The clinical experience of rest-oration of apposition function in 75cases of 83 hands, since 1960, wasreported. Thirty-eight cases had beenfollowed-up with an averege time 8. 5years. The excellent recovery ratewas 65. 5% . The indication of vari-ous restoration methods. choose ofthe acting muscle, reconstructionof the trochlea. the supplementaryoperation and the rehabitation methodswere discussed. The author notedthat the most applicable muscleswere flexor digitorum superficialis,extensor carpi ulnaris and flexor carpi ulnaris, with the musele power ber than 4 degree. The trochlea must be stble and a distance from the tendon inserticn.
From 1978 to Dec. 1991, 50 cases of dilatation of the extrahepatic biliary duct in children were treated. They were classified as: cystic dilatation in 34 cases, arid fusiform dilatation in 16 cases. Types of reconstruction of the extrahepatic biliary duct included: excision of cystic dilatation and Rorx-en-Y hepatoductojejunostomy in 25 cases, and interposition of jejunum and hepatoductoduodenostomy in 9 eases. for those cases having fusiform dilatation, interposition of jejunum and hepatoductoduodenostomy，cases and Rorx-en-Y-hepatoductojejunostmy 5 cases.The follow-up period averajed 6.5 years. Forty nine patients were recoverwd from the teatment and 1 patient died.
Objective To study the reparative and reconstructive for proximal humerus defect due to the excision of bone tumor with noninternal fixation non-vascularised fibular autografts. Methods From June 1991 toDecember 2003, 26 non-vascularised fibular grafts were used as substitutes for repair and reconstruction after resection for bone tumors on proximal humerus. Fifteen cases were given curettage and fibular supporting internal fixation, the other 11 cases were given tumor resection and joint reconstruction with proximal fibular graft. The age ranged from 6 to 41 years. Out of 26 patients, 5 had giant cell tumor, 9 had bone cysts, 8 had fibrous dysplasia and 4 had enchondroma. Results Twenty-six patients were followed up from 1 to 12 years (3.4 years on average). Local recurrence was found in 2 cases, and 1 of them died of lung metastasis. Both outlook and function of the reconstructed joints have good results in 15 proximal humeral joint surface reserved cases. Of them, 3 children gained normal shoulder function 3 weeks after operation. Part function were obtained in the other 11 fibular grafts substituted proximal humeral defect. Conclusion Non-vascularised fibular grafts is an appropriate treatment option for proximal humerus bone defect due to excision of bone tumor.
Objective To assess the long-time results of reconstruction of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) function by transfer of the extensorindicis(EI). Methods From August 1978 to March 2003, 46 cases of loss of the EPL function were treatedby transfer of the extensor indicis. Of 46 cases, there were 32 males and 14 females, aged 16-51 years with an average of 36 years; there were 24 cases of oldtraumatic rupture and 22 cases of secondary rupture. The disease course was 2 days to 5 months, averaged 74 days. A specific EIEPL evaluation method (SEEM) wasused to measure the EPL function after transfer.Results Fortyone cases were followed up 9 years and 3 months on average (7 months to 23 years). Based on the SEEM, the results were excellent and good in 39 of 41 patients. The elevation deficit and combined flexion deficit were 0-2.2 cm (1.8 cm on average) and 0-3 cm (1.6 cm on average); the independent extension deficit was 0°-8° (5° on average). Conclusion Restoration of the extensor pollicis function by transfer of the extensor indicis is an effective and safe treatment option and the SEEM is a valid method for assessing EPL function.
Objective To investigate the clinicalvalue of modified Weaver-Dunn technique in repair of acute acromioclavicular dislocation. Methods From January 1993 to December 1998, 18 cases of acromioclavicular dislocation were treated bymodified Weaver-Dunn technique, and other 17 cases of the same suffering were treated by tension band fixation of the acromioclavicular joints. All of the patients were followed up for 12-36 months before clinical evaluation of the functionof shoulder joints, according to University of Pennsylvanian Shoulder Score System. Results In short term, the shoulder joints recovered much more rapidly in the cases repaired by modified Weaver-Dunn technique; 12, 24 and 36 months after operation, the scores of the cases repaired by modified Weaver-Dunn technique were (1897±67), (193.7±3.6) and (194.7±3.4) respectively according to the Shoulder Score System, while those of the cases treated by tension band fixation were (167.3±7.8), (170.2±6.3) and (165.6±5.9) respectively. The above data indicated that there was significant difference between two groups (P＜0.05). Conclusion The modified Weaver-Dunn technique was a better surgical approach than tension band fixation for repair of acute acromioclavicular dislocation.
ObjectiveTo explore advantages and feasibility of a new prosthesis implantation method after breast cancer surgery by reacquaint breast anatomy. MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of patients with breast cancer were retrospectively collected. The patients underwent the breast cancer surgery and prosthesis implantation with cricoid breast ligament in the Xuzhou Cancer Hospital from January 1, 2021 to May 30, 2023. ResultsA total of 10 patients were collected, with age ranging from 31 to 59 years old. Three patients received postoperative analgesia, 2 patients occurred infection, 1 patient occurred fat liquefaction. All patients did not experience capsular contracture, flap necrosis, or removal of the prosthesis. Two patients had sentinel lymph node metastasis. All patients followed-up 3 to 24 months after surgery. The BREAST-Q questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life and satisfaction after surgery, 3 patients were very satisfied, 5 were satisfied, and 2 were basically satisfied. ConclusionFrom the results of limited cases analysis in this study, it is safe and feasible to implant the prosthesis with cricoid breast ligament in selected patients after breast cancer surgery.
Objective
To establish the three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of the knee joint including posterolateral complex (PLC), and to simulate the reconstruction biomechanical analysis in this model.
Methods
The knee of a 26-year-old healthy man was scanned by MRI to obtain the image data of the knee in the coronal, sagittal, and axial position. First, Mimics10.01 and Hyperworks 8.0 softwares were used to extract each slice profile data of the knee joint in a two-dimensional image data respectively and to establish 3D geometric model of bone, meniscus, articular cartilage, and ligament. Second, Unigraphics software NX 4.0 was used to establish a 3D finite element model of knee joint, which had the functions of Mesh, material properties, component connection, and contact definition. Third, displacement measurement on the model and reconstructing biomechanical analysis for PLC simulation were performed.
Results
The 3D finite element model of the knee joint including PLC was established successfully. Under 134 N forward force, the tibia forward displacement was 4.83 mm. PLC simulation reconstruction biomechanical analysis of the 3D finite element model of the knee joint showed that under 10 N·m varus and external rotation torque conditions, the knee varus and external rotation angles of simulation reconstruction were greater than those of the intact knee, and less than those of PLC missing.
Conclusion
The 3D finite element model of the knee joint including PLC can be established by the reverse engineering, and it is valid and can be used as the basis for the biomechanical properties to analog reconstruction of PLC.
