Methods of Bone Transport for Humeral Defect Reconstruction
Understanding Bone Transport Bone transport involves the gradual movement of an osteotomized bone segment over time to bridge a skeletal defect. This technique plays a critical role in bone reconstruction, particularly when traditional methods either fall short or pose excessive risks to the patient. The principal advantage of bone transport is its ability to generate […]

Anatomy and Frequency of Carpal Fractures
Carpal Bones The carpal bones are a group of eight small bones that form the wrist, arranged in proximal and distal rows. Their unique anatomy and positioning influence both the likelihood of fracture and the clinical presentation. Below is an overview of each bone and its fracture frequency, along with clinical considerations. Anatomy and Frequency […]

Mastering Callotasis: The Science and Strategy of Bone Lengthening
Callotasis as a Bone Elongation Method Callotasis, also known as distraction osteogenesis, is a surgical technique that prompts bone regeneration through gradual mechanical distraction. Following a controlled osteotomy, a distraction device,commonly an external fixator is applied. This initiates a sequence of healing phases where mechanical tension stimulates new bone formation in the gap between bone […]

Understanding Nonunion of Long Bone Fractures & How to Choose Between Ilizarov and MonoRail Fixators
1. What Is Long Bone Fracture Non-Union? A non-union occurs when a fracture does not heal on its own without further intervention. Clinically, most sources define this as persistence of a fracture after at least 6–9 months with no progression toward union in the last 3 months . Non-unions are often categorized as: Hypertrophic (biologically active but mechanically unstable) […]

A Reliable Surgical Strategy for AO Type C3 Distal Radius Fractures: Distal Radius Fixator with LCP Volar Distal Radius Plate
AO Type C3 Distal Radius Fractures Distal radius fractures are among the most common orthopedic injuries worldwide, especially in older adults following low-energy trauma or in younger individuals due to high-impact injuries. According to the AOclassification, distal radius fractures are divided into types A (extra-articular), B (partial articular), and C (complete articular). AO type C3 is […]
