Purpose.To evaluate whether subacromial osteolysis, one of the major complications of the clavicle hook plate procedure, affects shoulder function.Methods.We had performed a retrospective study of 72 patients diagnosed with a Neer II lateral clavicle fracture or Degree-III acromioclavicular joint dislocation in our hospital from July 2012 to December 2013. All these patients had undergone surgery with clavicle hook plate and were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of subacromial osteolysis. By using the Constant-Murley at the first follow-up visit after plates removal, we evaluated patients’ shoulder function to judge if it has been affected by subacromial osteolysis.Results.We have analyzed clinical data for these 72 patients, which shows that there is no significant difference between group A (39 patients) and group B (33 patients) in age, gender, injury types or side, and shoulder function (the Constant-Murley scores are93.38±3.56versus94.24±3.60,P>0.05).Conclusion.The occurrence of subacromial osteolysis is not rare, and also it does not significantly affect shoulder function.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes and complications of locking or nonlocking clavicular hook plate for fixation of unstable lateral clavicle fractures. All patients with unstable Neer type II lateral clavicle fractures were operated in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012. The included participants received either locking or nonlocking clavicular hook plate operations. Demographic data, medical records and radiographs were reviewed retrospectively. At the last follow-up, shoulder function was evaluated with Constant-Murley scoring system. Our findings suggest that locking clavicular hook plates are equally useful for treating unstable lateral clavicular fractures, but in face of complicated ones, the locking hook plate would not get more benefits than nonlocking hook plate.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to research the effect of different hook depths on the efficacy and complications of AC dislocation treatment with hook plate, and to provide valuable reference for clinical treatment.Method We retrospectively analyzed the prospectively collected data from 305 consecutive patients with AC joint dislocation between April 2013 and May 2017 at our institute. We defined〝hook tip depth〞as the position of the hook tip relative to the acromion at the coronal plane. According to the division where the tip of the hook was located, the cases were divided into Group A, Group B, Group C, and D group. All patients were required to conform to regular follow up postoperatively. Dislocation and implant maintenance are assessed by routine shoulder imaging. Functional results were evaluated using Constant-Murley criteria.Results A total of 305 cases were included in follow-up and 27 cases were lost. We used Constant-Murley criteria to evaluate functional results. The score of Group B was significantly higher than group A and group C (P<0.01). For evaluation of acromioclavicular joint reduction, we used CCD in imaging to evaluate. There was significant difference between the three groups. Joint reduction was obtained in all patients. Postoperative infection and hardware failure did not present. There were no fractures of acromion and coracoids process. There were 83 cases of shoulder pain, 93 cases of SIS and 124 cases of subacromial erosion. The incidence of complications in group A was significantly higher than group B and group C.Conclusions The relative position of the hook tip and acromion can significantly affect the efficacy and complications of the clavicular hook plate in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation. During surgery, we should control the depth of hook tip and try our best to put the tip of the hook into the area of group B to achieve an ideal postoperative effect and avoid the occurrence of various complications.

OBJECTIVE Posterior C1–2 fixation without fusion makes it possible to restore atlantoaxial motion after removing the implant, and it has been used as an alternative technique for odontoid fractures; however, the long-term efficacy of this technique remains uncertain. The purpose of the present study was to explore the long-term follow-up outcomes of patients with odontoid fractures who underwent posterior C1–2 fixation without fusion. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 62 patients with type II/III fresh odontoid fractures who underwent posterior C1–2 fixation without fusion and were followed up for more than 5 years. The patients were divided into group A (23 patients with implant removal) and group B (39 patients without implant removal) based on whether they underwent a second surgery to remove the implant. The clinical outcomes were recorded and compared between the two groups. In group A, the range of motion (ROM) of C1–2 was calculated, and correlation analysis was performed to explore the factors that influence the ROM of C1–2. RESULTS A solid fracture fusion was found in all patients. At the final follow-up, no significant difference was found in visual analog scale score or American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale score between the two groups (p > 0.05), but patients in group A had a lower Neck Disability Index score and milder neck stiffness than did patients in group B (p < 0.05). In group A, 87.0% (20/23) of the patients had atlantoodontoid joint osteoarthritis at the final follow-up. In group A, the C1–2 ROM in rotation was 6.1° ± 4.5° at the final follow-up, whereas the C1–2 ROM in flexion-extension was 1.8° ± 1.2°. A negative correlation was found between the C1–2 ROM in rotation and the severity of tissue injury in the atlantoaxial region (r = –0.403, p = 0.024) and the degeneration of the atlantoodontoid joint (r = –0.586, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Posterior C1–2 fixation without fusion can be used effectively for the management of fresh odontoid fractures. The removal of the implant can further improve the clinical efficacy, but satisfactory atlantoaxial motion cannot be maintained for a long time after implant removal. A surgeon should reconsider the contribution of posterior C1–2 fixation without fusion and secondary implant removal in preserving atlantoaxial mobility for patients with fresh odontoid fractures.

Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: Kirschner-wires fixation, sometimes we have encountered pin irritation or pull-out. This is the reason why we consider additional fixation. Moreover, there are few reports according to comparison of fixation method, and Most of them focused on comparison K-wires or screw fixation only. Purpose of study is to compare clinical and radiographic outcome between Kirschner-wires only and combined screw fixation. Methods: The study included two different groups according to fixation methods. One with Kirschner-wires fixation (KW group) included 117 feet(of 98 patients), the other with combined screw fixation (KWS group) 56 feet (of 40 patients) with moderate to severe hallux valgus. Clinically, the preoperative and final follow-up visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, the preoperative and final follow-up American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux metatarsophalangeal (MTP)-interphalangeal (IP) scores, and patient satisfaction after the surgery were evaluated. Radiographically, the hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), medial sesamoid position (MSP), and first to fifth metatarsal width (1-5MTW) were analyzed before and after surgery. Results: The mean AOFAS score improved preoperative 65.5 to 95.3 at final follow up in group A, while preoperative 56.5 to 88.6 at final follow up. Pain VAS decreased from 5.7 to 0.5 in group A, whereas from 6.2 to 1.6 in group B. The mean HVA all improved from preoperative 38.5 to 9.3 at final follow up in group A and 34.7 to 9.1 in group B. The mean IMA and MSP also improved significantly at final follow up. In comparative analysis, the IMA did not show significant difference between postoperative and final state in group A, while showed significant increase in group B. Conclusion: We achieved favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes with minimal complications in patient with moderate to severe hallux valgus in both groups. However, this study shows no statistically significant difference in IMA during follow-up period and lower recurrence rate. Therefore we need to consider combined fixation method to provide better stability and can expect lower recurrence rate.

The data was analysed by using ‘student “t” test/ non-parametric ‘Wilcoxon Mann Whitney’ for quantitative variables to evaluate the safety, efficacy and acceptability.Results: Mean age was 24.99 years (range: 19-35years), All women were married (off which 64% literate) and Mean parity in group A was 1.97 and 2.06 in group B. Mean pain score during intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) insertion on visual analogue scale was 2.93 in group A and 3 in group B and was not statistically different. 84% women completed 12 months follow up in group A and 83.33% women in group B. Strings were visible in 74% women in group A and in 34% women in group B at 1 month of IUCD insertion. Visibility of strings increased in successive follow up visits and was visible in >80% of women at the end of one year in the both groups. String visibility after intra-Caesarean insertion was delayed. Fifty one percent (n=77) subjects in group A and 54% (n=81) in group B experienced amenorrhea up to six months. Menorrhagia was reported in 7.33% in group A and women 8.66% in group B at the end of 1 year of follow up. Pain was complained by 26 out of 150 (17.3%) women in group A as compared to 36 out of 150 (24%) women in group B after 1 month of insertion. There was no case of PID in group A whereas there were 3 cases of PID in group B. There was no perforation/trauma and pregnancy in either group.Conclusions: Overall expulsion rate was 13% and removal rate was 5% in our study. Continuation rate was 83.3% in Cu 375 and 80.6% in CuT380A at 12 months. There was no significant difference between the IUCDs regarding the safety, efficacy and complications such as expulsion, bleeding etc.

Abstract Background: At present, there is a higher complication rate after treatment of femoral neck fractures with three parallel hollow nails (PHN) in the young Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fractures.For better effect,F-shape hollow nails(FHN) is used to treat femoral neck fractures.The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of FHN and PHN and provide reference for clinical application.Methods: Thirty-eight consecutive patients admitted from January 2017 to January 2020 were selected for the study. According to random number table method, the patients were divided into two groups:group A (FHN) and group B (PHN). The gender, age, BMI, comorbidities, time from injury to operation and other general preoperative demographics were not statistically different (P>0.05). The data of the two groups can be comparable.The occurrence of avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head (AVN), femoral neck shortening, hollow screw withdrawal was recorded in follow-up.Then, Harris hip score (HHS), pain visual analog score (VAS) of two group were obtained at the last follow-up. Results: The mean follow-up period after surgery was 21.4±10.1 (range, 14–29) months. There were 18 cases(mean age, 47.5±9.6) in group A, 20 cases (mean age, 48.6±10.1) in group B. There was no significant difference between the two groups in AVN, femoral neck shortening (P>0.05), the two groups had statistically significant differences in screw withdrawal (F=4.416, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in HHS and VAS between the two groups at the last follow-up (P>0.05).Conclusion: Three parallel hollow nails (PHN) and F-shape hollow nails (FHN) have similar short-term effects in the young Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fractures, but the nail withdrawal rate of FNH is lower.

The goal of this study is to present the multiple institutions experience comparing the outcome of management between initial laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) surgeon and specialist as well as the outcome of different operative procedures to major bile duct injury (BDI) after LC. We have retrospectively collected data of 77 cases of perioperatively detected major BDI in LC at 15 general surgical institutions from 1997 to 2007. We classified 42 cases treated by an experienced biliary surgeon as Group A and 35 cases treated by the initial LC surgeon as Group B. Forty-eight cases were treated with duct-to-duct anastomosis as Group C and 29 cases were treated with Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy as Group D. The median duration of follow-up was 62 months. The outcome of groups was compared. In Group A, 7 of 42 (16.7%) patients developed a failure. Two of seven (28.6%) patients were treated by a secondary operation. In Group B, 24 of 35 (68.6%) patients developed a failure. Seventeen of 24 (70.8%) patients were treated by a secondary operation. One of 35 (2.85%) patients died. The significant differences were observed in failure and secondary operations (16.7 vs 68.6%, P < 0.01 and 28.6 vs 70.8%, P < 0.01). There is no significant difference Group C and Group D in failure rate (28.5 vs 11.7%, P > 0.05). A multiple institutional cooperative methodology between the local surgical institution and tertiary care centers provided a good way to limit further operations, failure. The reconstructive strategy is important and should be selected according to the type of injury and the diagnosed status of major BDI.

Abstract Background and Aims Diabetes is rapidly increasing in prevalence worldwide and surgery in patients with diabetic foot is becoming more common. Foot complications are a major cause of admissions in diabetic patients, and comprise a disproportionately high number of hospital days because of multiple surgical procedures and prolonged length of stay in hospital. Diabetic foot is an umbrella term for foot problems in patients with diabetes mellitus. Foot disorders such as ulceration, infection and gangrene are the most common, complex and costly sequelae of diabetes mellitus. The optimal therapy for diabetic foot ulcers remains ill-defined. Saline-moistened gauze has been the standard method; however, it has been difficult to continuously maintain a moist wound environment with these dressings. This has led to the development of various hydrocolloid wound gels, which provided more consistent moisture retention. Refinements in topical ointments have resulted in the addition of various pharmacological agents including growth factors and enzymatic debridement compounds. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and culture skin substitutes are other wound therapies that have been advocated. All these therapies are associated with significant expense and are being utilized in some situations without sufficient scientific evidence demonstrating their efficacy. Therefore, the search for an efficacious, convenient and cost-effective therapy continues. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is a newer noninvasive adjunctive therapy system that uses controlled negative pressure using Vacuum-Assisted Closure device (VAC) to help promote wound healing by removing fluid from open wounds through a sealed dressing and tubing which is connected to a collection container. The use of sub-atmospheric pressure dressings, available commercially as a VAC device, has been shown to be an effective way to accelerate healing of various wounds. This was aimed to compare wound outcome, limb salvage, and cost effectiveness between Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and Standard moist wound therapy (SMWT) in management of diabetic non ischemic foot ulcers. Methods we performed a cohort study involving 30 patients with active diabetic foot ulcers, in a high volume tertiary referral vascular center. They were divided into 2 groups: 15 patients (group A) were prescribed NPWT and the other 15 patients (group B) received SMWD. During follow up visits, progress of healing was evaluated and documented in the form of change in wound diameter, depth, up or down scaling along UTWC, wound status at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks and 4 weekly thereafter till complete epithelialization. Results As regard to ulcer depth there were statistically significant difference between the 2 groups during follow up duration of the study after 4 weeks with group A showing faster decrease in ulcer depth than group B denoting faster formation of granulation tissue. As regard to complete granulation of ulcer there were statistically significant difference between the 2 groups during follow up duration of the study markedly shown after 6 weeks with group A showing complete ulcer granulation faster than group B, with statistically significant difference as regard to number of days on dressing and follow up duration in weeks between the 2 groups with group A showing lesser number of days on dressing and shorter follow up duration in weeks than group B. Conclusion NPWT has a definitive role in promotion of proliferation of granulation tissue, reduction in the wound size, by and rapid clearing of bacterial load. Our data demonstrates that negative pressure wound dressings decrease the wound size more effectively than saline gauze dressings over the first 4 weeks of therapy. It is suggested that NPWT is a cost-effective, easy to use and patient-friendly method of treating diabetic foot ulcers which helps in early closure of wounds, preventing complications and hence promising a better outcome.

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of different dexamethasone eye drops formulations in controlling postoperative inflammation. Methods: Cataract surgery was carried out in 72 patients (35 males) divided into two groups: group A (36 patients, mean age = 78.0 ± 5.6) received four times daily for 2 weeks a suspension containing tobramycin 0.3% mg/ml + dexamethasone 0.1% mg/ml, and group B (36 patients, mean age = 76.2 ± 6.8) a solution containing tobramycin 0.3% mg/ml + dexamethasone 0.1% mg/ml. Both groups received ofloxacin 0.5% four times daily for 7 days, and nepafenac 0.1% three times daily for 3 weeks. Best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, corneal thickness, endothelial cells count, aqueous flare and macular thickness were evaluated preoperatively and at 1 day, 15 days, 1 and 2 months. Results: In group A, intraocular pressure, corneal thickness and aqueous humour flare values preoperatively and at the end of follow-up were 14.3 ± 1.8 and 13.2 ± 1.8 mmHg, 546.4 ± 34.6 and 539.6 ± 36.1 µm, 11.84 ± 4.44 and 13.52 ± 5.54 ph/ms, respectively, with no statistically significant difference. In group B, intraocular pressure, corneal thickness and aqueous humour flare values preoperatively and at the end of follow-up were 14.3 ± 1.5 and 13.1 ± 1.7 mmHg, 552.9 ± 37.4 and 548.1 ± 39.3 µm, 11.45 ± 4.06 and 13.73 ± 4.99 ph/ms, respectively, with no statistically significant difference. No difference was detected in the macular thickness values in the parafoveal area preoperatively and at 2 months follow-up in group A (332.18 ± 16.19 and 337.71 ± 16.33 µm) and group B (329.11 ± 18.28 and 334.37 ± 20.86 µm), respectively. Conclusion: The two different formulations of dexamethasone eye drops reached the same anti-inflammatory effects.
