Article Synopsis
- * Treatment involves achieving a proper joint alignment and stability, but complete loss of bone can complicate this process, leading to joint flexion issues and finger overlap.
- * A new solution called the hemi-hamate osteochondral graft, a modified form of traditional treatment, is introduced for reconstructing severe bone loss at the articular surface, focusing on restoring finger function.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the results of treatment of the nonunion of long bones using nonvascularized iliac crest grafts (ICGs) or vascularized bone grafts (VBGs), such as medial femoral condyle corticoperiosteal flaps (MFCFs) and fibula flaps (FFs). Although some studies have examined the results of these techniques, there are no reports that compare these treatments and perform a multifactorial analysis. The study retrospectively examined 28 patients comprising 9 women and 19 men with an average age of 49.

In this retrospective study, 141 patients (143 knees) operated in the period 2008 to 2015 met the above-mentioned criteria and were invited to a medical examination including X-rays. A total of 121 knees were available for the study (44 in the group without stems and 77 in the group with stems).

The hypothesis of our study is that corticoperiosteal flap could be an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of upper limb non-infected nonunions, evaluating radiographic and clinical outcome.
Methods: We enrolled 14 patients who underwent vascularized medial femoral condyle corticoperiosteal free flaps from January 2011 to December 2014.
