    Comparison of three surgical treatment options for unicameral bone cysts in humerus.
    J Pediatr Orthop B 2018 Apr 23. Epub 2018 Apr 23.
    Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria.
    Treatment of unicameral bone cysts (UBC) in the humerus with drainage screws is scarcely reported in the literature. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare drainage screws and alternative treatment methods with respect to the number of required surgical procedures to achieve sufficient UBC healing, postoperative fractures/recurrences/complications, and radiological outcome. Medical archives of two tertiary orthopedic referral centers were screened for all patients who were treated surgically for humeral UBC in the period 1991-2015 with a histologically/cytologically confirmed diagnosis.

    TEN versus external fixator in the management of pediatric diaphyseal femoral fractures: evaluation of the outcomes.
    Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol 2018 Apr 20. Epub 2018 Apr 20.
    Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Vito Fazzi Hospital, Lecce, Italy.
    Introduction: Over the last 20 years, the incidence of pediatric diaphyseal femoral fractures was increased, due to changes in the children's daily activities. The healing times are different according to the chosen treatment and to other factors such as age, type of fracture, involvement of the soft tissues, and concomitance with other injuries.

    Materials And Methods: From 2000 to 2015, 38 pediatric patients with diaphyseal femoral fractures were surgically treated and enrolled in the study. Read More

    The Use of Pediatric Flexible Intramedullary Nails for Minimally Invasive Fibular Fracture Fixation.
    J Foot Ankle Surg 2018 Apr 13. Epub 2018 Apr 13.
    Attending, Private Practice, Orange County Foot and Ankle Surgeon, Irvine, CA.
    Fibular fractures in the setting of an unstable ankle joint require surgical fixation; however, several factors contradict open surgical correction. Severe soft tissue compromise can delay adequate fracture reduction and preclude the standard incisional approach. The soft tissue envelope in the setting of obesity, diabetes, and/or peripheral vascular disease further complicates definitive treatment. Read More

    A patient specific finite element simulation of intramedullary nailing to predict the displacement of the distal locking hole.

    Iranian Tissue Bank and Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
    Distal locking is a challenging subtask of intramedullary nailing fracture fixation due to the nail deformation that makes the proximally mounted targeting systems ineffective. A patient specific finite element model was developed, based on the QCT data of a cadaveric femur, to predict the position of the distal hole of the nail postoperatively. The mechanical interactions of femur and nail (of two sizes) during nail insertion was simulated using ABAQUS in two steps of dynamic pushing and static equilibrium, for the intact and distally fractured bone.
