Acute subdural hematoma with swirl signs: clinical analysis of 15 cases.
From July 2003 to July 2009, 15 cases of subdural hematoma with swirl signs were treated in our hospital and their clinical data were retrospectively analysed. The mortality was compared between these patients and those with typical acute subdural hematoma who were treated at the same time in our hospital. ⋯ The mortality of these patients was conspicuously higher than that of typical subdural hematoma (14/83, 16.9%, P < 0.01). Subdural hematoma with swirl signs is often suggestive of hazardous pathogenetic condition and early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention is essential to reduce mortality.

Comparative StudyComparative study of anterolateral approach versus posterior approach for total hip replacement in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients.
To compare the clinical outcome of anterolateral minimally invasive approach versus conventional posterior approach for total hip replacement against femoral neck fractures in elderly patients. ⋯ Anterolateral mini-invasive approach can decrease trauma, operation time, length of hospital stay and bed stay and rehabilitation time. The stability and minimal muscular damage permit the acceleration of postoperative rehabilitation, which can subsequently reduce the perioperative risk in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in the elderly undergoing total hip replacement.

Anatomic and radiological study on posterior pedicle screw fixation in the atlantoaxial vertebrae of children.
To investigate the feasibility of posterior fixation with 3.5-mm pedicle screws in the atlantoaxial vertebrae of children. ⋯ It is feasible to place a 3.5-mm pedicle screw in the C(1) and C(2) pedicles of children aged 6-8 years old.
