Effect of vertebral kyphoplasty versus vertebroplasty on pain and indicators of imaging parameters of the injured vertebrae in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: a meta-analysis.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the effects of vertebroplasty (VP) and kyphoplasty (KP) on pain and spinal imaging parameters in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF).

Methods: A comprehensive search of eight databases was conducted from inception to November 2024 to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published in Chinese and English. Eligible studies included clinical RCTs comparing KP and VP in patients with OVCF, assessing vertebral pain and imaging parameters.

[Effectiveness of acetabular revision using a metal reconstruction cage].

Objective: To explore the clinical outcomes of acetabular revision using a metal reconstruction cage.

Methods: Between October 2006 and October 2013, 16 patients (16 hips) underwent acetabular revision with a metal reconstruction cage. There were 4 males and 12 females, with the mean age of 62.

[MID- AND LONG-TERM EFFECTIVENESS OF THIRD-GENERATION CERAMIC-ON-CERAMIC TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY IN YOUNGER PATIENTS].

Objective: To analyze the mid- and long-term effectiveness of the 3rd-generation ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the younger patients.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 68 younger patients (73 hips) who accepted the 3rd-generation CoC THA between March 2001 and May 2009. Of 68 cases, 39 was male and 29 was female with the average age of 38.

[CLINICAL RESULTS OF UNCEMENTED TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY FOR ULTIMATE HIP DISEASE COMBINED WITH PROXIMAL FEMORAL DEFORMITY].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical results of uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) for ultimate hip disease combined with proximal femoral deformity.

Methods: Between February 2005 and June 2013, 48 cases (51 hips) of ultimate hip disease combined with proximal femoral deformity were treated with uncemented THA and osteotomy. There were 14 males (16 hips) and 34 females (35 hips), with an average age of 52 years (range, 19-83 years).

Analysis of risk factors for femoral head necrosis after internal fixation in femoral neck fractures.

Femoral head necrosis is a rare but devastating complication following femoral neck fracture. The reported incidence of avascular necrosis after femoral neck fracture fixation varies widely, and there is no consensus regarding its risk factors. The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors for femoral head necrosis after internal fixation in femoral neck fracture.
