Postoperative Fracture Healing Effects of Locking Compression Plate for the Treatment of Limb Fractures

Objectives To study the effects of applying locking compression plates in the treatment of patients with limb fractures on postoperative fracture healing.Methods:115 patients with limb fractures who were treated in our hospital from November 2019 to November 2020 were selected.In order to study the effective treatment method,the random-number table method was used in this study to divide the patients into two groups,namely the experimental group and the control group,and the locking compression plate treatment method and the pure plate and screw internal fixation treatment method were administered respectively to study their clinical application effects.Results:Compared with the control group,patients in the experimental group had a lower incidence of complications,shorter hospitalizations and shorter recovery time.Meanwhile,the experimental group had a better quality of recovery,and all data were significantly different from those of the control group,P<0.05,the intervention effect of the experimental group was better.Conclusion:The application of the locking compression plate in the treatment of patients with limb fractures is more conducive to promoting the postoperative healing of the patients'fractures,reducing the incidence of postoperative complications,and promoting the rapid recovery of patients,which has positive significance for clinical development.

Observation on the Anesthesia Effect of Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Block for Elderly Patients with Lower Limb Fractures

Objective:To explore the anesthesia effect of ultrasound-guided nerve block in elderly patients with lower limb fractures.Methods:From November 2017 to November 2020,50 elderly patients with lower limb fractures in our hospital were divided into experimental group(25 cases,general anesthesia+femoral nerve and sciatic nerve block)and control group(25 cases,general body anesthesia).Compare the MAP,HR,anesthesia effect,and adverse reactions between the two groups at each time period.Results:Before induction,the difference in MAP and HR between the two groups of patients did not form,p>0.05;the MAP and HR of the experimental group were compared with the control group at the time of skin incision,1 hour during the operation,and removal of the laryngeal mask,P<0.05;the time of extubation in the experimental group(14.28±3.18)min,awake time(5.57±1.32)min,orientation recovery time(11.89±2.23)min,propofol dosage(191.36±22.48)mg,remifentanil dosage(0.23±0.04)mg,Compared with the control group,P<0.05;the adverse reaction rate of the experimental group(8%,2/25)was lower than that of the control group(32%,8/25),P<0.05.Conclusion:The use of ultrasound-guided femoral nerve and sciatic nerve block for elderly patients with lower limb fractures can enhance the effect of anesthesia,effectively reduce the use of anesthetics,and have fewer adverse reactions.It is worthy of promotion.

Development of an experimental method for well-controlled blast induced traumatic limb fracture in rats

Heterotopic ossification(HO)is a consequence of traumatic bone and tissue damage,which occurs in 65%of military casualties with blast-associated amputations.However,the mechanisms behind blast-induced HO remain unclear.Animal models are used to study blast-induced HO,but developing such models is challenging,particularly in how to use a pure blast wave(primary blast)to induce limb fracture that then requires an amputation.Several studies,including our recent study,have developed platforms to induce limb fractures in rats with blast loading or a mixture of blast and impact loading.However,these models are limited by the survivability of the animal and repeatability of the model.In this study,we developed an improved platform,aiming to improve the animal's survivability and injury repeatability as well as focusing on primary blast only.The platform exposed only one limb of the rat to a blast wave while providing proper protection to the rest of the rat's body.We obtained very consistent fracture outcome in the tibia(location and pattern)in cadaveric rats with a large range of size and weight.Importantly,the rats did not obviously move during the test,where movement is a potential cause of uncontrolled injury.We further conducted parametric studies by varying the features of the design of the platform.These factors,such as how the limb is fixed and how the cavity through which the limb is placed is sealed,significantly affect the resulting injury.This platform and test setups enable well-controlled limb fracture induced directly by pure blast wave,which is the fundamental step towards a complete in vivo animal model for blast-induced HO induced by primary blast alone,excluding secondary and tertiary blast injury.In addition,the platform design and the findings presented here,particularly regarding the proper protection of the animal,have implications for future studies investigating localized blast injuries,such as blast induced brain and lung injuries.

Combined effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine decoction and low-molecular-weight heparin calcium on the postoperative deep venous thrombosis in patients with lower limb fracture

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the combined effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) decoction and low-molecular-weight heparin calcium on deep vein thrombosis(DVT) induced by surgery in patients with lower limb fracture.METHODS: Totally 86 hospitalized patients with DVT after surgery of lower limb fracture between September 2012 and January 2015 were recruited and randomly divided into control group and observation group, 43 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with subcutaneous injection of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium, and those in the observation group were additionally given Danshen Injection and TCM decoction. The differences between two groups in occurrence rate, medication time, therapeutic effects,recurrence rate of thrombosis, activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), and prothrombin time(PT) were compared.RESULTS: The occurrence rate of DVT in observation group(4.65%, 2/43) was lower than that in control group(27.91%,12/43)(P<0.05). The medication time of observation group was(6.15±2.94) d, shorter than(9.76±3.12) d in the control group(P<0.05). In observation group, 2 cases of DVT were cured(2/2); in the control group, 9 cases presented therapeutic effects and the total effective rate was 75.00%(9/12). The improvement of APTT and PT in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Integrative TCM decoction plus low-molecularweight heparin calcium is superior to applicaton of low-molecularweight heparin calcium alone in reducing and treating DVT in the postoperative patients with lower limb fracture.

Effect of Locking Compression Plate on the Treatment of Limb Fracture and the Effect of Operative Success Rate and Postoperative Recovery Time

Objective:To analyze the effect of locking compression plate on the success rate of operation and the time of postoperative recovery.Methods:120 patients with limb fractures from March 2018 to March 2020 were randomly divided into control group(60 cases)and observation group(60 cases).The control group was treated with plate screw internal fixation,The observation group used locking compression plate internal fixation,Compare the effect of treatment,the success rate of operation and the time of postoperative recovery.results:compared the effective rate of the two groups,the observation group(93.33%)was significantly higher than the control group(75.00%).Compared with the two groups,the success rate of operation and the time of postoperative recovery,the observed composition power was higher than that of the control group,and the postoperative recovery time was lower than that of the control group,P<0.05.Conclusion:The use of locking compression plate for the treatment of limb fracture can significantly increase the probability of successful operation,shorten the recovery time after operation,the overall curative effect is ideal,and the clinical popularization value is high.
