Case Reports
Intrapelvic Kirschner wire Migration following Developmental Dysplasia of Hip Surgery and Laparoscopic Removal.
Salter innominate osteotomy remains the most commonly performed pelvic osteotomy for the Developmental Dysplasia of Hip in children after 18 months of age up to six years. Kirschner wire (K- wire) is used to fix the bone graft across the osteotomy site. ⋯ We present a case of a 2-year-old girl with Right sided Developmental Dysplasia of Hip who underwent Femoral shortening and Salter innominate osteotomy, presented three months later with intrapelvic migration of k-wire. Paediatric Surgery consult was obtained and K-wire was removed laparoscopically without any complications successfully.

To evaluate the value of cardiac troponin(cTn), myoglobin(Myo) combined with heart-type fatty acid-binding protein(H-FABP) detection in the diagnosis of early acute myocardial infarction(AMI). ⋯ The combined detection of cardiac markers such as cTn, Myo and H-FABP presents higher sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of AMI compared with any single detection, and can provide better data support for the definite diagnosis of AMI, with high clinical application value.

To investigate the analgesic effect of thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy under general anesthesia (GA). ⋯ TPVB combined with GA can improve the analgesic effect, improve MAP and HR during the operation, and reduce the incidence of adverse events in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.
