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 …
