Data were obtained from 66 clinical patients. The patients were divided into a non-3D printing group (control group) and a 3D printing group (intervention group) in a 1 : 1 ratio, with 33 patients in each group. The information including gender, age, incision length, number of surgical roots, bleeding volume, operation time, and intraoperative blood transfusion was collected for SPSS analysis. The results showed the following: (1) The paired t-test was used to test the difference of experimental data. There was a significant difference of 0.01 between the incision length/surgical root number in the intervention group and the incision length/surgical root number in the control group. The incision length/surgical root number in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group. (2) Surgical time, intraoperative blood transfusion, age, and incision length/surgical root number in the intervention group had a significant positive impact on the amount of bleeding. Gender did not affect the amount of bleeding. (3) A total of 1 item of operation time in the intervention group had a significant positive impact on intraoperative blood transfusion. (4) The incision length/number of surgical roots in the intervention group had a noteworthy negative impact on blood transfusion during the operation.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between fracture line morphology, bone quality and fracture morphology of the posterior medial humeral calcar in proximal humeral fractures METHODS: CT data of patients with proximal humeral fractures diagnosed in our hospital from 06/2019 to 06/2021 were retrospectively analyzed to describe the map and coordinate analysis of the posterior medial humeral calcar fracture based on three-dimensional reconstruction, to create varus, valgus and normal groups according to the inclination angle of the humeral head, and to measure the bone mass of the posterior medial humeral calcar and perform statistical analysis.RESULTS: Sixty-two patients met the inclusion criteria, aged 15 to 72 years, there were 21 varus, 24 valgus and 17 normal types. Epiphyseal extension occurred most frequently posteriorly and medially, with the fracture line ending mostly posterior to the greater tuberosity. The thickness of the varus was (2.33 ± 0.47), valgus was (2.59 ± 0.33) and normal type was (2.69 ± 0.53). The T-test showed that the thickness of the bone in the varus was less than the other two types, and bone density and pinch angle were no statistically significant.CONCLUSION: There is no correlation between the trend of the posterior medial fracture line of the humeral calcar, bone density and internal, external rotation of the humeral head. The medial bone thickness after varus is less than that of valgus and normal fractures. The fracture line endpoint is mostly located posterior to the greater tuberosity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
