[Results of operative treatment thoraco-lumbar fractures by posterior lumbar interbody fusion, Daniaux reconstruction or combination of both methods].

The aim of the study was to compare clinical and radiological results of treatment thoraco-lumbar spine fractures by short segment transpedicular stabilization accompanied by three techniques of reconstruction: posterior lumbar interbody fusion, vertebral body Daniaux reconstruction and combination of both methods. AO system was used to classify the fractures. Frankel's grade system was used for assessment of neurological deficit on admission and subsequently in the postoperative and follow-up period.

Bipolar cemented hip hemiarthroplasty in patients with femoral neck fracture who are on hemodialysis is associated with risk of stem migration.

Background And Purpose: Femoral neck fractures are considerably more common in patients on hemodialysis than in the general population. We determined the outcome of bipolar hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture in patients with long-term hemodialysis and compared it with that of a matched-paired group of patients with intact renal function.

Methods: We analyzed 26 bipolar hemiarthroplasties in 23 hemodialysed patients with a mean age of 56 (41-78) years who were followed for mean 3.

Long-term outcome of scaphoid nonunion treated by the Matti-Russe operation.

Background. This article presents the results of scaphoid non-union treatment using the Matti-Russe operation. The long-term outcome was compared in patients with bone union and patients with persistent nonunion.

Results of operative treatment for ulnar neuropathy in patients with a history of fracture of the lateral part of the humeral condyle in childhood.

Background: Fractures of the lateral part of the humeral condyle in childhood very often go undetected and are treated incorrectly, giving rise to numerous late complications. The study evaluated the outcomes of treatment of ulnar neuropathy secondary to a fracture of the lateral part of the humeral condyle in childhood.

Material And Methods: The study enrolled 12 patients aged 28-58 who had suffered fractures of the elbow at between 2 and 14 years of age.

[Intramedullary locked nailing in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures].

Introduction: The aim of the study is evaluation of results of operative treatment the proximal femoral fractures with intramedullary locked nailing.

Material And Method: In years 1996-2004 44 patients were treated because of proximal femoral fractures with closed reduction and stabilization with intramedullary locked nailing. There were 15 women and 29 men in average age 60 years (18-95 years).

[Treatment of tibial shaft fractures by intramedullary locking nailing].

Authors analyzed consecutive series of 56 tibial shaft fractures (43 men and 13 women) treated by intramedullary locking nails in years 1993-2004. Age of patients ranged from 17 to 83 years (mean 38 years). The final result was analyzed in 51 patients (91%).

[Femoral neck fractures in hemodialysis patients].

Femoral neck fractures are important causes of morbidity and mortality. Patients with end-stage renal diseases are 4,4-fold more likely to sustain a hip fracture that the general population. We present our own experience with treatment of femoral neck fractures in hemodialysis patients.
