Local Microcirculatory Changes of Primary Bone Lengthening Using External Fixator for Bone Defects from Gunshots

Stage IE Primary Bone Lymphoma:Limb Salvage for Local Recurrence

Background:   Primary bone lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma of bone is a rare disease. There are only a few case series of stage IE of this condition in medical literature. The aim of this study is to determine the rate of survival   for stage IE after combined modality treatment, the rate of local recurrence, and the results of limb salvage in cases   of local recurrence.     Methods:   We col...

Management of tibial bone defects due to high energy trauma using the locally manufactured external fixator by segmental bone transport.

BACKGROUND Bone defect in long bones is a problem in orthopaedic which needs proper treatment to restore limb length and function of the limb. There are various treatment modalities available to fill the detect like bone grafting, vascularised bone graft, allograft and bone transport through fixators (Ring or Uniplanner). This study was done to determine the outcome of locally manufactured Exte...

Femoral lengthening with a rail external fixator: tips and tricks

Lengthening the femur with an external fixator is commonly practised for a wide variety of pathologies. This technical report includes tips derived from observation and experience in a busy limb reconstruction unit. It focuses on the use of a rail fixator, although some of the descriptions are applicable to lengthening by circular fixators.
