The study is aimed to compare the effectiveness of "Histograft" bone substitute (gene-activated bone substitute based on octacalcium phosphate and plasmid DNA encoding VEGFA gene) mixed with shredded autobone and pure shredded auto bone harvested from iliac crest in treatment of patients with long bone nonunions
Assessment of the efficacy of the multistage technique in the eradication of infection and achieving the union of traumatic infected femoral un-united shaft fractures in adult patients for one year follow up.
Vitamin D is an essential hormone involved in bone metabolism, bone mineral density maintenance, and bone health. Vitamin D deficiency is putatively linked to poor pediatric orthopedic outcomes [1]. Further, the risk of low vitamin D associated fractures may be greater in minority pediatric populations [2]. In adults, utility of vitamin D alleles as a biomarker for bone density and fracture risk has been debated for over 10 years [3-5]. Peak bone density is achieved at 25 years old; however, most orthopedic trauma patients less than 25 years of age present with substantial vitamin D deficiencies.
Nonunion is a major complication of fractures.Per cutaneous bone marrow concentrate (BMC) application around fracture ends is being utilized with great success . Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)are one of the major cell types found in BMC responsible for results Adipose tissue is an alternative source for MSCs. Besides abundant and readily accessible it also overcomes issue of morbidity with bone marrow aspiration. this retrospective analysis to report the outcome in patients treated with fluoroscopic guided percutaneous injection of SVF at the site of fracture as an outpatient procedure between November 2012 to August 2018.
Prospective registry and retrospective data collection study to assess the efficacy and safety of Vivigen Cellular Bone Matrix (Vivigen) in orthopaedic trauma patients who require bone grafting in the acute, delayed, non-union fracture as well as use in fusion procedure settings.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of genetic testing to look for possible infection as a cause for failure of non-healing fractures. The study aims to compare the results of genetic testing known as NGS to standardized clinical laboratory tests for diagnosing infections to see if NGS may be a better diagnostic tool.
Tibial shaft fractures is common long tubular fracture that account for about 13.7% of all fractures. And the incidence of nonunion of tibial shaft fracture varied from 1% to 80%. This study aimed to confirm the risk factors of nonunion of tibial shaft fracture. Moreover, the investigators hope to establish the clinical pathway of various risk factors for fracture nonunion and affirm the importance of different risk factors.
This study will examine if there is a difference between the time to full union between the control group and the study group. Each group will be composed of patients who have an open fracture in the mid tibia. Both groups will undergo primary fixation via reamed intramedulary nailing (IMN), a common treatment for tibia shaft fractures in adults. The study group will have a bone graft applied to the open cortex of the fracture. The bone graft will be composed of the intramedullary reamings, which are a byproduct produced when the intramedullary canal is reamed in preparation for insertion of the IMN.
This is a multi-centered, prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing current standard of care for defect management to placement of antibiotic loaded Stimulan as a bone void filler in patients undergoing treatment of infected tibial defects or infected tibial nonunions.
