[The effect of Topping-off surgery on preventing adjacent segment degeneration, a retrospective study].
To investigate the early-middle stage clinical results of Topping-off surgery in preventing adjacent segment degeneration when mild or moderate adjacent segment degeneration exists before surgery. ⋯ Compared with single segmental PLIF surgery, Topping-off surgery can achieve similar symptomatic improvement in cases with pre-existing mild or moderate adjacent segment degeneration, restrict the adjacent segment's range of motion in extension and prevent excessive olisthesis of adjacent segment in both extension and flexion. Topping-off surgery has a potential effect of preventing adjacent segmental degeneration.

[Using titanium cerclage band to teat intra- and post-operative femoral fracture in total hip arthroplasty].
To discuss the treatment and clinical result of using titanium cerclage band to teat intra- and post-operative femoral fracture in total hip arthroplasty. ⋯ Strong fixation of the fractures and good initial stability of femoral stem can be obtained using titanium cerclage bands to fix the intra- and post-operative femoral oblique fracture. Original stems should be changed to revision stems in case of type B2 and be retained in case of type B1.

[Treatment of large circular soft tissue defect in lower extremities with a combination of bridge flaps and free skin graft covered by vacuum sealing drainage].
To explore the surgical technique and clinical value of treatment for posttraumatic large circular soft tissue defect in the lower extremities using a combination of posterior tibial vascular bridge flap in the unaffected leg and skin graft covered by vacuum sealing drainage (VSD). ⋯ Patients with posttraumatic large circular soft tissue defect in the lower extremities can be effectively treated with a combination of bridge flaps and free skin graft covered by VSD, which can shorten the course of treatment, and restore the function of affected extremities as much as possible.
