Distal humeral nonunion is one of the most concerned complications in elbow trauma. When bone loss at the fracture site is carried out due to nonunion, metaphyseal bone defect occurs. Therefore positioning of anatomical locking plate becomes difficult owing to abnormal bone contour, and fixation of small nonunion fragment is challenging. We introduce a good method of anatomical locking plate fixation with autogenous inlay strut bone graft for internal fixation. This technique is to insert autogenous inlay bone into the proximal medullary canal and hole of distal bone fragment which will lead to achieve correction of the anatomical alignment, length and rotation deformity. The inlay grafting is reduced to the shaft with two crossed K-wires temporarily. Definitive fixation is performed with locking plates, and autogenous bone graft is added at the defect site.

Bone defect remains a big challenge for orthopedic surgeon. Bone grafting nowadays become the second common transplantation after blood transfusion. Autogenous bone graft is the gold standard in treatment of bone defect, but it’s source limitation and donor site morbidity makes some surgeon were looking for allograft or xenograft. There are some issues with allo- and xenograft about difficulty in corporation and rejection reaction. This study explores the immunogenicity of allograft and xenograft. Keyword :  freeze-dried xenograft, freeze-dried allograft, hydroxyapatite xenograft, demineralized bone matrix xenograft.

Corrective osteotomy with callus filling at fracture site for malunion after distal radius fracture is a rare technique, but it achieved a favorable postoperative outcome. The patient, 66-year-old female, visited our hospital 4 months after distal radius fracture. Corrective osteotomy of the distal radius was planned aiming at improving the wrist joint function, and was performed using a volar locking plate, then the bone defect was filled with callus as autogenous bone grafting. At 12 months after surgery, left wrist joint pain and the range of motion have improved, and the Mayo wrist score was excellent. To our knowledge, there has been no study on the treatment of bone defects by filling with callus. Since favorable bone fusion was achieved with callus, this treatment method may overcome the disadvantages of autogenous bone graft, such as pain at the donor region.

Background: The trapeziometacarpal joint is the second most common site of osteoarthritis in the hand and the most frequent one to require surgery. Arthrodesis of the trapeziometacarpal joint is recognized as one of the valuable technique but unfortunately there has been wide variation in the union rate. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new arthrodesis technique involving a cross-shaped bone graft and locking plate fixation. Methods: Eleven male patients diagnosed as Eaton’s stage III osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal join were treated in our institute. The mean patient age was 62 years (range 50 to 80 years). At the day after surgery, physical therapy was started and free use of the hand was permitted. Results: Patients showed radiographic evidence of trapeziometacarpal joint union after an average postoperative period of 8.3 weeks (range 6–12 weeks). The VAS pain score significantly decreased from 7.2 points preoperatively to 0.4 points after surgery. Mean side pinch strength increased significantly from 3.8 kg (53% compared to unaffected side) prior to surgery to 6.2 kg (86%). The DASH score improved from 38.6 (range 34.1–43.2) preoperatively to 17.0 (6.8–22.7) postoperatively. Conclusions: These data suggested that our technique is a successful procedure for the trapeziometacarpal joint arthrodesis. Cross-shaped bone grafts have the advantages of restoring thumb length and providing internal stabilization, especially for rotational force. No complications arose at the bone harvest site of the iliac crest. The procedure seems to be technically demanding, particularly for adapting the bone graft to perfectly match the shape of the defect.
