A 14-year-old male patient was successfully treated with the reamer irrigator aspirator for femur intramedullary rod preparation after sustaining right and left closed femur fractures because of an all-terrain vehicle accident. In patients already categorized as high risk for fat embolism syndrome, such as those with bilateral femur fractures, reaming both femora greatly increases the likelihood of this complication. The reamer irrigator aspirator provides an effective tool that potentially mitigates the risk of fat embolism syndrome in pediatric patients with this type of orthopedic trauma.

Complete talar extrusion is a rare injury that is typically caused by high-energy impact. Treatment for a completely extruded talus is limited and has variable outcomes and complications. Tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis is one of the best treatments for restoring stability and reducing pain in the affected limb.

Between July 2021 and February 2024, 6 patients with biopsy-confirmed benign pathologic lesions had mandibular defects reconstructed using a reamer-irrigator-aspirator at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Patients' ages ranged from 34 to 73, 5 of which were males and one female. Primary end points were bony continuity of the mandible, recovery time, and ability of the graft to receive implants.

The Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator (RIA) device represents a safe and efficient method to harvest autologous bone for grafting. However, hardware failure may occur, for example by breakage of the reamer head with metal debris remaining in the intramedullary canal. This case report describes the uncomplicated secondary removal of femoral intramedullary metal debris from a broken RIA reamer head; three weeks after the final surgery of a two-stage Masquelet procedure for the treatment of posttraumatic segmental bone loss at the tibia.

Introduction: The induced membrane technique was initially described by Masquelet in 1986 as a treatment for tibia non-union. It then became an established method in the management of bone defects.A critical bone defect is defined by a gap larger than 25 mm, and so, has a higher probability of non-union.
