Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Orthopedics & Rheumatology Authored by Edgardo R Rodriguez Collazo Peripheral entrapment neuropathy in the lower extremity is caused by some anatomical configuration constricting the nerve, or in the case of trauma, some anatomical disposition rendering the nerve in an inflammatory state. In cases of multiple reconstructive surgeries of the lower extremity, scar tissue develops along the course of surgical incisions that can eventually impede on the normal function of surrounding nerve. The nerves affected can cause intractable pain that is unresponsive to conservative treatments. Surgeons may choose to perform surgical decompression with an external and or internal neurolysis.

Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal of Orthopedics & Rheumatology Physeal Injuries are Special Authored by Waleed Kishta Secondary ossification centers for the epiphysis and apophysis evolve through different stages until complete fusion. This evolution leads to variations in fracture patterns and based on mechanism and anatomical location. This is important as roughly 15% of all children fractures involve a physeal injury [1]. In this review, we will briefly touch on the mechanism, pathophysiology, diagnosis, investigations and management of physeal injuries related to secondary ossification. Three stages of secondary ossification, including: pre-ossification, pre-fusion, and incomplete fusion selected. Apophyseal injuries represent a special subset as their injury can fall into several categories based on stage of development.

Juniper Publishers-Orthopedics and Rheumatolgy Combined Use of the Illizarov Method, Concentrated Bone Marrow Aspirate (cBMA), and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to Facilitate Healing Authored by Edgardo R Rodriguez Non-union fractures, particularly in patients experiencing soft-tissue loss, comorbidities, and chron¬ic infection, can be difficult to treat. These fractures are typically accompanied by high rates of post-surgical non¬union and recurrence of infection. The Ilizarov method has addressed conditions such as infection, deformity, soft-tissue loss, and joint contracture. However, techniques to optimize the osteogeneic potential of inured bone are relatively new. Autologous concentrated bone marrow as¬pirate (cBMA) and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) are thera¬pies that increase osteogeneic potential of osteoconduc¬tive demineralized bone matrix (DBM). To evaluate the efficacy of the Ilizarov method combined with a cocktail of demineralized bone matrix (DBM...

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..
