All patients were preoperatively diagnosed with single-segment lumbar disc herniation and underwent PETD by the same surgical group. The affected segments were at L3-4 in 32 cases, L4-5 in 289 cases, and L5S1 in 91 cases. Among them, 306 cases had no prolapse, 89 had mild up/down prolapse, and 17 had severe prolapse. MRI sagittal imaging was used to measure the height and width of the intervertebral foramen of L3, 4, L4, 5 and L5S1 segments, the distance between the lower edge of vertebral pedicle and the upper edge of the lower vertebral pedicle and the distance between the point 3 mm to the ventral side of the intervertebral space to the superior articular process. The necessity of performing foraminoplasty was evaluated by measuring the change of intervertebral foramen width using dynamic X-ray and verified during operation. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The height of the intervertebral foramen of L3,4, L4,5 and L5S1 segments were 1.99±0.25, 1.89±0.15 and 1.52±0.26 cm, respectively. The width of the intervertebral foramen was 0.78±0.14, 0.75±0.13 and 0.64±0.13 cm, respectively. The distance between the lower edge of vertebral pedicle and the upper edge of the lower vertebral pedicle were 1.14±0.17, 1.05±0.16, and 0.98±0.19 cm, respectively. The distance between the point 3 mm to the ventral side of the intervertebral space to the superior articular process were 1.11±0.31, 1.17±0.20, and 0.95±0.14 cm, respectively. The width of the intervertebral foramen of the L3, 4 and L4,5 segments was significantly greater at the over-flexion position than at the over-extension position (P<0.05). Intraoperative verification showed that 347 cases (group A) did not need foraminoplasty. However, the other 65 patients (group B) needed foraminoplasty, including 31 at L4, 5 segment and 34 at L5S1 segment. One patient in group A and one in group B underwent revision operation due to residual intervertebral disc. At 2 years of follow-up, recurrence occurred in 4 patients in group A and 2 patients in group B. The ODI score and JOA score in group A and B were 18%±9%, 24.2±1.3 and 16%±7%, 23.9±1.3, respectively. There were not significantly different between patients in group A and B (t=1.70, P=0.090; t=1.71, P=0.088). The VAS score of lumbar pain of patients in group A was better than that of patients in group B (P<0.05). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusion \u0000Most of PETD of L3-S1 segments can reach the therapeutic target without performing foraminoplasty with half-half technique combined with far lateral access technique.

In order to simulate cervical disc degeneration and abnormal ligamentum flavum, we placed two hemispherical steel balls into the anterior and posterior side of the cervical spinal cord through the bone window of the C4, 5. The measurement was conducted in 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% of the sagittal diameter for the compressive stress of the anterior and posterior cervical spinal cord under different compression depths of flexion, neutral, and posterior extension. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The anterior depth of a certain pressure with the posterior pressure depth was increasing in neutral position, the stress on the anterior of the cervical cord-meningeal complex (CCMC) had no significant change, while the stress on the posterior of the CCMC increased greatly with the increasing of the degree of canal occlusion. The stress on the posterior of the CCMC varied insignificantly between 10% and 20% depth of canal occlusion (P>0.05). However, there was remarkable significance among 30% and 60% (P 0.05).

According to the Heim's square, the proximal tibias were cut off. Each of the proximal tibias was divided into three parts, the medial condyle, the intercondylar area and the lateral condyle. Each part was divided into three sections, proximal, middle and distal sections. Each of the proximal tibias was divided into 9 regions. Bone specimens with a thickness of 3 mm were taken from each region using a high precision low-speed saw and fixed on flat sheets. The microhardness of the bone tissue was measured using a Vickers microhardness tester after polish. Ten effective micro-indentation tests were conducted in each region. After measurement the diagonal length of the indentations, the microhardness values were calculated via software provided by the hardness tester. Analysis of variance and Tukey method were used to compare the microhardness values of different parts, sections and regions of cancellous bone. The microhardness distribution of the proximal tibia was analyzed. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000A total of 270 effective indentations were made in the specimens, and the microhardness values were obtained. The average microhardness of the three proximal tibias was 40.98±3.44, 34.92±4.64 and 39.49±3.86 HV, respectively. There was a significant difference among the groups (F=55.87, P=0.000). The microhardness distribution of bone tissue in the three proximal tibias was similar. In the comparison of different parts, the microhardness of medial condyle was greater than that of the lateral condyle, which was larger than that of the intercondylar area. The difference between the parts was statistically significant (F=18.42, 8.236, 10.877; P=0.000, 0.001, 0.000). In the comparison of different sections, the microhardness of the distal section was greater than that of the proximal section, which was larger than that of the middle section. The difference between the sections was statistically significant (F=8.720, 17.140, 6.142; P=0.000, 0.000, 0.003). The microhardness distribution was similar among different regions. The region with the highest microhardness is the medial condyle of the distal section with microhardness of 44.87±3.25 HV (range 39.2-49.7 HV).

There were 507 male and 983 female with a median age of 66 years (range: 18 to 95 years). There were 201 patients underwent femoral head replacement, 897 total hip arthroplasty and 392 total knee arthroplasty, respectively. The creatinine value was 68.79 μmol/L preoperatively. Demographic, perioperative and postoperative data were recorded. The development of AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. The demographic information, comorbidities, preoperative medication, type of surgery, type of anesthesia, intraoperative anesthetics, operation time, intravenous fluid type and dose, amount of bleeding and postoperative creatinine values were recorded. Predictors associated with AKI and postoperative creatinine was determined by multiple regressions. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000There were 80 cases developed AKI with the incidence of AKI 5.4%. Among the AKI patients, there were 69 cases (4.6%) in AKI stage 1, 7 cases (0.5%) in AKI stage 2, and 4 cases (0.3%) in AKI stage 3. The creatinine value was 72.03 μmol/L after surgery. The length of postoperative hospital stay was 9 days. There were 5 patients died in hospital. The independent risk factors of AKI after hip and knee arthroplasty included old age, a higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade and preoperative diabetes (P<0.05). The risk of postoperative AKI in patients aged 60-69 years, 70-79 years, and older than 80 years was 2.259, 2.798, and 6.049 times than that of patients under 60 years of age, respectively.

All patients had complete preoperative image data. Preoperative lumbar lordosis (LL), Cobb angle, and vertebral rotation were measured on spinal X-ray plain film. The CSA and FI of the paravertebral muscle on the upper and lower intervertebral level of the scoliosis apical vertebrae were measured by lumbar MRI, and the CSA, FI and their correlation with the Cobb angle were compared. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000This study enrolled 118 DLS patients, including 49 males and 69 females. The mean age of the patients was 65.4 ± 7.2 years, with an average BMI of 24.7 ± 3.4 and lumbar symptoms including LBP, sciatica, numbness and intermittent claudication, decreased myodynamia and other symptoms. The lasting time of symptoms were 21 months (3-60 months). The Cobb angle of the patients averaged 18.5°±6.7°. Of all patients, 60 patients had a scoliosis to the left, and 58 patients had a scoliosis to the right. The number of patients with lateral apical vertebrae located at L1-L4 were: 12 cases of L1, 41 cases of L2, 49 cases of L3, 16 cases of L4. The CSA of the concave side psoas muscle was significantly larger than that of the convex side(upper intervertebral level, concave side 3.74±2.17 cm2, convex side 3.56±1.91 cm2; lower intervertebral level, concave side 6.54±3.08 cm2, convex side 6.31±3.302 cm2.

High tibial osteotomy is a common method which performed to treat medial compartment osteoarthritis in varus knees. Unicondylar knee arthroplasty is an established treatment option for symptomatic osteoarthritis isolated to one compartment, and received remarkably effect. Total knee arthroplasty is the standard treatment of serious knee disease. The knee kinematics have changed after the knee was diseased, and the kinematics after surgery are different from the natural joint. The flexion-extension rotation, anterior-posterior translation and interior-exterior rotation are most important kinematics of tibia-femur joint. The anterior-posterior translation and interior-exterior rotation, which as the secondary kinematics, even are paradoxical after total knee arthroplasty. Secondary kinematics studies played an important role in prosthesis design and postoperative functional assessment. Measurement and description methods of knee joint secondary kinematics were reviewed in this article. The factors influencing secondary kinematics were investigated for natural knee joint, osteoarthritis knee joint and knee joint after total knee replacement separately, and the influence of total knee replacement design was emphasized. At last, the impact of knee secondary kinematics to biomechanics, friction and wear were also introduced. After comparison of multi-research results, the measurement precision was found to need further improvement due to the restrict of measuring technology and description methods. Many factors influence knee secondary kinematics, including activities, measurement environment and individual difference. The anterior-posterior translation was found complex after total knee replacement, and the prosthesis design played an important role. Posterior cruciate ligament-retaining knee replacement lead forward slide of the femoral component during flexion, which paradoxical from natural knee. The anatomical design prosthesis were hopeful to realize more natural kinematics. The component malalignment and soft tissue balance during surgey also have significant role in knee secondary kinematics. The knee secondary kinematics study is of great significance to biomechanics and wear.","PeriodicalId":36405,"journal":{"name":"中华骨科杂志","volume":"39 1","pages":"1157-1164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49376271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
