外固定架在跟骨关节内骨折治疗中的作用

目的探讨外固定架在跟骨关节内骨折治疗中的作用。方法1996年9月～2005年9月间收治69例跟骨关节内骨折患者，根据治疗方法将其分为两组，外固定架组（31例）在术中应用外固定架进行辅助显露复位或辅助固定，对照组（38例）未用该方法。骨折分型采用Sanders关节内骨折的CT分型，其中Ⅱ型骨折19例（外固定架组9例，对照组10例），Ⅲ型骨折29例（外固定架组12例，对照组17例），Ⅳ型骨折21例（外固定架组10例，对照组11例）。功能结果采用Maryland评分标准评定。结果平均随访时间61个月（16～102个月）。Maryland评分结果：Ⅱ型骨折得分两组之间差异无统计学意义（P=0．760）；Ⅲ型骨折得分两组差异有统计学意义（P=0．042）；Ⅳ型骨折得分两组差异有统计学意义（P=0．037）。外固定架组临床评分总体优于对照组（P=0．015）。并发症包括皮肤坏死、感染、创伤性关节炎等。外固定架组皮肤坏死及创伤性关节炎发生显著低于对照组，差异有统计学意义（P=0．030．0．028）。结论外固定架辅助显露可降低皮肤坏死并发症，辅助韧带整复作用以及微创固定方式可提高Ⅲ型和Ⅳ型骨折复位质量而减少术后创伤性关节炎的发生，有利于足部功能恢复。     

Closed tibial pilon fractures treated with external fixation

Fractures of tibial pilon are due to a high energy trauma. Associated skin complications are frequent as those of surgery of this pattern. Thus we performed external fixation as treatment for these fractures. Authors report a retrospective study of 17 closed fracture of tibial pilon, type C of Ruedi and Heim classification, treated by osteotaxis using external fixation of Hoffman with osteosynthesis of fibula by screwed plate. Our patients are of a mean age of 34 years with 11 men and 6 women. The right side was most frequently involved (12 patients). Skin injuries as phlyctena were seen in 6 patients. Delay of treatment did not exceed 72 h. We performed a closed reduction of the fracture of tibial pilon after internal fixation of fibula by screwed plate. Results were assessed after 24 months of study. Track pins infection was noted in three cases. Reduction was usually good, despite one case of recurvatum, one case of valgus, one case of Sudeck’s atrophy, three cases of arthritis have been noticed. Mobility decreased at about 30%. External fixation is a real alternative solution for treatment of these fractures for which osteosynthesis is not suitable. It allows us to avoid skin complications despite mobility decreasing.      

外固定支架与非扩髓髓内钉治疗开放性胫骨骨折的疗效比较

目的比较外固定支架与非扩髓髓内钉治疗开放性胫骨骨折的临床疗效。方法对2002年1月～2004月12月急诊治疗的156例开放性胫骨骨折患者资料进行回顾性分析，其中93例采用单臂外固定支架治疗，63例采用非扩髓髓内钉治疗。对两组患者的一般资料、骨折AO分型、软组织Gustilo分型、术后骨折愈合时间、骨折延迟愈合例数及并发症进行统计学分析。结果外固定支架组和非扩髓髓内钉组的骨折平均愈合时间分别为7．8个月（3～18个月）、5．3个月（2．12个月）。非扩髓髓内钉组在骨折愈合时间、骨折延迟愈合及骨折畸形愈合方面明显优于单臂外固定支架组（P〈0．05）；两组在感染发生率方面差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）。结论非扩髓髓内钉治疗开放性胫骨骨折具有骨折愈合时间短、畸形愈合少等优点。对于严重污染的创面及全身多发伤患者，外固定支架的临时固定是首选。

Pelvic floor neuropathy in relation to the outcome of burch colposuspension

The aim of the study was to determine the role of neurogenic damage to pelvic floor muscles on the outcome of Burch colposuspension. Thirty women objectively continent after Burch colposuspension and 18 women with recurrent stress urinary incontinence (RSUI) were investigated with concentric needle electrode electromyography (EMG) in both pubococcygeus muscles and the external anal sphincter muscle. Neurogenic EMG patterns were significantly more often seen in the pubococcygeus muscles in women with RSUI than in women continent after the colposuspension (P<0.05). The distribution of neurogenic EMG patterns in the investigated muscles was significantly more pronounced in women with RSUI than in continent women: at least one pubococcygeus muscle with neurogenic EMG pattern, 72% vs. 34% (P<0.05); both pubococcygeus muscles, 50% vs. 13% (P<0.05); and all three investigated muscles 41% vs. 10% (P<0.05). In conclusion, the results imply an association between the outcome of the Burch colposuspension and the occurrence of neuropathy in the pelvic floor muscles. Occurrence of neurogenic damage in the pubococcygeus muscles seems to impair the outcome of Burch colposuspension.

The external laryngeal nerve: surgical and anatomic considerations. Report of 50 total thyroidectomies

This surgical anatomy study aimed to evaluate the possibility of identifying the external laryngeal nerve during thyroid surgery and the possible variations of nerves at risk. Fifty patients underwent total thyroidectomies during a period of 12 months. Using a neurostimulator, the distal motor branch of the external laryngeal nerve was searched. Electrical stimulation of a nervous branch aimed to provoke a global contraction of the cricothyroid in order to identify with certitude the external laryngeal nerve. The external laryngeal nerve was identified in 20% of cases. Its course was, with almost equal frequency, either (1) between the vessels of the superior thyroid pedicle or (2) superficial and anterior to the fascia of the cricothyroid muscle. The external laryngeal nerve is hard to find during thyroid surgery, even with a neurostimulator. It can be vulnerable during thyroid surgery but only in cases of anatomic variations. Searching for the nerve systematically during thyroid surgery does not seem to be useful. Several precautions when dissecting the superior pole of the thyroid gland seem to be necessary and sufficient to respect the external laryngeal nerve.     

External load can alter the energy cost of prolonged exercise

Summary The present study was undertaken to examine the energy cost of prolonged walking while carrying a backpack load. Six trained subjects were tested while walking for 120 min on a treadmill at a speed of 1.25 m · s^–1 and 5% elevation with a well fitted backpack load of 25 and 40 kg alternately. Carrying 40 kg elicited a significantly higher (p<0.01) enery cost than 25 kg. Furthermore, whereas carrying 25 kg resulted in a constant energy cost, 40 kg yielded a highly significant (p<0.05) increase in energy cost over time. The study implies that increase in load causes physical fatigue, once work intensity is higher than 50% maximal work capacity. This is probably due to altered locomotion biomechanics which in turn lead to the increase in energy cost. Finally, the prediction model which estimates energy cost while carrying loads should be used with some caution when applied to heavy loads and long duration of exercise, since it might underestimate the acutal enery cost.
