Is low-intensity pulsed ultrasound effective in treatment of tibial nonunion?
Abstract: Background: Nonunions have been mainly treated with invasive methods by adequate mechanical stability and provision of biological environment leading to bone healing rate of 68%-96%, however, with inherent risks and complications. As an alternative to surgical interventions, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), a biophysical method has been emerged. We aimed to prospectively compare the clinical and functional outcomes between two groups treated with LIPUS and capacitively coupled electric fields (CCEFs) for …

Clinical study on dual plating for delayed unions and nonunions of distal 1/3 and diaphyseal-metaphyseal transition of humerus
Abstract: Background: The best treatment for delayed union and non-union at distal 1/3 and metaphyseal-diaphyseal transition of humerus is not well established. We collected retrospective and prospective outcomes data for patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation for delayed union and non-union of distal 1/3 and metaphyseal-diaphyseal transition of humerus with use of conventional mono-lateral or dual plating. Methods and Material: Over a 2-year period, 35 patients underwent open reduction and …

Is Bone Graft Possible without Limit in Length for Nonunion of Ulna Alone?
Abstract: Background: When either the radius or ulna is united, and the other fails to heal, bone graft and bridge plating can be a choice to treat nonunion of the radius or ulna alone. The length of the bone used to fill the bony defect, however, has not yet been found in terms of biomechanics or biology for healing. The purpose of this study was to find the length of bone …

Treatment of open comminuted fracture of the cruris and infectious nonunion by ablating focuses and prolonging bones
Abstract: AbstractThe crural fracture occupies widely accompanying by trauma and if the bone should be occupied traumatic osteomyelitis, the treatment is very difficult. In general, because inflammatory disappear and the wound closed, when the therapy of facture take place, so the day of treatment is delaying and occupying ununion of bone by secondary infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the method of ablating focuses and prolonging bones in …

Residual Nonunion in a Case of Two and-a-half Year Old Child Congenital Pseudarthrosis of Ipsilateral Tibia and Fibula Treated by Intramedullary Fixation with K-Wire and Allogenic Cancellous Strut Graft: A Case Report
Abstract: The pseudarthrosis usually develops during the first two years of life; however, there are reports of cases in which fractures developed before birth and reports of late-onset pseudarthrosis. There is a strong association between congenital pseudarthrosis (CPT) and Type I neurofibromatosis. CPT develops in about 5.7% of patients with NF-I and 40% of patients with pseudarthrosis were found to have NF-I. Main pathology is hyperplasia of fibroblasts with the formation …
