Methodology: This was a five (05)-year continuous retrospective study from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023. We used the Watson-Jones pathway without an image intensifier. Patients were evaluated according to the Postel-Merle D’Aubigné evaluation criteria. Results: A total of 25 trochanteric fractures were recorded. The patients were 16 men and 9 women, with a sex ratio of 1.77 and an average age of 63.5 years, with extremes of 31 and 96 years. The average fracture management time was 4.04 days. Etiologies were dominated by road traffic accidents (52.00%), followed by domestic accidents (falls) (44.00%). Merchants and housewives were the most affected (32.00%). According to the Ender classification, type III fractures (n = 15;60.00%) were the most common, followed by type VII (n = 4;16.00%). The procedure was performed 23 times (92.00%) under spinal anesthesia, 2 times (8.00%) under general anesthesia. The average hospital stay was 9.6 days. The mean operative time was 105.6 min, with extremes ranging from 90 to 120 min. The mean time to consolidation was 14.88 weeks, with extremes of twelve and twenty weeks. Comorbidities included hypertension and diabetes. The majority of patients (76.00%) had good anterior autonomy according to the Parker index. The mean index was 8.2 [standard deviation ±1.8]. We noted three cases of post-operative death (12.00%). We evaluated nineteen patients with a mean follow-up of 24 months, and the functional results according to Postel and Merle d’Aubigné scores were excellent in 42.10% (n = 8), good in 52.63% (n = 10), and fair in 5.2% (n = 1). Conclusion: The DHS dynamic screw-plate has enabled us to achieve good radiological and functional results, enabling us to resume daily activities as quickly as possible. It appears to be a reliable solution for trochanteric fractures. It can be performed without an image intensifier, provided we are aware of its limitations.展开更多

Methods: From January 2022 to December 2023, 70 patients with traumatic fractures of long bones in the lower extremities were admitted to the hospital and randomly divided into two groups: the control group and the observation group, each consisting of 35 cases. The control group underwent traditional closed interlocking intramedullary nailing, while the observation group received internal fixation with steel plates and screws. Relevant surgical indicators, treatment effectiveness, and postoperative complication rates were compared between the two groups. Results: The observation group exhibited significantly short surgical duration (80.65 ± 5.01 vs. 88.36 ± 5.26 minutes), fracture healing time (13.27 ± 0.32 vs. 15.52 ± 0.48 weeks), and hospitalization days (10.49 ± 1.13 vs. 16.57 ± 1.15 days) compared to the control group (P = 0.000). The effective treatment rate was significantly higher in the observation group (29/82.86%) than in the control group (21/60.00%), with a significant difference observed (χ2 = 4.480, P = 0.034). Additionally, the complication rate in the observation group (2/5.71%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (8/22.86%), with a correlated difference (χ2 = 4.200, P = 0.040). Conclusion: The plate screw internal fixation technique demonstrates significant clinical efficacy in treating traumatic fractures of long bones in the lower extremities. It improves the healing rate, reduces complications, and represents a safe and effective treatment strategy worthy of widespread use and application.展开更多

Methods: patients with calcaneal fractures admitted to our hospital and confirmed for surgical treatment were selected. All patients were comminuted fractures and met the requirements of surgical indications. The cases were selected from June 2018 to June 2020, and the conventional group took incision reduction surgery based on L-type incision. The experimental group performed minimally invasive plate internal fixation with plate screws according to the posterior heel or the tarsal sinus incision position. When observed after the operation, the items involved included the function of the heel, the recovery status of the calcaneus, the surgery-related indicators, and the complications occurring during and after the surgery. Results: the patients of the experimental group were significantly higher than the height. Bolher and Gissen angle were better than the conventional group in March and June, P <0.05;the time, bleeding volume, incision length, hospitalization time and related complications were significantly better than the conventional group, P <0.05. Conclusion: minimally invasive plate and screw internal fixation can effectively treat comminuted calcaneal fracture, which has a significant effect on the foot and ankle function, and obviously acts on the fracture site and function.展开更多

Our study aims to study the epidemiological and therapeutic aspects of PSA of the diaphysis of long bones. Method: This retrospective work concerns 30 cases of non-union of the diaphysis of long bones treated in the orthopedic and trauma surgery department at Donka National Hospital, during a period of 18 months from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Results: We recruited 30 patients, 80% of whom were male, with an average age of 39.9 years. Public road accidents (AVP) represented the main cause of fractures of the diaphysis of long bones 87%, they were open in 25 cases or 83%. The fractures were located in the middle 1/3 of the diaphysis of the long bones in 50% of cases. Treatment of initial fractures was traditional in 21 cases, orthopedic in 2 cases and surgical in 7 cases. It was aseptic nonunion in 28 cases (93%) and septic nonunion in 2 cases. They were hypertrophic in 7 cases, slightly hypertrophic in 5 cases, oligotrophic in 11 cases, atrophic in 6 cases and with bone defect in 1 case. The treatment was based on osteosynthesis including 16 cases of screwed “PV” plate: 7 cases of centromedullary “ECM” nailing, 2 cases of external fixator, 1 case of broaching and 4 cases of Plastering. The results according to ASAMI criteria on an anatomical level were excellent in 19 cases, good in 3 cases and poor in 3 cases, with a union rate of 76%. And 5 patients undergoing consolidation. Conclusion: Based on the literature data and the experience of our department, the true treatment of PSA requires correct management of the initial fracture without forgetting the interest in preventing AVP which appears to be an element essential, making it possible to reduce the incidence of fractures of the diaphysis.展开更多
