Cerclage wire is widely used in the treatment of fracture internal fixation and is shown effective in clinic. But a report by S.L. has pointed that the wire loop delayed the growth of bone. We have established a radius fracture model to study the possible detrimental effects of cerclage wire on fracture healing and the potential mechanism. By high-resolution CT analysis cerclage wire is found to delay fracture healing, by histological assessment cerclage wire is found to extended the time of hematoma and the marrow cavity appearing, by confocal microscopy cerclage wire decreased the content of calcium and the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and by RT-PCR analysis cerclage wire decreased the mRNA levels of bone sialoprotein and ALP. These results suggest that the cerclage wire near the elbow delayed the fracture healing in radius fracture models.

Finite element analysis of a novel patellar fracture fixation method.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
December 2024
The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Heilongjiang, China.
Background: Patellar fractures present challenges in treatment, with traditional methods often leading to complications such as loss of reduction and implant failure. This study aimed to compare a novel suture fixation technique with the traditional tension band method using finite element analysis.
Methods: CT images of a healthy 35-year-old male were used to construct 3D patellar models.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the long-term results of THA patients who received a cementless short stem regarding clinical outcomes, bone changes, complications, and incidence of femoral revision.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation of the first 100 THA employing a type 2B cementless stem (Mini hip stem, Corin, Cirencester, United Kingdom) by the same surgeon at one institution. We only include patients with 18 years or more, and with a minimum follow up of 8 years.
"Intra-Articular Intrusion of Broken Patella Cerclage Wire and the Importance of Higher Imaging in Its Rescue" - A Case Report.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, India.
Introduction: In this case report, we would like to discuss about a 51-year-old gentleman, who had underwent patella tension band wiring for transverse patella fracture 3 years ago and presented with a painful knee with broken cerclage wire with a fragment migrating into the joint.
Case Report: The aim of the study was to highlight the importance of higher imaging (Computed tomography) in deciding whether the retrieval of the fragment can be attempted through a minimally invasive arthroscopic technique.
Result: CT of the knee joint with 3D reconstruction was done and it showed the broken migrated fragment to be intra-articular and intracapsular.

Orthopedic Department, Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, 215004, China.
Objective: To evaluate intraoperative and early postoperative clinical outcomes using the "tension band wiring first technique" to reduce C type patellar fractures.
Methods: Sixty-four patients with C type fractures were enrolled in this study. Thirty-four patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgeries using the traditional reduction technique by pointed clamps (TRT group).

Toronto Metropolitan University, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Canada. Electronic address:
Adhesive-augmented sternal fixation (AASF) has been investigated as an alternative to the clinical standard of cerclage wires; however, previous studies have focused on a full adhesive layer across the sternal midline, which acts as a barrier to bone healing. This study used a human cadaveric model to investigate if partial coverage AASF used in combination with wired fixation could provide adequate stability. Median sternotomies were performed on fifteen human cadaveric sterna.
