Posterolateral fracture fragments in tibial plateau fractures have proven to be particularly difficult to reduce and adequately repair internally through anterior or anterolateral approaches, although they are safer. Posterior and posterolateral approaches offer a direct approach for the reduction and fixation of plates, but they have several limitations. Here, we have proposed a modified anterolateral approach, which ensures a safe and effective technique for the reduction and fixation of poste

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the healing rate and time to union of atypical subtrochanteric fractures treated with cephalomedullary nailing. DESIGN: Retrospective review, descriptive, and analytic study. SETTING: Six level 1 trauma centers. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS: The study included 42 patients with 48 displaced, atypical, bisphosphonate-associated subtrochanteric femur fractures who underwent surgical intervention. INTERVENTION: Cephalomedullary femur nailing. MAIN OUTC

Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

The aim of this study was to introduce various applications of miniplate augmented tension-band wiring (TBW) for comminuted patella fractures and to evaluate the clinical outcomes. Comminuted articular patella fractures were managed with anterior cortical miniplate fixation with a TBW technique from January 2014 to January 2016. The primary end point was radiographic union. Secondary end points were complications related to the procedure. Functional outcomes including range of motion were also e

In the current study, we fabricated tannic acid-alendronate (TA-ALN) nanocomplexes (NPXs) via self-assembly. These TA-ALNs were characterized by dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The TA-ALNs were evaluated for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenesis-accelerating abilities in osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3-E1 cells). All TA-ALNs displayed nano-sized beads that were circular in form. Treatment with TA-ALN (1:0.1) efficiently

Pedicle screw-only constructs provide good stability allowing better correction and maintenance of coronal and lumbar deformities, obtaining good sitting balance, and mobilizing patients early after surgery. Longer follow-up is required to adequately comment on the need for pelvic stabilization.

The authors' institution utilizes multi-staged induced membrane technique protocol based on post-debridement culture in treating patients with critical-sized bone defect in lower extremity due to infected nonunion or post-traumatic osteomyelitis. This study aimed to evaluate the success rate of this limb reconstruction method and which risk factors are associated with recurrence of infection. 140 patients were treated with multi-staged induced membrane technique from 2013 to 2018 and followed up

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the volumetric changes of grafted bone over time when using the induced membrane technique. This study investigates the volumetric changes of bone graft using serial computed tomographic (CT) scans following the induced membrane technique. METHODS: Patients with critical-sized bone defects had serial CT scans after undergoing bone-grafting using the induced membrane technique. CT scans to evaluate the volume of bone graft were obtained immediately postoperativel

BACKGROUND: Iliac crest is the most preferred autogenous bone graft harvesting donor site while it has sorts of complications like prolonged pain, hematoma, and fracture. Harvesting cancellous bone from proximal tibia is also increasingly being used because of lower complications and less donor site pain. However, there are lack of studies to compare these two donor sites in detail. Thus, we proposed to investigate the available amount of autogenous bone graft from the proximal tibia. METHODS: F
