, and yield strength than a single 3.5 mm LCP plate for osteotomies created 80 mm from the trochlea. At the more distal osteotomy, dual plating was biomechanically superior. Our results suggest that single posterolateral column fixation of extra-articular humerus fractures is appropriate for more proximal fractures but that dual plate fixation is superior for more distal fractures.     

Association between reproductive variables and metabolic syndrome in chinese community elderly women

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the association between reproductive variables and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Chinese community elderly women.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study in a Beijing urban district. A two-stage stratified clustering sampling method was used and 1251 elderly women were included.ResultsThe prevalence of MetS was 65.1% in this population. Women with MetS had younger menarche age, a greater number of years after menopause, higher gravidity and parity. The prevalence of MetS showed an increasing trend for tertiles of years after menopause (p = 0.002) and number of children (p < 0.001), while decreasing trend for menarche age (p = 0.021). Logistic regression showed ORs of age at menarche, years after menopause and number of children for MetS were 0.94, 1.40, and 1.36 for second and 0.63, 1.58, and 1.75 for last tertiles.ConclusionThere is strong association between reproductive variables and higher risk of MetS. Simple information on timing of menarche and menopause could help identify women who may have higher risk of getting MetS and take early action to prevent related chronic diseases.     

Prone positioning for intramedullary nailing of subtrochanteric fractrures,the techniques of intraoperative fluoroscopy and reduction: A technique note

The treatment of subtrochanteric fractures is a challenge for orthopaedic trauma surgeons. Three positions have been described previously: supine on a fracture table, supine on a flat radiolucent table, and the lateral decubitus position on a flat radiolucent table. Each one has its advantages and limitations. In this article we describe a prone position for intramedullary nailing of subtrochanteric femoral fractures. This position has the advantages including: 1) an easy approach to reduce and maintain the reduction of fracture by adjusting only the leg plate on injured side, 2) perfect intraoperation fluoroscopic imaging on both anteroposterior view and lateral view, and 3) an easy approach to establish an appropriate entry point even in obese patients.
