Objective To explore the shortcomings of the traditional clinical probation teaching mode, propose and implement the interactive teaching mode, so as to stimulate the students’ interest in knowledge and achieve better teaching effects. Methods The students of Grade 2017 who had clinical probation in the Orthopaedic Trauma Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from September 2020 to December 2021 were selected. Students were randomly divided into traditional clinical probation teaching mode group and interactive teaching mode group according to random number table method. Wechat mini program anonymous questionnaire survey was used to evaluate students’ satisfaction with the interactive teaching model of orthopaedic trauma and the teaching effect. Results A total of 110 students were enrolled, 55 in the traditional clinical probation teaching mode group and 55 in the interactive teaching mode group. There was no significant difference in gender or age between the two groups (P>0.05). The students in the interactive teaching mode group were better than those in the traditional clinical probation teaching mode group in orthopedic theory test (90.13±3.65 vs. 88.39±3.74; t=2.469, P=0.015) in the orthopedic theory test, teacher evaluation (89.15±2.94 vs. 87.56±3.12; t=2.751, P=0.007) and student self-evaluation (89.07±3.18 vs. 87.41±2.89; t=2.865, P=0.005). The teaching satisfaction of the interactive teaching group was higher than that of the traditional teaching group (96.36% vs. 87.27%; Z=?2.159, P=0.031). Conclusion Interactive teaching mode can effectively stimulate students’ interest in knowledge seeking, improve the enthusiasm and interaction of clinical probation, and effectively improve the satisfaction of undergraduate orthopaedic trauma clinical probation teaching.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing blood transfusion and total blood loss in patients undergoing orthopaedic trauma surgery.MethodsA systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases. A search for grey literature was also performed in American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA). The search time was up to June 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias, then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 softwares.ResultsA total of 10 studies were included, including 936 patients. The pooled results indicated that TXA group was superior to the control group in blood transfusion (RR=0.75, 95%CI 0.63 to 0.89, P=0.001), the total blood loss (MD=–157.61, 95%CI –250.09 to –65.13, P=0.000 8) and the wound complications (RR=0.24, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.58, P=0.002). There was no significant difference in risk of thromboembolic events (RR=1.25, 95%CI 0.78 to 2.00, P=0.36) and the mortality (RR=0.81, 95%CI 0.40 to 1.66, P=0.57) between TXA and control group.ConclusionsTXA can effectively reduce blood transfusion, total blood loss and wound complications in patients undergoing orthopedic trauma surgery. Furthermore, TXA does not significantly increase the incidence of thromboembolic events and mortality. Due to the limited quality of included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.
Objective To evaluate the surgical treatment and its results of complex tibial plateau fractures.Methods From May 2003 to November 2004, 24 cases of complex tibial plateau fractures were treated by two-incision approaches. There were 16 males(including 1 case of bilateral), and8 females, with mean age of 40.6 years(21-65 years), eleven fractures occurred in left extremity and 14 in the right. No patients suffered open fractures. Fracture was caused by fall from height in 10 cases, by traffic accident in 12 cases and by another causes in 2 cases. According to Schatzkerclassification, type Ⅴ fracture was found in 14 extremities，type Ⅵ in 11 extremities. All cases were operated with twoincision approaches and double-plates fixation. The operation was performed 6-15 days after injury with mean 10.4 days. Results All cases were followed up from 12 to 23 months (mean 15.6 months). Time of the bone healing was 69 months, with mean 7.4 months. No reduction of anatomy was achieved because of comminuted fractures of articular surfaces in 2 limbs. The line of the lower extremity did not recover because of metaphysis comminution in 1 limb, which led to knee varus. Epidermal necrolysis was observed in 3 limbs, and the wound healedafter change dressing. The function of the knee wasevaluated according to Rasmussen’s criteria, the results were excellent in 10limbs, good in 8 limbs, fair in 3 limbs, and poor in 4 limbs. Conclusion The twoincision approaches reduced the complication of softtissueinjury, which is conductive to reduction of articular surface. Double-plates provide a sufficient internal fixation. It can permit early motion of knee joint. Therefore, two-incision approach are an effective surgical approach of treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures.
Objective To review the research progress of graphene and its derivatives in repair of peripheral nerve defect. Methods The related literature of graphene and its derivatives in repair of peripheral nerve defect in recent years was extensively reviewed. Results It is confirmed by in vitro and in vivo experiments that graphene and its derivatives can promote cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation and neurite growth effectively. They have good electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, larger specific surface area, and other advantages when compared with traditional materials. The three-dimensional scaffold can improve the effect of nerve repair. Conclusion The metabolic pathways and long-term reaction of graphene and its derivatives in the body are unclear. How to regulate their biodegradation and explain the electric coupling reaction mechanism between cells and materials also need to be further explored.

Objective To study the outcomes of nerve defect repair with the tissue engineered nerve, which is composed of the complex of SCs, 30% ECM gel, bFGF-PLGA sustained release microspheres, PLGA microfilaments and permeable poly (D, L-lacitic acid) (PDLLA) catheters. Methods SCs were cultured and purified from the sciatic nerves of 1-day-old neonatal SD rats. The 1st passage cells were compounded with bFGF-PLGA sustained release microspheres andECM gel, and then were injected into permeable PDLLA catheters with PLGA microfilaments inside. In this way, the tissueengineered nerve was constructed. Sixty SD rats were included. The model of 15-mm sciatic nerve defects was made, and then the rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, with 12 rats in each. In group A, autograft was adopted. In group B, the blank PDLLA catheters with PBS inside were used. In group C, PDLLA catheters, with PLGA microfilaments and 30% ECM gel inside, were used. In group D, PDLLA catheters, with PLGA microfilaments, SCs and 30% ECM gel inside, were used. In group E, the tissue engineered nerve was appl ied. After the operation, observation was made for general conditions of the rats. The sciatic function index (SFI) analysis was performed at 12, 16, 20 and 24 weeks after the operation, respectively. Eelectrophysiological detection and histological observation were performed at 12 and 24 weeks after the operation, respectively. Results All rats survived to the end of the experiment. At 12 and 16 weeks after the operation, group E was significantly different from group B in SFI (P lt; 0.05). At 20 and 24 weeks after the operation, group E was significantly different from groups B and C in SFI (P lt; 0.05). At 12 weeks after the operation, electrophysiological detection showed nerve conduct velocity (NCV) of group E was bigger than that of groups B and C (P lt; 0.05), and compound ampl itude (AMP) as well as action potential area (AREA） of group E were bigger than those of groups B, C and D (P lt; 0.05). At 24 weeks after the operation, NCV, AMP and AREA of group E were bigger than those of groups B and C (Plt; 0.05). At 12 weeks after the operation, histological observation showed the area of regenerated nerves and the number of myel inated fibers in group E were significantly differents from those in groups A, B and C (Plt; 0.05). The density and diameter of myel inated fibers in group E were smaller than those in group A (Plt; 0.05), but bigger than those in groups B, C and D (P lt; 0.05). At 24 weeks after the operation, the area of regenerative nerves in group E is bigger than those in group B (P lt; 0.05); the number of myel inated fibers in group E was significantly different from those in groups A, B, C (P lt; 0.05); and the density and diameter of myel inated fibers in group E were bigger than those in groups B and C (Plt; 0.05). Conclusion The tissue engineered nerve with the complex of SCs, ECM gel, bFGF-PLGA sustained release microspheres, PLGA microfilaments and permeables PDLLA catheters promote nerve regeneration and has similar effect to autograft in repair of nerve defects.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of operative treatment versus nonoperative treatment in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD).MethodsPubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, and CQVIP databases were searched for controlled studies about operative treatment versus nonoperative treatment for ASD published up till June 2019. ClinicalTrials.gov was searched for grey literatures informally published up till June 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literatures, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 softwares.ResultsA total of 10 non-randomized controlled studies were included, including 1 601 patients. The pooled results indicated that the operative group was superior to the nonoperative group in ability improvement [the increment of Scoliosis Research Society-22 score: weighted mean difference (WMD)=0.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.69, 0.70), P<0.000 01; the decrement of Oswestry Disability Index score: WMD=11.12, 95%CI (10.74, 11.50), P<0.000 01], pain relief [the decrement of Numeric Rating Scale score: WMD=3.25, 95%CI (3.16, 3.35), P<0.000 01], and Cobb correction [WMD=14.06°, 95%CI (13.60, 14.53)°, P<0.000 01]. The incidence of complications was higher in the operative group than that in the nonoperative group [relative risk=5.38, 95%CI (3.67, 7.88), P<0.000 01].ConclusionsSurgery shows superior efficacy on ability improvement, pain relief, and Cobb correction compared with nonoperative treatment in ASD patients, though its incidence of complications is high. Nonoperative treatment is also an effective treatment for patients with poor physical condition and intolerance to surgery. Due to the limited quantity and quality of included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.
Objective To study the cl inical effect of expert tibial nail (ETN) in the treatment of the complex tibial fractures of type C. Methods From May to October 2008, 10 cases of complex tibial fractures of type C were treated with unreamed ETN and closed reduction. There were 7 males and 3 females aging from 23 to 50 years with an average age of 39 years. Fracture was caused by traffic accident in 6 cases, by crush in 2 cases, and by fall ing from height in 2 cases. According to Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO/ASIF) classification, there were 2 cases of 42-C1 fractures, 4 cases of42-C2 fractures, and 4 cases of 42-C3 fractures; including 4 cases of closed fractures and 6 cases of open fractures (2 cases of Gustilo type I and 4 cases of Gustilo type II). Results The mean duration of surgery and blood loss were 75 minutes (range, 60-110 minutes) and 55 mL (range, 20-100 mL), respectively. All the incision healed by first intension without compl ication of infection. All cases were followed up for 12-17 months (average 14 months). X-ray films showed that no breakage of nail, iatrogenic fracture, l imb shortening, and angulation deformity occurred. All fractures healed after 3-8 months (average 4.2 months). At last follow-up according to Johner-Wruhs standard for the functional recovery, the results were excellent in 8 cases and good in 2 cases. Conclusion ETN has an angular stable locking system for intramedullary nails, which can enhance axial and transverse stabil ity for the treatment of complex tibial fractures of type C. It will provide firm fixation and minimal invasion.
Objective To compare the effectiveness of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and reconstruction nail with minimally invasive technique for ipsilateral femoral shaft and extracapsular hip fractures in young and middle-aged patients. Methods Sixty-nine young and middle-aged patients with ipsilateral femoral shaft and extracapsular hip fractures were treated between January 2000 and August 2010, and their data were analyzed retrospectively. Of them, fractures were fixed by reconstruction nail in 44 cases (reconstruction nail group) and by PFNA in 25 cases (PFNA group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, weight, injury cause, fracture type, or disease duration between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). The operation time, blood loss, fracture healing time, complications, and functional outcomes were compared between 2 groups to evaluate the effectiveness. Results The operation time and blood loss in the PFNA group were significantly less than those in the reconstruction nail group (P lt; 0.05). The follow-up time was 12-38 months (mean, 20 months ) in the PFNA group and was 12-48 months (mean, 22 months) in the reconstruction nail group. No complication occurred as follows in 2 groups: wound infection, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, breakage of the implants, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, or serious rotation and shortening deformity of lower limbs. In the PFNA group and the reconstruction nail group, 1 patient underwent technical difficulty in nail implant and 7 patients underwent technical difficulty in proximal locking screw, respectively; 3 patients and 6 patients had intra-operative iatrogenic fracture of femoral shaft, respectively; and delayed union of femoral shaft was observed in 1 patient and 2 patients, respectively. The complication rate was 20% (5/25) in the PFNA group and 34% (15/44) in the reconstruction nail group, showing no significant difference (χ2=1.538, P=0.215). No significant difference was found in fracture healing time between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in Harris hip score and Evanich knee score between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion PFNA or reconstruction nail with minimally invasive technique is a good method to treat ipsilateral femoral shaft and extracapsular hip fractures, but the PFNA is superior to the reconstruction nail because of simple operation.
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter angiographic embol ization (AE) in the control of massive haemorrhage from large wound due to crush syndrome after Wenchuan earthquake. Methods From May 12 to May 26, 2008, 11 injured persons in Wenchuan earthquake with massive haemorrhage from large wound due to crush syndrome were treated, including 6 males and 5 females aged 16-36 years old (average 21 years old). All 19 wounds were infected.The hemorrhage was from the hip in 7 cases, the thigh stump in 3 cases, and the shoulder in 1 case. Six patients had hemorrhagic shock. All patients underwent arteriography to locate the bleeding artery, and transcatheter AE was performed according to the result of arteriography. Contrast-enhanced spiral CT scan and three-dimensional angiography were performed 48 hours after AE to evaluate leakage of contrast media and collapse of distal artery of embol ism site. Results Angiography for 11 injured persons after AE showed no occurrence of contrast media leakage, faint shadow to the distal branch artery of embol ic level, and significant increase of blood pressure of the bleeding artery, indicating the embol ization was successful. No active hemorrhage was evident in the wounds 48 hours after AE. For the 6 patients with hemorrhagic shock, obvious decrease of hemorrhage was observed after AE, gradual recovery of blood pressure and vital signs, and stabil ity of their condition were evident after supportive therapy. During the first 24 hours after AE, total volume of infusion was 6 750-19 600 mL (average 8 740 mL), and total volume of blood and plasma transfusion was 1 800-6 400 mL (average 3 500 mL). In 6 cases, contrast-enhanced spiral CT scan demonstrated faint shadow of the distal artery without contrast media leakage, and three-dimensional CT angiography showed collapse of the distal artery; in the rest 5 cases, contrast-enhanced spiral CT scan demonstrated shadow of the distal artery without contrast media leakage, and three-dimensional CT angiography displayed the full-fill ing of distal artery with obviously decreased vascular cavity. No severe compl ications such as muscle necrosis in the buttock and hip, bladder necrosis,dysuria, fecal incontinence, and impotence occurred. Conclusion The transcatheter AE is a safe, fast, effective and miniinvasive method of controll ing massive haemorrhage from large wound caused by crush syndrome after Wenchuan earthquake.
