We treated five patients with an infected non-union of the femur and tibia with autologous tibia strut grafts. All patients had bone defects ranging from three to nine centimeters. Three patients suffered for more tha...
Syphilitic periostitis is not a common manifestation of bone involvement in congenital and acquired late syphilis, and it’s rarely seen in secondary syphilis. Syphilis should be considered as a differential diagnosis...
Background: It is generally accepted that there is a spectrum ranging from Osteofibrous Dysplasia (OFD) to Osteofibrous dysplasia-like Adamantinoma (OFD-AD) to “classic” Adamantinoma (AD). However, it is controversi...
Background: Limb preservation in musculoskeletal tumor surgery has largely replaced amputation. Biologic reconstructions are now performed as preferred choice;if not feasible options are “megaprostheses”, allografts...
The sophistication of the implants allows the extension of the surgical indications for tibia plateau fractures. These fractures, which are often comminuted, are caused by a high velocity trauma, making treatment diff...
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of initial bone cutting of the distal femur and the proximal tibia in TKA using an image-free navigation system. Methods: From February 2006 to March 2013...
Gap bone defect is a major challenge. Its treatment has evolved over the years from amputation to limb reconstruction through vascularised graft, distraction osteogenesis and use of customised implants. Availability a...
Background: Internal splintage of open tibial fractures had gained acceptance as a preferred method of early stabilization of such injuries. Patients and Methods: Fifty-five patients had been operated upon. They were ...
