  • EFFECTIVENESS COMPARISON BETWEEN ARTHROSCOPIC AND NONSURGICAL TREATMENTS FOR ANKLE DEGENERATIVE OSTEOARTHROPATHY

    Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of arthroscopic treatment and nonsurgical treatment on ankle degenerative osteoarthropathy. Methods Between July 2009 and June 2011, 58 patients (58 ankles) suffering from ankle degenerative osteoarthropathy underwent arthroscopic treatment (arthroscopic group, n=28) and routine treatment (control group, n=30). There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, disease duration, and degree of ankle degenerative osteoarthropathy between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Mazur score, visual analogue scale (VAS), and Tegner activity scale were used to evaluate the effectiveness. Results Incision healed primarily in arthroscopic group. The patients of 2 groups were followed up 1-2 years, averaged 1.5 years in arthroscopic group and 1.6 years in control group. At last follow-up, Mazur, VAS, and Tegner scores were significantly improved when compared with the preoperative scores in 2 groups (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference was found at last follow-up between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). According to Mazur scoring, the results were excellent in 8 cases, good in 14 cases, fair in 5 cases, and poor in 1 case, with an excellent and good rate of 79% in arthroscopic group; the results were excellent in 6 cases, good in 15 cases, fair in 6 cases, and poor in 3 cases, with an excellent and good rate of 70% in control group; and no significant difference was observed between 2 groups (u=0.98, P=0.77). Moreover, there was no correlation between Outerbridge classification and Mazur score in patients undergoing arthroscopic treatment (r=0.18, P=0.34). Conclusion Arthroscopic and nonsurgical treatments of ankle degenerative osteoarthropathy can both achieve good effectiveness.

  • APPLICATION OF INTRAOPERATIVE CT NAVIGATION IN POSTERIOR THORACIC PEDICLE SCREW PLACEMENT FOR SCOLIOSIS PATIENTS

    Objective To investigate the application value of intraoperative CT navigation in posterior thoracic pedicle screw placement for scoliosis patients. Methods Between October 2009 and December 2011, 46 patients with scoliosis were treated with thoracic pedicle screw placement under intraoperative CT navigation in 21 cases (group A) or under C-arm fluoroscopy in 25 cases (group B). There was no significant difference in age, gender, type of scoliosis, involved segment, and Cobb angle of main thoracic curve between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). A total of 273 thoracic pedicle screws were placed in group A and 308 screws in group B. The pedicle screw position evaluated and classified by intraoperative CT images according to the Modi et al. method; and the accurate rate, the safe rate, and the potential risk rate of pedicle screws were calculated on the upper thoracic spine (T1-4), the middle thoracic spine (T5-8), the lower thoracic spine (T9-12), and the entire thoracic spine (T1-12). The accuracy and security of thoracic pedicle screw placement were compared between 2 groups. Results On the entire thoracic spine, the accurate rate of group A (93.4%) was significantly higher than that of group B (83.8%), the safe rate of group A (98.9%) was significantly higher than that of group B (92.5%), showing significant differences between 2 groups (P lt; 0.05). However, the potential risk rate of group B (7.5%) was significantly higher than that of group A (1.1%) (P lt; 0.05). On the upper, the middle, and the lower thoracic spines, there was no significant difference in the accurate rate, the safe rate, and the potential risk rate of pedicle screws between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). According to CT evaluation results, the potential risk pedicle screws were revised or removed during operation. The patients of 2 groups had no neurological deficits through physical examination of nervous system at 3 days after operation. Conclusion Intraoperative CT navigation can improve the accuracy and security of posterior thoracic pedicle screw placement and it can ensure the safety of operation by finding and promptly removing or revising the potential risk pedicle screws.
