Fixation failure of the LCP proximal femoral plate 4.5/5.0 in patients with missing posteromedial support in unstable per-, inter-, and subtrochanteric fractures of the proximal femur
Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:43:26 -0000
Abstract The LCP proximal femoral plate 4.5/5.0 (PF-LCP) represents a new generation of extramedullary fixation devices for stable and unstable trochanteric and/or subtrochanteric fractures. We report four cases of secondary varus collapse of the fracture with hardware failure of the implant.

Arthroscopic controlled reduction of femoral condyle fractures using a retrograde navigated approach
Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:43:19 -0000
Abstract Isolated depression fractures of the femoral condyle are rare, but severe injuries due the destroyed congruency of the articular surface in the weight-bearing region of the joint. In most cases, an arthrotomy with fragment reduction and internal fixation by screws buttress or plates is performed. Disadvantages of this procedure are the approach-related complications. Furthermore, an implant removal is necessary, if a secondary osteoarthrosis develops. We present a female patient with a hyperflexion trauma of her right knee, resulting in an isolated depression fracture of the medial femoral condyle. To avoid arthrotomy-related morbidity, the impressed fragment was retrograde addressed using navigated guidance and reduced indirectly under arthroscopic control. Via the retrograde intraosseous tunnel a biodegradable screw was used as a buttress against the fragment to prevent a re-dislocation. The fracture healed without any complications and the patient re-administered her sports activities at 10 weeks follow-up. This procedure enables an accurate reduction and stable fixation of joint depression fragments via a minimal invasive approach.

C2 translaminar screw as the optimal choice for atlantoaxial dislocation with C2–C3 congenital fusion
Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:43:18 -0000
Abstract Objective and importance The entry point and trajectory are very important for transarticular screw (TAS) and C2 pedicle screw (PDS) plantation. When the physical size is not large enough for the screw passing through, an accurate entry point is the most important point for successful screw insertion without vertebral artery (VA) injury and spinal cord injury. Once the laminas of C2 and C3 are fused, the normal anatomic mark might disappear and the insertion point would be hard to find. As a result, the complication of TAS or PDS implantation increases rapidly. We used C2 translaminar screws (TLSs) with C1 lateral mass screws as the optimal fixation for atlantoaxial dislocation in order to reduce the risk of VA injury and spinal cord injury. Clinical presentation A 37-year-old woman with atlantoaxial dislocation due to obsolete odontoid fracture complained of neck pain and myelopathy. Preoperative CT reconstruction showed C2–C3 fusion and small size of C2 isthmus. Technique The patient underwent posterior atlantoaxial fusion using C1 lateral mass screws and C2 TLSs. The posterior arch of atlas was removed for decompression and fusion was done at C1–C2 joints by grafting bone fragments from the posterior iliac crest. Conclusion TLSs combined with C1 lateral mass screws might be a useful technique for patients with atlantoaxial dislocation and C2–C3 fusion, especially with small size of C2 isthmus. Also, the fusion of posterior elements between C2 and C3 might be a relative contraindication for TAS fixation.

Comparison of two-staged ORIF and limited internal fixation with external fixator for closed tibial plafond fractures
Thu, 25 Feb 2010 06:51:46 -0000
Abstract Objective To compare the results of two-staged open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and limited internal fixation with external fixator (LIFEF) for closed tibial plafond fractures. Methods From January 2005 to June 2007, 56 patients with closed type B3 or C Pilon fractures were randomly allocated into groups I and II. Two-staged ORIF was performed in group I and LIFEF in group II. The outcome measures included bone union, nonunion, malunion, pin-tract infection, wound infection, osteomyelitis, ankle joint function, etc. These postoperative data were analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 13.0. Results Incidence of superficial soft tissue infection (involved in wound infection or pin-tract infection) in group I was lower than that in group II (P < 0.05), with significant difference. Group I has significantly less radiation exposure (P < 0.001). Group II had higher rates of malunion, delayed union, and arthritis symptoms, with no statistical significance. Both groups resulted similar ankle joint function. Logistic regression analysis indicated that smoking and fracture pattern were the two factors significantly influencing the final outcomes. Conclusions In the treatment of closed tibial plafond fractures, both two-staged ORIF and LIFEF offer similar results. Patients undergo LIFEF carry significantly greater radiation exposure and higher superficial soft tissue infection rate (usually occurs on pin tract and does not affect the final outcomes).

NgR expression in macrophages promotes nerve regeneration after spinal cord injury in rats
Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:48:15 -0000
Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate the expression of Nogo-66 receptor (NgR) in macrophages after SCI and clarify its role in neuron regeneration. Methods Macrophages harvested from injured spine cord of rats were stained by double immunofluorescence labeling technique to observe the expression of NgR at histological and cellular levels. Macrophages which expressed NgR were constructed in vitro, and then the effects of NgR on macrophage phagocytosis and neuraxon regeneration in three groups (NgR-macrophages group, mock group and normal macrophages group) were studied using Western blot, micro-MTT colorimetry, and LDH assay separately. Results The results showed that CD68-positive macrophages in injured tissue of spine cord expressed NgR after double immunofluorescence staining on day 7 after SCI, and so did macrophages isolated and cultured from the injured spine cord. The results of Western blot showed that phagocytosis of macrophages in NgR-macrophages group was much better than that in mock group and normal macrophage group (p < 0.05). And the results of Micro-MTT colorimetry and LDH assay indicated that the capacity of neuraxon regeneration in NgR-macrophages group was significantly higher than that in the other two groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions The results suggested that there was NgR expressing in the infiltrated macrophages following SCI, which increased phagocytosis of the macrophages, and promoted post-SCI CNS regeneration in vitro.
