Experience With Immediate Internal Fixation Combined With Primary Wound Closure in Gustilo-Anderson Type IIIA Open Ankle Fractures.

Open ankle fractures, especially Gustilo-Anderson type III fractures are challenging to manage with controversy over the "best" or "superior" treatment strategy. This study aimed to evaluate the treatment outcome of immediate internal fixation combined with primary wound closure in the management of Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA open ankle fractures. We retrospectively assessed the outcomes of thirty-two patients treated using immediate internal fixation combined with primary wound closure with a minimum follow-up of twenty-four months.

Hsa_circ_0001982 promotes the proliferation, invasion, and multidrug resistance of osteosarcoma cells.

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common bone cancer mostly seen in people aged 10-25 years. This research aims to clarify the function of hsa_circ_0001982 in osteosarcoma (OS) and its effect on drug resistance, preliminarily exploring its mechanism.

Methods: The expression of hsa_circ_0001982 and miR-143 in OS clinical tissues and cells was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), MTT, colony formation assay, and transwell assay assessed cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion, respectively.

Perioperative prevalence of deep vein thrombosis in patients with percutaneous kyphoplasty: A retrospective study with routine ultrasonography.

In recent years, deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after spine surgery has received extensive attention, but perioperative prevalence of DVT in patients undergoing percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is lacking.To assess the perioperative prevalence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing PKP with routinely applied ultrasonography.We reviewed 1113 consecutive patients undergoing PKP from January 2014 to August 2017.
