The results of treatment in 50 consecutive patients with established non-union of the scaphoid are presented. All patients were treated under the care of a single consultant, for the same indications. Russe bone graft is compared with wedge bone graft plus Herbert screw fixation, in terms of union and function. Overall, a higher success rate was obtained by wedge graft plus Herbert screw, and a significantly better range of movement. However, Russe bone graft appears equally satisfactory for fibrous non-union.

Distal ulna fractures often occur with distal radius fractures, and their treatment method is still controversial. We considered reduction of the distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ) surface the most important factor when treating distal ulna fractures accompanied by residual dislocation. We herein presented a patient with a distal ulna fracture accompanied by dislocation of the DRUJ surface in whom an autogenous bone fragment collected from the radius was grafted onto the ulnar bone defect after open reduction and Herbert screw fixation. In this technique, the bone fragment was supported through the medullary cavity by inserting a Herbert screw, which was less likely to cause irritation between the screw and surrounding tissue, because the screw was almost entirely present in the bone. In addition, an autogenous bone graft from the same surgical field may be less invasive than that from another region.

Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: Kirschner-wires fixation, sometimes we have encountered pin irritation or pull-out. This is the reason why we consider additional fixation. Moreover, there are few reports according to comparison of fixation method, and Most of them focused on comparison K-wires or screw fixation only. Purpose of study is to compare clinical and radiographic outcome between Kirschner-wires only and combined screw fixation. Methods: The study included two different groups according to fixation methods. One with Kirschner-wires fixation (KW group) included 117 feet(of 98 patients), the other with combined screw fixation (KWS group) 56 feet (of 40 patients) with moderate to severe hallux valgus. Clinically, the preoperative and final follow-up visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, the preoperative and final follow-up American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) hallux metatarsophalangeal (MTP)-interphalangeal (IP) scores, and patient satisfaction after the surgery were evaluated. Radiographically, the hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), medial sesamoid position (MSP), and first to fifth metatarsal width (1-5MTW) were analyzed before and after surgery. Results: The mean AOFAS score improved preoperative 65.5 to 95.3 at final follow up in group A, while preoperative 56.5 to 88.6 at final follow up. Pain VAS decreased from 5.7 to 0.5 in group A, whereas from 6.2 to 1.6 in group B. The mean HVA all improved from preoperative 38.5 to 9.3 at final follow up in group A and 34.7 to 9.1 in group B. The mean IMA and MSP also improved significantly at final follow up. In comparative analysis, the IMA did not show significant difference between postoperative and final state in group A, while showed significant increase in group B. Conclusion: We achieved favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes with minimal complications in patient with moderate to severe hallux valgus in both groups. However, this study shows no statistically significant difference in IMA during follow-up period and lower recurrence rate. Therefore we need to consider combined fixation method to provide better stability and can expect lower recurrence rate.

Our experience in the treatment of 50 scaphoid nonunions treated with Herbert screw fixation is reviewed. Success rates fell off as the duration of nonunion before treatment increased. However, this appeared to be related to the increased incidence of avascular necrosis with time rather than simply the factor of time alone. In this series the major adverse determinants for outcome were avascular necrosis and a history of previous surgery for nonunion. Failure to graft in a selected group with an intact cartilaginous envelope or a stable firm fibrous union did not affect results. The heterogeneous nature of any series of scaphoid nonunions is emphasized and the difficulties in comparing results with cohorts unmatched for the various adverse factors discussed is stressed.
