RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Recombinant human Bone morphogenetic proteins have been used for the treatment of nonunions with promising results. We have been investigating both experimentally and clinically the efficacy of the rhBMP-2 with the macro / micro-porous hydroxyapatite carrier granules on the potency on the reconstruction of long bone defect. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of this specific rhBMP-2 with HA carrier granules mixed with autologous cancellous bone in patients with nonunion and bone defect resulted from the fracture related infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective review of a prospective cohort at a university hospital. Patients diagnosed with nonunion under the definition of the United States Food and Drug Administration with bone defect after long bone fractures were enrolled from January 2020 to February 2021. We included patients with atrophic and oligotrophic nonunion, and hypertrophic nonunion with malalignment that needed to be corrected. The other patient group was consisted of segmental bone defect resulted from FRI. The maximum amount of rhBMP-2 allowed in this clinical study was 6 mg and was added to autologous bone at a 1:1 ratio. Autologous bone was added to the mixture if the volume of mixed graft was insufficient to fill the bone defect. Patients were followed 3, 6, and 12 months post-operatively. Each visit, a radiograph was taken for assessment. Visual analog scale (VAS), questionnaire for quality of life (SF-12 physical component summary [PCS], mental component summary [MCS]), and weight-bearing status were collected for functional outcome assessment. Drug safety was assessed by examining BMP-2 antibodies. RESULTS: Of the 24 enrolled patients (mean age: 57 years), 15 (62.5 %), 2 (8.33 %), and 7 (29.17 %) presented atrophic nonunion, hypertrophic nonunion with deformity, and bone defect after fracture related infection, respectively. Thirteen patients had nonunion in the femur, 9 in the tibia, and 1 in the humerus and radius. The average amount of harvested autologous bone was 9.25 g and 4.96 mg of rhBMP-2. All 24 patients achieved union after 1-year follow up. The union rate was 95.83 % and 100 % at 6 and 12 months postoperatively, respectively. Preoperative SF-12 PCS (mean: 34.71) improved at 6 and 12 months postoperatively, respectively. Preoperative SF-12 MCS (mean: 42.89) improved 12 months postoperatively (49.13, p = 0.0338). Change of VAS was statistically significant 3 months postoperatively (p = 0.0012). No adverse effects or development of BMP-2 antibodies were observed. CONCLUSION: BMP-2 combined with autogenous bone resulted in excellent radiographical and functional outcomes in a relatively small prospective series of patients with nonunion and bone defect, without adverse effects. Further investigations are necessary to support our finding and optimize treatment strategies in nonunion patients.

RESUMO

Despite the variety of treatment methods, comminuted inferior pole fractures of the patella remain difficult and technically demanding to achieve stable internal fixation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of rim plate-augmented separate vertical wiring with supplementary fixation in the management of comminuted inferior pole fractures, AO/OTA 34-A1, C2, and C3, which has the secondary horizontal fracture line on lower articular boundary. From our study, bony union was achieved in all patients at an average of 3.1 ± 1.4 months after surgery. There was no patient with loss of reduction, fixation failure, or infection during follow-up. The average final range of motion was 131.6° ± 7.2°. Lysholm knee scores gradually increased over 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively by 58.7, 74.0, 82.9, and 89.4, respectively. Isokinetic peak torque deficit of the knee extensor muscles in 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively was 59.9%, 49.7%, 35.7%, and 28.1%, respectively. The rim plate-augmented separate vertical wiring with supplementary fixation for the treatment of patellar fracture associated comminuted inferior pole is effective and can be safely applied AO/OTA 34-C2 or C3 with favorable outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUD: Femoral neck stress fractures (FNSFs) are rare but potentially disabling injuries if the diagnosis is missed or delayed and proper treatment is not provided. The aim of this study was to investigate and describe the characteristics and clinical course of FNSFs in South Korean male military recruits. METHODS: Between May 2015 and October 2019, 16 fractures in 12 young male military recruits were reviewed. The characteristics of the fractures were ascertained by detailed analysis of the history and clinical course, as well as radiographs, bone scintigrams, and magnetic resonance images. RESULTS: The median duration between endurance training and the development of hip pain was 5 weeks, while the median duration of pain before the patient sought medical attention was 3 weeks. Four patients (33.3%) exhibited bilateral fractures, and concomitant lesions involving the proximal tibia were found in 3 patients (25%). Fourteen of the 16 fractures (87.5%) were compression-type fractures, and surgery was performed for 7 hips. Complete union without malunion or osteonecrosis was achieved in all cases, and all cadets returned to their full activity levels in an average of 10 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: We observed excellent prognosis of FNSFs. Our report highlights the importance of early reporting, detection, and treatment regarding the challenging management of FNSFs. When a military recruit reports hip pain, a FNSF should be considered; furthermore, the bilaterality of the fracture and the presence of concomitant lesions should also be investigated.
