    查看更多>>摘要:Purpose:Different arch structures may cause different foot function injuries.In the past,the arch structure and flexibility of the foot were often defined by the height of the arch,and there was no three-dimensional(3D)structure classification method.In order to form a more complete 3D description,we propose a new classification system of arch volume flexibility(AVF),and then use this new classification system to investigate the relationship between the AVF and arch index(AI),and the arch height flexibility(AHF)and AI,respectively.Methods:It is proposed to recruit 180 young male adults for the test.We obtained arch volume and AI through 3D scanning and obtained the navicular height through manual measurement.Based on these data,we calculated the AHF and the AVF.Using the quintile method,these arches are divided into very stiff,stiff,neutral,flexible,and very flexible.According to AI value,all arches were divided into cavus,rectus,and planus.The distribution of AVF was compared using x2 goodness of fit test.The spearman correlation test was used to compare the AHF and AVF.A p<0.05 indicates that the difference is sta-tistically significant.Results:All participants'plantar data was obtained through 3D scanning,but only 159 of them were complete,so only 318 feet had valid data.The left AHF is(21.23±12.91)mm/kN,and the right AHF is(21.71±12.69)mm/kN.The AVF of the left foot arch is(207.35±118.28)mm3/kg,while the right one is(203.00±117.92)mm3/kg,and the total AVF of the arch was(205.17±117.94)mm3/kg.There was no statistical difference in the AVF between the left and right feet for the same participant(n=159,p=0.654).In cavus,the percentage of arch with AVF is 21.4%(very stiff),21.4%(stiff),14.3%(neutral),7.1%(flexible),and 35.7%(very flexible).In rectus,the percentage of arch with AVF is 23.9%(very stiff),19.6%(stiff),14.7%(neutral),24.5%(flexible),and 17.2%(very flexible).In planus,the percentage of arch with AVF is 14.9%(very stiff),20.6%(stiff),27.0%(neutral),16.3%(flexible),and 21.3%(very flexible).Moreover,the correlation between AHF and AVF is not significant(p=0.060).Conclusion:In caws,rectus,and planus,different AVF accounts different percentage,but the difference is not statistically significant.AVF is evenly distributed in the arches of the feet at different heights.We further found the relationship between AHF and AVF is not significant.As a 3D index,AVF may be able to describe the flexibility of the arch more comprehensively than AHF.

    查看更多>>摘要:Talar extrusions are the rare extreme case of talar fractures and dislocations which are associated with high-energy trauma.Given the rarity of talar extrusion,no proper treatment protocol has been estab-lished.The earlier treatment outcomes have been poor due to the high rate of infection and avascular necrosis.However,more recent literature advised reimplanting the talus whenever practical,and providing with meticulous cleaning of the talus.In the presence of infection and severe trauma,tibio-calcaneal fusion achieved by the Ilizarov external fixator can be an effective salvage method.

    查看更多>>摘要:Bosworth fracture and dislocation is relatively rare,accounting for about 1%of ankle fractures.It is characterized by the proximal fibula fracture embedded in the posterolateral distal tibia.Due to an insufficient understanding of this fracture,it is easy to cause missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis in clinical practice.Due to the insertion of the fracture,it is challenging to perform closed reduction,and improper treatment is easy to cause complications.Surgical treatment is recommended for this type of fracture.In order to improve the understanding of orthopedic surgeons about Bosworth fracture and dislocation,this paper reports the diagnosis and treatment of 2 cases of Bosworth fracture and dislo-cation,and reviews the literature on Bosworth fracture's mechanism,diagnosis,classification,compli-cations,and treatment options in recent years.

    查看更多>>摘要:Purpose:As common clinical screening tests cannot effectively predict a difficult airway,and unantici-pated difficult laryngoscopy remains a challenge for physicians.We herein used ultrasound to develop some point-of-care predictors for difficult laryngoscopy.Methods:This prospective observational study included 502 patients who underwent laryngoscopy and a detailed sonographic assessment.Patients under 18 years old,or with maxillofacial deformities or fractures,limited mouth opening,limited neck movement or history of neck surgery were excluded from the study.Laryngoscopic views of all patients were scored and grouping using the modified Cormack-Lehane(CL)scoring system.The measurements acquired comprised tongue width,the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the tongue,tongue volume,the mandible-hyoid bone distance,the hyoid bone-glottis distance,the mandible-hyoid bone-glottis angle,the skin-thyrohyoid membrane distance,the glottis-superior edge of the thyroid cartilage distance(DGTC),the skin-hyoid bone distance,and the epiglottis midway-skin distance.ANOVA and Chi-square were used to compare differences between groups.Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for difficult laryngoscopy and it was visu-alized by receiver operating characteristic curves and nomogram.R version 3.6.3 and SPSS version 26.0 were used for statistical analyses.Results:Difficult laryngoscopy was indicated in 49 patients(CL grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ)and easy laryngoscopy in 453 patients(CL grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ).The ultrasound-measured mandible-hyoid bone-glottis angle and DGTC significantly differed between the 2 groups(p<0.001).Difficult laryngoscopy was predicted by an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.930 with a threshold mandible-hyoid bone-glottis angle of 125.5° and by an AUC of 0.722 with a threshold DGTC of 1.22 cm.The longitudinal cross-sectional area of the tongue,tongue width,tongue volume,the mandible-hyoid distance,and the hyoid-glottis distance did not significantly differ between the groups.Conclusion:Difficult laryngoscopy may be anticipated in patients in whom the mandible-hyoid bone-glottis angle is smaller than 125.5° or DGTC is larger than 1.22 cm.
