Effectiveness of teriparatide combined with the Ilizarov technique in septic tibial non-union
Aim The septic non-union is a common compliance in bone healing due to bone infection. Bone resection, associated with Ilizarov osteo-distraction technique, is commonly used in these cases. The aim of this study was to analyse clinical and radiological results of teriparatide in combination with the Ilizarov technique and to compare this treatment ...

Standard plating vs. cortical strut and plating for periprosthetic knee fractures: a multicentre experience
Aim Periprosthetic fracture after knee arthroplasty occurs more frequently in the supracondylar area of femur, especially after low energy trauma associated with torsional or compressive forces. Several techniques have been described for the treatment of displaced fractures. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the outcomes and bone healing o...

Surgical treatment of multifragmentary segmental femur shaft fractures with ORIF and bone graft versus MIPO: a prospective control-group study
Aim Multifragmentary segmental femoral shaft fracture is a high energy injury frequently associated with life-threatening conditions. The aim of this study was to compare the use of bio metallic open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) (plate with allograft bone strut) with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) fixation for the treatment of...

Feasibility and value of non-locking retrograde nail vs. locking retrograde nail in fixation of distal third femoral shaft fractures: radiographic, bone densitometry and clinical outcome assessments
Aim Distal femoral shaft fractures are characterized by increasing incidence and complexity and are still considered a challenging problem. No consensus on best surgical option has been achieved. The aim of this study is to investigate mineral bone densitometry, radiographic and clinical outcomes of locking retrograde intramedullary nailing (LRN) a...

Strut graft vs. traditional plating in the management of periprosthetic humeral fractures: a multicentric cohort study
Aim The gradual increase in shoulder implants in active elderly patients has appeared in a parallel increase in periprosthetic humeral fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate the advantages of using strut grafting with plate fixation during periprosthetic humerus fractures.Methods Thirty patients diagnosed with periprosthetic humeral fr...
