  • Short-term effectiveness comparison of unipedicular versus bipedicular percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with posterior wall broken

    ObjectiveTo compare the short-term effectiveness and safety of unipedicular versus bipedicular percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) with posterior wall broken.MethodsThe clinical data of 68 patients with OVCF with posterior wall broken and without posterior ligament complex injury and spinal cord nerve injury between June 2013 and December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different operative approaches, the patients were divided into two groups: group A (36 cases received PKP via bilateral pedicle puncture) and group B (32 cases received PKP via unilateral pedicle paracentesis). There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, age, fracture vertebra distribution, time from injury to operation, preoperative pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry disability index (ODI), and height of injured vertebra (P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, and bone cement volume were recorded and compared between the two groups. The VAS score and ODI score were used to evaluate the effectiveness before operation, at 1 day and 6 months after operation; the height of injured vertebra was measured on the lateral X-ray film, and the recovery height of injured vertebra at 1 day after operation and the loss height of injured vertebra at 6 months after operation were calculated; the intraoperative and postoperative complications of the two groups were recorded.ResultsThe operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, and bone cement volume of group B were significantly less than those of group A (P<0.05). All patients were followed up 10-35 months, with an average of 18 months. During the operation, there were 2 cases (5.56%) of cement leakage in group A and 9 cases (28.13%) in group B, showing significant difference (χ2=4.808, P=0.028). There was no adverse reactions of bone cement, iatrogenic spinal cord injury, infection of puncture port, or other complications in the two groups. During the follow-up period, there were 3 cases (8.3%) of adjacent vertebral fractures in group A and 2 cases (6.3%) in group B, showing no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=0.027, P=0.869). The height of injured vertebra of the two groups at 1 day and 6 months after operation were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the height of injured vertebrae and the recovery height of injured vertebra at 1 day after operation between the two groups (P>0.05). However, at 6 months after operation, the height of injured vertebra in group B was significantly lower than that in group A (P<0.05), and the loss height of injured vertebra in group B was significantly higher than that in group A (P<0.05). The VAS score and ODI score at 1 day and 6 months after operation were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones in both groups (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionBoth bipedicular and unipedicular PKP can obtain satisfactory effectiveness for the treatment of OVCF with posterior wall broken, but the former may have advantages of lower cement leakage rate and less height loss.

  • Effect of functional exercise at different time and different immobilization positions on functional recovery of elbow joint with type C distal humeral fractures

    Objective To investigate the effect of functional exercises at different time and different immobilization positions on the functional recovery of elbow joint with type C distal humeral fractures. Methods A total of 120 patients with type C distal humeral fractures admitted to the hospital between June 2013 and July 2015 were included in the study. They were randomly allocated to 3 groups, 40 patients in each group. Group A: functional exercises began immediately after the operation; Group B: the affected elbow was fixed at 90° flexion for 1 week and then began functional exercises after 1 week of immobilization; Group C: the affected elbow was fixed at 30° extension for 1 week and then began functional exercises after 1 week of immobilization. There was no significant difference in gender, age, fracture pattern, fracture side, injury time, and surgical approach between groups (P>0.05). Results In groups A and B, 1 case had incision redness and swelling respectively, and the other incisions healed by first intention. Five patients occurred myositis ossificans in group A, 4 cases in group B, and 5 cases in group C. The incidence of complications in groups A, B, and C was 15.0% (6/40), 12.5% (5/40), and 12.5% (5/40), respectively. There was no significant difference between groups (χ2=0.144, P=0.930). All patients were followed up 6-25 months, with an average of 9.8 months. At 2 weeks after operation, the Mayo elbow joint function score of group A was significantly higher than those of groups B and C (P<0.05), and the visual analogue scale (VAS) of group A was significantly lower than those of groups B and C (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between groups B and C (P>0.05). At 6 months after operation, there was no significant difference in Mayo elbow joint function score and VAS score between groups (P>0.05). At 2 weeks and 6 months after operation, the flexion and extension activities of elbow joint in groups A and C were better than that in group B (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between groups A and C (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in forearm rotation between groups (P>0.05). All fractures of 3 groups achieved clinical healing, and there was no significant difference in healing time between groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Early functional exercises can relieve pain and obtain better elbow flexion and extesion activities after operation. The elbow joint fixed at 30° extension is better than at 90° flexion in elbow flexion and extension activitis.

  • Clinical analysis of microscope-assisted anterior cervical decompression in the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament

    Objective To investigate the microscope-assisted anterior cervical surgery and traditional open surgery for the treatment of cervical myelopathy with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Methods Retrospective selection of patients with OPLL who underwent microscope-assisted and traditional open anterior cervical surgery in West China (Airport) Hospital Sichuan University were selected between January 2016 and August 2020. The patients who underwent traditional open anterior cervical surgery between January 2016 and August 2018 were classified as the conventional group, and the patients who underwent microscope-assisted anterior cervical surgery between September 2018 and August 2020 were classified as the microscope group. The baseline characteristics, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain before and after surgery, and surgical complications were collected. Neurological function was assessed using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. Result A total of 46 patients were included. There were 24 cases in the conventional group and 22 cases in the microscope group. There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and length of hospital stay in the microscope group were lower than those in the conventional group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in VSA score and JOA score between the two groups before operation (P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in VAS score and JOA score between the two groups 18 months after operation (P<0.001). The comparison of VAS score and JOA score in the two groups before and after operation showed that there was a statistically significant difference between 18 months after operation and before operation (P<0.05). In the microscope group, the average improvement rate of neurological function [(79.90±16.67)% vs. (58.12±17.47)%, t=4.317, P<0.001], excellent and good rate [95.45% (21/22) vs. 66.67% (16/24), χ2=4.354, P=0.037] were higher than those in the conventional group. The total number of complications in the microscope group was lower than that in the conventional group (P=0.024). Conclusion Compared with the traditional open anterior cervical surgery, the microscope-assisted anterior cervical surgery for OPLL can reduce intraoperative blood loss and length of hospital stay, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.

  • Timing of indwelling urinary catheter removal in male patients undergoing orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia: a prospective controlled study

    Objective To explore the timing of indwelling urinary catheter removal in male patients undergoing orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia by a prospective randomized controlled study. Methods Male patients who underwent orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia in the First People’s Hospital of Shuangliu District between September 2019 and January 2021 were selected prospectively. The patients were randomly assigned to group A (pull out the catheter before anesthesia) and group B (pull out the catheter within 24 hours after anesthesia) at a ratio of 1∶1 by sortition. The age, operation duration, operation site, heart rate when pulling out the catheter, first urination, urinary tract infection, patient comfort score, nursing satisfaction score and patient satisfaction related indicators of the two groups were recorded and analyzed. Results A total of 120 patients were included in the study. All patients successfully completed the trial without dropping out or quitting. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, operation duration and operation site (P>0.05). No urinary tract infection occurred in both groups. There was no significant difference in the first urination between the two groups (P>0.05). The heart rate of patients in group A when pulling out the catheter was slower than that of group B [(74.62 ± 11.38) vs. (84.52 ± 8.98) times/min], and the satisfaction of patients in group A (group A: 46 cases were satisfied, 11 cases were relatively satisfied, 3 cases were dissatisfied; group B: 17 cases were satisfied, 25 cases were relatively satisfied, 18 cases were dissatisfied), comfort score (17.82±2.73 vs. 16.68±2.13), and nursing satisfaction score (19.62±1.59 vs. 16.32±2.05) were better than those in group B (P<0.05). Conclusions For male patients who need catheterization before orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia, pulling out the catheter before waking up after anesthesia can effectively reduce the physiological stress reaction of patients, reduce discomfort, improve patient satisfaction, and reduce the workload of nurses after surgery, which is conducive to early rehabilitation exercise of patients.
