Background: Burns are still one of the most prevalent injuries in the world. Allograft is in high demand as a biological dressing for any superficial open wounds, not just burn victims. Skin allograft is the gold standard for treating burns in people who do not have enough skin to cover all of the injured areas of their bodies. Studies have shown that skin allografts are superior to topical antimicrobial dressings in partial thickness burns and can reduce complications and length of hospital stay in burn patients. However, to the best of our knowledge very few studies have investigated these results in our country. The aim of the current study is to evaluate and report the outcomes of skin allograft on burn patient survival in Iran.

Method: This prospective clinical trial study was performed on patients admitted to the burn center of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran between July 15, 2017 and April 27, 2021. The control group consisted of patients admitted to the burn ward who were not undergoing skin allografts. This group was matched with the case group in terms of sex, age, and percentage of burns. We compared the outcome of the study was the duration of hospitalization, and status of patients at discharge. The study protocol was approved by Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) under the code of IRCT2016112431074N1 (https://fa.irct.ir/trial/24517).

Result: Overall, 112 patients in the case group and 224 patients in the control group were studied. The length of hospital stay in the case group (41.13±11.7) was considerably longer than the control group (24.6±12.1) (P<0.001), but the mortality rate in the two groups was not statistically different (P=0.633). The average survival time of case group (53 days, 95% CI=45-56) was higher than the control group (49 days, 95% CI=39-58) (P=0.012). Number of allograft usage (OR=0.038, 95% CI=0.142-0.945) and also Age (OR=1.03, 95% CI=1.005-1.070) were predictors of death.

Conclusion: Although the use of skin allografts in large burns (more than 50%) reduced mortality in burn patients, their use in burns less than 50% has not been effective in reducing patient mortality. Due to the limited access to this valuable product, its use in burns less than 50% should be done with caution and, due to the limited access to skin allografts in most burn centers in Iran, patients with extensive burns (more than 50%) should be used as a priority.

背景:烧伤仍然是世界上最常见的伤害之一。同种异体移植物作为一种生物敷料在任何浅表开放性伤口中都有很高的需求,而不仅仅是烧伤患者。同种异体皮肤移植是治疗那些没有足够皮肤覆盖身体所有受伤部位的烧伤的黄金标准。研究表明,同种异体皮肤移植优于局部抗菌敷料,可以减少烧伤患者的并发症和住院时间。然而,据我们所知,在我国很少有研究调查这些结果。本研究的目的是评估和报告同种异体皮肤移植对伊朗烧伤患者生存的影响。方法:本前瞻性临床试验研究对2017年7月15日至2021年4月27日在德黑兰伊玛目霍梅尼医院烧伤中心住院的患者进行研究。对照组包括住进烧伤病房的未接受同种异体皮肤移植的患者。该组在性别、年龄和烧伤百分比方面与病例组相匹配。我们比较研究的结果是住院时间和出院时患者的状态。研究方案由伊朗临床试验登记处(IRCT)批准,代码为IRCT2016112431074N1 (https://fa.irct.ir/trial/24517)。结果:病例组共112例,对照组共224例。病例组住院时间(41.13±11.7)明显高于对照组(24.6±12.1)。结论:大面积烧伤(50%以上)采用同种异体皮肤移植可降低烧伤患者死亡率,但50%以下烧伤采用同种异体皮肤移植不能有效降低患者死亡率。由于获得这种有价值的产品的途径有限,在50%以下的烧伤中应谨慎使用,并且由于伊朗大多数烧伤中心获得同种异体皮肤移植的途径有限,应优先使用大面积烧伤(50%以上)的患者。

Background: The morphology of distal femur and proximal tibia varies between different ethnicities, and it can affect the tunnel dimensions and positions while doing ACL reconstruction which may affect the clinical outcome. There is limited data on the clinical outcome and CT based tunnel placement evaluation in femur and tibia of Indian nonathletic population.

Methods: Thirty non-athletic patients with mean age of 25.50±6.9 years and ACL rupture who underwent single bundle hamstring autograft arthroscopic ACL reconstruction by anteromedial portal were included in the study. Their preoperative IKDC Score, Lysholm-Tegner score, Tegner activity level were calculated and knee stability was assessed clinically using anterior drawer test, Lachman test and pivot shift test. The CT scan of the operated knee was done once the complete extension of the knee was achieved. Using the multimodality workstation available at the department of radio-diagnosis the tunnel parameters of femoral and tibial tunnel was calculated. After 6 months the patients were reassessed for clinical and radiological outcome. The postoperative outcome was compared with preoperative outcome.

Results: There was a significant difference in preoperative and postoperative score, the difference in IKDC score was 15.08 points, improvement of 14.65 points was seen in Lysholm-Tegner score and there was marked improvement in Tegner activity level. Tests for knee stability were normal in >90% of patients postoperatively. The CT evaluation showed that the femoral tunnels were positioned at 28.45%±3.69% (20.16%-38.35%) along the deep-shallow axis and 25.81%±3.819% (20.69%-37.35%), the mean tunnel obliquity compared to the femoral shaft axis were 47.34°±5.427° (37.68°-58.16°) in the coronal plane and 47.93°±7.023° (35.11°-63.95°), the mean tunnel length was 3.38 cm±0.331 cm (2.79 cm-4.18 cm). The tibial tunnel were positioned at 45.63%±5.832% (32.23%-58.23%) along the anterior-posterior axis and 47.70%±2.26% (42.40%-51.96%) along the medio-lateral axis. The tibial tunnel length was found to be 3.89 cm±0.519 cm (3.05 cm-5.06 cm).

Conclusion: This study helps to ascertain that the ACL reconstruction via anteromedial portal technique using femoral offset zig followed by postoperative home-based rehabilitation technique gives favorable clinical outcomes in Indian non-athletic patients. All patients had improvement in stability of knee after the surgery. The position of femoral tunnels was anatomical but in comparison to Caucasian patients its placement was deeper and higher. Hence, we conclude that the anteromedial portal technique of ACL reconstruction provides favorable clinical outcome and adequate anatomical tunnel placement in Indian non athletic patients.

背景:不同民族股骨远端和胫骨近端形态不同,在进行前交叉韧带重建时,会影响隧道的尺寸和位置,影响临床疗效。关于印度非运动人群股骨和胫骨的临床结果和基于CT的隧道放置评估的数据有限。方法:选取30例平均年龄25.50±6.9岁、ACL破裂的非运动患者,经前内侧门静脉行单束自体腘绳肌腱关节镜下ACL重建术。计算患者术前IKDC评分、Lysholm-Tegner评分、Tegner活动水平,并采用前抽屉试验、Lachman试验和枢轴移位试验临床评估膝关节稳定性。一旦膝关节完全伸展,就进行手术膝关节的CT扫描。利用放射诊断科现有的多模态工作站计算股骨和胫骨隧道参数。6个月后,重新评估患者的临床和放射学结果。将术后与术前结果进行比较。结果:两组患者术前、术后评分差异有统计学意义,IKDC评分差异15.08分,Lysholm-Tegner评分提高14.65分,Tegner活动水平明显改善。>90%的患者术后膝关节稳定性检查正常。CT检查显示,股骨隧道沿深浅轴的位置分别为28.45%±3.69%(20.16% ~ 38.35%)和25.81%±3.819%(20.69% ~ 37.35%),隧道相对于股轴的平均倾角分别为冠状面47.34°±5.427°(37.68°~ 58.16°)和47.93°±7.023°(35.11°~ 63.95°),隧道平均长度为3.38 cm±0.331 cm (2.79 cm ~ 4.18 cm)。胫骨隧道沿前后轴定位45.63%±5.832%(32.23% ~ 58.23%),沿中外侧轴定位47.70%±2.26%(42.40% ~ 51.96%)。胫骨隧道长度为3.89 cm±0.519 cm (3.05 cm-5.06 cm)。结论:本研究有助于确定在印度非运动患者中,采用股骨偏置zig经前内侧门静脉技术重建ACL,并配合术后家庭康复技术,可获得良好的临床效果。所有患者术后膝关节稳定性均有改善。股骨隧道的位置是解剖性的,但与白人患者相比,其位置更深,更高。因此,我们得出结论,前内侧门静脉技术的ACL重建提供了良好的临床结果和适当的解剖隧道放置在印度非运动患者。

Object: Burn is the major cause of disability in developing countries, and most burn patients have burns involving the upper limbs. Upper limb burns can result in scarring, contractures, and weakness, leading to limitation of wide range of movements and social well-being, hence reducing the quality of life. General objective: To determine the quality of life among patients with burns of the upper limbs at KNRH.

Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 108 participants of 5 years and above during their first six months post-discharge from Kiruddu National Referral Hospital with burns to upper limbs. Recruitment was consecutive from the burns unit clinic following ethical approval from the School of Medicine Research and Ethics Committee (SOMREC). Participants were given a burn-related QOL questionnaire. Data were then entered into Epidata 4.2 and imported into STATA 15.1 for analysis. Factors associated with poor quality of life were determined by modified Poisson regression to generate prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals.

Results: A total of 108 participants were recruited for the study; 97 (89.8%) were adults and responded to the adult QOL questionnaire, while the rest were pediatrics. The mean age of the adults was 28 years (SD=8.6), while the median age of the pediatrics was eight years (IQR=6-10), and 61.1% were male. The upper extremity function (physical) quality of life was good, while the social relationship quality of life was poor. The factors associated with poor quality of life were degree (deep) of burns, multiple surgeries, age above 55 years, and being divorced.

Conclusions: There is generally poor upper extremity function or physical QOL among adults and children, while there is generally good social relationship QOL among adults and children.

目的:烧伤是发展中国家致残的主要原因,大多数烧伤患者烧伤累及上肢。上肢烧伤可导致疤痕、挛缩和无力,导致大范围活动和社会福利的限制,从而降低生活质量。总目的:了解KNRH中上肢烧伤患者的生活质量。方法:本横断面研究招募了108名5岁及以上上肢烧伤出院后6个月的患者。在经过医学院研究与伦理委员会(SOMREC)的伦理批准后,从烧伤科诊所连续招募。参与者被给予烧伤相关的生活质量问卷。然后将数据输入Epidata 4.2并导入STATA 15.1进行分析。通过修正泊松回归确定与生活质量差相关的因素,得出具有95%置信区间的患病率。结果:研究共招募了108名参与者;97例(89.8%)为成人,其余为儿科。成人平均年龄28岁(SD=8.6),儿科平均年龄8岁(IQR=6 ~ 10),男性占61.1%。上肢功能(身体)生活质量较好,社会关系生活质量较差。与生活质量差相关的因素是烧伤程度(深度)、多次手术、年龄在55岁以上和离婚。结论:成人与儿童上肢功能或生理生活质量普遍较差,而成人与儿童社会关系生活质量普遍较好。

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are conditions characterized by an immune-mediated skin reaction that results in blistering and epidermal detachment. Most cases are caused by drug hypersensitivity; however, recently there have been many publications documenting the association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and SJS/TEN. Our objective is to explore a case of a 4-year-old female who presented with a papular rash on her thighs that progressively worsened and spread to her face, trunk, and genital area. The patient tested positive for COVID-19. She required treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and IV methylprednisolone, but eventually made a full recovery. This case underscores the need for awareness of the wide spectrum of dermatologic presentations in COVID-19 patients.

史蒂文斯-约翰逊综合征(SJS)和中毒性表皮坏死松解症(TEN)是一种以免疫介导的皮肤反应为特征的疾病,可导致起泡和表皮脱离。大多数病例是由药物过敏引起的;然而,最近有许多出版物记录了2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)与SJS/TEN之间的关联。我们的目的是研究一例4岁的女性,她的大腿上出现丘疹,并逐渐恶化并扩散到她的脸部、躯干和生殖器区域。该患者COVID-19检测呈阳性。她需要静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)和静脉注射甲基强的松龙,但最终完全康复。该病例强调需要认识到COVID-19患者广泛的皮肤病表现。

Non-healing wounds are a major complication of diabetes that can lead to limb amputation and disability in patients. The normal process of wound repair progresses through well-defined stages including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferative, and remodeling, which may be impaired in diabetic wounds. In recent years, it has been reported that keratinocytes, a major cell type in human skin, play a key role in the healing process of wounds. In this overview, firstly, a summary of the wound healing process is provided and the role of keratinocytes in wound healing is briefly reviewed. Then, a set of evidence about the impaired keratinocytes activities in diabetic wounds and clinical trials focused mainly on improving keratinocytes in the context of diabetic wound therapeutics are summarized. Keratinocytes can produce signaling molecules that act in a paracrine and autocrine way, causing pleiotropic effects on various cell types. The affected cells respond to keratinocytes by creating several signaling molecules, which also adjust keratinocyte activation through wound healing. In diabetic wounds, disruption of various biological mechanisms leads to dysfunction of keratinocytes including impaired migration, adhesion, and proliferation. The function of abnormal keratinocytes can lead to poor diabetic wound healing. Taken together, clarification of molecular and functional disturbances of keratinocyte cells and applying them in diabetic wounds can contribute to enhanced treatment of diabetic wounds. Based on the location of keratinocytes in the epidermis and the central role of keratinocytes in the diabetic wound healing process, applying keratinocytes has great potential for the treatment of diabetic burn wounds.

未愈合的伤口是糖尿病的主要并发症,可导致患者截肢和残疾。正常的创面修复过程有几个明确的阶段,包括止血、炎症、增殖和重塑,这些阶段在糖尿病创面中可能会受到损害。近年来,有报道称角质形成细胞是人体皮肤的主要细胞类型,在伤口愈合过程中起着关键作用。在这篇综述中,首先,对伤口愈合过程进行了总结,并简要回顾了角化细胞在伤口愈合中的作用。然后,总结了一系列关于糖尿病创面中角质形成细胞活性受损的证据,以及在糖尿病创面治疗中改善角质形成细胞的临床试验。角质形成细胞可以产生以旁分泌和自分泌方式起作用的信号分子,对各种细胞类型产生多效性作用。受影响的细胞通过产生几种信号分子对角质形成细胞作出反应,这些信号分子也通过伤口愈合调节角质形成细胞的激活。在糖尿病创面中,各种生物机制的破坏导致角化细胞功能障碍,包括迁移、粘附和增殖受损。角质形成细胞功能异常可导致糖尿病创面愈合不良。总之,澄清角质形成细胞的分子和功能紊乱,并将其应用于糖尿病伤口,有助于加强糖尿病伤口的治疗。基于角化细胞在表皮中的位置以及角化细胞在糖尿病创面愈合过程中的核心作用,应用角化细胞治疗糖尿病烧伤创面具有很大的潜力。

Then, a set of evidence about the impaired keratinocytes activities in diabetic wounds and clinical trials focused mainly on improving keratinocytes in the context of diabetic wound therapeutics are summarized. Keratinocytes can produce signaling molecules that act in a paracrine and autocrine way, causing pleiotropic effects on various cell types. The affected cells respond to keratinocytes by creating several signaling molecules, which also adjust keratinocyte activation through wound healing. In diabetic wounds, disruption of various biological mechanisms leads to dysfunction of keratinocytes including impaired migration, adhesion, and proliferation. The function of abnormal keratinocytes can lead to poor diabetic wound healing. Taken together, clarification of molecular and functional disturbances of keratinocyte cells and applying them in diabetic wounds can contribute to enhanced treatment of diabetic wounds. Based on the location of keratinocytes in the epidermis and the central role of keratinocytes in the diabetic wound healing process, applying keratinocytes has great potential for the treatment of diabetic burn wounds.</p>","PeriodicalId":45488,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Burns and Trauma","volume":"11 6","pages":"430-441"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8784740/pdf/ijbt0011-0430.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39580406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trauma nurses commonly encounter stress and burnout and have increased negative affect states and decreased positive affect traits. This study investigated whether trauma center nurses would have improvements in wellbeing scores after reading and contemplating Spiritual Flow: Pathways to Proficient Patient Care and Nurse & Physician Wellbeing (Spiritual Flow). Trauma center surgical intensive care unit nurses completed a baseline and follow-up survey before and after reading and contemplating Spiritual Flow, which provides insights into spirituality and mindfulness. The survey contained four positive affect (PA) items, each rated 1-very little to 5-extremely, that were summed to create a PA score (PAS). The seven negative affect (NA) survey items were similarly rated and reverse coded, 1-extremely to 5-very little, to create a nonstress score (NSS). The PAS (4-20) and NSS (7-35) were summed to create a wellbeing score (WS). Nurses rated the degree to which they felt more peaceful or inspired after contemplating the book. Thirty-seven of 39 (95%) routine nursing staff members completed both surveys. Follow-up values increased for WS (P = 0.0001) and NSS (P = 0.0001) after reading and contemplating Spiritual Flow compared to baseline values. No changes occurred for PAS (P = 0.1606). Because 16% of nurses had a high PAS on the baseline survey, further analyses were performed on the other 84%. Significantly increased values were noted on follow-up for PAS (P = 0.0171), NSS (P = 0.0015), and WS (P = 0.0003) compared to baseline scores. Of 37 nurses, 24 (64.9%) rated feeling more peaceful and/or inspired as moderately or quite a bit. This pilot study suggests that contemplating Spiritual Flow was associated with improvements in surgical intensive care trauma center nurse wellbeing. These preliminary findings need to be confirmed in an investigation that includes a control group and randomization.

创伤护士通常会遇到压力和倦怠,消极情绪状态增加,积极情绪特征减少。本研究调查创伤中心护士在阅读和思考《精神流:通往熟练病人护理的途径》和《护士和医生的幸福》(精神流)后,是否会有幸福感的提高。创伤中心外科重症监护室的护士在阅读和思考“精神流”之前和之后完成了一项基线和后续调查,该调查提供了对灵性和正念的见解。该调查包含四个积极影响(PA)项目,每个项目的评分为1-非常少到5-非常,这些项目被汇总成一个PA分数(PAS)。七个负面影响(NA)调查项目同样被评级和反向编码,1-极端到5-非常少,以创建一个非压力得分(NSS)。PAS(4-20)和NSS(7-35)被加起来形成一个幸福分数(WS)。护士们对她们在阅读这本书后感到更加平静或受到启发的程度进行了评分。39名常规护理人员中有37名(95%)完成了这两项调查。与基线值相比,阅读和思考精神流后WS (P = 0.0001)和NSS (P = 0.0001)的随访值增加。PAS无变化(P = 0.1606)。由于16%的护士在基线调查中具有高PAS,因此对另外84%的护士进行了进一步分析。与基线评分相比,PAS (P = 0.0171)、NSS (P = 0.0015)和WS (P = 0.0003)的随访值显著增加。在37名护士中,24名(64.9%)认为感觉更平静和/或更受鼓舞是中度或相当程度的。这项初步研究表明,思考精神流与外科重症监护创伤中心护士福祉的改善有关。这些初步发现需要在包括对照组和随机化的调查中得到证实。

Introduction: Burns is the most common condition that requires extensive skin grafting. Treatment of burns is associated with long hospital stays, expensive medications, multiple surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation. Rapid healing of skin donor areas in partial-thickness burn wounds is important for the patient. Partial-thickness skin grafting is a technique that can reduce healing time and improve the treatment. Nanocrystalline silver contains antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Agicoat in the treatment of partial-thickness skin graft donor sites of burn patients in terms of healing time, pain and scarring.

Method: This clinical trial study was performed on 100 patients who burn and were referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran from July to January 2020. Patients with second- and third-degree burns who had burned 10 to 30 percent of their body surface and required partial-thickness skin graft surgery, were considered for this study. Each patient was compared to herself. The skin donor site was then randomly divided into three parts A, B and C and each part was dressed with AgicoatTM, Mepitel and Vaseline gauze. On days 4 and 8, the amount of pain when changing the dressing was recorded based on visual analog scale (VAS). After six months, the patients were evaluated and compared for the scarring site based on Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS).

Result: Comparison of the average healing time between groups showed that the average healing time in both groups was significantly shorter than the Vaseline group (P=0.005). Comparison of wound pain between groups on Day 4 showed that the mean pain in the Agicoat group and also the Mepitel group was significantly lower than the Vaseline group (P=0.004). However, Agicoat and Mepitel groups did not show a significant difference. Also, a comparison of pain between groups on Day 8 and the mean VAS six months after skin graft showed no difference between groups.

Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, if the Agicoat dressing is cost-effective, it can be a good alternative to cover the wound of the skin donor site, and it heals faster and reduces pain.

简介:烧伤是最常见的情况,需要广泛的皮肤移植。烧伤的治疗与长期住院、昂贵的药物、多次手术和长期康复有关。在部分厚度烧伤创面中,皮肤供区快速愈合对患者非常重要。局部植皮是一种缩短愈合时间,改善治疗效果的技术。纳米晶银含有抗菌和抗炎的特性。本研究旨在从愈合时间、疼痛和瘢痕形成等方面评价Agicoat治疗烧伤患者部分厚皮供区移植的疗效。方法:对2020年7月至1月在德黑兰伊玛目霍梅尼医院转诊的100例烧伤患者进行临床试验研究。二度和三度烧伤的患者,烧伤体表10%至30%,需要部分厚度的皮肤移植手术,被纳入本研究。每个病人都与自己作了比较。然后将皮肤供体部位随机分为A、B、C三部分,每个部分分别用AgicoatTM、美必得和凡士林纱布包扎。第4、8天,采用视觉模拟评分法(VAS)记录换药时的疼痛程度。6个月后,根据温哥华疤痕量表(VSS)对患者的疤痕部位进行评估和比较。结果:两组患者平均愈合时间比较,两组患者平均愈合时间均显著短于凡士林组(P=0.005)。第4天各组伤口疼痛比较,Agicoat组和Mepitel组的平均疼痛明显低于凡士林组(P=0.004)。而agiccoat组和Mepitel组无显著性差异。此外,组间疼痛在第8天的比较和植皮后6个月的平均VAS显示组间无差异。结论:根据本研究结果,如果Agicoat敷料具有成本效益,则可作为皮肤供区创面的良好替代敷料,且愈合更快,疼痛减轻。

Introduction: There are several studies on the angle of the femoral neck in different countries. It seems that data of diverse races might help the prediction of femoral neck fractures. The present study aimed to evaluate the femoral neck-shaft angle (FNSA) as a predictive factor of neck fracture in Iranian people.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the FNSA was measured using radiographs in 635 patients referred to Poursina Hospital in Rasht from September 2018 to October 2019. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated, age and sex of patients were recorded. Data were analyzed by SPSS. The level of statistical significance was adjusted to P<0.05.

Results: According to the measured variables, gender, age, BMI and right FNSA are significant in the way that participants with normal BMI have higher FNSA. FNSA decreased with age and height. Obese people had lower FNSA than normal and overweight people. Comparison of left and right angles using the Wilcoxon test showed a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The right side FNSA was more than the left (59.94%). Only in 39.9%, the left FNSA was more than the right, and in 0.15% both were the same.

Conclusion: The present cross-sectional study shows a significant relationship between BMI and FNSA. It is suggested that physician evaluates these parameters for prediction of fracture risk in individuals.

Background: Treatments of pilon fracture is an important operative challenge due to high prevalence of post-operative complications. In this paper, we aimed to evaluate the complications of the use of low profile plates for pilon fractures.

Methods: This clinical trial that was performed in 2017-2021 in Isfahan on 27 patients with pilon fractures. Demographic data of patients such as age, gender, type of pilon fracture and baseline pathology of pilon fractures were collected. Patients were treated using low profile plates under surgical procedures. Within 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after surgeries, patients were visited and assessed regarding superficial wound infections, deep wound infections, and evidence of osteomyelitis, vascular injuries, non-union and mal-union using both physical examinations and imaging studies via X-ray. We also measured the functions of cases using The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) questionnaire.

Results: Most cases had 3 days (33.3%) and 5 days (33.3%) of hospitalization. Superficial wound infection was observed in 7 cases (26%). Deep surgical site infections were observed in 2 cases (7.4%) and we had only 1 case of osteomyelitis (3.7%). No vascular injuries were observed in this study. Evaluation of union among patients showed that 2 cases (7.4%) had non-union and 5 cases (18.5%) had malunion in the anterior-posterior axis, but none of the patients had malunion in the coronal axis. Based on AOFAS questionnaire, the mean score in patients was 88.36±14.20.

Conclusion: Treatments of pilon fractures by low profile plates have similar complications compared to other treatment options.

背景:由于术后并发症的高发,治疗枕部骨折是一个重要的手术挑战。在本文中,我们的目的是评估使用低轮廓钢板治疗枕部骨折的并发症。方法:该临床试验于2017-2021年在伊斯法罕对27例皮隆骨折患者进行。收集患者年龄、性别、枕部骨折类型、枕部骨折基线病理等人口学资料。患者在手术过程中使用低轮廓钢板治疗。在术后1个月、3个月和6个月内,通过体格检查和x线影像学检查对患者进行检查,评估伤口浅表感染、深部感染、骨髓炎、血管损伤、骨不连和骨不连的证据。我们还使用美国骨科足踝评分(AOFAS)问卷来测量病例的功能。结果:多数病例住院时间为3 d (33.3%), 5 d(33.3%)。创面感染7例(26%)。深部手术部位感染2例(7.4%),骨髓炎1例(3.7%)。本研究未见血管损伤。患者愈合评价显示2例(7.4%)不愈合,5例(18.5%)前后轴不愈合,冠状轴不愈合无一例。基于AOFAS问卷,患者平均得分为88.36±14.20分。结论:与其他治疗方案相比,采用低轮廓钢板治疗枕部骨折并发症相似。

Introduction: Hemiarthroplasty is considered to be the treatment of choice for femoral neck fractures in elderly, however there is no consensus to support the choice between unipolar or bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Several studies found that patients with bipolar hemiarthroplasty had a better outcome of pain, a higher rate of return to the pre-injury state, and a greater range of hip motion. Some studies have demonstrated equal hip functional outcome between unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty, but unipolar hemiarthroplasty was favoured due to its lower cost. The purpose of this study was to compare the functional and radiological outcome of cemented unipolar vs modular bipolar hemiarthroplasty in displaced femoral neck fracture in elderly patient population.

Methods: It is a prospective randomized study, with 44 patients in each group. Elderly Patients (>60 years of age) with traumatic displaced femoral neck fractures were included in the study. Cemented unipolar or modular bipolar hemiarthroplasty was performed in the respective patient groups using posterior or anterolateral approach. Functional outcome evaluation was done by Harris Hip Score and radiological outcome evaluation was done for acetabular erosion. The data was entered in MS EXCEL spread sheet and analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 (IBM, Chicago).

Results: The mean age in the unipolar and bipolar group was 67.2 and 66.1 years respectively. The average follow-up period was 20.1 and 22.3 months in the unipolar and bipolar group respectively. Mean operating time was significantly more in the modular bipolar group (78.3 minutes) compared to the unipolar group (67.3 minutes). Two patients (4.5%) had acetabular erosion in each group. Mean Harris Hip score at 3 months follow-up was significantly higher (p value <0.05) in bipolar group (75.8±4.2) than the unipolar group (77.7±2.9). However, subsequent follow-ups at 6 months (80.9±2.8, 82.0±2.5, p value >0.05) 12 months (83.1±2.2, 83.2±1.2, p value >0.05) and 24 months (85.5±2.4, 85.2±2.8, p value >0.05) did not show any significant difference between the two groups. The incidence of general complications was 34% in bipolar and 20.4% in unipolar hemiarthroplasty group.

Conclusion: Functional outcome in terms of Harris Hip Score are better in the bipolar group at 3 months follow up but there was no significant difference in the functional outcome between the two groups at 6, 12 and 24 months follow up. The operative time for unipolar is lower and statistically significant compared to bipolar hemiarthroplasty of the hip.

引言:半关节置换术被认为是老年人股骨颈骨折的首选治疗方法,但是在单极半关节置换术和双极半关节置换术之间的选择尚无共识。几项研究发现,双相半关节置换术患者的疼痛效果更好,恢复到损伤前状态的比率更高,髋关节活动范围更大。一些研究表明,单极半关节置换术和双极半关节置换术的髋关节功能结果相同,但单极半关节置换术因其较低的成本而受到青睐。本研究的目的是比较骨水泥单极半关节置换术与模块化双极半关节置换术治疗老年移位性股骨颈骨折的功能和影像学结果。方法:采用前瞻性随机研究,每组44例。老年外伤性股骨颈移位骨折患者(>60岁)被纳入研究。分别采用后路或前外侧入路对患者组进行骨水泥单极或模块化双极半关节置换术。用Harris髋关节评分评估功能结果,对髋臼糜烂进行放射学结果评估。数据输入到MS EXCEL电子表格中,使用SPSS 20.0版本(IBM,芝加哥)进行分析。结果:单极组和双相组的平均年龄分别为67.2岁和66.1岁。单极和双相组的平均随访时间分别为20.1个月和22.3个月。模块化双相组的平均手术时间(78.3分钟)明显多于单极组(67.3分钟)。两组均有2例(4.5%)发生髋臼糜烂。随访3个月Harris髋关节平均评分显著增高(p值p值>0.05),12个月(83.1±2.2,83.2±1.2,p值>0.05),24个月(85.5±2.4,85.2±2.8,p值>0.05),两组间差异无统计学意义。双极半关节置换术组一般并发症发生率为34%,单极半关节置换术组为20.4%。结论:双相情感障碍组在随访3个月时Harris髋关节评分的功能结局较好,但在随访6、12、24个月时两组功能结局无显著差异。与双极半髋关节置换术相比,单极半髋关节置换术的手术时间更短,具有统计学意义。

Several studies found that patients with bipolar hemiarthroplasty had a better outcome of pain, a higher rate of return to the pre-injury state, and a greater range of hip motion. Some studies have demonstrated equal hip functional outcome between unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty, but unipolar hemiarthroplasty was favoured due to its lower cost. The purpose of this study was to compare the functional and radiological outcome of cemented unipolar vs modular bipolar hemiarthroplasty in displaced femoral neck fracture in elderly patient population.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>It is a prospective randomized study, with 44 patients in each group. Elderly Patients (>60 years of age) with traumatic displaced femoral neck fractures were included in the study. Cemented unipolar or modular bipolar hemiarthroplasty was performed in the respective patient groups using posterior or anterolateral approach. Functional outcome evaluation was done by Harris Hip Score and radiological outcome evaluation was done for acetabular erosion. The data was entered in MS EXCEL spread sheet and analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 (IBM, Chicago).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The mean age in the unipolar and bipolar group was 67.2 and 66.1 years respectively. The average follow-up period was 20.1 and 22.3 months in the unipolar and bipolar group respectively. Mean operating time was significantly more in the modular bipolar group (78.3 minutes) compared to the unipolar group (67.3 minutes). Two patients (4.5%) had acetabular erosion in each group. Mean Harris Hip score at 3 months follow-up was significantly higher (<i>p</i> value <0.05) in bipolar group (75.8±4.2) than the unipolar group (77.7±2.9). However, subsequent follow-ups at 6 months (80.9±2.8, 82.0±2.5, <i>p</i> value >0.05) 12 months (83.1±2.2, 83.2±1.2, <i>p</i> value >0.05) and 24 months (85.5±2.4, 85.2±2.8, <i>p</i> value >0.05) did not show any significant difference between the two groups.
