The paper introduced bone graft nourished by venous blood, compared with vascularized and conventional bone graft in the animal experiment. B、h(?)ological, radiological methods and tatracycline labeling, the results confirmed that the bone gra(?) nourished by venous blood is inferior to the vascularized bone graft, but is significantly superior to the conventional bone graft in the survival amount, vitality of osteocytes and bone union. The survival mechanism and practicality of bone graft nourished by venous blood were preliminarily discussed in the paper.
Objective To compare the effectiveness of arthroscopic osteochondral autologous transplantation (OAT) in the treatment of young and middle-aged patients with the articular cartilage injury. MethodsA clinical data of 43 patients (43 knees) with articular cartilage injury, who underwent OAT between January 2008 and August 2016, was retrospectively analyzed. There were 23 patients aged 20-40 years (young group) and 20 patients aged 40-60 years (middle-aged group). The difference in age between the two groups was significant (t=14.120, P=0.001). There was no significant difference in gender, body mass index, complications, affected side, lesion site, lesion area, and the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) grade of cartilage injury between the two groups (P>0.05). The function of knee joint was evaluated by Lysholm score and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score during the follow-up. MRI examination was performed to observe the repair of both receiving and the donor sites. ResultsAll the incisions in the two groups were healed by first intention. All patients in the two groups were followed up with an average of 3.6 years (range, 2-8 years). At 2 years after operation, the Lysholm and IKDC scores were significantly improved in the two groups when compared with the preoperative scores (P<0.05). The Lysholm and IKDC scores in the young group were significantly better than those in the middle-aged group before operation and at 2 years after operation (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the differences of the Lysholm and IKDC scores between pre- and post-operation between the two groups (P>0.05). The MRI examination at 2 years after operation showed that both receiving and the donor sites healed well in the two groups. ConclusionAccording to the texture, thickness, elasticity, and lesion area of the cartilage, arthroscopic OAT might be the first choice for the articular cartilage injury in middle-aged patients and can obtain the satisfactory short-term effectiveness.
Six cases of maxillary tumors after being resccted radically, a primary repair of the maxillary defects were carried out by grafting of the pedicled buccal fat pad as the oral linning combined with bone graft. The cases were followed from 8 to 14 months. The function of the maxillary sinuses was normal and the facial contour was restored symmetrical. The applied anatomy and the method of operation were introduced in details. The advantages of the method were discussed.
ObjectiveTo study the clinical efficacy of core decompression and allogeneic nonvascularized fibular grafting on patients with different femoral head necrotic area. MethodsBetween January 2010 and December 2011, 59 hips in 59 patients with Ficat stage Ⅱ osteonecrosis of femoral head were treated with core decompression and allogeneic nonvascularized fibular grafting. Fifty-four patients (54 hips) were followed up. According to the necrotic area of femoral head, patients were divided into three groups: 6 hips in type A, 37 hips in type B and 11 hips in type C. We analyzed the outcomes by changes in radiographic images, Harris hip scores, hip activity and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores. The mean follow-up time was 40.1 months. ResultsThe postoperative X-ray images were good with no fibula prolapse, fracture or infection. Six femoral heads collapsed in patients of type C group. No head collapsed in patients grouped into type A or type B. The three groups' Harris hip scores were better than those before surgery (P<0.05). But the Harris hip score of patients with femoral head collapse was as bad as that before surgery (P>0.05). The Harris score of group C was significantly lower than group A and B (P<0.01). The joint movements of type A and type B patients were similar with those before surgery, and the VAS pain score was lower. But patients of type C suffered worse joint movement and the pain was not relieved. ConclusionThe clinical efficacy of femoral head necrotic patients treated with core decompression and allogeneic nonvascularized fibular grafting is generally good. But the risk of femoral head collapse in type C patients is high, and the clinic outcome is worse than patients of type A and B. Therefore this type of surgery is more suitable for patients with type A and B femoral head necrotic area.
Objective To study the reparative and reconstructive for proximal humerus defect due to the excision of bone tumor with noninternal fixation non-vascularised fibular autografts. Methods From June 1991 toDecember 2003, 26 non-vascularised fibular grafts were used as substitutes for repair and reconstruction after resection for bone tumors on proximal humerus. Fifteen cases were given curettage and fibular supporting internal fixation, the other 11 cases were given tumor resection and joint reconstruction with proximal fibular graft. The age ranged from 6 to 41 years. Out of 26 patients, 5 had giant cell tumor, 9 had bone cysts, 8 had fibrous dysplasia and 4 had enchondroma. Results Twenty-six patients were followed up from 1 to 12 years (3.4 years on average). Local recurrence was found in 2 cases, and 1 of them died of lung metastasis. Both outlook and function of the reconstructed joints have good results in 15 proximal humeral joint surface reserved cases. Of them, 3 children gained normal shoulder function 3 weeks after operation. Part function were obtained in the other 11 fibular grafts substituted proximal humeral defect. Conclusion Non-vascularised fibular grafts is an appropriate treatment option for proximal humerus bone defect due to excision of bone tumor.
Objective To explore an effective way fortreating severe complicated distal femoral fractures. Methods Twenty-six patients with complicated distal femoral fracture who all belonged to 33C3.3type according to AO/ASIF lassification, were treated with a lateral condylar buttress plate or self-desinged aliform anatomical plate, and operated on with allogeneic bone grafting. Results All cases were followed up for an average of 14 months (ranging 5-25 months). Twenty-four wounds were primary healing postoperatively, 2 wounds were infected and healed after dressing change. Twenty-four had bone healing after 411 months, 2 needed to operate again because of earlier weight-bearing resulting in fixation failure. According to shelbourne and Brueckmann score, the excellent and good rate was 88.46%. Conclusion The internal fixation forcomplicated distal femoral fracture by self-designed aliform anatomical plate and lateral condylar buttress plate with a great deal of allograft bone is an effective surgical method. As it has long oval holes and the holes are consecutive ,the aliform anatomical plate is more suitable for severe complicated fractures. At the same time, autogenous-ilium transplantation can be substituted by the allograft bone.
