The effect of enhanced recovery protocols on postoperative rehabilitation in orthopedic surgery patients.

Orthopedics is a critical hospital department that has experienced shifts in the spectrum of orthopedic conditions due to societal advancements in recent years. While surgical interventions are effective in restoring fracture function, perioperative care remains a key factor in optimizing patient recovery. This study aims to assess the impact of orthopedic rehabilitation care based on the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol on postoperative rehabilitation.

Repair of segmental ulnar bone defect in juvenile caused by osteomyelitis with induced membrane combined with tissue-engineered bone: A case report with 4-year follow-up.

Introduction And Importance: We used induced membrane combined with tissue-engineered bone (TEB) to repair the 14-cm juvenile ulnar defect formed after osteomyelitis debridement. The TEB was completely transformed into autologous bone after 4-year follow-up.

Case Presentation: A 13-year-old male was hospitalized because of right ulna chronic osteomyelitis.

Repair of distal fibular and lateral malleolus defects with individualized 3D-printed titanium alloy prosthesis: The first case report from China.

Introduction And Importance: This case report describes the reconstruction of the traumatic distal fibular and lateral malleolus defects with a novel method of using individualized 3D printed titanium prosthesis for the first time.

Case Presentation: A 63-year-old male farmer was hospitalized in emergency because of open injury and distal fibular and lateral malleolus defects in the left leg caused by a car accident. 3 months after debridement and latissimus dorsi muscle flap transplantation and skin graft operation, the patient re-hospitalized because of distal fibular and lateral malleolus defect and local pain.

Triple-combination treatment with oral α-lipoic acid, betamethasone injection, and NB-UVB for non-segmental progressive vitiligo.

Background: Vitiligo is an acquired depigmenting disease with uncertain etiopathogenesis and the treatment modalities need to be consistently updated.

Aim: To evaluate a triple-combination treatment with oral α-lipoic acid (ALA), betamethasone injection, and narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) on vitiligo.

Methods: Patients with non-segmental and progressive vitiligo lesions were randomly assigned to two groups.
