Abstract
In this study, we treated infected ankle bone defects with the induced membrane two-stage technique. The ankle was fused with a retrograde intramedullary nail in the second stage, and the aim of this study was to observe the clinical effect. We retrospectively enrolled patients with infected bone defects of the ankle admitted to our hospital between July 2016 and July 2018. In the first stage, the ankle was temporarily stabilized with a locking plate, and antibiotic bone cement was used to fill the defects after debridement. In the second stage, the plate and cement were removed, the ankle was stabilized with a retrograde nail, and tibiotalar-calcaneal fusion was performed. Then, autologous bone was used to rebuild the defects. The infection control rate, fusion success rate and complications were observed. Fifteen patients were enrolled in the study with an average follow-up of 30 months. Among them, there were 11 males and 4 females. The average bone defect length after debridement was 5.3 cm (2.1-8.7 cm). Finally, 13 patients (86.6%) achieved bone union without recurrence of infection, and 2 patients experienced recurrence after bone grafting. The average ankle-hindfoot function score (AOFAS) increased from 29.75 ± 4.37 to 81.06 ± 4.72 at the last follow-up. The induced membrane technique combined with a retrograde intramedullary nail for the treatment of infected bone defects of the ankle after thorough debridement is an effective treatment method.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2022; 33:1223-1230.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Consensus is lacking regarding management of posttraumatic infected diaphyseal nonunions of femur following intramedullary nailing. Present study reports outcomes of single stage standardised treatment protocol using monolateral rail external fixator/limb reconstruction system in this type of infected diaphyseal femoral nonunions. METHODS This retrospective study included 26 patients with mean age of 31.7 years having posttraumatic infected diaphyseal femoral nonunions following intramedullary nailing and managed with radical debridement and monolateral rail fixator. The results were assessed by Association for the Study and Application of the Method of Ilizarov criteria. RESULTS Mean intraoperative bone gap was 4.34 (range, 2-7) cm. Mean gain in bone length was 4.04 (range, 0-7) cm. Fracture united primarily in 22 cases and after freshening of edges, fixator adjustment and fibular grafting in three more patients. Infection persisted in one patient. Most common complications were superficial pin tract infection (15 patients) and loss of more than 30° knee flexion (13 patients). The bone results were excellent, good, and poor in 15, 9, and 2 patients, respectively. The functional results were excellent, good, fair, and poor in 11,13,1 and 1 patient, respectively. CONCLUSION Single stage procedure including radical debridement, acute docking, distraction osteogenesis at corticotomy site and stabilization with monolateral rail fixator reliably achieves good to excellent bone and functional results, union and eradication of infection in majority of infected nonunions of femoral diaphysis developing after intramedullary fixation. We recommend acute docking in bone gap ≤ 5 cm.

Abstract
The Ilizarov method is one of the current methods used in bone reconstruction. It originated in the middle of the past century and comprises a number of bone reconstruction techniques executed with a ring external fixator developed by Ilizarov GA. Its main merits are viable new bone formation through distraction osteogenesis, high union rates and functional use of the limb throughout the course of treatment. The study of the phenomenon of distraction osteogenesis induced by tension stress with the Ilizarov apparatus was the impetus for advancement in bone reconstruction surgery. Since then, the original method has been used along with a number of its modifications developed due to emergence of new fixation devices and techniques of their application such as hexapod external fixators and motorized intramedullary lengthening nails. They gave rise to a relatively new orthopedic subspecialty termed “limb lengthening and reconstruction surgery”. Based on a comprehensive literature search, we summarized the recent clinical practice and research in bone reconstruction by the Ilizarov method with a special focus on its modification and recognition by the world orthopedic community. The international influence of the Ilizarov method was reviewed in regard to the origin country of the authors and journal’s rating. The Ilizarov method and other techniques based on distraction osteogenesis have been used in many countries and on all populated continents. It proves its international significance and confirms the greatest contribution of Ilizarov GA to bone reconstruction surgery.

A retrospective cohort study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2021; 22:414. [PMID: 33952231 PMCID: PMC8097853 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-021-04283-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of successful revision operation on health quality of life(QoL) and functional outcome in humeral nonunion patients. Methods This retrospective study included 62 patients with humeral nonunion from Northwest China, who were admitted to the Department of Trauma Surgery, Honghui Hospital between March 2013 and September 2019. The following data were retrospectively evaluated: demographic data, clinical data, imaging findings, and treatment methods. The QoL assessment indicators for humeral nonunion patients included the SF-12 mental component summary (MCS) and physical component summary (PCS),brief pain inventory-severity(BPI-S) and brief pain inventory-interference (BPI-I). The mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) was used to assess the elbow function of the patients. Results Successful revision surgery significantly improved the patient's PCS, MCS, BPI-S and BPI-I scores (p<0.001). According to the MEPS criteria, the excellent and good rates were 95.16% in this study. The impact of humeral nonunion on mental health was comparable with the reported impact of stroke and type II diabetes (p>0.05).The impact of post-op on physical health was comparable with the reported impact of COPD, silicosis, hypertension, barrentt’s esophagus and lower urinary tract symptoms(p>0.05). Conclusion Humeral nonunion is a devastating chronic medical condition that negatively affects both physical and mental health as well as quality of life. Although the effects of pain in the body can be completely relieved by treatment, the entire medical process may cause everlasting psychological trauma to the patient.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to gather temporal trends on bacteria epidemiology and resistance of intraoperative bone culture from chronic ostemyelitis at an affiliated hospital in South China. Method Records of patients with chronic osteomyelitis from 2003 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The medical data were extracted using a unified protocol. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out by means of a unified protocol using the Kirby-Bauer method, results were analyzed according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute definitions. Result Four hundred eighteen cases met our inclusion criteria. For pathogen distribution, the top five strains were Staphylococcus aureus (27.9%); Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.1%); Enterobacter cloacae (9.5%); Acinetobacter baumanii (9.0%) and Escherichia coli (7.8%). Bacterial culture positive rate was decreased significantly among different year-groups. Mutiple bacterial infection rate was 28.1%. One strain of Staphylococcus aureus was resistant to linezolid and vancomycin. Resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa stains to Cefazolin, Cefuroxime, Cefotaxime, and Cefoxitin were 100% nearly. Resistance of Acinetobacter baumanii stains against Cefazolin, Cefuroxime were 100%. Ciprofloxacin resistance among Escherichia coli isolates increased from 25 to 44.4%. On the contrary, resistance of Enterobacter cloacae stains to Cefotaxime and Ceftazidime were decreased from 83.3 to 36.4%. Conclusions From 2003 to 2014, positive rate of intraoperative bone culture of chronic osteomyelitis was decreased; the proportion of Staphylococcus aureus was decreased gradually, and our results indicate the importance of bacterial surveilance studies about chronic osteomyelitis.
