Background: Road traffic injuries are the seventh most common cause of long bone fractures. Following high velocity limb trauma, defects in usually associated with appreciable soft-tissue losses. These open always require multidisciplinary managements to reconstruct composite and soft tissue. Aims Objectives: The aim study was find out radiological clinical outcome, complications, union time co...

PURPOSE. To review outcomes of 7 patients who underwent revision surgery for infected non-union of the humerus using a fibular graft as an intramedullary strut. METHODS. Records of 7 men aged 29 to 59 (mean, 40) years with humeral diaphyseal infected non-union who underwent fixation using a compression plate and a non-vascularised fibular graft as an intramedullary strut were reviewed. The mean...

The results and complications of 104 vascularised fibular grafts in 102 patients are presented. Bony union was ultimately achieved in 97 patients, with primary union in 84 (84%). The mean time to union was 15.5 weeks (8 to 40). In 13 patients, primary union was achieved at one end of the fibula and secondary union at the other end. In these patients, the mean time to union was 31.1 weeks (24 to...

We present this case of an unusual recurrence of a periosteal osteosarcoma in the distal right tibia 2 years after a successful proximal right tibia primary periosteal osteosarcoma excision with a successful fibular graft. This recurrence lead to a right below-knee amputation.

OBJECTIVE Open intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus can be associated with considerable bone loss and extensive soft tissue damage. The management of these injuries is quite challenging, and the restoration of elbow anatomy may require multiple bone and soft tissue surgical procedures. The purpose of this case report is to present the option of addressing at the same time a complex s...

Proximal humerus fractures are commonly encountered in elderly patients. Surgical treatment demonstrates high complication rates, including varus construct collapse and screw cutout. In this study, the authors evaluate the clinical outcome of locking plate fixation with intramedullary fibular strut graft augmentation as a primary surgical treatment in the prevention of early collapse and screw ...

Introduction: Femoral neck fracture at any age always shows relatively higher rate of complications like non union, avascular Necrosis of femoral head, loss of fixation, screw cut-out and delayed secondary osteoarthritis. These fractures in physiologically old age are managed by replacement of femoral head. In Femoral neck fractures in young adult the main aim is to preserve the natural head an...

Background: Intracapsular femoral neck fractures are commonly seen in the elderly population after a trivial fall. The present study was conducted to assess management of fracture femur with internal fixation alone or fibular strut graft. Materials & Methods: 52 patients treated by close / open reduction and using cannulated cancellous screws along graft both genders were enrolled. Parameters s...
