This study was performed to determine whether
pure cancellous bone graft and Kirschner (K-) wire fixation were sufficient
to achieve bony union and restore alignment in scaphoid

We report the operative technique and results of a new method of central grafting for persistent
Fracture of the tuberosity of the scaphoid is common and usually heals without incident because of the good blood supply. We report four cases of
Ununited fractures of the scaphoid with extensive bone resorption are usually treated by bone grafting and internal fixation, using either an open or a minimally invasive technique. We studied the feasibility of percutaneous fixation without bone grafting in a consecutive series of 27 patients with established
We treated 24 patients with
We report our experience in 42 patients, using corticocancellous bone grafts and lag screw fixation for un-united scaphoid fractures. Using a grading system, we analysed the suitability of the method for three types of
We reviewed the results of 13 adults of secondary reconstruction of malunited and ununited intraarticular distal humeral fractures. Their average age was 39.7 years, and preoperatively all had pain, loss of motion and functional disability; the average arc of motion was only 43 degrees and the average flexion contracture was 45 degrees. Nine patients had ulnar neuropathy. Elbow reconstruction, at an average of 13.4 months after the original injury, included osteotomy for malunion or debridement for
Between 1993 and 2000 we treated 14 patients with

Tönnis triple pelvic osteotomy is an accepted technique to correct acetabular dysplasia and degenerative labral pathology. A series of 409 consecutive patients who underwent a triple pelvic osteotomy between 1987 and 1999 were followed for a mean of 7.1 years (2 to 15). Five patients (1.2%), all women, developed a double
We present a retrospective study of 27 patients treated by callus distraction using a unilateral external fixator of our own design for
We have reviewed 36 of 39 consecutive patients with an average age of 68 years who had semiconstrained elbow replacement for distal humeral

There are few reports on function after limb salvage surgery using the Ilizarov technique, and none that document the pattern of recovery or predict when maximum function returns. This prospective, longitudinal study documents the baseline functional abilities of 40 consecutive patients with
National Hunt jockeys suffer a disproportionate number of clavicular fractures and their return to riding may be considerably delayed by refracture and symptomatic

Exchange nailing for failure of union after primary intramedullary nailing of the tibia is widely used but the indications and effectiveness have not been reported in detail. We have reviewed 33 cases of uninfected
