Objective To compare the effectiveness of biplanar vertical fixation and inverted triangle fixation with hollow screw for Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients. Methods The clinical data of 55 young and middle-aged patients with Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fracture between June 2021 and December 2022 was retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with closed reduction and internal fixation with hollow screws, 25 cases were treated with biplanar vertical fixation (study group), 30 cases with inverted triangle fixation (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, affected side, cause of injury, underlying diseases, and time from injury to operation between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy times, guide needle puncture times, starting time of weight bearing, time of full weight bearing, time of fracture healing, and complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. The hip joint function was evaluated by Harris score at 1 day, 6 months, 12 months after operation, and at last follow-up, and the pain relief was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) score. The femoral neck shortening was measured on the X-ray film at last follow-up. Results All patients were followed up 12-31 months (mean, 22.0 months), and there was no significant difference in follow-up time between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and fluoroscopy times in the study group were higher than those in the control group, but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The guide needle puncture times in the study group was more than that in the control group, and the time of starting weight bearing and the time of full weight bearing in the study group were shorter than those in the control group, the differences were significant (P<0.05). Bony healing was achieved in both groups, and there was no significant difference in fracture healing time between the two groups (P>0.05). No osteonecrosis of the femoral head and incision-related complication was found in the two groups during follow-up, and the femoral neck shortening length in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group at last follow-up (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Harris score between the two groups at 1 day after operation (P>0.05), and the Harris score of the study group was significantly better than that of the control group at other time points (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in VAS score between the two groups at each time point after operation (P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with the inverted triangle fixation, the treatment of Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fracture with biplanar vertical fixation can effectively reduce femoral neck shortening without affecting fracture healing, and improve hip joint function in early stage.
Objective To study the application and the curative effect of compressed screw and sartorius bone flap in treating femoral neck fractures in youth or middle age. Methods From February 1996 to December 2004, 86 patients with femoral neck fracture were treated by open reduction compressed screw and sartorius bone flap, aging from 21 to 49 years. Fracture was caused by traffic accident in 35 cases, fall from height in 27 cases and fall in 24 cases. Accoding to Garden classification, 23 cases were type Ⅱ, 25 cases were type Ⅲ, and 15 cases were type Ⅳ. We analyzed fracture healing and evaluate function by observation of the postoperative X-ray films. Results Of the 86 patients, 62 were followed up 6 months to 7 years (2 years and 5 months on average). According to Weijie’s criterion for nonunion and necrosis offemoral head, nonunion occurred in 4 cases; the healing rate of fracture was 93.5%. In healed patients, necrosis of femoral head occurred in 7 cases (11.3%) after 3 years. The results of hip joint function evaluation were excellent in 44 cases, good in 8 cases, fair in 6 cases and poor in 4 cases; and the excellent and good rate was 83.9%. Conclusion Compressed screw and sartorius bone flap was simple and effective for femoral neck fractures in youth or middle age.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of cerebral hemorrhage in young and elderly patients, to provide evidences for individual clinical diagnosis and treatment, and lay a foundation for building a predictive model of prognosis in cerebral hemorrhage.MethodsPatients with spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage in the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu were recruited prospectively and continuously from January 2014 to January 2019. They were divided into the youth group (≤50 years old) and the elderly group (>50 years old), and their risk factors, disease characteristics, etiology, and prognosis were analyzed.ResultsA total of 757 patients were recruited. There were 160 cases (21.1%) in the youth group, including 120 males and 40 females, aged from 17 to 50 years, with an average age of (42.06±7.62) years old; 597 cases (78.9%) in the elderly group, including 361 males and 236 females, aged from 51 to 96 years, with an average age of (69.34±10.56) years old. The incidences of hypertension (74.2% vs. 51.2%), diabetes (15.1% vs. 4.4%), coronary heart disease (12.1% vs. 1.3%), and the level of blood glucose at admission [7.1 (5.8, 8.4) vs. 6.3 (5.3, 8.1) mmol/L] in the elderly group were higher than those in the youth group (P<0.05), respectively. However, the proportions of males (60.5% vs. 75.0%), smoking (24.5% vs. 36.9%), and the diastolic blood pressure at admission [(92.37±18.50) vs. (100.95±25.25) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)] in the elderly group were lower than those in the youth group (P<0.05), respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups in systolic blood pressure at admission, Glasgow Coma Score, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, initial hematoma volume, hematoma enlargement, brain hernia, location of hemorrhage, midline shift, hydrocephalus, combined subarachnoid hemorrhage, or intraventricular extension (P>0.05). Hypertension was the most common etiology in the two groups. There was a significant difference in the etiology of cerebral hemorrhage between the two groups (P<0.05), the difference was mainly reflected in cerebral amyloid angiopathy, cavernous hemangioma, and arteriovenous malformation. The fatality rate during hospitalization (9.4% vs. 20.9%), 3 months after discharge (10.3% vs. 26.3%), and at 1 year follow-up (19.0% vs. 37.6%) in the youth group was lower than that in the elderly group (P<0.05), respectively. The disability rate 3 months after discharge and at 1 year follow-up in the youth group was lower than that in the elderly group (32.1% vs. 44.2%, 16.9% vs. 34.4%; P<0.05), respectively.ConclusionsThe education of healthy lifestyles should be strengthened to reduce the adverse effects of smoking in young patients. Young patients should choose antihypertensives that can control diastolic blood pressure better. There are more structural abnormalities in young patients, so routine vascular examination is reasonable. It is necessary to focus on whether the original underlying diseases are stable in elderly patients. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is an important cause of cerebral hemorrhage in elderly patients, and is a risk factor of recurrence. Anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy should be cautious.
Objective To analyze midterm effectiveness of percutaneous compression plate (PCCP) for femoral neck fractures in young and middle-aged patients. Methods The clinical data of 173 young and middle-aged patients with femoral neck fractures who met the selection criteria and were treated with PCCP internal fixation between January 2011 and March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 102 males and 71 females; the age ranged from 18 to 59 years, with an average age of 44.9 years. The injury causes included falling in 112 cases, traffic accident in 32 cases, falling from height in 21 cases, struck in 7 cases, and sprain in 1 case. According to Garden classification, there were 90 cases without displacement (51 cases of type Ⅰ and 39 cases of type Ⅱ) and 83 cases with displacement (51 cases of type Ⅲ and 39 cases of type Ⅳ). According to Pauwels classification, there were 10 cases of type Ⅰ, 88 cases of type Ⅱ, and 75 cases of type Ⅲ. The time from injury to operation was 1-14 days, with an average of 4.5 days. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, perioperative blood transfusion, and hospitalization stay were recorded; the fracture reduction was evaluated by Garden alignment index at 1 day after operation; fracture healing and complications were observed, and Harris score was used to evaluate the effectiveness at last follow-up. Results The operation time was 34-130 minutes (mean, 78.6 minutes); the intraoperative blood loss was 10-250 mL (mean, 93.2 mL); 171 cases did not receive blood transfusion during perioperative period, 2 patients received blood transfusion of 400 mL and 800 mL respectively; the hospitalization stay was 3-19 days (mean, 11.3 days). All 173 cases were followed up 11-103 months, with an average of 42.6 months. Postoperative reduction quality was satisfactory in 170 cases and unsatisfactory in 3 cases. There were 13 cases of osteonecrosis of femoral head, 1 case of screw cutting out, 2 cases of screw withdrawal, 5 cases of femoral neck shortening, and no deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremity requiring surgical intervention. Fractures healed in 172 patients, and the healing time ranged from 3.0 to 7.5 months, with an average of 3.6 months; 1 case of nonunion occurred. Internal fixation was removed after fracture healing in 51 patients. At last follow-up, Harris score was excellent in 156 cases, good in 11 cases, fair in 3 cases, and poor in 3 cases, with an excellent and good rate of 96.5%. ConclusionThe treatment of femoral neck fractures with PCCP has advantages of rigid fixation, immediate weight-bearing, and sliding compression, reducing the incidences of osteonecrosis of femoral head and nonunion.

Objective To study the application effect of Snyder hope theory combined with Satir model in the rehabilitation therapy of young and middle-aged patients with stroke. Methods A total of 224 young and middle-aged patients with stroke admitted to Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University between August 2018 and August 2020 were divided into four groups (control group, Satir group, Snyder group, and combined group) according to the random number table method by taking admission time as sequence. All patients were given rehabilitation training on the basis of conventional treatment, and the Satir group was given group guidance of Satir model, the Snyder group was given hope therapy based on Snyder hope theory, and the combined group was given intervention combined Snyder hope theory with Satir model. All patients were continuously treated for six weeks. The scores of Herth Hope Index (HHI), Self-perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), exercise rehabilitation willingness questionnaire, Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile Ⅱ (HPLP Ⅱ), and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were compared among the four groups before and after intervention. Results There were 53, 52, 54, and 52 patients enrolled in the control group, the Satir group, the Snyder group, and the combined group, respectively. The differences among the four groups in basic information such as sex, age, and type of stroke and the scores of the above scales before intervention were not statistically significant (P>0.05). After intervention, the total scores of HHI scale (27.65±6.34, 30.54±6.85, 32.79±7.12, 35.08±7.63), scores of exercise rehabilitation willingness (39.85±8.16, 40.52±7.93, 40.17±8.25, 43.81±7.46), total scores of HPLP Ⅱ scale (149.87±26.08, 159.32±26.73, 165.89±28.01, 173.18±28.54), and scores of positive coping style of SCSQ scale (19.65±5.08, 22.46±5.29, 25.04±4.91, 28.45±5.12) of the four groups significantly increased compared with those before intervention (P<0.05), while the total scores of SPBS scale (27.35±4.92, 23.74±5.02, 25.16±4.98, 21.49±5.27) and scores of negative coping style of SCSQ scale (4.83±1.25, 3.71±1.02, 3.94±1.08, 4.13±0.96) significantly decreased compared with those before intervention (P<0.05); the scores of HHI scale, exercise rehabilitation willingness, HPLP Ⅱ scale, and positive coping style of SCSQ scale of the combined group were higher than those of the other three groups (P<0.05), while the score of SPBS scale was lower than that of the other three groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Snyder hope theory combined with Satir model for rehabilitation therapy of young and middle-aged patients with stroke can help to improve the hope level, reduce the self-perceived burden, and improve the exercise rehabilitation willingness, health behaviors and coping styles. In addition, it is of great significance for promoting the rehabilitation of patients.
