Abstract C2 schwannomas are rare lesions that may develop in the spinal canal, in the area of the C2 ganglion situated posterior to the C1C2 articulation, in the extraspinal area or in a combination of these 3 sectors.1,2 The surgical removal of these lesions is delicate because of the intimate relationships the schwannomas develop with the V3 segment of the vertebral artery.  A variety of lateral, far-lateral, or extreme lateral approaches have been described in order to tackle these lesions. We use a posterior midline approach that takes advantage of the predominantly extradural development of C2 schwannomas. In this technique, the main step is the debulking of the posterior articular sector of the tumor, which is easily accessible through a midline posterior approach and necessitates minimal bone removal. In most cases, removal of the homolateral posterior arch of C1 is sufficient in order to create an adequate access. These maneuvers create the necessary space for dissecting both the intradural and extraspinal sectors of the schwannoma.  We present this technique through a case with a minimal intradural component exerting mainly a lateral compression of the spinal cord. The tumor was operated through the midline mini-invasive posterior approach with a favorable result. We demonstrate the surgical technique in video and discuss the nuances.

Abstract Background It is difficult to judge the stability of lateral compression type-1 (LC-1) pelvic fracture, as it is often based on static images of the pelvis. Compared with the traditional experience strategy, ultrasonography examination may be able to distinguish operative and conservative patients before definitive treatment. However, in previous studies, we have not compared the outcomes between traditional experience strategy (TES group) and combined ultrasonography examination (CUE group). Thus, the aim of the study is comparing the differences between TES and CUE strategy, to identify the value of ultrasonography examination. Methods Medical records system for patients with LC-1 pelvic fractures who were treated with TES and CUE strategy were included. Patients’ baseline characteristics, treatment strategy, and function were recorded at follow-up. Functional outcomes were evaluated using the Majeed grading system. Results In total, 77 patients with LC-1 pelvic fractures were included in the study. There were 42 and 35 patients in TES and CUE group, respectively. Compared to TES group (69 %), there were less proportion patients chosen the operative treatment in CUE group (43 %, P = 0.021). The volume of intraoperative blood loss in CUE operative group was more than TES operative group (P = 0.037). There were more patients with complete sacral fracture in CUE operative group than TES operative group (P = 0.002). The Majeed scores in CUE conservative group was higher than TES conservative group (P = 0.008). The overall Majeed scores in CUE group was higher than that in TES group (P = 0.039). Conclusions The ultrasonography examination could relatively accurately identify the unstable LC-1 pelvis than the traditional experience strategy, the operative rate could be reduced and the overall function of LC-1 patients could be improved under the ultrasonography examination. Level of evidence Level III.

To study crack propagation around the fracture hole in the coal body induced by high-pressure CO2 gas produced by CO2 phase transition fracturing, the mechanism of permeability enhancement of fractured coal induced by liquid CO2 phase transition fracturing was studied from two aspects, the process of coal gas displacement by competitive adsorption and physical characteristics of fractured coal induced by phase transition. Crack propagation pattern in coal under different lateral coefficients was explored by using discrete-element numerical simulation software. Distribution characteristics of hoop stress of fractured coal were analyzed through theoretical calculation. The results show that: (1) Micro-cracks in damaged coal body generated during phase transition process are mainly crack_tension type, which are formed by the composite action of tension and compression. The crack propagation is the result of the continuous release of compressive stress from concentrated area to the surrounding units. Micro-cracks are radially distributed in a pattern of “flame”. (2) The main crack formed above the fracture hole grows in the direction of vertical minimum initial stress, and the main crack formed below the fracture hole develops in the direction of horizontal initial stress. As the lateral compression coefficient increases, the extension distance of the second crack will not change after reducing to a certain length. (3) As the distance from the fracture hole increases, the peak compression loaded at the monitoring point decays, and the loop stress in the cracked coal is distributed in a pattern of “peanut”. It provides practical methods and ideas for studying the macroscopic and microscopic development of cracks, as well as theoretical support for the on-site hole layout.
