To explore the clinical efficacy of double-plate fixation for the treatment of old tibial plateau fractures with Schatzker type IV through anterior midline and posteromedial approaches. ⋯ Double-plate fixation via combined anterior midline and posteromedial approaches is an ideal surgical method for old tibial plateau fractures with Schatzker IV type, showing satisfactory exposure, reliable reduction and fixation, and benefiting for early functional exercise. The short-term clinical results was satisfactory.
-
To determine the effect of site of fracture on the prognosis for patients of elderly hip fracture. ⋯ The response of stress for intertrochanteric fracture were more than femoral neck fracture, but the mortality was similar than that of femoral neck fracture after excluding the influence of age, sex, comorbidity, and other factors. Compared to intertrochanteric fracture, the femoral neck fracture patients had a better functional recovery during early stage, and the two groups reached a similar functional recovery at 1 year after operation.
-
To explore the curative effect and the recessive loss of blooding of PFNA for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of femur. ⋯ Intertrochanteric fractures of femur are common in the elderly trauma, in pain relief, recovery of hip function, to provide quality of life for the patients, PFNA achieved satisfactory effect, but its existence is worth to pay close attention to the recessive loss of blood.
-
To study the effect of Bushen Huoxue decoction on calcification of cartilage endplate in lumbar vertebrae. ⋯ Bushen Huoxue prescription can delay the calcification of cartilage endplate in the process of aging, suggesting that it can be used as a preventive medicine for early disc degeneration.
-
To observe the effect of admission blood urea and creatinine levels on mortality in elderly patients with hip fracture. ⋯ Elderly hip fracture patients with high serum urea and high serum creatinine at admission indicate higher fatality rate. Age, serum urea and serum creatinine at admission were independent predictors of fatality rate of elderly hip fracture patients.
