Real Challenge

Nonunion of long bones fixed with nails may result in implant failure. Removal of a broken intramedullary nail may be a real challenge. Many methods have been described to allow for removal of the broken piece of the nail. In this paper, we are reviewing the different techniques to extract a broken nail, classifying them into different subsets, and describing a new technique that we used to remove a broken tibial nail with narrow canal. Eight different categories of implant removal methods were described, with different methods within each category. This classification is very comprehensive and was never described before. We described a new technique (hook captured in the medulla by flexible nail introduced from the locking hole) which is a valuable technique in cases of nail of a small diameter where other methods cannot be used because of the narrow canal of the nail. Our eight categories for broken nail removal methods simplify the concepts of nail removal and allow the surgeon to better plan for the removal procedure.

Diaphyseal Fractures

The management of tibial diaphyseal fractures has always held a particular interest for orthopedic surgeons. Not only they are relatively common but also they are often difficult to treat. This prospective study was carried out at Rangpur from April 2008 to November 2009. 34 patients were treated by closed interlocking intramedullary nail. Goal of this study was to find out a safe & effective management of fracture, early mobility of patient, functional joint motion and short stay in hospital. Routine follow up was carried out in 29 patients. In 24 cases, fracture (81.76%) were united, 4 cases (13.79%) needed dynamisation with autogenous bone grafting and 1 case devoloped non union. Study showed interlocking nailing in tibia provides early mobility of patients, reduces hospital stay and fracture unites without joint stiffness and less complication.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmjk.v44i1-2.10470Bang Med J (Khulna) 2011: 44(1&2) 15-17

Diaphyseal Fractures

Background: The healing of long bones diaphyseal fractures can be often impaired and eventually end into delayed union and non-union. A number of therapeutic strategies have been proposed in combination with surgical treatment in order to enhance the healing process, such as scaffolds, growth factors, cell therapies and systemic pharmacological treatments. Our aim was to investigate the current evidence of bone healing enhancement of acute long bone diaphyseal fractures. Methods: A systematic review was conducted by using Pubmed/MEDLINE; Embase and Ovid databases. The combination of the search terms “long-bones; diaphyseal fracture; bone healing; growth factors; cell therapies; scaffolds; graft; bone substitutes; orthobiologics; teriparatide”. Results: The initial search resulted in 4156 articles of which 37 papers fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were the subject of this review. The studies included 1350 patients (837 males and 513 females) with a mean age of 65.3 years old. Conclusions: General lack of high-quality studies exists on the use of adjuvant strategies for bone healing enhancement in acute shaft fractures. Strong evidence supports the use of bone grafts, while only moderate evidence demineralized bone matrix and synthetic ceramics. Conflicting results partially supported the use of growth factors and cell therapies in acute fractures. Teriparatide showed promising results, particularly for atypical femoral fractures and periprosthetic femoral fractures.
