results overall, ≥ 2 mm shortening of the radius was seen in 28% of the patients, 53% had 2 - 5 mm radial shortening and 19% of the patients had more than 5 mm shortening of the radius. most of the participants had acceptable outcomes. the mean angulation was 6.28 ± 2.85 degrees and the mean shortening was 3.92 ± 2.22. thirty-nine percent of the patients had an angulation of less than 5 mm, 56%...

Development of novel implants in orthopaedic trauma surgery is based on limited datasets of cadaver trials or artificial bone models. A method has been developed whereby implants can be constructed in an evidence based method founded on a large anatomic database consisting of more than 2.000 datasets of bones extracted from CT scans. The aim of this study was the development and clinical applic...

Longitudinal deficiency tibia, total or partial Orthopaedic-surgical t reatment cannot be avoided if a child with this condition is to walk. If possible the operat ion is carried out at the suckling age, so that walking can start according to the child's development . If, in the case of longitudinal deficiency tibia total , the femoral condyles and the knee capsule are normal , and if the child...

A unique combination of external and internal fixation techniques, for a fibular lengthening procedure using the Ilizarov method is described. The technique is minimally invasive, allows precise deformity correction, enables early weight bearing, and minimizes the time that the patient wears the external fixator. Introduction Bone lengthening procedures have, over time, been approached in a var...

a fissure was discovered extending upwards through the shaft of the tibia as far as the articular cartilage. It was accordingly f ound necessary to amputate at the knee joint. A broad anterior flap, and as long as possible, extending down, in fact, to the edge of the laceration, was dissected off", the joint was then opened and a short posterior flap cut through the muscles at the back. The joi...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT The fibula is a source of bone graft for reconstruction of the appendicular and axial skeleton. PURPOSE The aim of this study is to determine donor-site complications and morbidity in a large series of patients who underwent autogenous fibula harvesting for anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) surgery. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING Retrospective review (Level III). PAT...

objective: to evaluate and report the functional results of surgical management of intercondylar fractures of the humerus in adults using a novel dual plating technique. methods: a total number of 60 patients with riseborough and radin type ii, iii, and iv intercondylar humerus fractures were operated with open reduction through a trans-olecranon approach and internal fixation using two plates ...

background: intra-articular t- type or y- type fractures of the distal end of the humerus are relatively rare, and consequently few surgeons will be able to attain extensive experience with the surgical treatment of these injuries. the current emphasis is on operative intervention with rigid internal fixation and early mobilization. methods: in this prospective and retrospective study, we revie...

Objective: To evaluate the donor site morbidity of iliac and fibular nonvascularized bone graft after mandibular resection. Material Methods: This study was guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) in PubMed, Proquest, Science Direct, Ebsco. A total 12 studies met criteria humans using grafts reconstruction Results: greater proportion patients received (...
