Bone Graft Extruded From an Intramedullary Nail Tract in the Tibia
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 33-year-old man presented for follow up radiographs of the lower leg revealing dense material in the soft tissues of the ankle. These could be traced to a track in the adjacent tibia created by removal of an intramedullary nail and locking screws. This too contained dense bone graft material. The graft had migrated from the locking screw holes in the proximal tibia which had been filled approximately 2 months previously.

Non-:::union::: is a complication in the management of patients who have a fracture of the tibia. The records of twenty patients who were treated by intramedullary nailing with reaming for non :::union::: of the tibia were reviewed. The fractures had been treated initially by closed reduction and immobilization in a cast, external fixation, fixation by pins in a plaster cast and dynamic comp...
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 کاملDetermination of the Best Method of Tibial Nail Length Estimation in Patients with Tibia Fracture
Background & Aims: Tibia fractures are the most common long bone fracture. Due to minimal soft tissue and its blood supply, inadequate treatment of injuries could be a major cause of morbidity and disability. The intramedullary nail is the preferred method of treatment; however, despite all previous studies, no accurate method to measure nail length prior to surgery exists as yet. Due to the im...

Antibiotic cement-coated intramedullary nails maintain a locally high antibiotic concentration while contributing to bone stability. We present a case of femoral subtrochanteric fracture in a patient with an infected nonunion who was successfully treated for an infection and nonunion using an antibiotic cement-coated tibial intramedullary nail. A 79-year-old woman with a right femoral subtrocha...

To assess results of operative treatment of non union fracture shaft of Tibia by intramedullary interlocking nail augmented with autogenous cancellous bone graft in our setup. A total of 25 nonunion tibial shaft fractures were evaluated among which 20 cases were male and 5 female with the mean age 31.84 years. Hypertrophic non-union were 14 and atrophic non union were 11. Upper one third of tib...
