Bone Defect Case Studies

INTRODUCTION
Segmental bone defects can occur due to various etiologies and are complex tiring problem to deal with, for the surgeon, as well as for the patient. Bone defects can occur due to trauma, bone infection, congenital defects, excision of malignant tumors. Due to considerable long term morbidity, historically, amputation was the preferred treatment. Limb salvage has been tried with the use of bone grafts, bone transport and acute limb shortening. Vascularised bone grafting is technically demanding.(1,2) Traditional bone grafting techniques are limited by uncontrollable graft resorption. Ilizarov technique has been associated with adjacent joint stiffness and certain other complications.(3,4) In 1986, French surgeon A.C. Masquelet conceived …show more content…

Approximately after 6 weeks, depending upon soft tissue condition, second stage was undertaken. Cancellous autograft was harvested from iliac crest. If the bone defect was too large allograft was mixed, making upto 33% of volume of the graft. In a few cases, cortical sliver from the iliac crest were also mixed with the graft. The bone defect was approached from the previous incision and careful dissection performed down to the defect. Careful incision was given over the induced biomembrane. The cement spacer was removed enbloc or in a piecemeal fashion. Care is taken to not to put any stress on the fixation construct. Biomembrane is irrigated to remove any debris. Then entire void was filled with the graft, care taken not to overstuff the void as this will make closure of biomembrane difficult. The biomembrane was repaired with absorbable vicryl sutures if possible, otherwise the soft tissue over it was repaired making the membrane fall back into place covering the graft completely. Watertight fascial closure was done, followed by skin closure using nylon.
Post operative protocol. Patients were allowed immediate passive and active motion and non-weight bearing mobilisation. Toe touch weight bearing was started after 12 weeks of second stage. Full weight bearing was allowed after obtaining radiological union. A few patients in the study had multiple traumas. For such patients, mobilisation and weight bearing were delayed as required. But all efforts were aimed at aggressive physiotherapy and early

This can predict if surgery is needed, and depends if it is an isolated injury or not. If its ruled that it is a grade I or II isolated injury, non-surgical treatment, involving bracing and controlled stress will be the course of action. If a grade III injury is determined, it can be treated either way, but also

Short-term outcomes of having patella bone graft are being able to return to sport faster, increases in a healing ability, and a better range of motion. Some long-term outcomes are an increase in performance and having more stability in the knee. With pros of having this reconstruction come cons. The cons of having this type of graft are that the surgeon could mismatch the tunnels. An incorrect tunnel placement results in the graft protruding from the tibia tunnel after proper placement within the femoral tunnel.

There were no significant differences in the mean stay in the hospital or in the ICU. The fractures that were most often missed were those of the cuboid or the metarsalia. The highest risk factor for a delayed diagnosis was a fracture already diagnosed on the same foot. In 52.4% of the delayed diagnosed fractures, an operative therapy was necessary. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the clinical results.”

The most important parallel between the Greek myth of Jason and Medea and Jesmyn Ward’s novel, Salvage the Bones, is the parallel connection and comparison between Medea, Esch, and China relating to their pregnancies. The comparison between these three characters is integral to the novel because it allows us to analyze Esch in a new light, as she transforms from an abused and objectified girl into a potentially powerful woman who has more control in her life. As Skeetah argues that China’s pregnancy had only made her stronger, “He glances at [Esch], too” (96). Skeetah’s glance towards Esch as he describes the power China has gained from giving birth illustrates a connection between Esch and China, and in turn Medea, as all three characters

This procedure may be done repeatedly before the hole is closed. • Surgery. This is done if a patch does not lead to proper healing. The most common procedure is tympanoplasty, where the surgeon places a graft of your own tissue on the hole of the eardrum.

Bone grafts Even normal overlying soft tissues cannot hide a deficient or defective skeleton and thus it is imperative to restore the craniofacial skeleton in major facial clefts. In cases with minor bony deficits that do not displace key facial landmarks, bone grafts suffice. When bone grafts are used to bridge a critical-size bone defect, they are expected to become incorporated into the bed. Incorporation of the bone graft in the recipient site involves two essential steps: first is the bony union between the edges of the graft to the edges of native bone segments, and second is graft remodeling, or gradual resorption of the graft material itself, concomitant with its replacement by new bone.89 Bone grafting can be performed at any age and

Introduction Total hip arthroplasty (total hip replacement) is an orthopedic procedure that involves the surgical removal of the head and proximal neck of the femur and removal of the acetabular cartilage and subchondral bone – the damaged bone and cartilage is removed and replaced with prosthetic components. For successful results, the total hip arthroplasty components must be secured firmly to the bone, either with polymethylmethacrylate cement or, in more recent uncemented designs, by bony ingrowth into a porous coating on the implant, resulting in "biologic" fixation. Total hip arthroplasty was first introduced in the United States in 1969 and is currently one of the most widely performed procedures in orthopedic practice and has been shown to be successful in eliminating pain and restoring function in hips with diseases such as osteoarthritis (Siopack & Jergesen, 1995). There are two types of
