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 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.
Objective To evaluate the results of operative treatment of complex acetabular fractures and to investigate its influence factors. Methods From June 2000 to August 2006, 54 patients with complex acetabular fractures were treated, including 44 males and 10 females aged 20-75 years old (average 39.1 years old). Fractures were due to traffic accidentin 40 cases, fall ing from high places in 8 cases and crush by heavy objects in 6 cases. All cases were fresh and close fractures and the time from injury to operation was 5-72 days. There were 5 cases of posterior column and posterior wall fracture, 25 of transverse and posterior wall fracture, 2 of T-type fracture, and 22 of double column fracture. During operation, Kocker- Lagenbach approach was used in 23 cases, anterior il ioinguinal approach was appl ied for 3 cases and the combination of anterior and posterior approaches was performed on 28 cases. AO reconstructive plate and screw internal fixation were used in all the cases. Results Fifty-two cases were followed up for 12-74 months (average 31.3 months). Anatomical reduction was achieved in 23 cases, satisfactory reduction in 19 cases, poor reduction in 10 cases, and the excellent and good rate reached 80.77%. During operation, 1 case suffered from a tear in the external il iac vein and healed after vein repair; 2 cases had sciatic nerve injury and took mecobalamin as oral administration, one of them fully recovered, and the other had incomplete recovery at 18-month follow-up. At the final follow-up, there were 6 cases of severe heterotopic ossification, one of them received heterotopic bone resection and the rest 5 patients received conservative treatment; there were 9 cases of traumatic osteoarthritis, one of them received total hip replacement and the rest 8 patients received conservative treatment; there were 5 cases of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, two of them received total hip replacement, 1 received no further treatment because the femoral head didn’ t collapse, and the rest 2 patients gave up total hip replacement; 75.00% patients were graded as excellent and good according to the modified Merled’Aubigné-Postel hip score system. Patients’ qual ity of l ife was compared with local population normsmatched for age and sex by using SF-36 scales, their overall score were below the local population norms, and their general health, vital ity, role l imitation due to emotional problems and mental health were comparable to the local population norms. Logistic regression analysis revealed the time to reduce hip dislocation, qual ity of fracture reduction nd traumatic arthritis were independent risk factors affecting postoperative functional outcomes. Conclusion Applying open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of displaced complex acetabular fractures has a satisfying therapeutic effect. Time to reduce hip dislocation, qual ity of fracture reduction as well as traumatic arthritis are independent risk factors affecting postoperative functional outcomes.
Objective To compare the curative effect of dynamic hi p screw (DHS) combined with anti-rotation screw and cannulated screw in treating patients with Pauwels type II or III femoral neck fracture and to provide the basis for the choice of surgical procedure. Methods Between March 2008 and September 2009, 51 patients with fresh Pauwels type II or III femoral neck fracture were treated with DHS combined with anti-rotation screw (DHS group) and three cannulated screws (cannulated screw group). The DHS group included 23 patients, 13 males and 10 females, aging 27-59 years (mean, 43.2 years); fracture was caused by fall ing in 1 case, by traffic accident in 17, by fall ing from height in 5 with a mean time of 27 hoursfrom injury to hospital ization (range, 12-70 hours); and 23 fractures included 9 Pauwels type II and 14 Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture. The cannulated screw group included 28 patients, 12 males and 16 females, aging 20-60 years (mean, 40.7 years); fracture was caused by fall ing in 1 case, by traffic accident in 22, by fall ing from height in 5 with a mean time of 25 hours from injury to hospital ization (range, 9-38 hours); and 28 fractures included 12 Pauwels type II and 16 Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture. There was no significant difference in the basel ine characteristics between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The incision heal ing of both groups by first intention was achieved. There were significant differences in operation time, incision size, operation blood loss, the cases of blood transfusion, the amount of blood transfusion, C reaction protein level on the 2nd postoperative day, and hospital ization days between 2 groups (P lt; 0.05). In DHS group, anatomic reduction was observed in 20 cases (86.96%) and satisfactory reduction in 3 cases (13.04%), while in cannulated screw group, anatomic reduction was observed in 25 cases (89.29%) and satisfactory reduction in 3 cases (10.71%) ; there was no significant difference (χ2=0.660, P=1.000). The patients were followed up 12-30 months with an average of 14.8 months. There was no significant difference (P gt; 0.05) in the rate of nonunion (10.71% vs. 0), the implant failure (3.57% vs. 0), and avascular necrosis of the femoral head (10.71% vs. 0) between the DHS group and the cannulated screw group. The union time was (94.5 ± 2.0) days in the DHS group and (106.0 ± 33.5) days in the cannulated screw group, showing no significant difference (t=—1.641, P=0.107). The re-opereation rates and the overall success rates were 25% and 75% in the cannulated group and were 0 and 100% in the DHS group, showing significant differences (χ2=6.650, P=0.012). At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in Harris hip score and visualanalogue scale (VAS) score between DHS group and cannulated screw group (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion The optimal treatment of young adults Pauwels type II or III femoral neck fracture is DHS combined with anti-rotation screw with an high overall success and less compl ications.
