Wrist arthrodesis using iliac bone graft and internal fixation

Surgical fusion of the wrist was undertaken to relieve twenty four patients from wrist pain and disability of different etiologies. An only iliac graft was used and fixed by screws. A report of the indication, technique and results was presented

treatment of ununited fractures of the carpal scaphoid by styloidectomy and bone grafting

Many procedures were described for treatment of non-union of the scaphoid. Radial styloid-ectomy and grafting of the pseudarthrosis were used to treat 27 cases of scaphoid non-unions. 25 cases were available for the final evaluation. The technique and results are here presented. The procedure has led to union in 21 cases. The function of the wrist and hand has definitely improved. There has been marked relief of pain in most of the cases. The improvement in the grip strength has been moderate. The range of movements of the wrist has mildly increased

safer, new surgical approach for tibial plating

To avoid wound complications of incisions for tibial plating, a long incision curved lateraly overlying the lateral muscle compartment of the leg, has been used prospectively, in plating of sixty fractures of the tibial shaft. This is a report of the technique and definitely better results of such an approach which can be used in dealing with fresh as well as ununited fractures of the tibial shaft. The excellent results we obtained have permitted us to recommend this type of exposure to avoid the well-known, but not as well documented, complications of more classic ones
