Cemented K-wire external fixation in juxta-articular enchondroma-related phalangeal pathological fracture.

Purpose: This study aimed to introduce a technique of external fixation using a combination of bone cement and K-wires, to treat pathological fractures related to solitary digital enchondroma close to the finger joints.

Methods: From October 2015 to January 2021, 21 patients (8 males and 13 females) with acute pathological fracture due to solitary digital enchondroma close to the finger joints were treated with cemented K-wire external fixators. Mean age was 32 (19-51) years.

Gene expression profile related to inflammation in rat model of traumatic deep vein thrombosis.

Objective: To study the relationship between inflammation and traumatic deep vein thrombosis (TDVT).

Methods: A rat model of deep venous thrombosis was established by directly clamping femoral vein. Based on the different biological situations of femoral vein thrombosis and observation phases, 150 SD rats were divided into 7 groups.

Application of spiral CT image 3D reconstruction in severe talar neck fracture.

Objective: To explore the application of the spiral computerized tomography (CT) image three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technique associated with the conventional radiography in the diagnosis and treatment of severe talar neck fracture.

Methods: Using the multi-slice spiral CT image 3D reconstruction technique, we analysed 11 cases of talar neck fracture. The fractures were reduced and fixed through a minimal incision and internal fixation with titanium cannulated lag screws.
