ObjectiveTo summarize the application and experience of repairing spontaneous Achilles tendon rupture by part-Kessler technique with suture anchor. MethodsBetween January 2011 and December 2013, 31 patients with spontaneous Achilles tendon rupture were treated by part-Kessler technique with suture anchor. Of 31 cases, 23 were male and 8 were female, aged 16-53 years (mean, 38 years). The left side was involved in 15 cases and the right side in 16 cases. The causes of injury included sudden heel pain and walking weakness during sports in 22 cases; no surefooted down-stairs, slip, and carrying heavy loads in 9 cases. The distance from broken site to the calcaneus adhension of Achilles tendon was 3-6 cm (mean, 4.2 cm). The time from injury to operation was 7 hours to 4 days (mean, 36.8 hours). ResultsAll incisions healed by first intention without nerve injury or adhering with skin. The patients were followed up 6-24 months (mean, 15 months). All patients could complete 25 times heel raising without difficulty at 6 months after operation. No Achilles tendon rupture occurred again during follow-up. At 6 months after operation, the range of motion of the ankle joint in dorsiflexion and plantar flexion showed no significant difference between normal and affected sides (t=0.648, P=0.525; t=0.524, P=0.605). The circumference of the affected leg was significantly smaller than that of normal leg at 6 months after operation (t=2.074, P=0.041), but no significant difference was found between affected and normal sides at 12 months after operation (t=0.905, P=0.426). The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after operation were significantly higher than preoperative score (P<0.05); the score at 6 months after operation was significantly lower than that at other time points (P<0.05), but no significant difference was shown between the other time points (P>0.05). ConclusionRepairing spontaneous Achilles tendon rupture by part-Kessler technique with suture anchor can supply strong strain and decrease the shear forces of suture. So part-Kessler technique with suture anchor is successful in repairing spontaneous Achilles tendon rupture.
Objective To analyze the effectiveness and advantages of the microsurgical repair of flexor tendon rupture with non-knot Kessler suture method in anastomotic stoma by comparing with the method of traditional Kessler suture. Methods Between February 2005 and February 2010, 122 patients (163 fingers with 243 flexor digital tendons) with flexor tendon rupture, were treated with microsurgical repair by non-knot Kessler suture method (treatment group); flexor tendon was sutured, and sodium hyaluronate was used to repair tendon membrane, tendon sheaths, and the tissue surroundingtendons. The cl inical data were analysed, and were compared with ones from 96 patients (130 fingers with 186 flexor digital tendons) with flexor tendon rupture treated with traditional Kessler suture between February 2001 and February 2005 (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, injury site, duration, and other general information between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Kleinert elastic traction therapy (dynamic-protection) was performed at 3 weeks after surgery, and the finger function exercise was done after 24 hours. Results Infection of incision occurred in 2 cases of the treatment group and in 5 cases of the control group, and were cured after 2 weeks of dressing change; the other incisions healed by first intention. The patients were followed up 6 to 14 months (mean, 9 months). In the treatment group, the total active movement (TAM) was (192.0 ± 13.1)°; the results were excellent in 54 cases, good in 58 cases, moderate in 8 cases, and poor in 2 cases with an excellent and good rate of 92%. In the control group, TAM was (170.0 ± 15.2)°; the results were excellent in 23 cases, good in 30 cases, moderate in 22 cases, and poor in 21 cases with an excellent and good rate of 55%. Significant difference in TAM was found between 2 groups (P lt; 0.01). Conclusion The microsurgical repair of flexor tendon with non-knot Kessler suture method in anastomotic stoma with repair of tendon membrane, tendon sheaths, and the tissue surrounding tendons is more effective than the traditional Kessler suture, but long-term effectiveness still needs further observation.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of meniscus suture on meniscus healing which included healing time and healing pattern. METHODS Fourty healthy rabbits were adopted in this study. The model of meniscus injury was made by a longitudinal incision at the medial meniscus of the left knee. The rabbits were divided into two groups, the experimental group was treated by meniscus suture and the control group was unsutured. After operation, the meniscus samples were collected periodically and observed by gross, light and electronic microscope to analysis the meniscus healing. RESULTS The injured meniscus was healed gradually and completely at the sixth week in the experimental groups. More fibroblasts and less fibrocartilage cells could be observed in the healed meniscus. Oppositely, there was no meniscus healing in the control group and the edge of injured meniscus was sealed by epithelioid cells. CONCLUSION The meniscus suture can accelerate the healing process of meniscus injury. Besides, early suture make the injured meniscus correctly positioned to ensure the normal healing process.
ObjectiveTo investigate clinical efficacy and advantages and disadvantages of primary closure with two endoscopes (1aparoscope+choledochoscope) or three endoscopes (laparoscope+choledochoscope+duodenoscope) through the cystic duct for treatment of gallbladder stone with secondary common bile duct (CBD) stones.MethodsThe clinical data of 83 patients with gallbladder stones with secondary CBD stones treated by two or three endoscopes combined with CBD exploration and lithotomy and primary closure through cystic duct from January 2017 to December 2018 in the Chengdu Second People’s Hospital were collected retrospectively. Among them, 41 patients were treated by two endoscopes mode (two endoscopes group), 42 cases were treated by three endoscopes mode (three endoscopes group).ResultsThere were no significant differences in the general conditions such as the gender, age, preoperative diameter of CBD, chronic diseases, etc. between the two and three endoscopes group (P>0.05). All 83 cases underwent the operations successfully and recovered well. The success rate of operation, stone clearance rate, drainage volume of abdominal drainage tube on day 1 after the operation, time of abdominal drainage tube removal after the operation, and hospitalization time had no significant differences between these two groups (P>0.05). The time of operation, intraoperative bleeding volume, and the postoperative pancreatitis rate in the three endoscopes group were significantly more (or higher) than those in the two endoscopes group (P<0.05), but the condition of liver function recovered after the operation was better than that in the two endoscopes group (P<0.05).ConclusionsWith the strict control of the operation indications, it is safe and feasible to use two or three endoscopes through the cystic duct pathway and primary closure of CBD for treatment of gallbladder stone with secondary CBD stones. However, the choice of operative methods of two or three endoscopes should be based on the general situation of the patients before and during the operation.
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the early and long-term results for the management of giant left ventricular aneurysm with comparison of different surgical ventricular restructive approaches. Methods Between January 1992 and December 2004, 148 consecutive patients underwent repair of giant left ventricular aneurysms and were divided into two groups, conventional group： 89 patients were submitted to linear repair; modified group： 59 patients were submitted to endocardium encircle suturing remodeling（EESR）. There were no significant difference in New York Heart Association （NYHA） class Ⅲ /Ⅳ , left ventricular dysfunction before operation, aortic clamp time and number of coronary bypass grafts in two groups. Results Five patients died after operation （3. 4%）, 4 cases in conventional group and 1 case in modified group, the hospital mortality rate was 4.5% vs. 1.7% （P=0. 320）. The major morbidity were low cardiac output syndrome and ventricular fibrillation. One hundred and thirty-four patients （93.7 % ） were followed up, during a mean follow-up of 51.4± 27.0 months （range 1-120 months）, 21 patients had died. The NYHA class more than m in the early stage after operation was the independent risk factor for late death （P= 0. 000）. Actuarial survival rates were 91.6% of modified group vs. 76.3% of conventional group at 5 years （P=0.040）, and 91.6% vs. 61.4% at 8 years（P=0.000）. At late follow-up the meanNYHAclass, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension （LVEDD） and left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） were significant improved （P = 0. 000）in both groups. The rate of re-dilatation of LVEDD was higher in conventional group than that in modified group （ 38.8% vs. 16.7%, P= 0. 030）. Conclusion The technique of repair of postinfarction dyskinetic giant left ventricular aneurysms should be adapted in each patient to the cavity size and shape, and the dimension of the scar. The EESR achieves better results with respect to perioperative mortality, late functional status and survival than linear repair.
Objective To observe the operative technique and cl inical effects of hidden tension suture after tibiofibular fracture fixation with absorbable thread. Methods From October 2003 to October 2008, 203 patients (220 sides) with tibiofibular fracture underwent hidden tension suture (test group, 102 cases of 112 sides) and the common interrupted suture (control group, 101 cases of 108 sides), including 179 males and 24 females with an median age of 36 years (3-75 years). Fracture was caused by traffic accident in 170 cases, by heavy bruise in 21 cases, and by fall ing from height in 12 cases. Therewere 186 cases of single-side fracture, and 17 cases of double-side fracture. Of them, 127 sides were closed fracture, and 93 sides were open fracture (including 38 sides of type I, 45 sides of type II, and 10 sides of type IIIA according to Gustilo classification for the open fracture). The locations were upper tibia in 55 sides, middle tibia in 126 sides, and lower tibia in 39 sides. The X-ray films showed that there were transverse fractures in 65 sides, obl ique fractures in 53 sides, spiral fractures in 45 sides, and comminuted fractures in 57 sides. No blood vessel injury, osteofascial compartment syndrome and pressure syndrome were observed. The time from injury to operation was 2 hours to 7 days with an average of 2 days. Of 220 sides, 45 sides were fixed by interlocking nails, others by internal steel plate. Results In control group, heal ing by first intention was achieved in 70 cases (69.3%) and heal ing by secondary intention in 31 cases (30.7%); in test group, heal ing by first intention was achieved in 93 cases (91.2%) and heal ing by secondary intention in 9 cases (8.8%); and showing significant difference (P lt; 0.05). All patients were followed up for 6 months to 2 years (average 9 months). No compl ication occurred in test group, and scar was obvious in the control group. Conclusion The hidden tension suture with absorbable thread can be a good alternative for the incision heal ing after tibiofibular fracture fixation. It deals with the problems of the incision tension and difficult-to-suture, and is good for the incision heal ing after operation.
Objective To investigate the medium-term clinical outcome of encircled suture for repair of medial meniscus bucket-handle tear (BHT). Methods Between March 2011 and June 2013, 78 patients (78 knees) with medial meniscus BHT were treated with encircled suture under arthroscopy. There were 57 males and 21 females with a mean age of 28.3 years (range, 16-39 years). The causes included sports injury in 61 cases, traffic accident injury in 12 cases, and other trauma in 5 cases. Of 78 cases, 35 were acute injury and 43 were chronic injury; 65 cases had combined injury of anterior cruciate ligament rupture. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, and Tegner score were 48.2±6.3, 43.6±4.7, and 2.5±0.6, respectively. Barrett’s assessment standard, MRI, and arthroscopy examination were used for assessment of meniscus healing. IKDC score, Lysholm score, and Tegner score were used for assessment of knee function. Results Primary healing of incisions were achieved in all patients, and no complications occurred. All patients were followed up 26-63 months (mean, 42.8 months). BHT recurrence was observed in 2 patients within 1 year. Clinical healing of meniscus tear was obtained in 72 cases (92.3%) according to Barrett’s assessment standard. The IKDC score, Lysholm score, and Tegner score were significantly improved to 81.5±5.1, 86.9±3.9, and 6.2±0.5 respectively (t=–14.598,P=0.000;t=–18.478,P=0.000;t=–3.362,P=0.002). MRI results showed complete healing in 56 cases, incomplete healing in 15 cases, and unhealing in 7 cases at last follow-up, with a total healing rate of 91.0% (71/78) and a complete healing rate of 71.8% (56/78). In 21 cases undergoing arthroscopy at 18-49 months after operation, complete healing and incomplete healing were observed in 17 cases and 4 cases respectively, with a total healing rate of 100% (21/21) and a complete healing rate of 81.0% (17/21). No re-tear occurred. Conclusion Encircled suture for repair of medial meniscus BHT owns the advantage of firm suturing and good blood supply which can obtain satisfactory medium-term clinical results.
Since 1988, with the aid of the microsurgical technique, circle invagination suture method was adopted to carry out primary repair of injury of the flexor tendon of hand in 30 cases, 54 fingers. The rehabilitative exercises were carried out early after operation. The patients were followed up postoperatively more than 6 months. According to the grading method of TAM for evaluation of the results, the excellentfair rate was 83.3%. This suture method and its advantages were introduced. The importance of atraumatic technique in operation and early ehabilitative excercises in order to prevent tendon adhesion were emphasized .
