  • Early effectiveness analysis of lateral hinge fracture during medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy

    ObjectiveTo compare the clinical and radiologic effectiveness in patients with versus without lateral hinge fracture during medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) to evaluate the effect of lateral hinge fracture on short-term effectiveness.MethodsThe clinical data of 84 patients (97 knees) with medial compartment osteoarthritis who treated with MOWHTO between September 2015 and July 2018 was retrospectively analyzed. There were 10 males (10 knees) and 74 females (87 knees). The age ranged from 45 to 65 years with an average of 57.7 years. Lateral hinge fracture was recognized by the intraoperative fluoroscopy or immediate postoperative X-ray film. Fractures were classified into types Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ according to the Takeuchi classification. The healing of osteotomy was observed by radiographs during follow-up; the femur tibia angle (FTA), medialproximal tibial angle (MPTA), and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) were also calculated. The knee joint function was evaluated by Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score and knee society score (KSS).ResultsThe incision healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 15-48 months with an average of 24.8 months. No hinge fracture occurred in 78 knees (80.41%, group A), and lateral hinge fractures were observed in 19 knees (19.59%, group B) and were divided into the type Ⅰ (13 knees, 13.40%) and type Ⅲ (6 knees, 6.19%) groups. Type Ⅰ fractures were not additionally treated, type Ⅲ fractures were anatomic reduced fixed with additional lag screws. X-ray film and CT examination showed that all patients had bone healing at 3 months after operation without delayed healing or nonunion. During follow-up, there was no loosening or fracture of internal fixation plates and screws. HKA, FTA, and MPTA of patients in group A and group B (type Ⅰ and Ⅲ) were significantly improved at each time point after operation compared with preoperative values (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between groups at each time point before and after operation (P>0.05). After operation, the pain of knee joint was alleviated and the function of joint was improved. At last follow-up, KSS score and HSS score of groups A and B were significantly improved compared with those before operation (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionThe lateral hinge fracture may occur during MOWHTO. As long as the treatment and rehabilitation were guided according to the fracture classification of the hinge, the effectiveness can be similar to those without the hinge fracture.

  • Comparison of effectiveness of two cannulated screw configurations in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in young adults

    ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze the effectiveness of internal fixation with the two different cannulated screw implanting methods of rhomboid and inverted triangle in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in young adults.MethodsThe clinical data of 38 young adults with femoral neck fracture who met the selection criteria between January 2018 and August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different methods of cannulated screw implanting, the patients were divided into two groups, 19 cases in each group. The trial group was treated with closed reduction and cannulated screw rhombic distribution internal fixation, while the control group was treated with closed reduction and cannulated screw inverted triangular distribution internal fixation. There was no significant differences in patients’ gender, age, cause of injury, Garden classification of fracture, and time from injury to operation between the two groups (P>0.05). The fracture healing time, the incidence of nonunion, femoral neck shortening, and femoral head necrosis were recorded and compared between the two groups; the effectiveness was evaluated by Harris score and visual analogue scale (VAS) score at last follow-up.ResultsThe incisions of the two groups healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 12-24 months with an average of 15.5 months. There were 1 case of fracture nonunion and 2 cases of shortening of femoral neck in the trial group; while there were 2 cases of fracture nonunion, 1 case of necrosis of femoral head, and 6 cases of femoral neck shortening in the control group; the difference in the incidence of complications (15.8% vs. 47.4%) between the two groups was significant (χ2=4.385, P=0.036). The remaining 18 cases in the trial group and 17 cases in the control group all achieved osteonal union, and the healing time was (14.8±1.6) weeks and (15.9±1.3) weeks, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups (t=1.265, P=0.214). At last follow-up, Harris score and VAS score of the trial group were 88.9±4.3 and 1.1±0.7, respectively, while those of the control group were 86.9±5.9 and 1.3±0.9, respectively, showing no significant difference (t=0.603, P=0.550; t=1.152, P=0.257). Hip function was evaluated in accordance with Harris score, the results were excellent in 12 cases, good in 6 cases, and fair in 1 case in the trial group, the excellent and good rate was 94.74%; the results were excellent in 10 cases, good in 7 cases, and fair in 2 cases in the control group, the excellent and good rate was 89.47%; there was no significant difference in the excellent and good rate between the two groups (χ2=0.368, P=0.544).ConclusionThe short-term effectiveness of the two kinds of cannulated screw implanting methods is clear, rhomboid fixation of 4 screws has strong stability with stress distribution, which can effectively reduce the incidence of femoral neck shortening, fracture nonunion, femoral head necrosis, and other complications.
