To introduce the procedure of the 1st ray stabilization combined with resection of the lesser metatarsal heads for patient with severe forefoot deformity caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and evaluate the short to mid-term clinical results. ⋯ The characters of forefoot with RA in later stage are the 1st ray deformity and instability compound with the lesser toes deformity. The 1st ray stability procedure which include the 1st MTP arthrodesis and the Lapidus procedure can correct the 1st ray deformities and rebuilt its stability. The lesser toes metatarsal head resection is effective in correct their deformity. This combined procedure is reliable. It is suitable for patients with severe Hallux valgus, increased IMA, tarsometatarsal joint instability and the lesser MTP joint stiff dislocation.

To evaluate the modified Stoppa approach in treatment of pelvic and acetabular fractures. ⋯ The modified Stoppa approach can be used to treat pelvic and acetabular fractures effectively, and it has advantages of easy manipulation and a low complication rate.
-
To investigate the clinical usage of percutanious retrograde acetabular anterior horn screw fixation. ⋯ Percutanious retrograde acetabular anterior horn screw technique have advantages of little trauma, less blood loss volume, reliable fixation, which can be effectively used in clinic.

To discuss the correlation between the degree of cervical spinal cord compression and gender, age, height of intervertebral space and the abnormality curvature of cervical vertebrae. The multivariable linear regression was used to build the prediction model of cervical spinal cord compression. ⋯ The ratio of a/M can be a standard to evaluate degree of cervical spinal cord compression; the changes of the height of intervertebral disc, curvature of cervical vertebrae in X-ray films maybe have values to predict the degree of cervical spinal cord compression.

To analyze the clinical and radiologic outcomes of bilateral uncovertebral joints resection and decompression in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy through anterior approach. ⋯ Uncovertebral joints resection and decompression through anterior cervical approach in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy is safe and reliable, which can get satisfactory clinical outcomes. This surgical procedure is suitabl oe for the patients of cervical spondylosis, especially combined canal stenosis and osteophytosis of the uncovertebral joint.
