To investigate the indication of non-operative management of adult blunt splenic injuries. ⋯ Non-operative management of low-grade splenic injuries can be accomplished with an acceptable low-failure rate. If the clinical and laboratory parameters difficult for surgeons to make decisions, they can depend on Resciniti's CT (computed tomography) scoring system to select a subset of adults with splenic trauma who are excellent candidates for a trial of non-operative management. The patients older than 55 years are not absolutely inhibited to receive non-operative management.

Statistical analysis on 2213 inpatients with traffic injuries from January 2003 to September 2005 in Ningbo city.
To analyze the epidemiological conditions and characteristics of inpatients with traffic trauma in order to provide objective data for basic research and clinical application of traffic trauma. ⋯ Nowadays, the patients with traffic trauma are mainly pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists, and they suffer generally from fracture of extremities and craniocerebral injury. The main cause of death is craniocerebral injury. Another characteristic of traffic trauma is that the ratio of multiple injuries is higher.

Computer-assisted auto-frame navigation system for distal locking of tibial intramedullary nails: a preliminary report on clinical application.
To evaluate the clinical feasibility and effect of the computer-assisted auto-frame navigation system for distal locking of tibial intramedullary nails. ⋯ The computer-assisted auto-frame navigation system for distal locking is well designed, easy to operate and do not need additional instruments during the procedure. The developed system enables the physician to precisely navigate surgical instruments throughout the anatomy using just a few computer-calibrated radiographic images. The total time of X-ray exposure per procedure can be significantly reduced.

Operative treatment for separation of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis.
To study the influence of separation of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis on ankle joint and to compare various operative methods so as to find suitable stabilization for separated distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. ⋯ Separation of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis can be treated with various reasonable operations. Repair with tendon of the peroneus longus can get excellent outcomes for complete separation of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis.
