Effect of bone grafting on bone union in exchange nailing for the treatment of femoral shaft nonunions.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of bone grafting on the bone union in exchange nailing (EN) for the treatment of femoral shaft nonunions.

Methods: A total of 26 patients (16 male) were included in this study. The mean age of the patients was 36.

Percutaneous Grafting and Screw Fixation in Patients with Scaphoid Nonunion.

 The aim of the present study was to analyze the clinical and radiological results of patients with type-V cystic scaphoid nonunion who were treated with percutaneous grafting and screw.  A total of 11 patients were treated with a percutaneous bone graft with screw fixation. The criteria for inclusion in the study were a type-V scaphoid nonunion and age > 18 years old.

Closed reduction percutaneous pinning versus open reduction internal fixation in the treatment of intraarticular distal radius fractures: Mean four-year results.

Background: This study was performed to compare the results of closed reduction percutaneous pinning (CRPP) versus open reduction internal fixation with a volar locking plate (ORIF) in the treatment of intraarticular distal radius fractures (IDRF) average four-year follow-up.

Methods: In this study, 43 patients had unilateral intraarticular distal radius fractures (type B and C) treated with CRPP (n=19; 11 males and eight females) and ORIF (n=24; 14 males and 10 females) were retrospectively evaluated. The mean follow-up was 50.

Long-term outcome of medial open reduction in developmental dysplasia of hip.

Introduction: Long-term outcome of medial open reduction (MOR) was examined. We aimed to evaluate the effects of MOR on hip development in developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH).

Methods: One hundred and ten hips of 74 patients that admitted to our clinic were evaluated.

[The results of open reduction through a medial approach for developmental dysplasia of the hip in children above 18 months of age].

Objectives: Open reduction through a medial approach for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip has been advocated in children younger than 18 months of age. In this study, we evaluated the results of this technique in children above 18 months of age.

Methods: A retrospective evaluation of 34 hips (22 patients; 16 girls, 6 boys) was made, whose treatment was performed using open reduction through a medial approach between 1987 and 1997.
