Methods：One hundred and twenty patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy were treated by anterior decompression and reconstruction using titanium mesh with locking plates. There were 66 men and 54 women ranges in age from 37 to 72 Years（mean age, 58.3 years）. The mean Japanese orthopedic surgery association（JOA） scale was 9.6 points before operation. Patients were followed up clinically and radiographically. Results：Having stood surgery well, the operation time ranged between 60-100 min and bleeding during operation ranged between 20-200 ml. There were no case of postoperative infection, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, or esophageal or tracheal laceration or rupture. The average follow-up period was 14.3 months（range, 12 to 24 months） in 96 who were followed up. At the last follow-up visit the mean JOA scale had improved to 14.4 points, reflecting an improvement of 4.8 points. The results were considered to be excellent in 87 patients, good in 25, fair in 6, and poor in 2. No hardware-related complications or adjacent segment degenerative changes were encountered during the follow-up periods. Stable bone union was observed in all cases and the average time required for fusion was 5.7 months. Conclusion：Titanium mesh filled with autologous bone graft can avoid the complications associated with harvesting bone from the iliac crest donor site. When combined with cervical anterior locking plate, it can obtain satisfatory clinical results for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.展开更多

The detrimental effect from the formation of TiFe ,TiC,and a Si-enriched layer on the bonding strength was clarified, and an industrial-scaled titanium-clad steel plate with shear strength over 200 MPa was produced with a carefully set schedule accordingly. It was found that hot rolling titanium-clad steel plates had a flat interface without obvious cracks. In the rolling process,both Ti and Fe atoms interdiflhsed,but Fe difthsed much faster than Ti. The Fe-diffused area consisted of three regions. After a high temperature heat treatment, the diffusion depth of Fe and Ti elements increased significantly and evident Si segregation and TiFe layers were identified. Thermal cracking initiated in the Si segregation layer and then propagated along the TiFe layer and Fe-diffused layer on the titanium side.展开更多

Methods 64 cases of cervical prolapse of intervertebral disc were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients were followed up for about one year. Group A is composed of 20 patients (30 intervertebral spaces) treated with microdiscectomy and Solis cage fusion; group B is composed of 21 patients(22 intervertebral spaces) treated with titanium cage and group C is involved of 23 patients(28 intervertebral spaces) which were dealt with AICG combined with titanium plate. The differences in the total X ray exposure time, time working on iliac bone, incidence of complications, fusion rate, incidence of JOA score recovery rate more than 50% and rehabilitation time of the three groups are analyzed. Results All indexes from group A and B were more satisfactory than those from group C (P<0.05). The statistic analysis results of the incidence of complications of cervical part, rehabilitation time in group A are 5.0±1.8, 5.1±1.2; and that is 14.3±2.6, 7.5 ±1.6 and 26.1±6.2, 8.6±2.3 in group B and group C respectively. There is significant difference between group A and group B on the incidence of complications of cervical part and rehabilitation time (P<0.05). Results of the incidence of JOA score recovery rate >50% in group A(95.8±3.2) was more satisfactory than that in group B(93.6±2.9), while there was no statistical difference between group A and group B (P>0.05). Conclusion The Solis cage is better in treating the cervical prolapse of intervertebral disc than other ways. Also, it makes the operation easier, rehabilitation time shorter, and it causes fewer complications.展开更多

Because they are flexible and pliable, titanium plates are proposed to reconstruct the chest wall, even though such chest wall reconstruction has been performed in only a few cases worldwide. We present a case of a 49-year-old man with a chondrosarcoma arising from the left 1st rib, invading the manubrium, clavicle, 2nd and 3rd ribs, and the anterior segment of the left upper lobe. After wide resection, the chest wall was reconstructed using titanium rib plates and Marlex mesh- the Bovine pericardium sandwich type. The patient tolerated the pain well, and fourteen months after surgery, the chest wall was well preserved function mobility and improved pulmonary function test.展开更多

Though a bone/metal interface in osseointegration was also formed on the surface of uncoated 317L plate screw after implantation, a smal1 space was seen between the bone and surface of the screw, indicating that the tissue compatibility of titanium-coated 317L plate screw may be better than that of the non-coated screw.展开更多
