Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been suggested as an emerging treatment for bone defects. However, whether PRP could enhance the therapeutic efficacy of autologous bone grafting for long bone delayed union or non-union remains unknown. A meta-analysis of randomized and non-randomized controlled trials (RCT and NRCT) was performed to summarize current evidence.Methods: Relevant RCTs and NRCTs comparing the influences of autologous bone grafting on healing of long bone delayed union or non-union with and without PRP were obtained by searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane's Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and WanFang databases from inception to September 10, 2020. A random-effect model was applied to pool the results with the incorporation of the potential heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis according to study design was also performed.Results: Six RCTs and two NRCTs with 420 patients were included. Compared to patients allocated to autologous bone grafting alone, those allocated to combined treatment with PRP and autologous bone grafting were not associated with higher rates of radiographic bone healing [risk ratio (RR): 1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.99–1.13, P = 0.09; I2 = 24%] or excellent/good posttreatment limb function (RR: 1.14, 95% CI: 0.95–1.37, P = 0.37; I2 = 0%) but was associated with a shorter healing time (mean difference: −1.35 months, 95% CI: −1.86 to −0.84, P < 0.001; I2 = 58%). Subgroup analysis according to study design showed similar results for the above outcomes (P-values for subgroup difference all >0.10).Conclusions: Combined treatment with PRP and autologous bone grafting may be effective to accelerate the healing of long bone delayed union or non-union compared to autologous bone grafting alone.

Abstract Background The aim of this study is to analyse the re-operation rate after surgical treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OCLTs) in children and adolescents. Methods Between 2009 and 2019, 27 consecutive patients with a solitary OCLT (10 male, 17 female; mean age 16.9 ± 2.2 years; 8 idiopathic vs. 19 traumatic) received primary operative treatment (arthroscopy + bone marrow stimulation [BMS], n = 8; arthroscopy + retrograde drilling, n = 8; autologous chondrocyte implantation [ACI]/autologous bone grafting, n = 9; arthroscopy + BMS + retrograde drilling; n = 1; flake fixation, n = 1). Seventeen OCLTs were located at the medial and ten at the lateral talus. ‘Re-operation’ as the outcome measure was evaluated after a median follow-up of 42 months (range 6–117 months). Patients were further subdivided into groups A (re-operation, n = 7) and B (no re-operation, n = 20). Groups A and B were compared with respect to epidemiological, lesion- and therapy-related variables. Results Seven of 27 patients needed a re-operation (re-operation rate 25.9% after a median interval of 31 months [range 13–61 months]). The following operative techniques were initially used in these seven patients: arthroscopy + BMS n = 2, arthroscopy + retrograde drilling n = 4, ACI + autologous bone grafting n = 1. A comparison of group A with group B revealed different OCLT characteristics between both groups. The intraoperative findings according to the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) classification revealed significantly more advanced cartilage damage in group B than in group A (p = 0.001). Conclusions We detected a re-operation rate of 25.9% after primary surgical OCLT treatment. Patients with re-operation had significantly lower ICRS classification stages compared to patients without re-operation.

Olecranon apophyseal nonunion is an elbow injury from overuse that affects adolescent athletes such as baseball pitchers who participate in overhead throwing sports. However, such injury is rare in collision sports. Here, we report two patients with this condition who are Judo athletes. The purpose of this report was to describe three elbows with olecranon apophyseal nonunion in two adolescent patients participating in Judo. This is a case series; the level of evidence is 4. Two 15-year-old patients were evaluated. One suffered from unilateral and the other from bilateral chronic posterior elbow pain. They were diagnosed with olecranon apophyseal nonunion, which was treated using internal fixation and bone grafting. Radiographic evidence of the apophyseal union was observed four months postsurgery. Two elbows were treated with tension band wiring, then they underwent hardware removal six months postsurgery. Both patients returned to their previous levels of activities six months postsurgery. Internal fixation using autologous bone grafting was a useful treatment for these Judo athletes with olecranon apophyseal nonunion.
