Intraosseous ganglia are benign cystic lesions located in the subchondral bone. Intraosseous ganglion cysts of the ankle are relatively uncommon. We present a case of recurrent intraosseous ganglion in the ankle of a 41-year-old female who had recurrence after initial surgery. She was treated effectively by curettage and autogenous cancellous bone grafting. At the final follow-up, satisfactory results were obtained with no recurrence or complications.

Aneurysmal bone cysts are benign but locally aggressive lytic lesions of bone. Surgical curettage and cancellous bone grafting resulted in complete clinical and partial radiographic resolution of an aneurysmal bone cyst of the distal tibia.

Aims Fixation of scaphoid nonunion with a volar locking plate and cancellous bone grafting has been shown to be a successful technique in small series. Few mid- or long-term follow-up studies have been reported. The aim of this study was to report the mid-term radiological and functional outcome of plate fixation for scaphoid nonunion. Methods Patients with a scaphoid nonunion were prospectively enrolled and treated with open reduction using a volar approach, debridement of the nonunion, and fixation using a locking plate and cancellous bone grafting, from the ipsilateral iliac crest. Follow-up included examination, functional assessment using the patient-rated wrist/hand evaluation (PRWHE), and multiplanar reformation CT scans at three-month intervals until union was confirmed. Results A total of 49 patients with a mean age of 31 years (16 to 74) and a mean duration of nonunion of 3.6 years (0.4 to 16) were included. Postoperatively, the nonunion healed in 47 patients (96%) as shown on CT scans. The mean time to union was 4.2 months (3 to 12). Due to impingement of the plate on the volar rim of the radius and functional limitation, the hardware was removed in 18 patients. At a median follow-up of 38 months in 34 patients, the mean active range of motion (ROM) improved significantly from 89° to 124° (SD 44°; p = 0.003). The mean grip strength improved significantly from 52% to 79% (SD 28%; p < 0.001) of the contralateral side. The mean PRWHE score improved significantly from 66 to 17 points (SD 25; p < 0.001). Conclusion Locking plate fixation supplemented with autologous cancellous bone grafting is a successful form of treatment for scaphoid nonunion. Functional outcomes improve with the passage of time, and mid-term results are excellent with a significant improvement in ROM, grip strength, and functional outcome as measured by the PRWHE.

Ten patients with 13 basilar metaphyseal impaction fractures of the proximal phalanges of the fingers were treated with “rigid internal fixation” by bone grafting alone. When retrospectively reviewed at a mean follow-up of 32 months, bone healing had occurred without any relevant secondary displacement of the fracture fragments. The final ranges of motion were good and return to work was quicker than expected.

AbstractSymptomatic lunotriquetral coalition is very rare and need open surgery after failure of conservative treatment. We report a case of a symptomatic congenital lunotriquetral coalition type 1 according to the Minaar classification, at the left wrist of a 14-year-old boy. We performed an arthroscopic treatment with two compression screws and without cancellous bone grafting. Healing was obtained at 2 months postoperatively.

Talonavicular (TN) coalition is a rare pathological union of the talus and navicular bones. We report the case of a 7-year-old girl with a symptomatic TN coalition, who underwent operative management with a lateral column lengthening procedure using autologous iliac crest bone grafting. There are no complications to report and the graft was incorporated at an early stage. At 3 year follow-up the patient has remained pain-free since the operation and maintained alignment. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of TN coalition treated with reconstructive surgery in a paediatric patient.

Category: Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: Periprosthetic osteolysis in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a substantial problem. It may cause implant failure and has potential to affect long-term implant survival. To prevent major revisional arthroplasty, it is important to make an early diagnosis of osteolysis and decide an appropriate timing of surgical intervention such as bone graft. We report our experience of bone graft for osteolysis after TAA associated with clinical and radiologic outcome. Methods: Between May 2004 and Oct. 2013, 238 primary TAA were performed on 219 patients. We excluded 37 ankles with follow-up less than 24 months; thus, 201 ankles in 185 patients with mean follow-up of 61.9 (range, 24-130) months were included in the study. Nineteen patients were treated with a total of 21 bone graft procedures for periprosthetic osteolysis after TAA. Of these patients, 12 (57.1%) were males with mean follow-up length after bone graft 35.0 months. Location of osteolysis, bone grafting method and clinical outcome parameters using visual analog scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score were recorded. Results: Radiographs revealed total of 62 osteolysis lesions in 19 patients; 35 (56.5%) distal tibial lesions, 23 (37.0%) talar lesions. Autogenous iliac bone graft was used in 18 procedures (85.7%). The mean scores (and standard deviation) improved for the VAS from 4.8 ± 1.23 points before bone graft to 3.0 ± 0.94 points at the last follow-up (p<0.05); and for the AOFAS score from 76.8 ± 5.9 before bone graft to 84.3 ± 4.5 at the last follow-up (p<0.05). After 21 bone graft procedures, 6 demonstrated detection of newly developed osteolysis. One patient needed a repeat bone graft procedure with cementation after the primary bone grafting due to large cyst on distal tibia. There was no implant failure or major revisions after the bone graft. Conclusion: Bone graft for periprosthetic osteolysis may improve patient’s clinical outcome and give support to the structures surrounding the implant. Bone grafting in optimal timing may also improve implant survivorship. However, further study is needed for the etiology of newly developed painless osteolysis even after the bone graft.
