[Operative strategy and clinical results of complex four part distal radius fractures by combined palmar and dorsal internal fixation].
Objective: To explore a standard procedure for the treatment of combined dorsal and palmar internal fixation for complex four part distal radius fractures and assess its clinical results. Methods: From May 2009 to October 2016, 38 patients(39 sides)who suffered from complex four part distal radius fractures were performed operatively with open reduction and internal fixation via combined dorsal and palmar approach in Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University(Qingdao). The series included 22 males(22 sides) and 16 females(17 sides). ⋯ ROM and grip strength were all recovered to over 85% of the unaffected side(exception of the bilateral patient). Median DASH-index and PRWE were 6.5(0-17) and 9.3(0-20)respectively. Conclusion: Combined volar and dorsal approaches allow achieving anatomic reconstruction in complex four part intra-articular distal radius fractures and reveal good functional outcomes at intermediate follow-up.

Review[End-to-side anastomosis for interrupted aortic arch in neonates and infants].
Objective: To review the early and mid-term results of end-to-side anastomosis technique for interrupted aortic arch in neonates and infants. Methods: Clinic data of 46 patients were diagnosed as interrupted aortic arch in Department of Cardiac Surgery, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between January 2010 and December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Twenty-six cases were neonates. ⋯ In all patients, the tracheal or bronchial stenosis were extenuated, and there was no new progressive airway stenosis by regular bronchoscopy. Conclusions: The end-to-side anastomosis technique for the reconstruction of the aortic arch achieved excellent early and mid-term results in neonates and infants suffered from interrupted aortic arch. Reducing the anastomotic tension by extensive mobilization is the key to prevent postoperative early complications and late recurrent arch obstruction.
