265. Novel C1-2 loop-suture technique for securing interlaminar bone graft during atlantoaxial arthrodesis: surgical technique and outcomes

✓ A series of 40 patients with degenerative discopathy was effectively treated by means of a trans-unco-discal approach, which is a combined anterior and lateral approach to cervical discs. Interbody fusion is not performed except for special cases such as significant kyphosis and unstable cervical spine. Twenty patients who had this approach without interbody bone graft have been followed clinically and radiographically for 9 to 36 months. The author describes the surgical technique, complications, and results.

Tubular Bones

Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign tumor that is typically found in the metaphyseal ends of long tubular bones, such as the tibia. The authors describe a case of this neoplasm occurring in the foot. Treatment included complete resection with reconstruction using an autogenous fibular bone graft. The surgical technique and the advantages of using a fibular bone graft are discussed.

Surrounding Bone

Osteoid osteomas may be treated medically or surgically; both have similar long-term outcomes. Nonetheless, only surgery allows complete excision of the lesion for histological analysis. Excessive removal of surrounding bone may destabilise and weaken the bony structure and predispose it to fractures. We describe a surgical technique using a bone graft trephine to enable precise lesion removal with minimal bone excision.

Coronal Synostosis

Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term result of an onlay bone graft augmentation of the supraorbital ridge at the time of primary correction of coronal suture synostosis. Design: The study is a retrospective review of 62 consecutive patients treated for coronal synostosis from June 1991 through February 1997. The surgical technique utilized involved a standard bilateral fronto-orbital advancement and calvarial reshaping with the addition of an onlay bone graft in the supraorbital region. Setting: All patients were treated at a tertiary care craniofacial center. Results and Conclusion: A total of 62 patients were treated by this technique. Fifty patients underwent primary correction as infants (mean age 9.8 months). An additional 12 patients were older (mean age 8.2 years) and were treated for residual deformity having previously undergone correction by another technique. Results with follow-up as long as 7 years demonstrate stable forehead and orbital symmetry. Complications identified by chart review were minimal and not directly attributable to this modification in surgical technique.
