Tamp filling processes are widely used for the filling of powders into hard gelatin capsules, whereby capsule fill weight is controlled by the formation of a loosely packed plug of material that is dispensed into the capsule shell. To rationally design formulations for tamp filling processes the formulator must have an intimate knowledge of the synergy between machine parameters and powder properties and the corresponding effect on product quality. However, despite ubiquitous use throughout the pharmaceutical industry, relatively little is understood about the design of powders for tamp filling processes. The aim of the following review is to summarize the published literature to date from a formulation design perspective and to provide a framework for future scientific research.

Reconstructive Allograft Preparation for Long Bone Intercalary Segments After Tumor Resections: Toronto Sarcoma Protocol.

Background: The Reconstructive Allograft Preparation by Toronto Sarcoma (RAPTORS) protocol is reliable and reproducible without substantially adding to the surgical reconstruction time or cost. Our technique includes clearance of debris, lavage of the medullary canal, pressurized filling of the medullary canal with antibiotic-laden cement for its mechanical and antimicrobial properties, and insertion of cancellous autograft at the allograft-host junctional ends prior to dual-plate compression to fix the allograft into the defect. Our experience with large intercalary allograft reconstruction has demonstrated high rates of long-term success and addresses the most common causes of large allograft failure (infection, fracture, and nonunion), as shown in our long-term outcome study.

The most common type of fracture of the lateral tibial plateau is the Schatzker type II split-depressed fracture. Minimally invasive surgery using balloon reduction appears to be very promising compared to the gold standard using a bone tamp. This surgery aims to have the best reduction and stabilization to benefit from an early passive and active rehabilitation to avoid stiffening and muscle wasting.

Depressed articular fractures of tibial plateau are treated by elevation of the fracture fragments to maintain the articular congruity and filling the void with any bone substitutes, followed by screw or plate fixation. This elevation of the fragments to maintain articular congruity poses a surgical challenge even in experienced hands. Many techniques have been described for the same, as the use of the metallic-bone-tamps, elevators and more recently inflatable-balloon-tamps.

Introduction: The treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures is still complex and controversial. Although open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is favored by many authors, several percutaneous techniques have been introduced to reduce complications and to obtain satisfactory clinical and radiological results. Among these percutaneous treatments, balloon reduction and bone graft augmentation is gaining an increasing popularity.

Few cases in which open reduction and internal fixation was performed for displaced pisiform fractures have been reported. We present a new surgical technique for the treatment of depressed intra-articular pisiform fractures. First, the depressed fragment was reduced by pushing the bone tamp.
