Methods: Sixty patients with facial comminuted fractures admitted for treatment between July 2023 and December 2024 were selected. Using a random number table method, 30 patients were assigned to the observation group, where moderate traction using a dental arch splint combined with rigid internal fixation was applied. Another 30 patients were assigned to the control group and only received dental arch splint traction treatment. The total effective rate, postoperative recovery indicators, periodontal status, complication rate, and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. The postoperative recovery indicators and periodontal status in the observation group were superior to those in the control group. The complication rate and quality of life score were lower in the observation group compared to the control group, with P < 0.05. Conclusion: Combining dental arch splint intermaxillary traction with rigid internal fixation can improve the periodontal status and quality of life of patients with facial comminuted fractures, shorten postoperative recovery time, reduce various complications, and enhance surgical efficacy.展开更多

However, lipids can be utilized to produce meat-like flavorings through reaction with amino acids after degradation to carbonyls such as aldehydes and ketones. The fatty acids in chicken fat mainly comprise palmitic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. After being heated at 120 ~C for 3 h, the degraded carbonyls of chicken fat were reacted with cysteine, alanine, glycine and thiamine to form a chicken-like flavoring. The key aromatic components of the flavoring were identified by GC-MS. In the overall volatile profile, 22 kinds of compound were detected, among which 2-furanmethanol was formed by the Maillard reaction, 1-（2-furanyl）-ethanone by cyclization and 2,4,6-trimethyl-l,3,5-trithiane by the Strecker degradation of cysteine. Dihydro-2-methyl-3（2H）-furanone, dihydro-2-methyl- 3（2H）-thiophenone, 2-acetyl-lH-pyrroline and 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol were the degradation products of thiamine. The prepared chicken flavoring was added to comminuted chicken product （CCP）. GC-MS analysis and sensory evaluation showed that the flavor and odor of the CCP were greatly enhanced.展开更多

In this retrospective, nonrandomized, single-surgeon study, we evaluated the clinical and radiologic outcomes of using both dorsal locking plates with or without augmentation with mineralized collagen （MC） bone graft for elderly patients with dorsally metaphyseal comminuted radius fractures. Patients in group 1 （n = 12） were treated with dorsal locking plates with MC bone graft application into the metaphyseal bone defect, and those in group 2 （n - 12） only with dorsal locking plates. Clinical and radiologic parameters were determined at three and 12 months after surgery. At final follow-up, no significant difference was noted between the 2 groups in terms of palmar tilt and radial inclination （p - 0.80）; however, ulnar variance increased significantly in the group 2 treated with dorsal locking plates without augmentation （p〈0.05）. Functionally, there was no significant difference between the groups. Our preliminary study suggests that combination of MC as bone-graft substitutes and dorsal locking plates may be a usefully alternative for elderly patients with metaphyseal comminuted distal radius fracture.展开更多

Closed reduction or open reduction with a small incision as well as a coupled exofixator was used to treat these patients. Results: All cases got anatomical reduction after 6-12 months follow-up. The time for fracture union averaged 5.8 months with a good functional recovery of the shoulder-elbow joints. Conclusions: The coupled exofixator is favorable to the treatment of comminuted humeral shaft fractures. It can shorten union time and avoid nonunion occurrence.展开更多

The conversion to total hip arthroplasty is possible in patients over 50 years of age but not in younger patients. So this requires new methods for salvage of the native hip in young patients. Methods： There were six patients in our series with highly comminuted posterior wall acetabular frac- tures where the fragments were excised and the gap filled with tricortical anterior iliac-crest strut autograff, fixed with screws and plate. Results： Good results were achieved in four out of six patients analyzed clinically using the Merle d＇Aubinge score modified by Matta and radiologically by Matta scoring. These patients have returned to original work and are walking independently. The good result in one patient deteriorated from good to poor between one and two years. One patient developed infection and excision arthroplasty was done, The graft incorporated well in five out of six patients. Conclusion： The use of iliac crest autograff is a better, advanced and promising technique as it provides a new wall to the weight bearing dome of the acetabulum for articulation with the femoral head. The rates of nonunion, malunion, post traumatic osteoarthritis are less as compared to the fixation of the comminuted fragments. The need for conversion to total hio arthroolastv is also less.展开更多

Methods: A retrospective review of 295 revision total hip operations performed between 1992 and 1998 was undertaken. Twenty hips of 19 patients with comminuted fractures or nonunion of the greater trochanter were stabilized with tension band technique. Multiple 2.0 mm k wires and tension band wires were placed through the intact cortex distally and the abductor tendon proximally in the pattern "8". Results: The average follow up was 30 months. The Harris Hip Score improved on average from 45 preoperatively to 89 at follow up. Sixteen hips with intra operative trochanteric fracture through osteolytic bone and four hips with symptomatic trochanteric nonunion were approached with tension band fixation. Perioperative loss of fixation in one patient required a repeated surgery. The same fixation at the second operation achieved an uneventful healing. Two patients had a 2 cm proximal migration of one K wire without loss of bony fixation. The trochanteric fractures healed with no further proximal wire migration. One patient had loss of fixation with trochanteric escape at 6 weeks post operatively. The patient has abductor weakness with Trendleburg limp but without pain. On average, radiographic examination showed that healing occurred at 16.6 weeks postoperatively. Six patients developed grade 1 heterotopic ossification and two patients grade 3. All were asymptomatic. None of the 19 patients experienced a dislocation during the follow up. Conclusions: Tension band fixation for greater trochanter can enhance the success rate of revision total hip arthroplasty without a deficient abductor mechanism.展开更多

文摘Lipid oxidation and degradation are generally recognized as unfavorable reactions in food processing. However, lipids can be utilized to produce meat-like flavorings through reaction with amino acids after degradation to carbonyls such as aldehydes and ketones. The fatty acids in chicken fat mainly comprise palmitic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. After being heated at 120 ~C for 3 h, the degraded carbonyls of chicken fat were reacted with cysteine, alanine, glycine and thiamine to form a chicken-like flavoring. The key aromatic components of the flavoring were identified by GC-MS. In the overall volatile profile, 22 kinds of compound were detected, among which 2-furanmethanol was formed by the Maillard reaction, 1-（2-furanyl）-ethanone by cyclization and 2,4,6-trimethyl-l,3,5-trithiane by the Strecker degradation of cysteine. Dihydro-2-methyl-3（2H）-furanone, dihydro-2-methyl- 3（2H）-thiophenone, 2-acetyl-lH-pyrroline and 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol were the degradation products of thiamine. The prepared chicken flavoring was added to comminuted chicken product （CCP）. GC-MS analysis and sensory evaluation showed that the flavor and odor of the CCP were greatly enhanced.

文摘Background Although the use of an intramedullary fibular allograft together with locking plate fixation can provide additional medial support and prevent varus malalignment in displaced proximal humeral fractures with promising results,the fibular autograft donor site often sustains significant trauma and cannot restore the articular surface of comminuted fractures.The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a locking plate and crest bone autologous graft for treating proximal humerus comminuted fractures.Methods We assessed the functional outcomes and complication rates in 40 patients with proximal humerus comminuted fractures.Eighteen patients were treated with a locking plate and an autologous crest bone graft （experimental group）,and 22 were treated with only the locking plate and no bone graft （control group）.Postoperative assessments included radiographic imaging,range of motion analysis,pain level based on the visual analogue scale （VAS）,and the SF-36 （Short Form （36） Health Survey）,as well as whether patients could retum to their previous occupation.Results All fractures healed both clinically and radiologically in the experimental group.There was no more than 2 mm collapse of the humeral head,and no osteonecrosis or screw penetration of the articular surface.In contrast,two patients had a nonunion in the control group,and they eventually accepted total shoulder replacements.The average time from surgery to radiographic union was significantly shorter in the experimental group （（4.66±1.63） months） compared with the control group （（5.98±1.57） months） （P ＜0.05）.For the experimental versus controls groups,the mean shoulder active flexion （148.00±18.59 vs.121.73±17.20） degrees,extension （49.00±2.22 vs.42.06±2.06） degrees,internal rotation （45.00±5.61 vs.35.00±3.55）degrees,external rotation （64.00±9.17 vs.52.14±5.73）degrees,and abduction （138.00±28.78 vs.105.95±15.66） degrees were all significantly higher （all P ＜0.001）.The median SF-36 in the experimental group （（88.00±5.71） points） was significantly higher than that of the control group （（69.45±9.45） points; P ＜0.001）.The median VAS pain level （mean rank,10.50） in the experimental group was lower than that （mean rank,47.19） of the control group （P ＜0.001）.All but one patient （17 of 18,94.4％） in the experimental group returned to their previous activities or occupations,and that one patient changed to a different occupation because of slight restrictions to activities.On the other hand,four patients could not return to their previous activities or occupations in the control group.Conclusion Locking plate fixation combined with an iliac crest bone graft is an effective technique for treating proximal humerus comminuted fractures.
文摘Bone graft may be needed to fill bone defect in elderly patients with a metaphyseal comminuted distal radius fracture. In this retrospective, nonrandomized, single-surgeon study, we evaluated the clinical and radiologic outcomes of using both dorsal locking plates with or without augmentation with mineralized collagen （MC） bone graft for elderly patients with dorsally metaphyseal comminuted radius fractures. Patients in group 1 （n = 12） were treated with dorsal locking plates with MC bone graft application into the metaphyseal bone defect, and those in group 2 （n - 12） only with dorsal locking plates. Clinical and radiologic parameters were determined at three and 12 months after surgery. At final follow-up, no significant difference was noted between the 2 groups in terms of palmar tilt and radial inclination （p - 0.80）; however, ulnar variance increased significantly in the group 2 treated with dorsal locking plates without augmentation （p〈0.05）. Functionally, there was no significant difference between the groups. Our preliminary study suggests that combination of MC as bone-graft substitutes and dorsal locking plates may be a usefully alternative for elderly patients with metaphyseal comminuted distal radius fracture.
文摘Purpose:Comminuted intraarticular distal radial fractures are difficult to treat conservatively and require operative treatment.This study compared the functional outcomes between variable angle volar plating and external fixator with K-wire augmentation in open reduction and internal fixation.Methods:A total of 62 adult patients with comminuted intraarticular distal radius fracture were randomized into 2 groups:volar plate group and external fixator group.These patients aged between 18 and 60 years had unilateral fractures,and agreed to be included in the study.Patients with a history of fracture,bilateral fracture,associated other injuries,delayed injury for more than 2 weeks,open fracture,pre-existing arthrosis or disability,psychiatric illness and pathological fracture were excluded.Patients were followed up at 6 weeks,3 months,6 months and 1 year.The assessment of pain,functional activity,range of motion and grip strength was done at each stage of follow-up.The pain and functional activities were assessed by patient rated wrist evaluation(PRWE)score and disabilities of the arm,shoulder and hand(DASH)score.Results:Patients in volar plate group had superior PRWE score and DASH score at each stage of followup.At 1 year follow-up,the mean PRWE score were 7.48 for volar plate group and 7.35 for external fixator group;while the mean DASH score was 4.65 for volar plate group and 5.61 for external fixator group.They had better flexion and extension range of movement.They also had better pronation and supination range of motion at initial follow-up,however the difference get attenuated by 1 year.Volar plate group had significantly better grip strength than external fixator group.Complication rates were higher in external fixation group.Conclusion:Fixation with variable angle volar plate results in early wrist mobilization,better range of movement,less pain and disability and early return of function.
文摘Objective: To report and assess the efficacy of a coupled exofixator in the treatment of comminuted fracture of the humeral shaft.Methods: From June 1999 to September 2003, 24 patients with comminuted fracture of the humeral shaft were treated in our department, in whom 11 were involved in left humerus fractures and 13 in right humerus fractures. Closed reduction or open reduction with a small incision as well as a coupled exofixator was used to treat these patients. Results: All cases got anatomical reduction after 6-12 months follow-up. The time for fracture union averaged 5.8 months with a good functional recovery of the shoulder-elbow joints. Conclusions: The coupled exofixator is favorable to the treatment of comminuted humeral shaft fractures. It can shorten union time and avoid nonunion occurrence.
文摘Purpose： The results for fixation of comminuted posterior wall acetabular fractures are not very promising with reported complications in terms of osteoarthritis, nonunion and malunion which subsequently require conversion to total hip arthroplasty. The conversion to total hip arthroplasty is possible in patients over 50 years of age but not in younger patients. So this requires new methods for salvage of the native hip in young patients. Methods： There were six patients in our series with highly comminuted posterior wall acetabular frac- tures where the fragments were excised and the gap filled with tricortical anterior iliac-crest strut autograff, fixed with screws and plate. Results： Good results were achieved in four out of six patients analyzed clinically using the Merle d＇Aubinge score modified by Matta and radiologically by Matta scoring. These patients have returned to original work and are walking independently. The good result in one patient deteriorated from good to poor between one and two years. One patient developed infection and excision arthroplasty was done, The graft incorporated well in five out of six patients. Conclusion： The use of iliac crest autograff is a better, advanced and promising technique as it provides a new wall to the weight bearing dome of the acetabulum for articulation with the femoral head. The rates of nonunion, malunion, post traumatic osteoarthritis are less as compared to the fixation of the comminuted fragments. The need for conversion to total hio arthroolastv is also less.
文摘Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of the treatment of comminuted trochanteric fractures and trochanteric osteotomy non union in revision total hip arthroplasty with tension band fixation. Methods: A retrospective review of 295 revision total hip operations performed between 1992 and 1998 was undertaken. Twenty hips of 19 patients with comminuted fractures or nonunion of the greater trochanter were stabilized with tension band technique. Multiple 2.0 mm k wires and tension band wires were placed through the intact cortex distally and the abductor tendon proximally in the pattern "8". Results: The average follow up was 30 months. The Harris Hip Score improved on average from 45 preoperatively to 89 at follow up. Sixteen hips with intra operative trochanteric fracture through osteolytic bone and four hips with symptomatic trochanteric nonunion were approached with tension band fixation. Perioperative loss of fixation in one patient required a repeated surgery. The same fixation at the second operation achieved an uneventful healing. Two patients had a 2 cm proximal migration of one K wire without loss of bony fixation. The trochanteric fractures healed with no further proximal wire migration. One patient had loss of fixation with trochanteric escape at 6 weeks post operatively. The patient has abductor weakness with Trendleburg limp but without pain. On average, radiographic examination showed that healing occurred at 16.6 weeks postoperatively. Six patients developed grade 1 heterotopic ossification and two patients grade 3. All were asymptomatic. None of the 19 patients experienced a dislocation during the follow up. Conclusions: Tension band fixation for greater trochanter can enhance the success rate of revision total hip arthroplasty without a deficient abductor mechanism.
文摘目的探讨植骨联合锁定钢板固定对肱骨近端粉碎性骨折患者术后康复的影响。方法选取2022年1月至2024年7月在武警江西总队医院接受手术治疗的84例肱骨近端粉碎性骨折患者作为研究对象,采用随机数字表法分为常规组(n=42)与联合组(n=42)。联合组采用植骨联合锁定钢板固定术治疗,常规组行单一锁定钢板内固定术治疗。比较两组患者的围手术期指标、肩关节功能、肩关节活动、生活质量、并发症。结果与常规组比较,联合组患者的术中失血量高,手术时间长,骨折愈合时间、住院时间短,术后引流量较低(P<0.05);联合组患者的肩关节功能优良率高于常规组(P<0.05);两组术后3个月时的关节前屈、内旋、外展、外旋活动较术前高,且联合组患者活动度高于常规组(P<0.05);术后3个月时两组患者的健康调查简表(36-item short form health survey,SF-36)评分均高于术前,且联合组SF-36评分高于常规组(P<0.05);与常规组比较,联合组患者的并发症总发生率较低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论肱骨近端粉碎性骨折接受植骨联合锁定钢板固定治疗安全性更高,可缩短住院时间和骨折愈合时间,促进肩关节功能改善,提高患者肩关节活动和生活质量。
文摘Radial head(RH)arthroplasty(RHA)has emerged as a critical intervention in the management of complex elbow fractures,particularly Mason type III and IV injuries where the native RH is irreparable.Beyond its role in pain relief and joint congruity,RHA serves as a biomechanical cornerstone for restoring the lateral column and ensuring elbow stability,especially in the presence of associated ligamentous injuries or fracture-dislocations.This editorial synthesizes current evidence on RHA in Mason type III and IV RH fractures,with attention to biomechanical rationale,implant design,and complication trends.Aiming to reaffirm RHA’s position as a vital tool in contemporary elbow trauma care,a simplified treatment algorithm is presented to support individualized surgical decisionmaking.
