[The application of cervical arthroplasty with Mobi-C for treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy].
To investigate the clinical effectiveness of cervical arthroplasty with Mobi-C prosthesis for treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. ⋯ Cervical arthroplasty with Mobi-C could improve neurofunctional symptoms, maintain ROM of index level and height of disc space. For accurate patient selection, long term follow-up is still needed in prospective randomized study.

[Selective thoracic fusion in the scoliosis associated with syringomyelia].
To evaluate the surgical results of selective thoracic fusion (STF) for scoliosis associated with syringomyelia. ⋯ STF could be safely performed in scoliosis associated with syringomyelia. Thoracolumbar/lumbar curve in these patients has similar spontaneous correction ability compared with idiopathic scoliosis patients. The satisfactory result could be achieved according to the STF criteria for IS.

[Arthroscopic Bankart repair with suture anchors: results and risk factors of recurrence of instability].
To evaluate retrospectively the results of arthroscopic Bankart repair using suture anchors for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with a minimum 1-year follow-up and to assess risk factors for recurrence. ⋯ Arthroscopic Bankart repair is a good option for the treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. Identification of risk factors for recurrence allows for consideration of open stabilization. In the series, patients under age 20 and athlete patients are the most important risk factors for recurrence.

Meta Analysis[A meta-analysis for the efficacy and safety of tourniquet in total knee arthroplasty].
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tourniquet in total knee arthroplasty. ⋯ The tourniquet for total knee arthroplasty can reduce intraoperative blood loss, but can not reduce total blood loss and the number of blood transfusions transfusion, can not improve operative efficiency, can not shorten the hospitalization time and promote the knee joint functional recovery. Furthermore the tourniquet increases the probability of occurrence on deep vein thrombosis, wound infection, hematoma and ecchymosis knee, it also causes knee swelling and thigh pain. It suggests minimize to use tourniquet in total knee arthroplasty.

[Prediction of spinal cord decompression after cervical laminoplasty: the SC-line].
To report a new index (the SC-line) and a new classification for predicting of postoperative spinal cord decompression after cervical laminoplasty. ⋯ SC-line can be used to predict the degree of postoperative spinal cord decompression following cervical laminoplasty.
