One of the most common complications following distal radius fractures is still malunion of the distal radius. This review of the literature surrounding distal radius malunion covers the biomechanics of distal radial malunion, treatment options, indications for surgery, surgical techniques, and results.

No detrimental effect could be found on the gait pattern or pain after surgery. Based on these measurements, the minimally invasive anterolateral approach did not appear to provide functional benefits in outcome over the mDL approach. Consequently, both surgical approaches seem to be equally applicable approaches with good to very good functional results.

Therefore, the postoperative 3D-CT is beneficial for evaluating the outcome of Chiari osteotomy, especially when the anterolateral coverage of femoral head is significantly insufficient preoperatively.

This technique was successfully used in seven cases who presented with extensive superior and/or posterio-superior acetabular defect, which created a risk of spacer dislocation. With this technique we were able to avoid any further dislocation in these seven cases. We believe that the technique may reduce postoperative spacer dislocation in cases with extensive acetabular defects, while improving clinical outcomes.

The subjects were seven patients with the distal clavicle fractures. According to Neer’s or Rockwood’s classification on plain radiographs, all seven patients were evaluated as type 2 or 2B, respectively. Our surgical procedure was performed with the patient in the beach chair position. We have used the artificial ligament with an EndoButton (Smith & Nephew Endoscopy, Andover, MA) as the substitute ligament to reconstruct the disrupted conoid ligament. The mean duration of postoperative follow-up was 2 years and 5 months. The bony union was achieved in all patients at a final follow-up. When concerning the range of motion...

We feel that this technique can potentially be integrated into the imaging algorithm for femoral shaft fractures in the future, and can potentially optimize clinical outcomes by allowing the orthopaedic surgeon to determine precisely the appropriate native FAV.

In addition, authors used varying time frames for re-fracture and medication use, making direct comparisons impossible. Authors should consider including intervention costs, medication use beyond 6 months of the intervention, and re-fracture data in future fracture secondary prevention programs.

We searched the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE and EMBASE for published randomized clinical trials comparing cemented with uncemented hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures. Eight trials assessing 1,175 hips were eligible for meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that there was no significant difference between cemented and uncemented group with regard to the mortality, reoperation rates and postoperational complications. The overall incidence of residual pain at 1 year after operation was 23.6% in the cemented prosthesis and 34.4% in the uncemented, with significant difference (relativ...

In the present study, significant improvements were achieved after operation in both groups, confirming the usefulness of both techniques. No clear merit of one method over the other was found, not only from the conventional objective assessments but also from the patient-based subjective evaluation.

A critical review of the literature http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5478592&cid=s_33466_31_f&fid=33466&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springerlink.com%2Fcontent%2F67261wt87646x112%2F We present a critical analysis of the current evidence from a systemic literature review of comparative studies, long-term case series, prior literature reviews, meta-analysis, and national arthroplasty registry data for cemented and uncemented acetabular components to determine the respective survivorship rates, overall risk of re-operation, dislocation rates, and wear-related complications. Using contemporary techniques, both cemented and uncemented sockets can yield good long-term results, but our evaluation suggests that the overall/all cause re-operation risk is lower for cemented fixation. Until and unless crosslinked polyethylene (PE) liners or alternative bearings can prove to yield superior outcome in the future, the cemented PE cup remains the gold standard, in all age grou...

It can provide excellent/good long-term functional results in the majority of patients, with very high satisfaction levels and sustained improvement in pain symptoms. The use of femoral head bone allograft is both effective in obtaining bony union and by definition avoids the donor-site morbidity. Knees with patellar malalignment may also undergo individualised medialisation of the tibial tubercle such that the patella lies in the centre of the femoral trochlea, and may benefit from lateral trochleaplasty surgery in the presence of trochlear dysplasia. However, the major operative complication rate i...

Clinical relevance  We recommend to perform the Latarjet technique with an anterior capsule reconstruction (e.g. CAL transfer) and with a transfer of the coracoid bone block rather than a transposition of the coracoid tip. Furthermore, we were able to show that an intact subscapularis tendon is a necessary prerequisite for a reliable stabilization.

With limb salvage always preferable, surgeons rely on already established techniques such as grafting and distraction osteogenesis to avoid amputation, and ideally restore structure and thus function. The Masquelet technique is an effective method of bone reconstruction and limb salvage which is underreported in the English literature, and we report a case with advances using a cage and nail construct, resulting in successful eradication of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus infection and reconstitution of a 17 cm diaphyseal defect in the tibia.

To gain access to the depressed articular fragments, the split fragment is hinged open laterally. We elevate the depressed articular fragments to the normal level. The defect below is filled with bone graft or its substitutes. We then close the split fragment and apply rafting screws either through the screw holes of the plate or separately above the plate rather in a blind fashion. We therefore cannot be sure that the rafting screws are supporting the specific elevated fragments. For this reason some surgeons place the rafting screws from within and then clo...

However, there is a lack of accepted methodological standardization and definitions. We propose a concept to support the consensus development of a standardized management and classification of complications in clinical research. Methods  Complication events are examined regarding their clinical presentation, their timing of occurrence as well as their potential causal interrelationship for any given patient. Their clinical presentation is distinguished by their likely triggers, their therapeutic management, and their outcome. Complications are events (including relevant deviations from their expected healing process) that ...

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a possible surgical method of treatment. Recent data have shown that the treating partial-thickness rotator cuff repairs with transtendon technique shows good clinical outcome. The use of this technique enables the reconstitution of the tendon with complete reconstruction of its footprint without damaging its intact bursal part. In cases of high grade partial articular-sided degenerative rotator cuff tears (involving >50% of the tendon) in older patients, there is a possibility of poor healing or re-tear of the rotator cuff repair, which...

The lateral femur nail (LFN) or the long Proximal Femur Nail (long PFNA), for example, have recon screws or a blade placed at a 10° angle to the distal locking screw in the transversal plane. If the head–neck implant is inserted properly, the rotation of the femur can be measured with the C-arm taking the hole of the distal locking screw and the posterior condylar tangential line as reference lines. If the posterior condylar tangential line is parallel to the axes of the hole of the distal locking screw, then the rotation or anteversion of the femur is equal to the angle between the head–neck implant and t...

Therefore, we describe a simple surgical procedure for displaced medial clavicle fractures using a small T-shaped plate and multiple tension band sutures. After stabilizing the medial clavicle fracture using a small nonunion for the distal radius, our simple technique for preventing high complication and failure rates is performed easily and effectively, with sufficient tension band sutures.

The vertebral body is particularly vulnerable to compression fracture when its bone mineral density (BMD) falls with age. However, the risk of fracture, and the type of fracture produced, does not depend simply on BMD. Equally important is the state of degeneration of the adjacent intervertebral discs, which largely determines how compressive forces are distributed over the vertebral body. Disc height also influences load-sharing between the vertebral body and neural arch, and hence by Wolff’s Law can influence regional variations in trabecular density within the vertebral body. Vertebral deformity is not entirely attributable to trauma: it can result from the gradual ac...

Here, we report magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of insufficiency femoral intertrochanteric fractures associated with greater trochanteric avulsion fractures treated by internal fixation. We identified 8 patients (3 men and 5 women; age range, 58–92 years old). All cases used internal fixation devices. Operations were performed within 30 min with a total recorded blood loss within 50 ml. We studied MRI findings, hospital stay (number of days), the ambulatory status at hospital discharge, and complications. We were able to identify intertrochanteric fractures using MRI which we could not identify with radiographs. The ave...

The implantation of a protrusio cage can improve the quality of life in these patients by increasing their mobility and reducing pain. The complication rate is comparable with the rates for other surgical methods for metastatic acetabular lesions. For surgeons who are familiar with this implant, it seems to be a good option in treating such cases.

However, the range of variance in positioning of the stem has been reported to be wide. The authors hypothesized that the short stem position influences the femoral offset (FO) and hip abductor muscle strength (AMS) after surgery. The AMS was evaluated in 64 limbs in 32 patients who underwent unilateral THA using a short stem with a normal contralateral hip. The average time of AMS evaluation was 46.3 months postoperatively. The Harris Hip Score (HHS) was used for clinical evaluation. The ratio of the AMS on the reconstructed side to that on the contralateral side was calculated (strength ratio). The valgus angle (VA) of each stem and FO was measured on an anter...

Thus, it is not difficult to understand how, during sports activity, inflammation may first occur at the pseudoarthrotic site and then spread to the adjoining facet joints. This mechanism could cause LBP associated with terminal-stage (pseudoarthrotics) spondylolysis in athletes.

A variety of implants for lumbar TDA are available on the market. One of the main differences between the design types of lumbar TDA implants is whether they use a keel or small spikes/ridges in order to achieve primary stability. The consequences of such design features on load transfer have not been adequately discussed. We report and discuss a case in which new intravertebral bone trabecula have appeared after double-level implantation of a keel-based TDA. We think that the mid- and long-term follow-up radiographs of patients after TDA with keel-design implants should be examined for the pres...
