Hypertrophic Pubic Ramus Nonunion: Does Conservative Treatment Helpful?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The treatment of pubic ramus nonunion is usually surgical. We report the successful healing of a hypertrophic nonunion of pubic ramus in a 46 year old active male patient who was treated conservatively with a lumbo-sacral corset. We believe that understanding the injury mechanics in pelvic injury is more important to employ a particular treatment method than to follow the conventional ways of treatment.

Hypertrophic Nonunion Humerus Mimicking an Enchondroma
Introduction. Although fractures of humeral shaft show excellent results with conservative management, nonunion does occur. Case Report. We bring forth the case of a young male with a 1.5-year-old hypertrophic nonunion of the humerus mimicking an enchondroma. The initial X-ray images of the patient appeared to be an enchondroma, which only on further evaluation and histopathological analysis wa...
متن کاملPreliminary results of cannulated screw fixation for isolated pubic ramus fractures
Isolated pubic ramus fractures are common fractures in the elderly, and treatment is typically non-operative. Up to 35 % of patients have a prolonged hospital stay due to pain. A small number of these patients do not respond to standard (non-operative) treatment. We retrospectively reviewed six patients with isolated pubic ramus fractures and persistent pain who were treated with percutaneous r...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to evaluate the results of treating hypertrophic nonunion of mid-shaft clavicle fracture with a limited contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP) without autologous cancellous bone graft. METHODS From 1995 to 2008, 51 cases of hypertrophic nonunion of mid-shaft clavicle fracture were managed with open reduction and internal fixation by LC-DCP without bone ...

متن کاملThe Influence of Pelvic Ramus Fracture on the Stability of Fixed Pelvic Complex Fracture
This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical mechanism of pelvic ring injury for the stability of pelvis using the finite element (FE) method. Complex pelvic fracture (i.e., anterior column with posterior hemitransverse lesion) combined with pelvic ramus fracture was used to evaluate the biomechanics stability of the pelvis. Three FE fracture models (i.e., Dynamic Anterior Plate-Screw System f...
