Vascularized bone grafts for upper limb reconstruction: Defects at the distal radius, wrist, and hand
(2010)
Vascularized bone grafts have been successfully applied for the reconstruction of bone defects at the forearm, distal radius, carpus, and hand. Vascularized bone grafts are most commonly used in revision cases in which ...
Low-molecular-weight heparin for prevention of thrombosis: Inverted role
(2007)
BACKGROUND: Heparin induced thrombosis (HIT) after low-molecular-weight (LMWH) administration for thrombosis prevention is a limb and life threatening condition. METHODS: Two previously healthy individuals, with nonviable ...
Vascularized bone grafts from the palmar radius for the treatment of waist nonunions of the scaphoid
(2006)
Purpose: With their intrinsic vascularity vascularized bone grafts provide an alternative solution to the challenging problem of scaphoid nonunions. The union rate (after imaging evaluation including magnetic resonance ...
Vascularized periosteal flaps of distal forearm and hand
(2005)
Background: Vascularized periosteal flaps (VPFs) are flexible osteogenic flaps, suitable for the reconstruction of small skeletal defects. Pedicled VPFs, harvested near the recipient site, minimize donor-site morbidity and ...
RhBMP-7 for the Treatment of nonunion of fractures of long bones
(2015)
We report the outcome of 84 nonunions involving long bones which were treated with rhBMP-7, in 84 patients (60 men: 24 women) with a mean age 46 years (18 to 81) between 2003 and 2011. The patients had undergone a mean of ...
Autologous (non-vascularised) fibular grafting with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-7 for the treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis
(2014)
This preliminary study evaluates a combination of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 and non-vascularised autologous fibular grafting (AFG) for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. BMP-7/AFG combination was ...
Factors affecting the quality of life after total knee arthroplasties: a prospective study
(2012)
Background: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the self-reported outcomes in the first year after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to determine factors influencing the quality of life (QoL) 6 weeks, 3, 6, ...
Computer-assisted evaluation of Mandibular Cortical Width (MCW) index as an indicator of osteoporosis
(2014)
Background: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of mandibular cortical width (MCW) as an indicator of the presence of osteoporosis. Materials and methods: The study included 343 women between 45-75 years of age. After informed ...
Scaphoid nonunions: Management with vascularized bone grafts from the distal radius: A clinical and functional outcome study
(2007)
Background: Scaphoid nonunions remain controversial with regard to optimal management, especially for those located at the proximal third. In this study, the authors aim to assess the union rate, avascular proximal pole ...
Early results of a novel technique using multiple small tantalum pegs for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head A CASE SERIES INVOLVING 26 HIPS
(2012)
The introduction of a trabecular tantalum rod has been proposed for the management of early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head but serves as a single-point of support of the necrotic lesion. We describe a technique ...
