Bibliometric analysis of orthopaedic related publications by Indian authors from the last decade

PurposeBibliometric studies have been established methods of analysing publications on a particular topic. These studies have been done on various orthopaedic topics and are increasing. The advantages of these studies have been highlighted in previous publications. Although some studies have been done on Indian publications from other specialties, those analysing Indian Orthopaedic Publications are lacking.MethodsWe performed a search in Scopus to look for all publications related to orthopaedics from India. Our search strategy in Scopus included ((TITLE-ABS-KEY(Orthopaedics OR Orthopaedics) AND AFFIL(India)) AND PUBYEAR > 2009 AND PUBYEAR < 2020) which resulted in 3270 articles on 02/11/2021. We analyzed the most publishing universities, city, state, specialty, authors, and anatomic location of these publications. We also mined the data to draw word clouds based on data obtained from the titles of articles, keywords and the affiliations of each of the articles published.ResultsTamil Nadu and New Delhi and their institutes appear to be the epicenter of publication activities in Orthopaedics in India. There has been a healthy trend of growth of articles in the orthopaedic specialty. Since there is a significant overlap of technology and engineering, it is not surprising to see engineering and technology institutes among the top 10 published institutes and even journals for the publications on orthopaedics.ConclusionThere has been a steady increase in the number of publications in the last decade. New Delhi and its Universities and Institutes appear to contribute the majority of citations and publications related to orthopaedics. Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma was the most publishing journal for Indian authors on Orthopaedic related articles.     

塞来昔布对骨科围手术期镇痛的疗效评估

[目的]观察塞来昔布(西乐葆)对骨科围手术期患者术后镇痛的疗效及安全性。[方法]选择2004~2005年住院手术患者,共64例,随机分组,分别给予西乐葆或镇痛泵进行术后镇痛。西乐葆给药时间:一般于手术前8~12 h,即患者手术禁食前首次给药,手术后6 h患者可进食后再次给药,手术后3~5 d按手术大小及患者疼痛程度决定停药时间。给药剂量:西乐葆首次服用400 mg,大手术可加大剂量。观察患者疼痛VAS评分、药物不良反应及患者满意度。[结果]西乐葆的术后镇痛效果与镇痛泵相似,但发生不良反应比及患者总体满意度优于镇痛泵。[结论]西乐葆对手术后镇痛具有满意的疗效及安全性,适合于骨科围手术期术后镇痛。     

经外踝入路关节内环锯法行踝关节融合术

[目的]介绍经外踝入路关节内环锯法行踝关节融合术的方法与临床效果。[方法]利用环锯(14mm、16 mm、18 mm)对20例踝关节严重病损病人行关节融合术,均采用踝关节外侧入路,腓骨下段截骨并下翻显露关节,利用环锯关节内融合即原锯心骨旋转90°原位回植,外踝骨块螺钉固定旁靠植骨。术后关节予以石膏固定。[结果]经随访6个月~4 a,平均26个月。术后2周刀口Ⅰ期愈合,4周可见骨痂形成,12周病人疼痛明显缓解或消失,足部外形改善。X线片示胫距关节牢固融合。[结论]采用经外踝入路关节内环锯法行踝关节融合术,方法简单,融合率高。其优点为:切口显露良好;对胫距关节干扰小,保证了关节的正常高度和下肢长度;锯心骨原位回植无需再次植骨,外踝旁靠植骨提高了植骨强度。     

Preoperative methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) screening: An effective method to control MRSA infections on elective orthopaedics wards

Background: Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections continue to increase in UK hospitals despite the introduction of various control measures. These infections have serious clinical and economic implications, particularly in relation to elective orthopaedic surgery. Methods: A prospective study was performed from August 2003 to July 2004 to assess the effect of preadmission screening and ‘ring fencing’ of beds on the incidence of infection in an elective orthopaedics unit. Results: The preoperative incidence of MRSA colonization was 2.25% and 53% of these patients had at least one risk factor. There were no postoperative MRSA infections in the ring‐fenced orthopaedic unit. Conclusions: Preoperative screening and ring fencing reduced the MRSA incidence to zero in the operated patients. Mechanisms need to be developed where screening and isolation of MRSA cases can be performed in most, if not all, hospital admissions.     

计算机辅助带锁髓内钉固定胫骨骨折全程规划手术系统的实验研究

目的评价计算机辅助带锁髓内钉固定胫骨骨折全程手术规划系统的有效性及临床可行性。方法在分析系统结构和操作流程的基础上,利用塑料胫骨模型(9根)和尸体胫骨(12具下肢肢体)进行基于C型臂透视图像的术中骨折肢体图像拼接、骨折闭合复位及髓内钉置入仿真测量实验；利用胫骨模型及尸体胫骨进行图像拼接精度分析,以验证图像拼接与规划模块的正确性。利用尸体胫骨进行计算机辅助骨折闭合复位试验,分析骨折复位机构模块的操作可行性。结果图像拼接模块只需术中采集7～10张有效的C型臂图像即可拼接出下肢长骨的全景图像,为采集图像所需的术中透视时间为(19．75±0．61)s；计算机进行X线透视图像采集和拼接总时间为(4．17±0．86)min；塑料模型拼接精度达(1．26±0．76)mm。结论该系统实现了基于C型臂拼接图像的计算机辅助胫骨骨折髓内钉内固定全程手术规划,术中可完成骨折复位图像分析、手术规划、虚拟仿真,髓内钉型号选择以及骨折复位等关键操作,为计算机辅助骨科手术系统治疗长骨骨折搭建了精确、安全、稳定的软硬件技术平台。     

FASCIOCUTANEOUS ISLAND FLAPS FOR ORTHOPAEDIC MANAGEMENT IN LOWER LIMB RECONSTRUCTION USING DERMATOMAL PRECINCTS

This paper describes a technique of fasciocutaneous island flaps used in reconstruction of the lower limb. It is very versatile and some 26 individual flaps in 22 patients have been used to reconstruct skeletal and soft tissue problems from the popliteal fossa to the ankle joint. These longitudinally designed flaps made up of a trilaminate of skin, subcutaneous fat and fascia are aligned within the dermatomal precincts. The most important location for such flap design is along the peroneal compartment sitting within the L5 dermatome and incorporating the superficial peroneal nerve. It can be lengthened as far as the lateral malleolus and is an excellent reconstructive method to close defects over the lower third of the tibia. The medial compartment of the leg employing the saphenous nerve (L4 dermatome) is another area for fasciocutaneous island flap reconstruction, but use is restricted to the upper two-thirds of the tibial area. Posteriorly the island flap design sits along the S2 dermatome, this time incorporating the sural nerve to reconstruct defects of the calf and can be extended to include problems of the popliteal fossa. In the overall flap technique, the age of the patient is not a contraindication and cases with peripheral vascular disease have been treated successfully. The flaps may extend up to a 5:1 ratio in dimension. The operating time can be considerably shortened.     

计算机辅助导航骨科手术及医用机器人技术在创伤骨科的应用

本文介绍了计算机辅助导航骨科手术(CAOS)及医用机器人技术在创伤骨科应用中的主要进展、当前在临床应用中存在的主要问题和相关对策,并对其未来的发展趋势进行了预测,同时简要介绍了北京积水潭医院创伤骨科在计算机辅助导航骨科手术及医用机器人技术方面的研究进展。当前骨科手术导航定位所应用的医学图象导引系统已经由使用单一的C型臂、CT等传统影像设备向应用三维C型臂、多模态图像处理系统等新型影像设备转变,基于多模态图像的导航系统将有可能成为导航手术的主流。医用机器人已经在自动化程度和人机交互模式方面,有了长足进展,摆脱了原有工业机器人的结构模式。医学图像后处理技术及其它相关信息技术极大地丰富了导航和机器人外科,只有在不断完善光学定位技术的同时,加大对其它定位方法的研究,才能够提高定位精度;要对相关设备进行开放式结构设计,使不同导航系统的注册软件能够互相兼容,手术器械能够通用,降低设备成本。骨科医生要正确认识计算机辅助导航骨科手术及医用机器人技术,在充分了解CAOS的技术特点、基本原理、操作程序的基础上,对要实施的手术具有深刻的理解,才能开展CAOS手术。目前,迫切需要建立CAOS技术标准、临床适应证和手术操作规范,进行CAOS产品之间的技术比较和评估,便于医生选择合适的CAOS产品。伴随快速发展的信息技术,数字化手术室、智能化微创导航手术系统、医用机器人辅助的远程医疗将有可能成为未来CAOS技术的主要组成部分。
