In response to the article by Rothermel and colleagues, the authors suggest the use of cancellous bone graft for repair of fistulae of the hard palate as an addition to the proposed toolbox.

Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: There is no consensus on treatment or prognosis for Hepple stage V Osteochondral lesion of talus (OLTs), especially for lesion more than 1.5 cm2. This research was to investigate surgical techniques and clinical outcomes of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) scaffold for Hepple stage V OLTs. Methods: 14 patients were treated by cancellous bone graft with PRP gel scaffold between 2013 and 2015 with average age of 38.9 years old and mean set of 23.5 months. Ankle X-ray and MRI were obtained at the final follow-up for evaluation. Functional outcomes were scored by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, American Orthopaedics Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle- hindfoot score and Short Form (36) Survey score (SF-36). Range of motion (ROM) of ankle joint and complications were also recorded. Results: 13 patients got the final follow-up with a mean duration of 18 months. MRI showed complete regeneration of subchondral bone and cartilage in all patients. The post-operative VAS, AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score and SF-36 score improved significantly (P<0.0001) without obvious complications. Conclusion: We suggest that for the patients of Hepple stage V OLTs, cancellous bone graft with PRP scaffold may be a safe and effective treatment.

SummaryThis report has documented the repair and healing of two ilial fractures in dogs which were compounded by the presence of a cemented acetabular prosthesis. While specific recommendations can not be made from such a small number of cases, the information presented herein suggests that such fractures will heal without complication if aseptic surgical techniques and standard methods of internal fixation are employed. The authors strongly recommend the prophylactic use of intravenous antibiotics and the placement of cancellous bone graft when the repair of such fractures is attempted.Two traumatic ilial fractures involving the cement/bone interface of acetabular prostheses were repaired using lag screws, cerclage wires, and autogenous bone grafts. The fractures healed and ambulatory function was regained.

SummaryTwo perforated stainless steel cylinders and autogenous cancellous bone were implanted into each of the distal intertarsal and tarsometatarsal joints of seven horses. In two control horses holes were drilled into each joint and autogenous cancellous bone was implanted without stainless steel cylinders. Horses which had cylinders implanted in the distal tarsal joints exhibited less lameness and were more comfortable following surgery than were the control horses. Fracture of the third tarsal, central tarsal, or third metatarsal occurred in five of the seven horses implanted with stainless steel cylinders within 45 days of surgery. Two implanted horses and two control horses were observed for five months after surgery. Partial fusion of the distal tarsal joints occurred in all four horses. Control horses were more lame than the implanted horses and developed a large bony exostosis over the medial distal tarsus.
