What Is Orthopedic Impairment?

Bone defects mainly include bone defect and defect repair. Bone defect is a common disease in clinical doubt, and it is also one of the problems that are good at orthopedic treatment. The current methods of treating bone defects include autologous and allogeneic bone transplantation, tissue engineering techniques and gene therapy rejection methods, growth factors, and adjuvant treatment with physical therapy.

Treatment of bone defects

Surgery indications: skull defects with a diameter of more than 3cm, patients with fear of insecurity, obvious postural dizziness, headache and other skull defect syndromes or affecting aesthetics.

Contraindications for surgery: infection at the wound site, intracranial hypertension, extensive scarring on the scalp or poor blood supply, severe brain dysfunction, and long-term bedridden patients.

Timing of surgery: Generally 3 to 6 months after the injury, if the wound has been infected, it should be repaired one year after the wound is healed.

Repair materials: autogenous or allogeneic bones, metal materials (such as titanium alloys), plexiglass or silicone rubber can be used.

The causes of bone defects include the following:

(1) Congenital factors

Cleft lip and palate is one of the common factors. According to statistics, the incidence of cleft lip and palate in China is . There are still congenital ear injuries in which ear defects are more common and nasal defects are rare. The above defects are mainly examined due to maternal insufficient nutrition during long pregnancy, endocrine disorders, infection, mental stimulation, damage and genetic factors.

(2) Acquired factors

Trauma: Injuries to the jaws, ears, nose, eyes, and limbs caused by work-related injuries, burns, explosion injuries, and traffic accidents are common.

Illness: The most common is a severe bone defect caused by children with various types of tumor surgery months after removal.

Examination of bone defects

Diagnosis: Typical local clinical manifestations of the defect, many combined with plain radiographs and CT scans, can clearly diagnose the problem.

Laboratory inspection: No special manifestations.

Other auxiliary examinations are such as: the front and side of plain radiographs and other plain radiographs that are good at different orientations can show the location and scope of skull defects. The combination of scanning and X-rays can not only further clarify the location and extent of skull defects, but also understand the surrounding skull, brain, and brain bulging tissue, which is beneficial to surgery.
