Radiological and functional outcomes of modified Metaizeau technique in displaced radial neck fractures.

The management of displaced radial neck fractures in children is still a controversial topic. The objective of this study is to examine the outcomes of modified Metaizeau technique in the children with displaced radius neck fractures. The retrospective study included 15 children with displaced radial neck fracture with an angulation of more than 30° who were managed with the use of leverage technique by mosquito clamps and internal fixation with elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN).

Epidermal growth factor or platelet-rich plasma combined with induced membrane technique in the treatment of segmental femur defects: an experimental study.

Objective: Extensive bone defects remain a therapeutic challenge necessitating alternative surgical approaches with better outcomes. Can increase the effectiveness of PRP or EGF treatment in surgical treatment of large bone defects with Masquelet technique? Aim of this study examined potential therapeutic benefits of the Masquelet technique with induced membranes in combination with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or epidermal growth factor (EGF) in a rat model of segmental femur defect.

Methods: Three groups each consisting of 20 Sprague-Dawley rats were defined as follows: EGF group, PRP group, and control group.

Temporary Fixation of Reduction with Fabric Adhesive Bandage in the Surgical Treatment of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures.

: Supracondylar humerus fractures are common in children andcan be surgically treated. However, the general surgical procedures involving reduction andfixation might lead to reduction loss, failure to direct the Kirschner (K)-wire toward the desiredposition, prolonged surgery, or chondral damage. This study aimed to show that temporaryfixation of closed reduction with a fabric adhesive bandage in pediatric supracondylar humerusfractures could maintain reduction so that surgical treatment can be easily performed by a singlephysician.
