We wanted to analyze the effect of cyclosporin A on fracture healing and on the development of trauma induced osteopenia.Methods: Experimental tibia fractures were stabilised with intramedullary pins in 26 rabbits. The animals were given 5mg/kg/day of cyclosporin A or placebo for 5 weeks. Bone mineral content, callus volume and biomechanical testing were performed on both tibias and femurs.Results: At 5 weeks cyclosporin A treatment resulted in increased bone mineral content and increased callus volume of the fractured bone. The femora on the operated side had significantly lower bone mineral content compared to the non-operated side. This trauma induced osteopenia was unaffected by cyclosporin A treatment. Failure torque and stiffness of the tibia and femora were similar in both groups.Interpretation: Cyclosporin A stimulates bone formation in fracture repair. The mechanism is unclear, but a direct or cytokine mediated effect on bone forming cells, or enhanced bone induction resulting in increased bone formation, is possible.展开更多

The current review aims to compare the outcomes of adult tibia fractures treated with solid nails to those treated with hollow nails. Methods: A search on Scopus, PubMed, and Cochrane Library, using three keywords (Outcome, Tibia shaft fractures, Nail) was conducted in April 2023. Results were compiled and two independent reviewers screened and selected eligible articles After removing duplicates, titles and abstracts were read to exclude ineligible studies. Full-text articles of the remaining papers were read to select eligible studies which were further critically appraised to ascertain their methodological quality. The data extracted from the selected papers were synthesized using a combination of pooling of results, tests of statistical difference (t-test and chi-square) and narrative synthesis methods. Results: A total of 2295 articles were obtained from the databases and citation searching. A total of 9 papers were identified as eligible and included in the review. Findings revealed that there is no statistical difference in the outcomes of tibia fractures treated with either solid or hollow nail groups such as duration of surgery (p = 0.541), rate of delayed and non-union (p = 0.342), and rate of surgical site infections (p = 0.395). Conclusion: Intramedullary nailing of tibia shaft fractures with either solid or hollow nails have similar functional outcomes.展开更多

Early intervention is the key for management. We hereby present an interesting case of simultaneous proximal tibiofibular physeal injury with popliteal arterial occlusion and common peroneal nerve injury. The present case is important in two aspects： firstly it reports a very rare occurrence of simultaneous proximal tibiofibular physeal injury associated with vascular insult and common peroneal nerve injury; secondly it highlights that with timely intervention excellent results can be achieved in paediatric patients.展开更多

文摘Purpose: Drugs that modify the production of cytokines may affect fracture healing.The immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A is widely used to modify the immune response in transplantations and in treatment of rheumatoid disorders. We wanted to analyze the effect of cyclosporin A on fracture healing and on the development of trauma induced osteopenia.Methods: Experimental tibia fractures were stabilised with intramedullary pins in 26 rabbits.

Bone mineral content, callus volume and biomechanical testing were performed on both tibias and femurs.Results: At 5 weeks cyclosporin A treatment resulted in increased bone mineral content and increased callus volume of the fractured bone. The femora on the operated side had significantly lower bone mineral content compared to the non-operated side. This trauma induced osteopenia was unaffected by cyclosporin A treatment. Failure torque and stiffness of the tibia and femora were similar in both groups.Interpretation: Cyclosporin A stimulates bone formation in fracture repair. The mechanism is unclear, but a direct or cytokine mediated effect on bone forming cells, or enhanced bone induction resulting in increased bone formation, is possible.

Results: the inflammatory indexes and clinical effects of the patients in the study group were better than those in the reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: in the treatment of patients with limb swelling before tibiofibular fracture, the use of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine can improve the inflammatory index of patients and improve the clinical efficacy, which is worthy of promotion.
文摘Either proximal tibial or tibial physeal injuries are rare. The combination of both is even rarer, let alone causes a vascular injury. Early intervention is the key for management. We hereby present an interesting case of simultaneous proximal tibiofibular physeal injury with popliteal arterial occlusion and common peroneal nerve injury. The present case is important in two aspects： firstly it reports a very rare occurrence of simultaneous proximal tibiofibular physeal injury associated with vascular insult and common peroneal nerve injury; secondly it highlights that with timely intervention excellent results can be achieved in paediatric patients.
文摘Purpose The poor prognosis in patients with floating knee injuries is mainly contributed to articular involvement(Fraser’s typeⅡ).This study aims to evaluate and compare the functional outcomes among different Fraser’s typeⅡfloating knee injuries after surgical management.Methods Twenty-seven patients with Fraser’s typeⅡfloating knee injuries(54 fractures)between September 2014 and December 2015 were enrolled prospectively in this study and were distributed according to Fraser’s floating knee classification into three different groups as typeⅡA(ipsilateral femoral shaft and tibial intra-articular involvement,n=11),typeⅡB(ipsilateral tibial shaft and femoral intra-articular involvement,n=9)and typeⅡC(both femoral and tibial intra-articular involvement,n=7).The differences among the groups were evaluated and compared.The functional outcomes of these injuries at one year were analyzed using Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score(KOOS)which covers 5 subscales of pain,other symptoms,activities of daily living,sports and recreation,and quality of life.The result was also compared with standardized age-sex matched healthy population using paired samples t-test.Results All the patients were male,and the injury mechanism was solely roadside accident.The mean age was 29.8 years and injury severity score 17.9(comparable in all the three groups).Most injuries were observed on the right side(20 cases,74.1%).Based on paired samples t-test,the KOOS score of patients with Fraser’s typeⅡA was found to be better than that of typeⅡB and typeⅡC.Compared with the reference age-sex matched control group,patients with Fraser’s typeⅡB andⅡC fractures had significantly lower mean score in all KOOS subscales(all p<0.01).However,Fraser’s typeⅡA only revealed significant difference regarding the subscales of activities of daily living(p<0.0001),sports and recreation(p<0.0001),and quality of life(p<0.0001).Conclusion The results of this study show that patients with Fraser’s typeⅡA fractures had a better functional outcome as compared to those with typeⅡB andⅡC fractures.This might be due to the open intra-articular involvement of the distal femur of the latter two fracture types.
