We present a 26-year old patient who suffered an accident while at work, his forearm being almost completely separated because of an electrical circular saw. Admitted at our hospital 8 hours after the accident occurred the forearm was temporarily stabilized by means of k-wires and the radial artery and vein as well as the median nerve were anastomosed.

This prospective study compared bifocal acute shortening and relengthening (ASR) with bone transport (BT) in a consecutive series of complex tibial infected non-unions and osteomyelitis, for the reconstruction of segmental defects created at the surgical resection of the infection. Patients with an infected tibial segmental defect (>2 cm) were eligible for inclusion. Patients were allocated to ASR or BT, using a standardized protocol, depending on defect size, the condition of soft tissues and the state of the fibula (intact or divided).

Introduction: A bifocal non-union of shaft of radius associated with ipsilateral non-union shaft of ulna in an adult has not been reported in the literature till date to the best of our knowledge, though few similar cases of fresh fractures have been reported. The case being reported by us is the first of its kind.

Case Presentation: We report a case of bifocal non-union of shaft radius with non-union ipsilateral shaft of ulna in a 48-year-old right handed male along with discussion of alternative treatment options.

International Center for Limb Lengthening, Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics, Sinai Hospital, Baltimore, MD, USA.

Introduction: This study compared bone transport to acute shortening/lengthening in a series of infected tibial segmental defects from 3 to 10cm in length.

Methods: In a retrospective comparative study 42 patients treated for infected tibial non-union with segmental bone loss measuring between 3 and 10cm were included. Group A was treated with bone transport and Group B with acute shortening/lengthening.

Introduction: Conventional wire fixation of Ilizarov rings often fails to provide 90-90 configuration because of vital structures, which is essential for optimum stability. Hybrid assembly with half pins is an alternative. The aim of this study is to compare the results of Hybrid assembly with that of conventional classic circular transfixion wire Ilizarov assembly in 50 cases of infected nonunion of tibia between 1994 and 2003.
