The main aim of this research was to find the mechanism for the failure of the CoCrMo porous nano-composite by characterizing microstructural changes and fractured surface after compression test. For this purpose, porous nano-composites were prepared with the addition of bioactive glass nano-powder to Co-base alloy with 22.5% porosity by the combination of space-holder and powder metallurgy tec...

An 87-year-old woman with a residual dislocated hip suffered a trochanteric fracture on the ipsilateral side. The fracture was treated by open reduction and internal fixation surgery with good results. To treat a proximal femoral fracture of the residual dislocated hip in an elderly patient, the patient’s overall status, pre-fracture ability, hip joint configuration, and fracture pattern should...

objective: to determine the effects of platelet rich plasma prp on healing rates of long bone non-:union: fracture. method: this was a randomized double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial being performed in a 12-month period. we included 75 adult (>18 years) patients suffering from long bone (femur, tibia, humerus and ulna) non-:union: fracture who were randomly assigned to receive 5ml prp...

The fracture of the tibial plafond or pilon fracture is an uncommon but difficult fracture to manage. The purpose of this study was to present the treatment outcomes of pilon fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation with

OBJECTIVE Investigate whether intervention with GH after tibial fracture enhances fracture healing. DESIGN Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 406 patients (93 women, 313 men, age: 18-64 years) with tibial fracture. METHODS Patients were stratified by tibial fracture (open or closed) and allocated to placebo or GH treatment (15, 30 or 60 mug/kg daily, until clinically asse...

INTRODUCTION Periprosthetic patellar fracture after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare complication. Their management can be very challenging with unpredictable results. Literature analysis showed few articles about this complication, but no publication has described the management of open patella fracture around total knee arthroplasty. CASE PRESENTATION We report a unique case of an op...

Periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are gradually increasing, reflecting extended lifespan, osteoporosis, and the increasing proportion of the elderly during the past decade. Supracondylar periprosthetic femoral fracture is a potential complication after TKA. Generally, open reduction and internal fixation are the conventional option for periprosthetic fracture after TK...

Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the second most common fracture in children (16.6%) and the most common elbow fracture. These fractures are classified using the modified Gartland classification. Type III and type IV are considered to be totally displaced. A totally displaced fracture is one of the most difficult fractures to manage and may lead to proceeding to open procedures to achie...

Superior variety of anterior dislocation of the hip is a rare injury. Its occurrence with acetabular fractures has been documented infrequently. We report a case of superior dislocation of the hip with anterior column acetabular fracture. Open reduction of the hip and internal fixation of the fracture was carried out using a twin incision technique. The course to recovery has been uneventful.
