A 3-year-old boy with osteogenesis imperfecta had hyperplastic callus formation in the right femur, without preceding trauma or fracture. Radiologically, this bony mass in the femoral shaft mimicked osteosarcoma. Open biopsy showed that it was benign and suggested hyperplastic callus formation. Seven months after the biopsy, the hyperplastic callus had practically vanished. A similar process developed in the left femur 1 year later, also without fracture.

Suture Button Fixation in Shoulder Instability Surgery to Achieve Bone Healing: A Critical Analysis Review.

» Suture button fixation has emerged as an effective surgical construct in arthroscopic and open Latarjet and anterior glenoid reconstruction with free autograft bone with high rates of bone block healing.» Biomechanical data suggest that screw and suture button mechanical fixation constructs provide similar load to failure and stability for the Latarjet procedure.» Preliminary bone healing models have identified that flexible fixation may exhibit a higher degree of bone callus maturation, whereas rigid fixation results in excessive callus hyperplasia» Mechanical tensioner use provides consistent tensioning of suture button constructs and improves bone-to-bone healing rates when used for anterior glenoid reconstruction surgery.

Background: The biomechanical environment created by suture-button fixation Latarjet is conducive to the healing and shaping of the transplanted coracoid, but its mechanism remains unclear. The latest research has found that the absence of stem cell chemokine (CXCL12) impeded bone regeneration in Sonic Hedgehog (SHH)-deficient animals. However, whether the biomechanical environment affects SHH and CXCL12 function has not been studied.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type V is the second most common form of OI, distinguished by hyperplastic callus formation and calcification of the interosseous membranes, in addition to the bone fragility. It is caused by a recurrent, dominant pathogenic variant (c.-14C>T) in interferon-induced transmembrane protein 5 (IFITM5).

Article Synopsis
- Growth factors play a vital role in bone healing during fracture repair by promoting the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and bone tissue (osteogenesis) through callus formation.
- Vascular endothelial growth factor is significant because it helps create new blood vessels and allows certain cells to invade soft callus, which is critical for healing.
- This report describes a unique case of POEMS syndrome, which typically hasn't been associated with excessive callus formation, showing unusual and abundant callus at fracture sites.
A Method to Evaluate the Reduction Difficulty of Atlantoaxial Dislocation Based on Computed Tomography Quantitative Analysis.
World Neurosurg
May 2024
Department of Orthopedics, General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command, Guangzhou, China.
Background: To evaluate the difficulty of reduction of congenital atlantoaxial dislocation with or without os odontoideum or basilar invagination based on computed tomography (CT) quantitative analysis.
Methods: From March 2018 to December 2022, the CT features of 108 patients with atlantoaxial dislocation with or without os odontoideum or basilar invagination were analyzed. Quantitative scores were defined according to imaging features, including sloping of the lateral mass; osteophyte between the lateral mass joint; ball-and-socket deformity of the lateral mass joint; vertical interlocking of the lateral mass joint; callus between the lateral mass joint; and atlanto-odontoid joint hyperplasia, blocking, or fusion.
