However, techniques to optimize the osteogeneic potential of inured bone are relatively new. Autologous concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) are therapies that increase osteogeneic potential of osteoconductive demineralized bone matrix (DBM). To Read More..

Treatment of Fracture Clavicle by Ilizarov Technique Authored by Md Mofakhkharul Bari We treated 26 clavicle fractures with a mean age of 40 years (15-55) years with mini Ilizarov fixation from January 1999 to January 2014 at Bari-Ilizarov Orthopaedic Centre and NITOR, Dhaka. Out of 22 patients 20 were male and 6 female. We are presenting here the use of mini Ilizarov apparatus for fracture clavicle. Among the complications 2 pin track infections were observed from which all responded positively to local care. The mini Ilizarov apparatus and technique represents a useful method for the successful healing of fracture clavicle. To Read More..
