[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: We carried out this study to test the efficacy of the olecranon memory connector (OMC) in olecranon fractures. METHODS: We designed a prospective randomised controlled trial involving 40 cases of olecranon fractures. From May 2004 to December 2009, 40 patients with olecranon fractures were randomly assigned into two groups. Twenty patients were treated with OMC, while another 20 patients were fixed with locking plates in our hospital. The DASH score, MEP score, range of motion and radiographs were used to evaluate the postoperative elbow function and complications. RESULTS: For MEP score, OMC was better than the locking plate; for DASH score, complication rate, and range of elbow motion, the two methods presented no significant difference. CONCLUSION: The study showed that OMC could be an effective alternative to treat olecranon fractures.International Orthopaedics 04/2013; · 2.03 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: A bioactive composite of nano calcium-deficient apatite (n-CDAP) with an atom molar ratio of calcium to phosphate (Ca/P) of 1.50 and poly(ɛ-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG-PCL) was synthesized, and a composite scaffold was fabricated. The composite scaffolds with 40 wt% n-CDAP contained well interconnected macropores around 400 μm, and exhibited a porosity of 75%. The weight-loss ratio of the n-CDAP/PCL-PEG-PCL was significantly greater than nano hydroxyapatite (n-HA, Ca/P = 1.67)/PCL-PEG-PCL composite scaffolds during soaking into phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) for 70 days, indicating that n-CDAP-based composite had good degradability compared with n-HA. The viability ratio of MG-63 cells was significantly higher on n-CDAP than n-HA-based composite scaffolds at 3 and 5 days. In addition, the alkaline phosphatase activity of the MG-63 cells cultured on n-CDAP was higher than n-HA-based composite scaffolds at 7 days. Histological evaluation showed that the introduction of n-CDAP into PCL-PEG-PCL enhanced the efficiency of new bone formation when the composite scaffolds were implanted into rabbit bone defects. The results suggested that the n-CDAP-based composite exhibits good biocompatibility, biodegradation, and osteogenesis in vivo.International Journal of Nanomedicine 01/2012; 7:3123-31. · 3.13 Impact Factor -
Article: Composite scaffolds of mesoporous bioactive glass and polyamide for bone repair.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A bone-implanted porous scaffold of mesoporous bioglass/polyamide composite (m-BPC) was fabricated, and its biological properties were investigated. The results indicate that the m-BPC scaffold contained open and interconnected macropores ranging 400-500 μm, and exhibited a porosity of 76%. The attachment ratio of MG-63 cells on m-BPC was higher than polyamide scaffolds at 4 hours, and the cells with normal phenotype extended well when cultured with m-BPC and polyamide scaffolds. When the m-BPC scaffolds were implanted into bone defects of rabbit thighbone, histological evaluation confirmed that the m-BPC scaffolds exhibited excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductivity, and more effective osteogenesis than the polyamide scaffolds in vivo. The results indicate that the m-BPC scaffolds improved the efficiency of new bone regeneration and, thus, have clinical potential for bone repair.International Journal of Nanomedicine 01/2012; 7:2547-55. · 3.13 Impact Factor -
Article: [Application of acetabular tridimensional memory alloy-fixation system in treatment of old acetabular posterior wall fracture with bone defect].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the effectiveness of acetabular tridimensional memory alloy-fixation system (ATMFS) combined with autologous iliac bone in the treatment of old acetabular posterior wall fracture with bone defect. Between January 2002 and February 2009, 17 patients with old acetabular posterior wall fracture and bone defect were treated, including 11 males and 6 females with an average age of 41.7 years (range, 20-60 years). The time from fracture to admission was 14-180 days (mean, 63 days). The displacement of the acetabular articular surface was more than or equal to 3 mm. According to the America Association of Orthopedic Surgeon (AAOS) acetabular fracture and defect classification standard, there were 4 cases of type I, 6 cases of type II, 5 cases of type III, and 2 cases of type IV. After the residual fracture fragments of the acetabular posterior wall and soft tissue hyperplasia were removed, the femoral head was reduced, and posterior wall defect was repaired with autologous iliac bone graft; ATMFS was used to fix acetabular posterior wall and artificial capsular ligament to reconstruct the hip so as to prevent re-dislocation of the femoral head. According to Matta imaging assessment standard, the results were excellent in 8 cases, good in 6 cases, fair in 2 cases, and poor in 1 case with an excellent and good rate of 82.3%. All incisions healed by first intention, and no sciatic nerve injury occurred. All patients were followed up 1-8 years (mean, 3.9 years). The mean time of fracture union was 3.6 months (range, 2-6 months). Avascular necrosis of femoral head occurred in 1 case, heterotopic ossification around the acetabulum in 1 case. According to Merle d'Aubigné-Postel scoring system evaluation, the clinical results were excellent in 9 cases, good in 6 cases, fair in 1 case, and poor in 1 case with an excellent and good rate of 88.2%. ATMFS combined with autologous iliac bone graft and artificial ligament reconstruction of the hip joint capsule is a good choice for the treatment of old acetabular posterior wall fractures with bone defect, which can resume the posterior hip joint stability and prevent re-dislocation of the femoral head.Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery 12/2011; 25(12):1422-5. -

[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compare the effectiveness between open reduction combined with internal fixation and artificial radial head replacement in treating Mason type-III comminuted fracture of radial head, to provide the evidence for available treatment methods. Between January 2004 and June 2008, 65 cases of Mason type-III comminuted fractures were treated with open reduction, AO mini plate and screw system or a combination of Kirschner treatment (internal fixation group, n = 35) and with artificial radial head replacement (replacement group, n = 30). In internal fixation group, there were 21 males and 14 females with an age range of 21 to 35 years (mean, 30.7 years); the causes of injury were traffic accident in 12 cases, falling from height in 8 cases, and a fall in 15 cases; the locations were left side in 23 cases and right side in 12 cases; and the time between injury and surgery was 1-7 days (mean, 3 days). In replacement group, there were 19 males and 11 females with an age range of 23 to 67 years (mean, 32.5 years); the causes of injury were traffic accident in 7 cases, falling from height in 8 cases, and a fall in 15 cases; the locations were left side in 17 cases and right side in 13 cases; and the time between injury and surgery was 1-6 days (mean, 1.5 days). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease cause, disease duration, or other general information between 2 groups (P > 0.05), so that 2 series of patients had comparability. Incisions healed primarily in 2 groups. All patients were followed up 1 to 4 years with an average of 2.5 years. There were significant differences in elbow flexion angle, extension angle, and forearm rotation angle between 2 groups (P < 0.05), but no significant difference in elbow pronation or supination weakness (P > 0.05). In internal fixation group, primary union occurred in 29 cases, delayed union in 2 cases, nonunion with ectopic ossification in 2 cases, and internal fixation failure in 2 cases. In replacement group, elbow flexion angle lost beyond 30 degrees in 1 case after 1 year, elbow stiffness occurred in 1 case because prosthesis was too long. According to Broberg and Morrey elbow scores system, the scores were 69.51 +/- 10.23 in internal fixation group and 81.55 +/- 12.06 in replacement group, showing significant difference (P < 0.05). The results were excellent in 15 cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 11 cases, and poor in 4 cases with an excellent and good rate of 57.1% in internal fixation group; the results were excellent in 17 cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 6 cases, and poor in 2 cases with an excellent and good rate of 73.3%. Artificial radial head replacement can achieve better joint function compared with open reduction combined with internal fixation in treating Mason type-III comminuted fractures of radial head.Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery 08/2010; 24(8):900-3. -
Article: Nanoporous calcium silicate and PLGA biocomposite for bone repair
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nanoporous calcium silicate (n-CS) with high surface area was synthesized using the mixed surfactants of EO20PO70EO20 (polyethylene oxide)20(polypropylene oxide)70(polyethylene oxide)20, P123) and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as templates, and its composite with poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) were fabricated. The results showed that the n-CS/PLGA composite (n-CPC) with 20wt% n-CS could induce a dense and continuous layer of apatite on its surface after soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 1 week, suggesting the excellent in vitro bioactivity. The n-CPC could promote cell attachment on its surfaces. In addition, the proliferation ratio of MG63 cells on n-CPC was significantly higher than PLGA; the results demonstrated that n-CPC had excellent cytocompatibility. We prepared n-CPC scaffolds that contained open and interconnected macropores ranging in size from 200 to 500 µm. The n-CPC scaffolds were implanted in femur bone defect of rabbits, and the in vivo biocompatibility and osteogenicity of the scaffolds were investigated. The results indicated that n-CPC scaffolds exhibited good biocompatibility, degradability, and osteogenesis in vivo. Collectively, these results suggested that the incorporation of n-CS in PLGA produced biocomposites with improved bioactivity and biocompatibility.Journal of Nanomaterials 01/2010; 2010:14. · 1.38 Impact Factor -

[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the clinical effect of the acetabular tridimensional memory alloy-fixation system (ATMFS) in treatment of posterior wall acetabular fractures with posterior dislocation of hip. From January 2004 to February 2006, 15 cases of posterior wall acetabular fracture with posterior dislocation of hip were treated. There were 11 males and 4 females, aged 21-68 years old with an average of 43.5 years old. Injury was caused by traffic accident in 8 cases, by falling from height in 5 cases and others in 2 cases. The locations were the left hip in 9 cases and the right hip in 6 cases. According to Thompson-Epstein' fracture classification, there were 6 cases of type II, 5 cases of type III, 2 cases of type IV and 2 cases of type V. Imaging showed the acetabular articular surface displacement of 2-5 mm (mean 3 mm). The time from injury to hospitalization was 6 hours to 2 weeks(mean 1.5 days). Skeletal traction on femoral condyle was given, manual reduction was performed in 12 patients and intra-operative reduction in 3 cases. ATMFS was used after 2-7 days of hospitalization, and 4 cases received autologous free ilium because of bone defect. The operative time was 90-390 minutes with an average of 210 minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was 350-2 500 mL with an average of 360 mL. The hospitalization days of the patients ranged from 7 to 21 days(mean 10 days). Epidermal infection occurred and was cured after symptomatic management in 1 case. Other incisions healed by first intention. No deep infections, pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis and other complications occurred. The patients were followed up 1 to 3 years with an average of 1.6 years. Ischemic necrosis of femoral head occurred in 1 case. Heterotopic ossification in grade II occurred in 1 case. The hip function was still good without special treatment. According to Matta's X-ray fracture reduction assessment, the results were excellent in 7 cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 2 cases, and poor in 1 case, the excellent and good rate was 80%. According to d'Aubigné clinical efficacy evaluation, the results were excellent in 8 cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 1 case, and poor in 1 case, the excellent and good rate was 86.7% at last followup. ATMFS can be used for the treatment of posterior wall acetabular fracture with posterior dislocation of hip, which can improve the anatomy corresponding rate of the femoral head and reduce the incidence of complications and restore the function of the hip.Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery 09/2009; 23(9):1067-70.
