Results of pronator quadratus pedicle bone graft as primary procedure for treatment of scaphoid nonunion
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Pedicle bone graft as primary procedure for treatment of scaphoid nonunion. Pedicle bone graft use in delayed and nonunion of fractures and avascular necrosis scaphoid fracture. The most common indications for Pedicle bone graft have been for scaphoid nonunion, lunatomalacia (Kienböck's disease), and osteonecrosis of the scaphoid (Preiser's disease). Advantages over non vascularized bone graft have been established. Pedicle bone graft provide improved blood flow, osteocyte preservation, and accelerated healing rates. Local pedicle VBGs are the most commonly used methods. They are technically less demanding than are free VBGs and are associated with less morbidity. In managing osteonecrosis, most surgeons would agree that VBG should be reserved for scaphoid nonunion with an intact cartilaginous shell and no collapse. In treating scaphoid pathology, indications for pedicle bone graft include fractures/nonunions with proximal pole avascular necrosis and/or small proximal pole fragments.

Evaluation of the results of arthroscopic double row rotator cuff repair of isolated lesions
Background: Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common soft tissue injuries. The incidence of full thickness tears of the rotators cuff ranges from 5% to 40% of all cuff tears, and increasing in frequency with age. Th...
An unusual presentation of tubercular dactylitis with subluxation of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint in an adult
Introduction: Tuberculosis rarely affects the bones of the hand and feet. This entity is described as tubercular dactylitis (TB dactylitis). It affects children. TB dactylitis in an otherwise healthy adult is extremely r...
Prospective comparative study of different modalities of distal femoral fracture management
Introduction: Fractures of distal femur contribute 4 % of all femoral factures and they present a complex problem. The mechanism of injury in most distal femoral fractures is thought to be axial loading with varus/valgus...
Comparison of results of hemireplacement arthroplasty versus total hip arthroplasty for displaced fracture of neck of femur in active elderly patients: Study of 65 patients
65 patients were enrolled for the study. Randomization was done between the Total Hip Arthroplasty and Hemiarthroplasty. 48 patients could be followed up for a minimum period of 6 months. Mean age was 59.19 years (55-70)...
Study to compare the results of osteosynthesis of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures in elderly osteoporotic patients versus coxafemoral bypass by cemented bipolar prosthesis
Introduction: Intertrochanteric fractures constitute about 45% of all hip fractures. Dynamic hip screw and plate (DHS) and Proximal femoral nail are commonly used for osteosynthesis. However, there are many studies which...
