A new technique for interposition arthroplasty of the first metatarsoplalangeal joint is described. It involves minimal resection of the base of the proximal phalanx and the use of a fascia lata allograft. The method is simple, safe, and easily reproducible. In selected cases it can offer restoration of pain-free motion in a nonsalvable joint. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 98(2): 160–163, 2008)

This short review focuses on clinical and therapeutic issues posed by severe osteoporotic and neoplastic insufficiency vertebral fractures and on the potential use of a new technique to obtain minimally invasive vertebral body reconstruction, augmentation, and stabilization in such severe fractures, combining two preexisting procedures. The implant of vertebral body stents is followed by insertion of percutaneous, fenestrated, cement-augmented pedicular screws that act as anchors to the posterior elements for the cement–stent complex. This procedure results in a 360° nonfusion form of vertebral internal fixation that may empower vertebral augmentation and potentially avoid corpectomy in challenging osteoporotic and neoplastic fractures.

Working and balancing sides are subject to torsional and the tensile stresses, respectively. Tension banding principle denotes the principle of plating along the tension line for stable internal fixation on the balancing side of the mandibular fracture, which is the theoretical basis for the miniplate osteosynthesis. On the contrary, Arbeitsgemeinschaft fϋr Osteo - synthesefragen/Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO/ASIF) introduced the idea of stable fixation which confirms the stability of the fracture segment across the fracture line of the working side. Merging the principles of the miniplate osteosynthesis and compression osteosynthesis, the author suggests a new technique of angled eccentric osteosynthesis in case of simple mandibular fractures. The drilling holes are eccentrically positioned away from the fracture gap and intentionally angled to each other. The advancement of the miniscrews through these eccentrically angled drill holes will exert an axial load toward the fracture gap providing an interfragmental compressive force.

This study compares the strength and rigidity of four methods of internal fixation for arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Ten matched pairs of cadaveric first rays were harvested and arthrodesis performed by one of four techniques: (1) planar excision of joint surfaces and fixation with crossed Kirschner wires, (2) planar excision of joint surfaces and internal fixation with a dorsal plate and screws, (3) planar excision of joint surfaces and internal fixation with an interfragmentary screw, or (4) excision of the joint surfaces using powered conical reamers and fixation with an interfragmentary lag screw. Biomechanical testing with a Bionix 858 materials testing machine was carried out, applying a plantar force utilizing principles of cantilever loading. Force applied and displacement of the arthrodesis were recorded. Of the four methods tested, bony preparation with power conical reamers and supplementary interfragmentary screw fixation was the most stable.
