Bone transport with magnetic intramedullary nails in long bone defects.
BACKGROUND: This study describes the outcomes of internal bone transport with magnetic nails in five cases of traumatic segmental femoral bone defects. METHODS: Five patients with open fracture of the femur and diaphyseal bone...
Management of post-traumatic femoral defects with a monorail external fixator over an intramedullary nail.
PURPOSE: The management of limb-length discrepancy secondary to traumatic femoral bone loss poses a unique challenge for surgeons. The Ilizarov technique is popular, but is associated with long external fixator time and many...
Ankle fusion with tibiotalocalcaneal retrograde nail for fragility ankle fractures
PURPOSE: Fragility ankles fractures in the geriatric population are challenging to manage, due to fracture instability, soft tissue compromise, and patient co-morbidities. Traditional management options include open reduction...
