Comparative analysis of cancellous graft and cortico-cancellous graft in osteosynthesis of scaphoid pseudoarthrosis with plate.

Introduction: Scaphoid is the most fractured carpal bone, with a 5-10% nonunion rate. Treatment challenges include choosing the implant and graft that best corrects humpback deformity and carpal malalignment with higher chances of bony healing.

Objective: Compare cortico-cancellous and cancellous grafts between two groups of patients treating scaphoid nonunion with locking plates using autologous bone graft and evaluate bone healing rates and radiographic, tomographic, and functional parameters before and after surgery.

Comparative analysis of scaphoid nonunion treatment with screw fixation and angular stable plate.

Introduction: Scaphoid fractures represent 5-10% of nonunion rate and the treatment options consist of an open reduction with correction of deformity, restoration of the scaphoid length with autologous wedge grafting and fixation. However, there is still no consensus in the literature on the best fixation method. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to compare plate fixation and screw fixation in treating scaphoid nonunion with humpback deformity and carpal instability.

PROFILE OF PATIENTS WITH OSTEOPOROTIC FRACTURES AND FACTORS THAT DECREASE PREVENTION.

Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological profile of patients with osteoporotic fractures compared to patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and identify factors that diminish adherence to secondary prevention.

Methods: A total of 108 patients with osteoporotic fractures (OF) were compared to 86 patients with OA.

Results: Patients in the OF group were older (p < 0.
