Pure isolated dorsal dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint

Isolated pure dislocations of the fifth carpo-metacarpal joint are extremely rare injuries. The dorsal form was described in mere 12 cases. The diagnosis can be easily missed. The lesion is also often overlooked in the routine diagnostic X-ray. Lateral and oblique views are important for the recognition of the true extent of the lesion. Treatment of these injures is still controversial and both closed reduction with percutaneous pinning or open reduction with internal fixation are advocated. The goal of treatment is early reduction and fixation of the metacarpal. Early diagnosis is the key to success. The aim of this paper is to review literature and present two new cases.

Primary Hemiarthroplasty for Proximal Humeral Fractures in the Elderly: Long-Term Functional Outcome and Social Implications

Abstract Background: Primary shoulder hemiarthroplasty is an established treatment modality for complex fractures of the proximal humerus. Long-term functional outcome is often disappointing. However, little is known about social implications particularly in the elderly. Methods: A single-institution case series of consecutive geriatric patients (age > 70 years) treated with shoulder hemiarthroplasty for complex fractures of the proximal humerus between 1994 and 1997 was analysed. Postoperative morbidity, long-term function, radiological outcome and social implications were evaluated. Results: Seventy-seven patients fulfilled the study criteria. Median age at the time of operation was 80 years (range 70–93 years). Systemic and local postoperative complications were observed in 8% including 2 patients (3%) with revision surgery. Postoperative mortality was 1%. Forty-eight patients (62%) were available for follow-up (median 49 months, range 25–80 months), 22 (29%) died from causes unrelated to hemiarthroplasty before follow-up and 7 patients (9%) did not attend follow-up examination. Median Constant-Murley score was 41 points (range 17–77 points). Long-term results concerning pain were satisfying. The Oxford shoulder score ranged from 14 to 40 (median 30). Forty-one patients (85%) still lived in their original environment and managed their daily life independently despite poor shoulder function. Four patients (8%) lived in a retirement home and 3 (6%) in a nursery home. Eighty percent of our patients were still able to use public transportation, do the daily shopping and wash their whole body by themselves. Conclusion: Most patients managed their daily life independently despite poor shoulder function.     

关节镜下可吸收性半月板箭治疗半月板损伤的初步报告

目的关节镜下应用可吸收性半月板箭治疗半月板损伤并评价其近期疗效。方法2002年2～10月,关节镜下采用半月板箭缝合固定12例12侧半月板损伤,男5例,女7例;年龄18～58岁,平均33.2岁。左膝4例,右膝8例。内侧半月板损伤4例,外侧半月板损伤8例;前角损伤2例,体部损伤3例,后角损伤7例。红区损伤10例,红-白区损伤2例。病程3d～5个月,平均2.3个月,其中急性损伤(病程<1个月)9例。关节镜下采用新型全内半月板箭技术固定,共使用25枚半月板箭(平均每例2.1枚)。5例同时施行其它类型手术。结果所有病例术后均无早期并发症发生。全部患者均获得随访,随访时间7～13个月,平均10.2个月。随访时所有患者膝关节稳定,无疼痛、绞锁等症状,6周后关节活动度全面恢复。Lysholm评分由术前的平均(45.6±13.4)分增加到术后平均(82.4±16.3)分,差异有显著性(P< 0.05)。2例分别于术后8个月和9个月出现关节积液,考虑为滑膜炎,经治疗后消失。结论对于半月板损伤,如撕裂类型和部位适当,可选择可吸收性半月板箭治疗。半月板箭技术是一种简便快捷、安全有效的半月板缝合方法。     

踝关节X线片分析与临床应用

目的测量正常成人踝关节X线片的有关数据,提高踝关节损伤诊断的准确率,以利于早期治疗、提高疗效。方法40例正常踝关节X线片,测量踝关节间隙内侧宽度、上方胫距关节间隙宽度、距骨外侧与外踝胫侧骨重叠影宽度、侧位片距骨与胫骨之间的宽度、下胫腓联合的宽度、胫骨外侧与腓骨胫侧构成重叠的宽度共六组数据。结果踝穴内侧宽度平均(3.8±0.5)mm,正位距胫关节宽度为(3.0±0.5)mm,距骨外侧与外踝的重叠影为(4.1±2.2)mm,侧位片中距骨与胫骨的间隙为(2.8±0.5)mm,下胫腓联合宽为(3.2±0.7)mm,胫骨外侧与腓骨胫侧重叠影宽平均为(7.7±1.9)mm。结论综合分析各组正常值,结合其它骨折改变,超过正常值范围是距骨脱位移位下胫腓联合分离的依据。多组数据改变可提高早期诊断准确率。     

Ipsilateral mid-third clavicle fracture with grade V acromioclavicular joint dislocation

We report the case of a 20-year-old man with an ipsilateral mid-third clavicle fracture with grade V acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation. The combination of these two injuries is rare. A literature search produced various treatment algorithms. In this case, the patient was successfully treated with a Bosworth screw.This work was carried out in the Department of Orthopaedics, William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, Kent, UK

隐性失血对双侧人工全膝关节同期置换手术的影响

[目的]研究双侧人工全膝关节同期置换术术后隐性失血的相关因素。[方法]对2005年2月～2007年2月44例双侧人工全膝关节同期置换术患者进行回顾性分析，通过Gross方程，根据身高、体重及手术前后的红细胞压积推算术后平均显性失血量及平均隐性失血量。[结果]平均总失血量2065ml，其中显性失血量1198ml，隐性失血量867ml，使用自体血回输患者总失血量为2180ml，隐性失血量为937ml（42％）；未使用自体血回输患者的总失血量是1950ml，隐性失血量是799ml（41％）；两组的隐性失血相比差异无统计学意义。[结论]双侧人工全膝关节同期置换术术后隐性失血量占总失血量的比例较高，且使用自体血回输不能完全满足机体恢复体循环的需要，在围手术期要特别注意及时补充血容量。     

Composite prostheses for the repair of abdominal wall defects: effect of the structure of the adhesion barrier component

The component of a composite prosthesis, which makes contact with the visceral peritoneum, can be reabsorbable or non-reabsorbable, and laminar or reticular. This study was designed to determine whether the composition of this second, barrier component could improve its behavior at this interface. Abdominal wall defects in rabbits were repaired using a polypropylene prosthesis (PP), or the composites Sepramesh (PP+h) or Vicryl (PP+v). Fourteen days after surgery, the implants were evaluated by light and scanning electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry. Prosthetic areas occupied by adhesions (PP: 71.08±5.09, PP+h: 18.55±4.96, P+v: 69.69±16.81%), neoperitoneal thickness (PP: 256.17±21.68, PP+h: 83.11±19.63, PP+v:213.72±35.90 μm) and macrophage counts (PP: 8.73±1.16, PP+h: 27.33±4.13, PP+v: 31.24±3.08%) showed significant differences (P<0.05). The tested biomaterials induced an optimal recipient tissue infiltration. Least adhesion formation was observed on the PP+h implants. This suggests that the second component, although reabsorbable, should be smooth in structure.
