Methods: Two children (aged 5 and 10 years, 1 male and 1 female) with osteosarcoma underwent inactivated bone replantation with preserving epiphysis following chemotherapy (MMIA protocol, including high-dose methotrexate, adriamycin and ifosfamide). After two cycles of preop-erative chemotherapy, pain vanished, the local mass shrank and there was no pain on pressing the affected parts. Sera AKP and LDH were reduced to normal levels; marked shrinkage and sclerotic changes and good margin of lesions were seen on plain radiographs and MR images. Two courses of the same protocol as preoperative chemotherapy were administered postoperatively. Results: Postoperative histological examination of the specimens demonstrated absence of vital tumor cells. Incisions healed well and no complications occurred. The replanted inactivated bone healed with host at 6 months after operation. In the two patients, no evidence was seen of metastasis and recurrence and discrepancy of the affected limbs in postoperative 36 and 48 months. Functions of the affected limbs were satisfactory. Conclusion: Inactivated bone replantation with preserving epiphysis was a viable option for osteosarcoma in children. The long-term outcomes remain to be further proven.展开更多

Current clinical research has focused on surgical techniques and indications for finger replantation; however, few studies have focused on recovery of finger sensory function af- ter replantation. This study retrospectively assessed data of eight patients who had undergone nine Zone I replantations of the fingertips in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University of China from July 2014 to January 2016. Variations in the extent of damage, with the residual vessels or nerves in some fingers being too short or even missing, prevented tension-free suture repair in some patients. Thus, re- pair of four of the nine fingertips included arteriovenous anastomosis, the remaining five undergoing arterial anastomosis during replanta- tion of the amputated fingers. Three patients underwent nerve repair, whereas the remaining six cases did not. Fingertip replantations were successful in all eight patients. Compared with the patients without vascular anastomosis, no obvious atrophy was visible in the fingertips of patients who did undergo vascular anastomosis during replantation and their sensory function did recover. Fingertip replantation pro- vides good sensory function and cosmetic outcomes when good artery and vein anastomoses have been created, even when digital nerves have not been repaired.展开更多

Methods: From January 2006 to October 2010, 27 anastomosed arteries in 27 replanted digits were included in the study. The patients included nine males and four females. The patients received DSA at 48 to 96 h after digital replantation. Based on DSA image, the blood flow was classified into normal, slow-running, and flow-stopping types. The patients with normal digital blood flow were given continuous routine treatments; the patients with slow-running flow were given the conservative treatments, such as release of the tight dressings, removal of stitches, keeping warm, the use of massage, and the use of anticoagulants and anti-inflammatory drugs; the patients with flow-stopping received immediate surgical re-exploration. Results: In this series, 23 digits in 11 patients showed a normal blood flow, and these digits all survived. In one of 13 patients, two digits which displayed slow-running flow also survived after conservative treatments. In two of 13 patients, two digits showed flow stopping, with one surviving and one failing after re-exploration and arterial revision. Conclusions: The DSA can be used to assess the blood flow of the proper digital artery in the early stage after replantation. It provides essential information for salvaging the replanted finger.展开更多

Methods： One hundred and forty-eight cases with distal phalanx replantation from Sep 2004 to Sep 2007 were investigated. The indication for surgery and the operative program was determined by the trauma type and the degree of injury. As many microcirculation pathways as possible were reconstructed during the operation, and postoperative tissue decompression was also performed. Results： The survival rate of distal phalanx replantation was 89.9% （169/148）. Conclusion： To improve the survival rate of distal phalanx replantation it is essential to reconstruct an effective local blood circulation, determine the degree of injury in cases with ecchymosis, and employ comprehensive postoperative measures.展开更多

Methods Nine cases were replanted using the routine method and the artery-vein bridge grafting method respectively. Results All 9 cases survived. At 1 year postoperation, the length of the replanted finger was comparable to that of the healthy side with satisfactory appearance. The average finger function increased 30% when compared with pre-operation one. Conclusion For the amputated complex tissue mass of fingers, routine replantation should be carried out if there was one or two digital proper arteries. If a defect was present, the artery-vein bridge grafting method was chosen accordingly. 5 refs,2 figs.展开更多

Here we reported an unusual case with a severe crush-avulsion amputated injury to the right hand caused by a machine accident. We conducted hand reconstruction using heterotopic replantation of the amputated index and little fingers.During 19 months follow-up, the bone union healed well with satisfactory outcome. The interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joint of the fingers after the heterotopic replantation had a good holding activity. This is a worthwhile procedure and the patient is satisfied with the result. The major disadvantage of this method is the poor appearance of the reconstructed fingers.展开更多

Our team has proposed a modified approach that improves the osteotomy site and its fixation procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of traditional and modified lamina replantation methods in treating unstable lumbar disc herniation. Methods From March 2008 to August 2011, 124 patients with unstable lumbar disc herniation were enrolled and randomly divided into the following two groups according to random digital table： group A （traditional group） consisting of 61 patients who underwent traditional laminectomy replantation, and group B （modified group） consisting of 63 patients who underwent modified lamina replantation. Both surgeries were performed by the same surgeons. The two groups had no significant difference in gender, age, symptoms, time of onset and the prominent segment. Visual analogue scale （VAS）, Oswertry disability index （ODI）, and Japanese Orthopaedic Association （JOA） scores, operative time, blood loss, complication rate, radiographic healing rates, and low back pain recurrence rates were compared between the two groups. Results There were 121 patients followed up for more than one year, and the follow-up rate was 97.6%. Nerve injury occurred in two patients （3.3%） in the modified group and 12 patients （20.0%） in the traditional group. Dural injury occurred in one patient （1.6%） in the modified group and seven patients （11.7%） in the traditional group. Pseudarthrosis occurred in two patients in the modified group and in 18 patients in the traditional group with 1-year fusion rates of 96.7% and 70.0%, respectively. Recurrence of lower back pain after one year was noted in three patients （4.9%） in the modified group, and in 15 （25.0%） in the traditional group. Leg pain recurrence was noted in one patient （1.6%） in the modified group and in three cases （5.0%） in the traditional group. The one-year healing rates of nerve injury, dural injury, replantation lamina and low back pain recurrence rates after one year were significantly different （P〈0.05） between the two groups. At two weeks, three months, six months and one year postoperatively, both groups had significant improvement in VAS, ODI, and JOA scores from their preoperative values （P〈0.05）. No significant difference was detected between the short term postoperative scores between groups A and B （P〉0.05）. However, a significant difference was found one year later （P〈0.05）. Conclusions Compared to the traditional approach, the modified technique for lamina replantation showed lower rates of dural and nerve damage, a higher lamina healing rate, a lower back pain recurrence rate, and better clinical scores. It is a safe and effective operation for lumbar spine surgery.展开更多

Conclusions: The DSA can be used to assess the blood flow of the proper digital artery in the early stage after replantation. It provides essential information for salvaging the replanted finger.
文摘BACKGROUND A radicular groove is an anatomic malformation that usually initiates at the central fossa,extending along the root at varying lengths and depths and predisposes the involved tooth to a severe periodontal defect.Severe grooves that extend to the root apex often lead to complex combined periodontal-endodontic lesions.They are a serious challenge for doctors to diagnose and treat.CASE SUMMARY In this report,we described a patient with a maxillary lateral incisor with a deep palatogingival groove with two roots,which led to complex combined periodontal-endodontic lesions.Suggested treatment modalities included curettage of the affected tissues,elimination of the groove by grinding and/or sealing with a variety of filling materials,and surgical procedures.In this case,a combination of endodontic therapy,intentional replantation,and root resection were used,which resulted in periodontal/periradicular healing after 12 mo.CONCLUSION Intentional replantation and root resection offer a predictable procedure and should be considered a viable treatment modality for the management of palatogingival grooves,especially for two-rooted teeth.

文摘BACKGROUND TypeⅢb dens invaginatus(DI)with a lateral canal located at the mid-third of the root is rarely reported.Here,we report a rare case of typeⅢb DI in the left upper anterior tooth with a lateral canal that led to persistent periodontitis.CASE SUMMARY A 15-year-old female patient presented with a chief complaint of pain associated with recurrent labial swelling in the area of the left anterior tooth.A diagnosis of typeⅢb DI and chronic periodontitis was made.Intentional replantation was performed after conventional endodontic treatment failed.After 6 mo,the patient was asymptomatic,but a sinus tract was observed.Cone-beam computed tomography images showed bone loss in the mesial of the mid-root.Based on methylene blue staining and microscopy images,the lateral foramen located at the middle third of the root was surgically treated.After 3 years of follow-up,the clinical findings and radiographic assessment presented a favorable prognosis of bone healing without root absorption or ankylosis.CONCLUSION TypeⅢb DI with a lateral canal can be successfully treated by root canal treatment,intentional replantation,and surgical therapy.
文摘BACKGROUND To report the application of supermicroscopy combined with arterio-venolization without venous anastomosis for replantation of digits following traumatic amputation in young children.CASE SUMMARY In March 2016,we treated two children aged 2 years and 7 years with traumatic digit amputation,no venous anastomosis,and bilateral digital inherent arteries on the palmar side.Supermicroscopy combined with an arteriovenous technique was adopted to improve the replantation surgery.Postoperative management involved auxiliary treatments such as anticoagulation,composure,antiinflammatory drugs,and insulation.After treatment,the amputated fingers survived completely without major complications,with good recovery.CONCLUSION Supermicroscopy combined with arterio-venolization is a safe and effective approach to treat traumatic digit amputation in young children without venous anastomosis.
文摘A patient with functional impairment after replantation of severed limb was treated by electroacupuncture in combination with rehabilitation training, and needling was carried out on Quchi （曲池 LI 11）, Shousanli （手三里 LI 10）, Waiguan （外关 TE 5）, Yangxi （阳溪 LI 5）, Yangchi （阳池 TE 4）, Yanggu （阳谷 SI 5）, Hegu （合谷 LI 4）, Baxie （八邪 EX-UE 9）, wailaogong （外劳宫 EX-UE 8） and Yemen （液门 TE 2）. Electroacupuncture was carried out on TE 5, EX-UE 8, LI 12 and LI 4. After treatments for four months, except the opposition of thumb was not satisfactory, the active exercises of the remaining four fingers almost recovered.

文摘Objective： To explore the measures and methods for improving distal phalanx replantation. Methods： One hundred and forty-eight cases with distal phalanx replantation from Sep 2004 to Sep 2007 were investigated. The indication for surgery and the operative program was determined by the trauma type and the degree of injury. As many microcirculation pathways as possible were reconstructed during the operation, and postoperative tissue decompression was also performed. Results： The survival rate of distal phalanx replantation was 89.9% （169/148）. Conclusion： To improve the survival rate of distal phalanx replantation it is essential to reconstruct an effective local blood circulation, determine the degree of injury in cases with ecchymosis, and employ comprehensive postoperative measures.
文摘Two experimental patterns of autogenous nerve replantation in situ and centrocentralnerve suture were performed on the rabbit median and ulnar nerves.The results of light andtransmission electron microscopy as well as immunohistochemistry showed that autogenous nervereplantation in situ could inhibit the formation of neuroma.The mechanism might be that twoproximal stump axons could touch within the interpolated graft segment.Simple end-to-endnerve suture failed to inhibit neuroma development because of a lack of proper environment forthe touching between two proximal stump axons.

文摘BACKGROUND Transcrestal sinus floor elevation(TSFE)has been widely used in the oral clinic when the residual bone height(RBH)exceeds 5 mm.However,when there is insufficient RBH in the posterior maxilla,two-stage TSFE may be an option.CASE SUMMARY This article introduces the concept of two-stage TSFE.Six patients had osseointegration failure after TSFE.For the first-stage surgery,we restricted the vertical bone augmentation as much as possible.At the second-stage surgery,the increased RBH was 3.28±1.55 mm,which was beneficial for surgery.Five implants functioned successfully on schedule,but one implant failed again during the healing period.A third surgery was performed,and the implant functioned successfully.CONCLUSION When RBH was less than 5 mm,two or more procedures of TSFE might result in a higher RBH.
文摘Although ear reconstruction is a mature procedure,emergency microsurgical replantation has still been regarded as the optimal treatment for ear amputation due to its cost-effectiveness and aesthetically pleasing results.Successful microsurgical ear replantation is rare because of the difficulty in identifying suitable vessels for anastomosis.We describe two cases of total ear microsurgical replants using the parietal branch of the superficial temporal vessels(STV)as the recipient vessels.The STV parietal branch was dissected up to a sufficient length after thorough debridement,and the amputated ears were revascularized using end-to-end anastomosis.Our experience shows that the parietal branch of the STV is an ideal recipient vessel option for total ear replantation.
文摘Objective To study the replantation methods of the amputated complex tissue mass of fingers. Methods Nine cases were replanted using the routine method and the artery-vein bridge grafting method respectively. Results All 9 cases survived. At 1 year postoperation, the length of the replanted finger was comparable to that of the healthy side with satisfactory appearance. The average finger function increased 30% when compared with pre-operation one. Conclusion For the amputated complex tissue mass of fingers, routine replantation should be carried out if there was one or two digital proper arteries. If a defect was present, the artery-vein bridge grafting method was chosen accordingly. 5 refs,2 figs.
文摘BACKGROUND Thumb replantation following complete traumatic avulsion requires complex techniques to restore function,especially in cases of avulsion at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint(MCP I)and avulsion of the flexor pollicis longus(FPL)at the musculotendinous junction.Possible treatments include direct tendon suture or tendon transfer,most commonly from the ring finger.To optimize function and avoid donor finger complications,we performed thumb replantation with flexion restoration using brachioradialis(BR)tendon transfer with palmaris longus(PL)tendon graft.CASE SUMMARY A 20-year-old left-handed male was admitted for a complete traumatic left thumb amputation following an accident while sliding from the top of a handrail.The patient presented with skin and bone avulsion at the MCP I,avulsion of the FPL tendon at the musculotendinous junction(zone 5),avulsion of the extensor pollicis longus tendon(zone T3),and avulsion of the thumb’s collateral arteries and nerves.The patient was treated with two stage thumb repair.The first intervention consisted of thumb replantation with MCP I arthrodesis,resection of avulsed FPL tendon and implantation of a silicone tendon prosthesis.The second intervention consisted of PL tendon graft and BR tendon transfer.Follow-up at 10 months showed good outcomes with active interphalangeal flexion of 70°,grip strength of 45 kg,key pinch strength of 15 kg and two-point discrimination threshold of 4 mm.CONCLUSION Flexion restoration after complete thumb amputation with FPL avulsion at the musculotendinous junction can be achieved using BR tendon transfer with PL tendon graft.
文摘In cases of severe segmental injury across the hand and wrist, but one or other fingers are still in peak condition, the fingers can be selected for replantation at the forearm bones to restore pinch function. Here we reported an unusual case with a severe crush-avulsion amputated injury to the right hand caused by a machine accident. We conducted hand reconstruction using heterotopic replantation of the amputated index and little fingers.During 19 months follow-up, the bone union healed well with satisfactory outcome. The interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joint of the fingers after the heterotopic replantation had a good holding activity. This is a worthwhile procedure and the patient is satisfied with the result. The major disadvantage of this method is the poor appearance of the reconstructed fingers.

文摘Background The traditional lamina osteotomy replantation method is prone to nerve root injury and low back pain recurrence. Our team has proposed a modified approach that improves the osteotomy site and its fixation procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of traditional and modified lamina replantation methods in treating unstable lumbar disc herniation. Methods From March 2008 to August 2011, 124 patients with unstable lumbar disc herniation were enrolled and randomly divided into the following two groups according to random digital table： group A （traditional group） consisting of 61 patients who underwent traditional laminectomy replantation, and group B （modified group） consisting of 63 patients who underwent modified lamina replantation. Both surgeries were performed by the same surgeons. The two groups had no significant difference in gender, age, symptoms, time of onset and the prominent segment. Visual analogue scale （VAS）, Oswertry disability index （ODI）, and Japanese Orthopaedic Association （JOA） scores, operative time, blood loss, complication rate, radiographic healing rates, and low back pain recurrence rates were compared between the two groups. Results There were 121 patients followed up for more than one year, and the follow-up rate was 97.6%. Nerve injury occurred in two patients （3.3%） in the modified group and 12 patients （20.0%） in the traditional group. Dural injury occurred in one patient （1.6%） in the modified group and seven patients （11.7%） in the traditional group. Pseudarthrosis occurred in two patients in the modified group and in 18 patients in the traditional group with 1-year fusion rates of 96.7% and 70.0%, respectively. Recurrence of lower back pain after one year was noted in three patients （4.9%） in the modified group, and in 15 （25.0%） in the traditional group. Leg pain recurrence was noted in one patient （1.6%） in the modified group and in three cases （5.0%） in the traditional group. The one-year healing rates of nerve injury, dural injury, replantation lamina and low back pain recurrence rates after one year were significantly different （P〈0.05） between the two groups. At two weeks, three months, six months and one year postoperatively, both groups had significant improvement in VAS, ODI, and JOA scores from their preoperative values （P〈0.05）. No significant difference was detected between the short term postoperative scores between groups A and B （P〉0.05）. However, a significant difference was found one year later （P〈0.05）. Conclusions Compared to the traditional approach, the modified technique for lamina replantation showed lower rates of dural and nerve damage, a higher lamina healing rate, a lower back pain recurrence rate, and better clinical scores. It is a safe and effective operation for lumbar spine surgery.
文摘Penile amputation and successful replantation is very uncommon, and there is no routine standardized procedures for dealing with this medical condition. Here we report two cases of penile amputation and replantation involving different degrees of vascular insult leading to different pathogenesis, clinical presentation, surgical approach and prognosis. This report described the microsurgical procedure and postoperative care using bipedicled scrotal flap to achieve successful engraftment and function. A review of the published data and future methods to increase success of such surgical procedures is provided.
