Orthogonal Double Plating and Autologous Bone Grafting of Postoperative Humeral Shaft Nonunion – A Rare Case Report and Review of Literature
INTRODUCTION Nonunion following surgical stabilization of humeral shaft fractures, although infrequent, remains a challenge as limited surgical options are available. The difficulties in re-fixation are due to osteolysis produced by the loose implant components and disuse osteopenia of the entire bone segment. We share our experience in the management of a long standing diaphyseal nonunion of h...
متن کاملStep-Cut Osteotomy for Recalcitrant Humeral Shaft Nonunion.
The majority of humeral shaft nonunions resolve following operative intervention; however, a small percentage will persist despite surgical efforts. These cases of persistent nonunion are frustrating for patients and challenging for orthopedic surgeons. The authors describe the use of a step-cut osteotomy of the humeral diaphysis coupled with neutralization plating and autologous bone grafting ...
متن کاملLinked elbow replacement: a salvage procedure for distal humeral nonunion.
BACKGROUND Nonunion is a challenging and not uncommon complication of distal humeral fractures. Our long-term experience with linked semiconstrained total elbow arthroplasty as a salvage procedure for patients with distal humeral nonunion not amenable to internal fixation was investigated. METHODS Ninety-one consecutive patients (ninety-two elbows) underwent total elbow arthroplasty for the t...
متن کاملReaming bone grafting to treat tibial shaft aseptic nonunion after plating.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of using intramedullary reaming to provide cancellous bone graft, and reamed intramedullary nail stabilisation to provide fragment stability on treating tibial shaft aseptic nonunions after plating. METHODS 31 consecutive patients with tibial shaft aseptic nonunions after plating were prospectively treated. Indications for this technique included a tibial ...
متن کاملResults of surgical treatment of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture with dynamic compression plate and cancellous bone grafting
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the treatment of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture with dynamic compression plate from January 2002 to December 2009. METHODS Twenty-two patients were treated over the study period. Trauma was the predominant cause of injury in 86.4% of the patients. RESULTS Nonunion was atrophic in 81.8% and hypertrophic in 18.2% of the individuals. There was a primary injury of the...
