Efficacy of Antibiotic Bone Cement in the Treatment of Burkholderia cepacia Infection After Spinal Internal Fixation Surgery: Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: In recent years, the number of spinal internal fixation operations has increased significantly, correlating with an elevated risk of postoperative surgical site infection and a rising incidence rate. While the conventional treatment approach involves surgical debridement combined with antibiotic administration, there is a notable gap in reported strategies for Burkholderia cepacia infection and patients exhibiting multidrug resistance.

Methods: Surgical site infection occurred in a patient following internal fixation surgery for thoracic vertebral fractures.

Repair of a finger pulp or fingertip defect using a palmar rotatory flap pedicled with the perforating branch of the proper palmar digital artery: a retrospective study.

Background: Soft tissue defects in the hand may result from trauma, oncological procedures, or severe infections. This study aimed to introduce an innovative method for repairing soft tissue defects on the palmar side of the distal segment of the affected finger or fingertip. We explored this surgical method and its curative effect on the volar rotation pedicled flap base on a perforator of the palmar digital artery (VRPF-PPDA) for repairing ventral or fingertip soft tissue defects of the distal segment of the affected finger without impairing its main blood vessels.

Metacarpal Lengthening Using a Mini-Ring Ilizarov Device for Thumb Reconstruction.

Purpose: To explore the results of using the mini-ring Ilizarov external fixator for thumb metacarpal lengthening and its compatibility with a simultaneous groin flap.

Methods: From May 2016 to June 2019, 17 adult patients with thumb loss were treated with metacarpal lengthening using a mini-ring Ilizarov device. The device was composed of 2 rings, threaded rods, nuts, and K-wires (diameter, 1.

Treatment of inferior pole fracture of the patella with tension-free external immobilization.

Background: Inferior pole fracture of the patella (IPFP) has small and comminuted fracture blocks that are hard to immobilize, and early mobilization may lead to loss of fracture reduction and immobilization failure. Therefore, a difficulty of treatment is to achieve rigid immobilization with early functional exercise. Here, a new treatment method of tension-free external immobilization is put forward.

Methods: Between August 2013 and October 2018, 14 patients with proximal humeral fractures were treated with suspensory external fixation technique. There were 10 males and 4 females with an average age of 55.

[Application of simple Ilizarov ring external fixation technique in treatment of tibial plateau fracture complicated with osteofascial compartment syndrome].

Objective: To explore the effectiveness of simple Ilizarov ring external fixation technique in treatment of tibial plateau fractures complicated with osteofascial compartment syndrome.

Methods: Between September 2013 and March 2017, 30 patients with tibial plateau fractures complicated with osteofascial compartment syndrome were treated with simple Ilizarov ring external fixation technique. There were 23 males and 7 females, with an average age of 34.

[Primarily application of Ilizarov microcirculation reconstruction technique for chronic wounds in post-traumatic ischemia limbs].

Objective: To evaluate the treatment results of Ilizarov microcirculation reconstruction technique for chronic wounds in the post-traumatic ischemia limbs.

Methods: Between January 2016 and July 2019, 7 cases of chronic wounds in the post-traumatic ischemia limbs were treated. There were 5 males and 2 females, with an average age of 42.

"Suspension bridge" external fixation technique for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of the "suspension bridge" external fixation technique for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures with or without soft tissue defects and infection, as well as postoperative revision.

Methods: From August 2013 to June 2018, 9 patients with proximal humeral fractures were selected. There were 5 males and 4 females, with an average age of 55.

[Anatomical calcaneal external fixator self-designed according to the morphology of heel].

Objective: The anatomical calcaneal external fixator was designed by measuring and calculating the morphological data of the heel.

Methods: A total of 100 normal people were randomly selected to obtain 200 hind foot data, including 45 males and 55 females, with an average age of 43.9 years (range, 19-67 years).

[Application of self-made chronic wound closure device in the repair of scarred lower extremity wounds].

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of self-made limb chronic wound closure device in the treatment of scarred lower limbs and complex skin and soft tissue defects.
