腓骨长肌转位修复陈旧性跟腱断裂

陈旧性跟腱断裂手术修复较困难，术后效果与新鲜断裂相比较差，且重建的跟腱由于瘢痕增生而粗大，踝关节活动受限。作者于2000年8月-2003年11月利用腓骨长肌转位重建跟腱术19例，取得满意效果。     

吻合血管神经的(足母)展肌移植修复晚期面瘫

目的:探讨和研究治疗晚期面瘫的手术治疗,总结应用以足底内侧动静脉为蒂的(足母)展肌游离移植一期修复晚期面瘫40例效果和经验.方法:选取(足母)展肌为供肌,以足底内侧动静脉及其延续的胫后动静脉为血管蒂,以支配(足母)展肌神经及其延续的足底内侧神经和胫神经为神经蒂.(足母)展肌移植于患侧面部皮下,肌近断固定于口角,远端固定于耳前颧弓,血管神经蒂通过上唇皮下隧道与健侧面动静脉和面神经颊支吻合.结果:经随访一年以上,23例恢复了面部静态对称和理想的下面部随意和不随意运动;8例恢复了面部静态对称和部分下面部随意和不随意运动;9例仅恢复了面部静态对称.结论:(足母)展肌游离移植一期修复晚期面瘫具有疗效好、手术操作简便、肌肉大小适中、血管神经蒂走行位置恒定紧密伴行、血管神经蒂可切取较长、变跨面神经移植和肌肉移植的两期移植为一期移植等优点;而且,神经是血管化移植.     

Foot disorders in the elderly: A mini-review

Ageing process is associated with changes to the aspect, biomechanics, structure and function of the foot, it may be related with a marked presence of foot conditions, pain, disability and other overall health problems that constitute a major public health concern.Also, the prevalence of epidemiologic research found an incidence of foot problems which is even higher as a consequence of increasing life expectation. Several studies have also suggested that such foot disorders currently affect between 71 and 87% of older patients and are a frequent cause of medical and foot care.Thus, these kind problems are extremely common conditions in the general population, especially in the elderly who are associated with poor quality of life, balance impairment, increase the risk of falls, dificulty on putting shoes, fractures, restrict mobility and performance of activities of daily living that turn can produce serious physical, mental and social consequences in the older people.The role of the physician in the assessment, evaluation, and examination of foot problems is very important, yet it is often an overlooked and undervalued component of geriatric health care.The purpose of this article is to review and to provide an overview of the most common foot deformities precipitating factors, clinical presentation, evidence-based diagnostic evaluation, and treatment recommendations with a view to preventing medical conditions or deformities affecting the feet that may alter foot condition and general health amongst the elderly.     

Quantification of the Learning Curve for Arthroscopic Os Trigonum Excision

The purpose of the present study was to quantify the learning curve for arthroscopic os trigonum excision using the log-linear model. Twenty-three consecutive feet underwent arthroscopic os trigonum excision and release of the flexor hallucis longus. The required time from the beginning of shaving of the soft tissue until completion of os trigonum excision and release of the flexor hallucis longus (van Dijk time) was recorded. Regression analysis was applied to predict the required time on the basis of the cumulative case volume after logarithmic transformation of both statistics. The mean required time was 35.2 (range 9 to 90) minutes. After logarithmic transformation, a significant linear correlation was observed between the required time and the cumulative case volume (p?=?.0043). The best-fit linear equation was calculated as log (y, estimated required time)? = ?0.41 log (x, case volume) + 1.86, resulting in an estimated learning rate of 75.3% (= 2^?0.41). The results showed an overall time reduction in arthroscopic os trigonum excision in support of a learning curve effect with an ~75% learning rate, indicating that the required time for arthroscopic os trigonum excision can decrease by ≤25% when the cumulative volume of cases has doubled.     

Exercising with blocked muscle glycogenolysis: Adaptation in the McArdle mouse

Background

McArdle disease (glycogen storage disease type V) is an inborn error of skeletal muscle metabolism, which affects glycogen phosphorylase (myophosphorylase) activity leading to an inability to break down glycogen. Patients with McArdle disease are exercise intolerant, as muscle glycogen-derived glucose is unavailable during exercise. Metabolic adaptation to blocked muscle glycogenolysis occurs at rest in the McArdle mouse model, but only in highly glycolytic muscle. However, it is unknown what compensatory metabolic adaptations occur during exercise in McArdle disease.

拇指背动脉逆行岛状皮瓣的改进及应用

自１９９２年以来，采用拇指背动脉为蒂的逆行岛状皮瓣修复指端缺损６例，均获成功。皮瓣为１．５ｃｍ×２ｃｍ～４ｃｍ×３．５ｃｍ。经随访，拇指外形好，关节活动不受限，有痛觉恢复。手术的改进要点是：供区为第１、２掌骨背侧，不需切断拇短伸肌健。操作更简单，术后功能恢复快。     

拇短屈肌重建拇对掌功能在断腕再植术后的应用

目的 探讨断腕再植术后的拇对掌功能重建的临床效果。方法 腕关节活动受限是断腕再植术后常见的并发症，也使晚期对掌功能重建受到制约。临床上，对8例断腕再植术后成活尺神经深支功能恢复较佳者，采用拇短屈肌移位重建拇对掌功能，弥补了不足。结果 术后随访1—6个月，疗效满意，达到最佳功能，能从事原有工作。结论 断腕再植后，对拇对掌功能丧失或恢复不足者，采用拇短屈肌移位重建拇对掌功能是一种较为理想的方法。     

False aneurysm of the princeps pollicis artery of the hand
