Introduction: The aim of the study was to analyze if the adding of autologous platelet concentrate (APC) to a mixture of local autograft plus tricalcium phosphate and hidroxiapatite (TCP/HA) would improve the fusion rate in posterolateral lumbar fusion.
Materials And Methods: A prospective, controlled, blinded, non-randomized clinical trial was carried out in 107 patients affected by degenerative lumbar pathology. The study group consisted of 67 patients, in which autologous platelet concentration was added to a mixture of autologous local bone graft and TCP/HA.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effectiveness of the PCCP (Percutaneous Compression Plate) and Gamma 3 nail in treating stable trochanteric hip fractures in patients aged 60 and over.
- The trial was prospective and randomized, involving 80 patients, and measured various parameters like surgery time, blood loss, and hospital stay after the procedure.
- Results indicated no significant differences between the two devices in any outcomes, confirming that PCCP is as minimally invasive as the Gamma 3 nail.
