Corticocancellous grafting and an AO/ASIF lag screw for nonunion of the scaphoid. A retrospective analysis.

چکیده
We report our experience in 42 patients, using corticocancellous bone grafts and lag screw fixation for un-united scaphoid fractures. Using a grading system, we analysed the suitability of the method for three types of nonunion. We recommend the operation for the treatment of scaphoid nonunion, except where there is avascular necrosis of the proximal pole.

First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis: A Retrospective Comparison of Crossed-screws, Locking and Non-Locking Plate Fixation with Lag Screw
Background:Locking plate fixation is increasingly used for first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP-I) arthrodesis. Still there is few comparable clinical data regarding this procedure. Methods:We retrospectively evaluated 60 patients who received an arthrodesis of the MTP-I between January 2008 and June 2010. With 20 patients each we performed a locking plate fixation with lag screw, arthrodesis w...

متن کاملThe treatment of pseudoarthrosis of the scaphoid by bone grafting and three methods of internal fixation.
OBJECTIVES To measure the rate of union in patients with pseudoarthosis of the scaphoid, treated with trapezoidal bone grafting as outlined by Fernandez and 1 of 3 methods of internal fixation and to compare unions versus nonunions and potential predictors of union to determine if associations exist. DESIGN A retrospective radiologic study of scaphoid pseudoarthroses. SETTING Division of Or...
متن کاملA biomechanical study comparing the compressive forces generated by a conventional 4.5 AO/ASIF cortical lag screw with a differentially pitched cortical compression screw.
The aim of this study was to compare the interfragmentary compression generated across a simulated femoral fracture model by a conventional 4.5 mm AO/ASIF cortical lag screw with a differentially pitched cortical compression screw. A 45-degree osteotomy was made in a whole bone composite femoral shaft, this was internally fixed with either a conventional 4.5 mm AO/ASIF cortical lag screw or the...
متن کاملLaboratory comparison of the cannulated Herbert bone screw with ASIF cancellous lag screws.
The compression produced by and the resistance to pullout of the 6.5 mm cannulated Herbert screw were compared with those of ASIF headed screws. The latter were tested with and without washers and in the following sizes: 4.5 mm cortical, 6.5 mm cancellous with a 16 mm threaded segment, and 6.5 mm cancellous with a 32 mm threaded segment. Polyurethane foam was used as a substitute for cancellous...
