Methods: The clinical data of 22 patients with lumbar tuberculosis treated by cortical bone trajectory screw technology combined with anterior mini-open debridement and prop graft from February 2015 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 13 males and 9 females with an average age of (73.

[Treatment of tuberculosis of lumbar spine in elderly patients with percataneous endoscopic focal cleaning and drainage combined with posterior internal fixation].

Objective: To explore the clinical effects and advantages of percataneous endoscopic focal cleaning and drainage combined with posterior internal fixation in the treatment of tuberculosis of lumbar spine in elderly.

Methods: The clinical data of 32 patients with tuberculosis of lumbar spine received percataneous endoscopic focal cleaning and drainage combined with posterior internal fixation from May 2013 to May 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 13 males and 19 females, aged from 62 to 85 years old with an average of 75 years.

[Eearly clinical effects of percutaneous endoscopic focal cleaning and drainage in the treatment of single-level suppurative spondylitis].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of percutaneous endoscopic focal cleaning and drainage in the treatment of single-level suppurative spondylitis.

Methods: The clinical data of 18 patients with single-level suppurative spondylitis treated by percutaneous endoscopic focal cleaning and drainage from June 2014 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and 7 females, aged from 46 to 75 years old with an average of (58.

[Application value of Xpert MTB/RIF in diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis and detection of rifampin resistance].

Objective: To investigate the application value of Xpert MTB/RIF in diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis and detection of rifampin resistance.

Methods: The 109 pus specimens were obtained from patients who were primaryly diagnosed as spinal tuberculosis. All of the pus specimens were detected by acid-fast stain, liquid fast culturing by BACTEC MGIT 960 and Xpert MTB/RIF assay to definite the differences in sensitivity and specificity of mycobacterium tuberculosis among detecting methods.

The efficacy and safety of using a bipolar sealer to prevent blood loss in spine surgery: A meta-analysis.

Objective: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs was to evaluate the effect of using a bipolar sealer to prevent surgical bleeding in spine surgery.

Methods: In June 2017, the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane controlled trials register, Web of Science, Google, and Chinese Wanfang databases were used to identify RCTs and non-RCTs comparing the effects of intraoperative placement of a bipolar sealer versus standard electrocautery with regard to blood loss and blood transfusion.

[Anterior small-incision focus debridement with posterior internal fixation for the treatment of lumbar spinal tuberculosis].

Objective: To explore clinical outcomes and advantages of anterior small-incision focus debridement with posterior internal fixation through muscle spa ring in treating patients with lumbar spinal tuberculosis.

Methods: From February 2010 to February 2014, totally 82 patients with lumbar spinal tuberculosis were treated by posterior individual fixation with small-incision focus debridement,including 50 males and 32 females with an average of 50.5 years old.

[Percutaneous intervertebral foramina endoscopic lumbar discectomy decompression for elder patients with lumbar spinal stenosis syndrome].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of percutaneous intervertebral foramina endoscopic lumbar discectomy for elder patients with lumbar spinal stenosis syndrome.

Methods: From July 2006 to July 2011, 60 elder patients with lumbar spinal stenosis syndrome were treated with surgical operation, including 32 males and 28 females with an average age of (66.7 +/- 2.

[Experiment on articular cartilage defect repaired with autologous cancellous bone or cancellous bone enriching bone marrow stem cell].

Objective: To compare and evaluate the effect of autologous cancellous bone and cancellous bone enriching bone marrow stem cell for the repairing the defects of articular cartilage, and purpose the experimental basis for clinical application.

Methods: By using the completely random design, 16 adult rabbits were divided into two groups randomly. Autologous cancellous bone and cancellous bone enriching bone marrow stem cells were applied for repairing size-matched, full-thickness articular cartilage defects on the femoral condyle of the knees.

Isometric reconstruction of the posterolateral corner of the knee.

To date, there is no consensus on the best technique to repair injured posterolateral structures of the knee. We evaluated the effects of a fibular head based isometric reconstruction of the posterolateral knee corner with a double bundle semitendinosus tendon. From February 2001 to February 2005, 18 isometric reconstructions of a chronic posterolateral corner (PLC) injury of the knee were performed using the semitendinosus tendon.
