Fractures, Ununited
Abstract
We presented our experience with Ilizarov augmentation in the treatment of patients with humeral shaft nonunion following failed intramedullary nail fixation.
Seven patients (4 females, 3 males; mean age 47 years; range 32 to 62 years) with established humeral nonunions following antegrade intramedu...

Abstract
To investigate the effect of augmentative plate fixation to increase stability in the treatment of femoral shaft nonunions subsequent to intramedullary fixation.
Nine patients with femoral nonunions after intramedullary nail internal fixation were treated with augmentative plate internal fixation fr...

Abstract
Abstract
The treatment of fracture has been greatly improved, but the incidence of nonunion is still high and which is a challenge that orthopedic clinicians. The treatment of nonunion has been the concern to the scholars. New technologys of surgical and non-surgical therapies continue to emerge, and achieve...

Abstract
We report a case of delayed union fracture of the clavicle in which biological treatment was chosen before considering surgery. Three percutaneous injections of PRGF, one every 2 weeks, were delivered into the delayed union site. The autologous PGRF used was obtained through the patented PRGF system...

Orthopedics (33)9 2010
Abstract
We studied patients with combat-related injuries that required delayed amputation at least 4 months after the initial injury due to dysfunction, persistent pain, and patient desires. Late amputations were performed 22 times in 22 patients (21 men, 1 woman) since 2003. Fourteen patients underwent tra...

Abstract
This is a case of late-onset radial nerve palsy associated with the nonunion of the humeral shaft. Nonunion formation was caused by insufficient osteosynthesis and lack of proper biomechanical conditions for fracture healing. A good final outcome was achieved by simultaneous surgical treatment both...

Abstract
We screened the gene expression profiles of all members of the MMPs, ADAMTS, and their inhibitor TIMPs on human fracture nonunion tissue and matched mineralized callus tissue. Significant results were further analyzed using Western immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry, and in vitro protein interacti...

Abstract
The small sample size did not allow any meaningful conclusion to be drawn from the present study in terms of the primary question of achieving union. Both groups matched in outcomes when evaluated only on a clinical basis. The avoidance of repeat surgery for plate removal is a definite advantage of...

Abstract
Surgical complications of the calcaneus are unique to that structure but do not have a greater incidence than in any other part of the foot or ankle. The first tenet of any complication, however, is to recognize it. When all is said and done, recognition is probably the most important step when a co...

Abstract
Nonunions of fractures occur infrequently and can be multifactorial. Some predisposing factors include fracture instability, poor vascularity and inadequate fracture reduction. The role of metabolic bone disease and endocrine abnormalities in nonunions is often overlooked. This article reports a cas...

Femoral cortical stress lesions in long-term bisphosphonate therapy: a herald of impending fracture?
Abstract
All four cases that fractured had a "dreaded black line" in the lesion, whereas only 1 of 12 patients had this fracture in femurs which remained intact (100% versus 8.3%, P = 0.003). All patients who fractured reported thigh discomfort over 1 month (range, 0.1-9.0 months; standard deviation, 4.0 mon...
