Simultaneous bilateral traumatic clavicle fractures: incidence, characteristics, and surgical outcomes.

Background: Although clavicle fractures are common injuries in adults, simultaneous bilateral clavicle fractures are rarely reported. The present report describes 13 patients with simultaneous bilateral traumatic clavicle fractures who were treated with surgical management and followed for more than 12 months postoperatively.

Methods: This retrospective chart review involved skeletally mature patients with traumatic clavicle injuries.

Effect of combined fenestration of lamina terminalis and Liliequist membrane during surgical clipping on the incidence of chronic hydrocephalus in patients with anterior circulation ruptured aneurysms.

Purpose: To explore the effects of combined fenestration of lamina terminalis and Liliequist membrane during surgical clipping on the occurrence of chronic hydrocephalus in patients with ruptured anterior circulation aneurysm.

Methods: Clinical data of 78 patients with anterior circulation ruptured aneurysms who were treated between June 2018 and January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the surgical treatment, patients were divided into 3 groups: clipping group (26 cases); fenestration group (lamina terminalis fenestration combined with clipping, 28 cases); and combination group (lamina terminalis fenestration and Liliequist membrane opening combined with clipping, 24 cases).

Proportion of stable femoral neck fracture types in different age groups: a population-based study.

Objective: The treatment and incidence of femoral neck fracture (FNF) in older patients is controversial. We investigated the new AO (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthese) classification in patients with FNF by age to determine the proportions of stable fracture and change trends according to patients' age.

Methods: We divided patients with FNF hospitalized in Xi'an Honghui Hospital from 2018 to 2020 into five groups according to age: young (<50 years), middle-aged (50-59 years), young-elderly (60-69 years), middle-elderly (70-79 years), and very elderly (≥80 years) groups.

Captopril alleviates glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head by mediating the ACE2/ Ang-(1-7)/Mas receptor cascade.

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is locally expressed in skeletal tissue and is known to affect bone health. This study investigated the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) captopril (CAP) in a rat model of glucocorticoid-induced femoral head necrosis (GIONFH). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mBMSC) from mice treated with dexamethasone (DEX) in vitro and methylprednisolone (MPS)-induced rats in vivo were used to explore the effects and mechanisms of CAP, respectively.

Correlation Between the Fracture Line Plane and Perioperative Deep Vein Thrombosis in Patients with Tibial Fracture.

Objective: To explore the correlation between the fracture line inferior plane and perioperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with tibial fractures.

Methods: Data was collected from the medical records of 536 consecutive patients with tibial fractures at Xi'an Honghui Hospital. The patients were divided into distal, shaft, and proximal segment groups according to the fracture line inferior plane on radiographs.
