Evaluation of Functional and Radiological Outcomes of Long Bone Fractures in Non-union Treated With Nail and Plate With Osteo-Periosteal Flaps.

Objective: To evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of long bone fractures in non-union cases treated with nail and plate with osteo-periosteal flaps.

Methods: This prospective study included 20 patients with non-union long bone fractures treated at Dr. DY Patil Medical College, Pimpri, Pune over a two-year period.

Optimizing Fixation and Biologic Augmentation in Aseptic Femoral Nonunion Management: A Retrospective Case Series.

Nonunion poses significant difficulties for both patients and orthopedic surgeons, often requiring intricate reconstructive surgeries to achieve bone healing and eliminate infections. Surgeons must navigate numerous contributing factors to nonunion, and they also face challenging hardware issues during revision procedures. These issues can include infections, loose or failing hardware, misaligned components, or inappropriate hardware configurations.

Unusual Presentation of Cerebral Fat Embolism Syndrome Post-femur Fracture: A Case Study and Diagnostic Insights.

Cerebral fat embolism syndrome (CFES) is a rare but certainly devastating impediment following long bone fractures. The diagnosis of CFES primarily depends on identifying clinical manifestations like respiratory distress, petechial rash, and neurological symptoms. However, in rare instances, CFES can manifest with atypical or absent clinical features, posing diagnostic challenges.

Minimally Invasive Surgery to Remove a Broken and Retained Epidural Catheter Fragment.

Epidural anaesthesia (EA) has consistently been used for treatments affecting the pelvis, lower limbs, lower abdomen, and perineum; however, it is progressively employed as a single anaesthetic or supplement to general and spinal anaesthesia for a broader range of procedures. The retention of a broken epidural catheter piece is an uncommon but well-known complication. In this report, we present a 30-year-old male with avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip who was referred for total hip replacement (THR).
