Comparative meta-analysis on the various vascularized bone flaps used for the treatment of scaphoid nonunion
(2017)We did a meta-analysis of the literature in order to clarify which of the vascularized bone flaps (VBF) used for scaphoid non-union treatment has the best outcome with regard to various parameters. We analyzed 54 articles ... -
The effect of static compression on the progression of bone healing. An experimental study on rabbits
(2018)We aimed to evaluate the effect of static compression on the progression of mid-diaphyseal bone healing. For this purpose, we used thirty-six New Zealand rabbits that were submitted to iatrogenic fracture of the tibial ... -
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound for bone healing: An overview
(2006)Low-intensity ultrasound is a biophysical form of intervention in the fracture-repair process, which through several mechanisms accelerates healing of fresh fractures and enhances callus formation in delayed unions and ... -
Management of scaphoid nonunions with vascularized bone grafts from the distal radius: mid- to long-term follow-up
(2017)Scaphoid nonunion represents a challenging problem that leads to disability if neglected. Vascularized bone grafts are proposed to augment the local biology and increase the likelihood of union but long-term outcomes are ... -
MR angiogram confirms sustained blood flow in 1,2 ICSR artery of vascularized bone grafting in scaphoid nonunion treatment
(2019)Purpose: To evaluate the functioning of 1,2 intercompartmental supraretinacular artery (ICSRA) in vascularized bone grafting (VBG) of scaphoid nonunions with avascular necrosis of proximal pole. Materials and methods: ... -
A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study of Romosozumab for the Treatment of Hip Fractures
(2020)Background:Romosozumab is a bone-forming antibody that increases bone formation and decreases bone resorption. We conducted a double-blinded, randomized, phase-2, dose-finding trial to evaluate the effect of romosozumab ... -
Romosozumab in Skeletally Mature Adults with a Fresh Unilateral Tibial Diaphyseal Fracture: A Randomized Phase-2 Study
(2020)BACKGROUND: Romosozumab is an antibody that binds and inhibits sclerostin, thereby increasing bone formation and decreasing bone resorption. A double-blinded, randomized, phase-2, dose-finding trial was performed to evaluate ... -
Scaphoid nonunions in adolescents: Treatment with vascularized bone grafts
(2019)Introduction: Scaphoid nonunions (SN) are rare in adolescents. The use of vascularized bone grafts (VBG) from the distal radius as an alternative to conventional grafting for the treatment of established SN in adolescents ... -
Searching for the ‘winner’ hip fracture patient: the effect of modifiable and non-modifiable factors on clinical outcomes following hip fracture surgery
(2021)Background: Various factors, other than the quality of surgery, may influence clinical outcomes of hip fracture patients. We aimed to evaluate the relative impact of several factors on functional outcome, quality of life, ... -
Ultrasonic monitoring of bone fracture healing
(2008)Quantitative ultrasound has attracted significant interest in the evaluation of bone fracture healing. Animal and clinical studies have demonstrated that the propagation velocity across fractured bones can be used as an ... -
Vascularised bone grafts for the management of non-union
(2006)Non-union of the long bones may have severe consequences, particularly when combined with other post-traumatic sequelae, such as tendon adhesions, reflex sympathetic dystrophy and infection, among others. In these cases, ...
