Bone Fracture Acute Phase Response—A Unifying Theory of Fracture Repair: Clinical and Scientific Implications
(2018-12-29)
Bone fractures create five problems that must be resolved: bleeding, risk of infection, hypoxia, disproportionate strain, and inability to bear weight. There have been enormous advancements in our understanding of the ...
Autologous Chondrocyte Grafting Promotes Bone Formation in the Posterolateral Spine
(2018-03-23)
Pseudarthrosis following spinal fusion remains problematic despite modern surgical and grafting techniques. In surgical spinal fusion, new bone forms via intramembranous and endochondral ossification, with endochondral ...
Posttraumatic Proximal Radioulnar Synostosis after Closed Reduction for a Radial Neck and Olecranon Fracture
(2018-02-19)
Posttraumatic proximal radioulnar synostosis (PPRUS) is a severe complication of radial head and neck fractures known to occur after severe injury or operative fixation. Cases of PPRUS occurring after minimally displaced, ...
Unexpected Timely Fracture Union in Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 Deficient Mice
(2018-05-31)
Immediately following a fracture, a fibrin laden hematoma is formed to prevent bleeding and infection. Subsequently, the organized removal of fibrin, via the protease plasmin, is essential to permit fracture repair through ...
Surgical Technique for Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning of Pediatric Lateral Humeral Condyle Fractures
(2018-09-10)
Lateral condyle fractures are intra-articular injuries of the distal humerus and are the second most common elbow fracture in pediatric patients. When these fractures involve significant displacement, anatomic reduction ...
Trochanteric-sparing Proximal Femoral Resection for Arthritic Spastic Hips
(2018)
Progressive hip subluxation or dislocation leading to degenerative disease, in neuromuscular disease, is a significant cause of morbidity to the patient and burden to the caretaker. Surgical salvage procedures have ...
Novel Preclinical Murine Model of Trauma-Induced Elbow Stiffness
(2018-09-18)
Peri-articular injury may result in functional deficits and pain. In particular, post-traumatic elbow stiffness is a debilitating condition, precluding patients from performing activities of daily living. As such, clinicians ...
