Objective: The rise in primary and revision surgeries utilizing joint replacement implants suggest the need for more reliable means of promoting implant fixation. Zoledronate-(Zol), cytochalasin-D-(cytoD), and desferrioxamine-(DFO) have been shown to enhance mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation into osteoblasts promoting bone formation. The objective was to determine whether Zol, cytoD, and DFO can improve fixation strength and enhance peri-implant bone volume about intra-medullary femoral implants.
Methods: 48 Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomized into four treatments, saline-control or experimental: Zol-(0.8 μg/μL), cytoD-(0.05 μg/μL), DFO-(0.4 μg/μL). Implants were placed bilaterally in the femoral canals following injection of treatment solution and followed for 28 days. Mechanical push-out testing and micro-CT were our primary evaluations, measuring load to failure and bone volume. Qualitative evaluation included histological assessment. Data was analyzed with a one-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak mean comparison testing.
Results: Significant results included pushout tests showing an increase in maximum energy for Zol (124%) and cytoD (82%); Zol showed an increase in maximum load by 48%; Zol micro-CT showed increase in BV/TV by 35%.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that locally applied Zol and cytoD enhance implant mechanical stability. Bisphosphonates and actin regulators, like cytoD, might be further investigated as a new strategy for improving osseointegration.

Antegrade vs Retrograde Intra-Medullary Nailing in Femoral Shaft Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Arch Bone Jt Surg

Division of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.
Objectives: Femoral shaft fractures are one of the most prevalent fractures found in clinical practice. Numerous operative and non-operative options are readily available for the treatment of such fractures with intra-medullary nailing being the gold standard. To date, no consensus has been reached favoring one approach over the other.

Background: Breast cancer (BrCa) is a predominant malignancy, with metastasis occurring in one in eight patients, nearly half of which target the bone, leading to serious complications such as pain, fractures, and compromised mobility. Structural rigidity, crucial for bone strength, becomes compromised with osteolytic lesions, highlighting the vulnerability and increased fracture risk in affected areas. Historically, two-dimensional radiographs have been employed to predict these fracture risks; however, their limitations in capturing the three-dimensional structural and material changes in bone have raised concerns.

Traditionally, it was believed that both proximal and distal locking are essential for achieving stability during intra-medullary fixation for extra-capsular hip fractures. However, recent literature has presented varying perspectives on the necessity of distal locking. Distal locking plays a significant role in managing hip fractures with uncertainties regarding longitudinal and rotational stability.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined outcomes and factors leading to non-union in patients with femoral shaft segmental fractures treated with a specific surgical technique (reamed antegrade intra-medullary nailing).
- Out of 2,295 patients studied, 51 qualified for analysis, with 73% achieving radiological union over an average of 10.7 months, while 41% suffered from malalignment.
- Notably, longer exposed nail length (over 19.1 mm) was identified as a significant risk factor for non-union, emphasizing that patients should be informed about this risk.
Choice of Entry Point Does Not Affect Clinical and Radiological Outcomes in Antegrade Intra-medullary Nailing in Patients with Shaft of Femur Fracture: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: The choice of entry point, Greater trochanter (GT), or Piriformis entry (PE) for antegrade intramedullary nailing (IMN) of the femur is crucial. This study was performed to compare these two entry points in the patients with shaft of femur fractures regarding intra-operative parameters, radiological and functional outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients underwent GT entry nailing, while 25 patients underwent PE nailing.
