The diagnosis of deep SSI was based on the clinical symptoms, imaging data and laboratory findings. Early infection and late infection were defined as deep infections occurring 3 months after the initial procedure, respectively. All deep SSIs were first treated with irrigation and debridement, closed suction irrigation system and antibiotics. If the infection cannot be eradicated, dressing change is recommended within 2 years after the initial surgery. The instrumentation can be removed 2 years after the initial surgery with careful evaluation of the fusion mass. The posterior-anterior and lateral radiographs were used to measure the coronal parameters and sagittal alignment. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000Sixty patients were diagnosed as deep SSI after spinal deformity surgery, including 11 patients with early infection and 49 patients with late infection. No significant difference was observed in terms of age, gender ratio, surgical approach and fusion levels between the two groups. Deep SSI seemed to be more likely to occur between 2 and 5 years after surgery. Incidence of SSI was lowest in the patients with idiopathic scoliosis and ankylosing spondylitis, and highest in the patients with neuromuscular and syndromic scoliosis. There was a high rate of negative culture in the primary culture. Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were the most common organisms in the early infection, while patients with late infection had a high rate of low-virulent skin flora. In the early infection group, nine patients retained instrumentation while the implants were removed 2 years after the primary surgery in 2 patients. In patients with late infection, instrumentation was retained in 5 cases and removed in 10 cases until 2 years after the primary surgery. 34 cases were infected 2 years after the primary surgery and the implants were removed directly. One patient underwent reoperation with instrumentation 1 month after implant removal, another patient underwent reoperation 3 years after implant removal due to progression of deformity. Significant loss of coronal correction was noted at the latest follow-up. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusion \u0000The rate of deep SSI after spinal deformity surgery was 0.68%, of which the incidence of early infection and delayed infection was 0.12% and 0.56%, respectively. An increased risk of SSI in patients with neuromuscular and syndromic scoliosis was noted. If the infection cannot be eradicated after repeated debridement, we recommend instrumentation removal 2 years after the initial surgery, but there is still a high risk of loss of correction in these patients. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Scoliosis; Kyphosis; Spinal fusion; Infection; Treat","PeriodicalId":36405,"journal":{"name":"中华骨科杂志","volume":"40 1","pages":"226-235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49355009","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}

The average age of the cohort was 60.2±7.1 years, including 13 male patients and 53 female patients. The predictive ability of GAP score to the mechanical failure was validated with Fisher's exact test and Linear-by-linear association test. Sagittal spinopelvic parameters were measured on lateral full-spine X-rays of 67 healthy volunteers aged between 50 and 70. The average age of these subjects was 58.2±5.4 years. Values of spinal and pelvic parameters including pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis (LL), global tilt (GT) and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were measured. Simple linear regression analysis was conducted between PI and SS, LL and GT, respectively. The equations of regression analysis were used to calculate patients' ideal SS, LL and GT, and to establish the modified GAP (M-GAP) score.

Curves were classified into typical and atypical patterns in the coronal plane. The coronal and sagittal radiographical parameters were measured in the three groups. Moreover, cerebellar tonsillar descent and syringomyelia patterns were measured on MRI, and the parameters among the three groups were compared statistically. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The incidence of atypical curve patterns in Children (10 patients), Adolescents (44 patients) and Adults (26 patients) was 30.0%, 15.9%, and 50.0%, respectively (χ2=2.654, P=0.265).

The vertebrae were randomly divided into three groups for specific screws. For each vertebra, one side was randomly chosen for direct pullout strength test (speed 5 mm/s), and the other side for fatigue test (displacement ±1.0 mm, frequency 1 Hz, 500 cycles) and residual pullout strength test. 4.5 mm × 12 mm screws were used for PVFS, 3.5 mm × 14 mm screws for LMS, and 3.5 mm × 24 mm screws for PS. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The direct pullout strength was 327.10±17.07 N for PVFS, 305.71 ± 11.63 N for LMS, and 635.67 ± 22.82 N for PS.

The above parameters in female was 18.7±1.1 mm, 15.3±1.1 mm, 9.5±0.6 mm, 21.7±1.5 mm, 15.4±1.7 mm, 15.6±1.5 mm, 6.8±1.3 mm, 10.7±1.4 mm, 10.6±1.4 mm, 8.5±1.4 mm, 8.9±0.8 mm, 14.5±1.1 mm, 11.4±1.1 mm, 11.5±1.0 mm, 18.1±1.4 mm, 21.6±1.4 mm and 37.0±1.8 mm, respectively. All the above anatomical parameters in men were larger than those in women with statistically significant difference (P 0.05). All measurements except for the H-FE angle had a positive correlation with the articular width (0.335≤r≤0.928, P<0.05). The difference between the angle of the H-FE axis (87.6°±3.4°) and 90° was statistically significant (t=-7.287, P<0.05). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusion \u0000The size of the distal humerus in male is larger than that in female without difference in shape. Distal humerus width can be used as an indicator to measure the size of the distal humerus. The humeral shaft is more biased toward the radial side. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Humerus; Arthroplasty, replacement, elbow; Prosthesis design; Morphology; Tomography, X-ray computed","PeriodicalId":36405,"journal":{"name":"中华骨科杂志","volume":"40 1","pages":"160-168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47851683","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}

By the Meyers-McKeever-Zaricznyj classification, 10 cases were type II, 22 type III and 5 type IV. There were 25 cases in the figure of 8 suture fixation group with two No.2 high-strength sutures crossed to form a 8 figure to pull out and fix the fracture through the tibial tunnels, including 17 males and 8 females with an average age of 18.91±9.34 years (range 14-36 years). The ladder mesh suture fixation group with three No.2 high-strength sutures woven into a mesh to pull out and fix the fracture through the tibial tunnels had 12 cases, including 8 males and 4 females with an average age of 19.63±7.85 years (range 15-33 years). At the latest follow-up, the Lysholm and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores were used to estimate knee joint function, while the Lachman test and Pivot-shift test were used to estimate knee joint instability. The operation duration, knee range of motion (ROM) and the number of case with flexion contracture were evaluated. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000All 37 cases were followed up. The average follow-up duration was 16.35±5.27 months (range 10-22 months) in figure of 8 suture fixation group and 14.06±7.18 months (range 10-21 months) in ladder mesh suture fixation group. In figure of 8 suture fixation group, the Lysholm and IKDC average scores were 95.86±5.74 and 90.53±4.61, respectively. However, they were 96.53±3.17 and 92.15±5.54 in ladder mesh suture fixation group with no significant difference between the two groups after operation (t=0.723, P=0.462; t=1.018, P=0.279). The percentage of negative Lachman test and Pivot-shift test in the figure of 8 suture group was 92% (23/25) . There was no significant difference in the negative rate in the ladder mesh suture fixation group 100% (12/12, χ2=0.904, P=0.265). The average operation duration of ladder mesh suture fixation group was 61.8±6.3 minutes, which was longer than that of figure of 8 suture fixation group 43.5±5.9 minutes (t=2.714, P=0.025). Flexion contracture of ≥5° occurred in 4 cases in the figure of 8 suture group and 0 case in the ladder mesh suture fixation group with significant difference between the two groups (χ2=0.450, P=0.032). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusion \u0000In treating ACL tibial avulsion fractures, arthroscopic figure of 8 suture fixation and ladder mesh suture fixation can achieve satisfied functional recovery and stability. The ladder mesh suture fixation can effectively achieve reduction of fracture fragments and knee flexion contracture. It may have more advantages in treating rotational type III and type IV comminuted fractures.

It has good effects in reducing pain and improving joint function. The appearance of modular hip prosthesis facilitates adjustment of limb length and femoral offset. However, the wear between the interface of hip prosthesis can lead to inflammatory pseudotumor, osteolysis and other adverse reactions. To explore the risk factors of wear between hip prosthesis interface is helpful to improve the design and manufacturing concept of the product, improve the product performance, help surgeons optimize the operation technology and reduce the impact of human factors on the wear of the prosthesis. Many literatures have reported the mechanism of wear between the head-acetabula interface of prosthesis. The mechanism of wear between the interfaces has been described relatively clearly. In addition to the head-acetabula interface, the wear between the head-neck interface is another major cause of unexplained pain around the joint and prosthesis loosening after hip replacement. Many factors affect head-neck wear. The design of prosthesis (such as prosthesis material and prosthesis taper), surgical technology (such as impact strength and prosthesis mismatch) and patient factors (such as age, gender and activity) have important impact on head-neck wear. Adverse reactions caused by head-neck wear have also been widely concerned. However, there is no considerable solution for wear prevention. Thus, we should optimize the design of prosthesis, improve the surgical technology, and guide the rehabilitation of patients to prevent wear. In order to improve the attention of joint surgeons, the present paper reviews the literatures and analyzes the risk factors of head-neck interface wear and the clinical manifestations caused by head-neck wear.","PeriodicalId":36405,"journal":{"name":"中华骨科杂志","volume":"40 1","pages":"178-185"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46103308","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}
