[The application of external fixation for the treatment of supracondylar femoral fracture after total knee replacement].

Objective: To explore the external fixation for treatment of supracondylar femoral fractures after total knee replacement.

Methods: From June 2005 to July 2007, 7 cases of supracondylar femoral fracture after total knee replacement were treated with external fixation included 4 males and 3 females with an average age of 71 years ranging from 55 to 85 years. The fracture healing were observed and the knee function were evaluated by the HSS scoring.

Effect of neurotrophin-3 genetically modified olfactory ensheathing cells transplantation on spinal cord injury.

Transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) has emerged as a very promising therapy for spinal cord injury (SCI). Also, local delivery of NT-3 can counteract pathological events and induce a regenerative response after SCI. Supplement of exogenetic NT-3 might be a new approach to SCI repair.

Intradural lysis and peripheral nerve implantation for traumatic obsolete incomplete paralysis.

Twenty-eight patients who suffered traumatic obsolete incomplete paralysis were treated with intradural lysis and peripheral nerve implantation by a microsurgery technique. The endorachis was opened and the fibrous bands adhering to the spinal cord from the arachnoid, pia mater spinalis, ligamenta denticulatum, and the initial part of the nerve root were completely relieved. The abnormal spinal cord was then opened by three to six incisions, which were each 0.
