Unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: A clinical efficacy evaluation.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, often resulting from low-energy trauma, markedly impair the quality of life of elderly individuals. The present retrospective study focused on the clinical efficacy of unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in the treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures. A total of 68 patients, representing 92 vertebral bodies, who underwent the unilateral PVP technique from March 2020 to January 2023 were evaluated.

TREATMENT OF THORACOLUMBAR FRACTURES BY CLOSED REDUCTION VIA A PERCUTANEOUS SOLID PEDICLE SCREW.

Objectives: Investigate the effect of closed reduction and per- cutaneous pedicle screw fixation in treating thoracolumbar fractures.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 12 cases of single-segment thoracolumbar spine fractures without spinal cord and nerve injury at our department from March 2016 to September 2017. Patients were treated with closed reduction, percutaneous reduction, and internal fixation with solid pedicle screws.

A retrospective cross-sectional survey of non-specific lower back pain among a cohort of Chinese army soldiers.

Research Background: Nonspecific lower back pain (LBP) has been a major public health problem in western countries since the second half of the 20 t h century. The trend has expanded to non-western countries, and LBP is currently a significant cause of disability in the working population.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of nonspecific lower back pain (LBP) and its risk factors among soldiers in the Chinese army.

Anterior cervical distraction and screw elevating-pulling reduction for traumatic cervical spine fractures and dislocations: A retrospective analysis of 86 cases.

Treatment of cervical fracture and dislocation by improving the anterior cervical technique.Anterior cervical approach has been extensively used in treating cervical spine fractures and dislocations. However, when this approach is used in the treatment of locked facet joints, an unsatisfactory intraoperative reduction and prying reduction increases the risk of secondary spinal cord injury.

Gunshot Pellet Migration to the Right Ventricle: a Case Report and Literature Review.

The diagnosis and management of injuries of the heart or the great vessels continues to be a major surgical challenge in the past and now. This case study introduces the conservative management of a patient who developed a venous bullet embolus after being shot in the lower extremities. In this case report, we aim to review some of the literature on bullet emboli and to raise awareness of its existence.

Comparison of the technique of anterior cervical distraction and screw elevating-pulling reduction and conventional anterior cervical reduction technique for traumatic cervical spine fractures and dislocations.

Introduction: To analyze and confirm the advantages of anterior cervical distraction and screw elevating-pulling reduction which are absent in conventional anterior cervical reduction for traumatic cervical spine fractures and dislocations.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 86 patients with traumatic cervical spine fractures and dislocations who received one-stage anterior approach treatment for a distraction-flexion injury with bilateral locked facet joints between January 2010 and June 2015. They were 54 males and 32 females with an age ranging from 20 to 73 years (average age, 40.

[The causes of death and risk factors in patients of war wound and trauma of extremities by logistic regression model].

Objective: To explore the causes of death and risk factors in patients of war wound and trauma of extremities.

Methods: This retrospective study involved 352 patients of war wound and trauma of extremities admitted to 303rd Hospital of People's Liberation Army during the period between 1968 to 2002. All the data were reviewed and the causes of death of 15 patients were analyzed by autopsy, and a computer's logistic regression model analysis was performed to approach the risk factors of death.
