In 1984, according to the criteria of the classifieation for congenital hand deformity which wasput out by the International Hand Surgery Committee, we had made an investigation for congenitalhand deformity among 318066 newborns in Shanghai. It was found that the inctdence of a congenitalhand malformation was 0. 0808 percent among the total newborns. The congenital malformation ofthe thumb was 37. 74 percent of all deformities of the hand. According to the statistical analysis, we ...
ObjectiveBased on the clinical data of patients with foot and ankle deformities in the QIN Sihe Orthopaedic Surgery Database, to analyze the characteristics and treatment strategies of foot and ankle deformities, and provide a basis for clinical decision-making. Methods A total of 22 062 patients with foot and ankle deformities who received orthopedic surgery between May 25, 1978 and December 31, 2020 were searched in the QIN Sihe Orthopedic Surgery Database. The gender, age at operation, regional distribution, etiology, type of deformity, operation method, postoperative fixation method, and other information were collected. Results Among the 22 062 patients, there were 13 046 males (59.13%) and 9 016 females (40.87%); the age at operation ranged from 1 to 77 years, with a median of 17 years, and 20 026 cases (90.77%) were aged 5 to 40 years. The patients came from 32 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across the China and 5 countries including India and the United States, et al. The etiology and diseases type covered 154 kinds (of which sequelae of poliomyelitis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida and tethered spinal cord, congenital equinovarus foot, post-traumatic foot and ankle deformity, and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease accounted for the highest proportion). The types of deformities included varus foot, equinus foot, valgus foot, talipes calcaneus, equinocavus, high arched foot, claw toe, and flail foot. Surgical methods included tendon lengthening, soft tissue release, tendon transposition, osteotomy orthopedics, and ankle arthrodesis. The 36 620 operations were performed, including 11 561 cases of hip, knee, and lower leg operations to correct the foot and ankle deformities. Postoperative fixation methods included Ilizarov external fixator in 2 709 cases (12.28%), combined external fixator in 3 966 cases (17.98%), and plaster or brace fixation in 15 387 cases (69.74%). ConclusionMale patients with foot and ankle deformities account for a large proportion, and the population distribution is mainly adolescents, with a wide distribution of regions, causes and diseases, and talipes equinovarus and varus foot are the main types of deformities. Foot and ankle deformities are often combined with deformities of other parts of the lower limb, which requires a holistic treatment concept. The application of foot soft tissue and bone surgery combined with Ilizarov external fixator and combined external fixators provides a guarantee for the correction of complex foot and ankle deformities.
Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of one-stage posterior eggshell osteotomy and long-segment pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis kyphosis combined with acute thoracolumbar vertebral fracture. Methods A clinical data of 20 patients with ankylosing spondylitis kyphosis combined with acute thoracolumbar spine fracture, who were treated with one-stage posterior eggshell osteotomy and long-segment pedicle screw fixation between April 2016 and January 2022, was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 16 cases were male and 4 cases were female; their ages ranged from 32 to 68 years, with an average of 45.9 years. The causes of injury included 10 cases of sprain, 8 cases of fall, and 2 cases of falling from height. The time from injury to operation ranged from 1 to 12 days, with an average of 7.1 days. The injured segment was T11 in 2 cases, T12 in 2 cases, L1 in 6 cases, and L2 in 10 cases. X-ray film and CT showed that the patients had characteristic imaging manifestations of ankylosing spondylitis, and the fracture lines were involved in the anterior, middle, and posterior columns and accompanied by different degrees of kyphosis and vertebral compression; and MRI showed that 12 patients had different degrees of nerve injuries. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, intra- and post-operative complications were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate the low back pain and quality of life, and the American spinal cord injury association (ASIA) classification was used to evaluate the neurological function. X-ray films were taken, and local Cobb angle (LCA) and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were measured to evaluate the correction of the kyphosis. Results All operations were successfully completed and the operation time ranged from 127 to 254 minutes (mean, 176.3 minutes). The amount of intraoperative bleeding ranged from 400 to 950 mL (mean, 722.5 mL). One case of dural sac tear occurred during operation, and no cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred after repair, and the rest of the patients did not suffer from neurological and vascular injuries, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and other related complications during operation. All incisions healed by first intention without infection or fat liquefaction. All patients were followed up 8-16 months (mean, 12.5 months). The VAS score, ODI, LCA, and SVA at 3 days after operation and last follow-up significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05), and the difference between 3 days after operation and last follow-up was not significant (P>0.05). The ASIA grading of neurological function at last follow-up also significantly improved when compared with that before operation (P<0.05), including 17 cases of grade E and 3 cases of grade D. At last follow-up, all bone grafts achieved bone fusion, and no complications such as loosening, breaking of internal fixation, and pseudoarthrosis occurred. Conclusion One-stage posterior eggshell osteotomy and long-segment pedicle screw fixation is an effective surgical procedure for ankylosing spondylitis kyphosis combined with acute thoracolumbar vertebral fracture. It can significantly relieve patients’ clinical symptoms and to some extent, alleviate the local kyphotic deformity.

Methods : A retrospective analysis of 43 cases of cerebral AVMs applied with multimodality treatment in our department From March 2002 to July 2009 has been made, meanwhile we have analyzed and assessed the clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of these 43 patients with cerebral AVMs. Results : Patients received multimodality treatment with embolization followed by surgery(n=3), embolization followed by γknife radiation(n=26), surgery followed by γknife radiation(n=11), or embolization, surgery, and γknife radiation(n=3). Postoperative followup of 28 cases, the followup time is 4 months to 7 years and 6 months. GOS score 5 in 25 cases, who can be able to return to work or school. GOS score 4 in 2 cases, who can be able to live independently. GOS score 1 in 1 case, who is dead. Conclusion : In the cerebral AVMs which are large, or located within or immediately adjacent to eloquent regions of the brain, or have deep venous drainage, multimodality treatment has some superiority. It can not only improve the cure rate of cerebral AVMs significantly, but also reduce the treatmentrelated complications and mortality.
Objective To describe the characteristics of short arm deformity in patients with achondroplasia, and summarize the progress of its lenthening and reconstruction, so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. MethodsThe literature on the lenthening of upper limb with achondroplastic short arm deformity at home and abroad in recent years was reviewed, and the characteristics, extension methods, postoperative management, effectiveness evaluation, and related complications of short arm deformity were summarized. Results Achondroplastic short arm deformity affect the patient’s daily perineal hygiene activities. Although the upper limb is proportionately shortened, the humerus is mainly short limb deformity. Bilateral humeral lengthening is a common treatment method, and the traditional lengthening tools are mainly external fixation, guided by Ilizarov distraction osteogenesis concept; intramedullary lengthening is the latest treatment method. Lengthening percentage and healing index are commonly used for clinical evaluation indexes, and complications such as nerve injury may occur during upper limb lengthening. Conclusion In addition to appearance improvement, achondroplastic short arm lengthening is of great significance in achieving self-management of individual perineal hygiene. Lenthening and reconstruction methods are constantly being innovated and improved.
