Objective: to investigate the safety and long-term efficacy of core decompression with synthetic calcium-sulfate bone grafting on non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Method: a total of 76 patients with non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head were admitted to our hospital from February 2012 to November 2014 and included in the study. All the patients were treated by core decompression with synthetic calcium-sulfate bone grafting. After treatment, the patients were followed-up for 12 months. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and perioperative complications were also recorded intraoperatively to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety. The preoperative and postoperative pain scores measured by visual analogy score (VAS) were also recorded and compared. Results: all of the 76 patients were successfully operated and included in the study. The mean operation time was 34.6±14.2 min, and the intraoperative blood loss was 23.6±8.9 mL. The patients hip functions were assessed on the basis of the Harris hip score, 3 and 12 months after operation. The excellent rates 3 and 12 months after operation were significantly higher than those before operation (P<0.05). The imaging stabilities of the hip joints 3 and 12 months after operation were significantly higher than those before operation (P<0.05). The patient postoperative pain scores (VAS score) gradually decreased. The VAS scores 12 months after operation were significantly lower than those before operation (P<0.05). Conclusion: the long-term efficacy of core decompression with synthetic calcium-sulfate bone grafting on non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head is good and accompanied with significantly improved postoperative joint functions.

Abstract Objective: To compare early clinical effects of the femoral neck system (FNS) and three cannulated screws for the treatment of patients with unstable femoral neck fractures.Methods: A retrospective analysis with pair matching of 81 patients who received FNS or cannulated screw internal fixation for Pauwels type-3 femoral neck fracture in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2019 was conducted. Patients who received FNS were the test group, and those who received cannulated screws comprised the control group. Matching requirements were as follows: same sex, similar age and similar body mass index (BMI). A total of 30 pairs were successfully matched, and the average age was 53.84 years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, hospitalization cost, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, time to walking without crutches, Harris score, femoral head necrosis rate and complication rate were compared between the groups.Results: Postoperative re-examination of radiographs showed satisfactory reduction in all patients, and all patients were followed up for 10-22 months. Those in the FNS group had lower postoperative VAS scores, earlier times to walking without crutches, higher Harris scores at the last follow-up and lower complication rates (P<0.05). However, intraoperative blood loss and hospitalization costs were greater in the FNS group (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference in operation time, hospital stay or femoral head necrosis rate was observed between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion: For patients with unstable femoral neck fractures, FNS has better clinical efficacy than cannulated screws, though it is also more expensive. The excellent biomechanical performance and clinical efficacy of FNS make it a new choice for the treatment of unstable femoral neck fractures.

Objective. To investigate the feasibility of using 3D printed personalized guide plates in core decompression procedures for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Methods. The clinical data of 8 patients undergoing femoral head core decompression from January to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Three-dimensional (3D) images of the patients were reconstructed from the CT scan data taken preoperatively. From the data obtained, puncture position, drill hole, and depth were evaluated, and individualized 3D puncture guide plates were designed using Mimics 21.0 software. During the operation, the needle went through the hole of the guide plate, the depth of the drill was controlled, and the obtained bone tissues were sent for pathological evaluation. Intraoperative X-ray and postoperative pathological results were used to evaluate the success of the puncture. Results. The individualized guide plates used for core compression on the 8 patients were well fitted with the anatomic structure of the puncture site, and the direction and depth of the needle insertion were consistent with the preoperative design. The operation time was about 15-22 mins. The position of the decompression tunnel was the same as the designed plate. The postoperative pathology showed necrotic bone tissue. There were no postoperative complications such as infection, bleeding, and fracture. Conclusion. The 3D printed individualized guide plate can simplify core decompression and would make this procedure more accurate, safe, and quick, in addition to obtaining necrotic tissues for pathological examination.

Abstract Objective: Core decompression bone grafting usually is used hip-preserving approach for osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an adjuvant therapy, combined with core decompression bone grafting for ONFH. However, it remains controversial. Therefore, its efficacy was systematically evaluated and meta-analysis in this study.Methods: Literature on core decompression bone grafting for ONFH was retrieved in CNKI, Wan Fang, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science from inception to March 2021. Review Manager 5.3 software and Stata 12.0 software were used for data synthesis.Results: A total of 10 RCTs were included. The results showed at final follow-up that, Harris hip score was significantly difference in the treatment group, adjuvant therapy with PRP (group A) better than the control group (group B), MD=7.53 [95%CI (5.29,9.77)]，P < 0.00001. There was MD=-0.71[95%CI (-0.96, -0.46)], P < 0.00001, of visual analog scale (VAS) of hip pain between the two groups. The excellent and good rate of function of hip was 1.42-fold higher in group A than that in group B, RR=1.42, 95%CI (1.25,1.62), P<0.00001. The progression and total hip arthroplasty were showed improvements, RR=0.37,95%CI (0.21,0.65), P=0.0006 and RR=0.39,95%CI (0.18,0.85), P=0.02, respectively. Begg's and Egger's tests did not indicate publication bias.Conclusion: It was shown that the use of PRP combined with core decompression bone grafting improved the symptoms better than core decompression bone grafting only, and might delay progression and total hip arthroplasty. However, as the study’s limitations, it needed to be fully verified by more large-sample multicenter prospective clinical studies.

Abstract Background: To analyze perioperative conditions and long-term efficacy of open modified ureterosigmoidostomy urinary diversion (OMUUD) in patients with bladder cancer who underwent open radical cystectomy (ORC) and laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC).Methods: In this retrospective study, the clinical data of patients who underwent open and laparoscopic radical cystectomy plus open modified ureterosigmoidostomy urinary diversion in our hospital were collected from January 2011 to December 2019. In addition, perioperative data of 56 patients who underwent ORC and OMUUD were compared with those of 118 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) plus OMUUD. A long-term follow-up was performed to compare the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rate between the two groups.Results: Results showed that there was no significant difference between ORC+OMUUD group and LRC+OMUUD group in terms of gender, age, body index, pre-operative ASA grade, history of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) before surgery, tumor T stage, lymph node dissection range, pathological grade, and positive postoperative surgical margin. The mean operation time in the open group was shorter than that in the laparoscopic group （P<0.001）. Moreover, the estimated intraoperative blood loss（P<0.001）and postoperative hospital stay（P=0.023）were better in the laparoscopic group than in the open group. The incidence of complications between 30 days (P=0.665) and 90 days (P=0.211) time-points after surgery was not significantly different. Similarly, the OS (P=0.237) and PFS (P=0.307) between the two groups were comparable.Conclusion: This study shows that the LRC group has long operation time, but less estimated intraoperative blood loss, short postoperative hospital stay, small trauma, and fast postoperative recovery compared to open surgery. Moreover, the incidence of complications at 30 - and 90-days postoperation, as well as the OS and PFS is not different between laparoscopy and open surgery.

Abstract Background: To explore the clinical effect of robot-assisted core decompression combined with bone grafting in the treatment of femoral head necrosis involved in early stage.Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study. The study included 49 patients (78 hips) who attended the Department of Orthopedics and Joint Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from August 2019 to February 2021. All the patients suffering Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) II stage of femoral head necrosis underwent core decompression and bone grafting. Among the patients undergoing surgery, 30 patients (54 hips) were treated with traditional surgical methods, and 19 patients (24 hips) were assisted by the made-in-China orthopedic robot system. All operations were performed by the same operator. The baseline data of the two groups of patients, the time of unilateral operation, the number of unilateral X-ray fluoroscopy, the Harris hip score (HHS) at the last follow-up after surgery, the visual analog score (VAS), and the collapse rate at the last follow-up were collected and compared. Results: A total of 41 patients (70 hips) were followed up, including 24 cases (42 hips) in the traditional surgery group and 17 cases in the robot-assisted group (28 hips). The average follow-up time of all cases was (13.9±3.4) months (range: 8-18 months). At the last follow-up, a total of 13 patients (13 hips) suffered femoral head surface collapse, including 11 patients in the traditional surgery group (11 hips) and 2 patients in the robot-assisted group (2 hips). The rate of femoral head collapse between the two groups had statistical difference. The average operation time of unilateral hip in the traditional operation group was (22.5±5.5) min, and (18.2±4.0) min in the robot-assisted group, with significant difference. The number of X-ray fluoroscopy of unilateral hip in the traditional operation group was (14.7±3.1) times, and (10.1±3.1) times in the robot-assisted group, with significant difference. The HHS before surgery in the traditional surgery group was (63.8±3.2) points, and (84.6±3.4) points at the last follow-up,while the preoperative HHS of the robot-assisted surgery group was (65.5±3.5) points, and (85.9±3.1) points at the last follow-up. The HHS at the last follow-up of the two groups were significantly different from those before the operation, but there was no difference between the two groups. The preoperative VAS of the traditional surgery group was (4.8±0.8) points, and (1.7±1.2) points at the last follow-up. The preoperative VAS of the robot-assisted surgery group was (5.0±0.7) points, and (0.9±0.7) points at the last follow-up. At the last follow-up of the two groups, there were significant differences in VAS, and significant difference between the two groups was also detected.Conclusion: Core decompression combined with bone grafting have a definite effect in the treatment of femoral head necrosis at early stage. Compared with traditional surgery, robot-assisted surgery can achieve better short-term results and head preservation rate.
