Abstract

Background: The increasing life expectancy of the world population associated with osteopenia and osteoporosis leads to low-energy fractures, especially in the lower limb. The overture of locking plates has widened the area of close fracture fixation, and it is essential to justify and optimize their usage. This study aims to report the potential postoperative re-fracture after implant removal and as a consequence of bone osteoporosis.Case report: We present a re-fracture of proximal femur case in 60 years old female after a trivial fall into her right femur. This patient underwent a removal implant surgery a week before in the same spot where she fell. The open surgery was made with the same incision, and we do the Open Reduction Internal Fixation for her. Discussion: The major design of the fixation tool is to secure the fracture with less effect on native axial load stress from the whole bone. Stress shielding caused due to firm bone-implant results in its resorption. The bone degradation underneath gives rise to the plate's collapse, resulting in repeated bone breakage. Early discharge, continued weight-bearing training for proximal femur fractures were associated with speedy improvement in daily activities. The photodynamic polymer liquid was the latest technology for bone stabilization.Conclusion: Rigid bone plates can cause stress shielding, and when the implants are removed, re-fracture easily happens. Therefore, discharge of patients quickly for weight-bearing training in proximal femur fractures was encouraged to promote better healing.

Abstract

Background: Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is a relatively common type of benign tumor involving the epiphyseal region of tubular bones, but GCT rarely occurs at hand (1–4% of all GCT). GCT within the hand tends to be more aggressive and recurs more rapidly in hand than in other locations. Most authors prefer curettage or resection with reconstruction to maintain anatomical and functional integrity.Case Report: A 27-year-old man with a chief complaint of an enlarged lump and pain in the index finger of his left hand. These lumps appeared three months ago. Plain radiographs showed lytic, eccentric, geographic lesions with well-defined borders and narrow transition zones. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a primary aggressive bone tumor with extension to the surrounding soft tissue. Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB) revealed the lesion as a Bone Giant Cell Tumor. The patient then underwent local resection and reconstruction using an allograft. Range of movement (ROM) measurements and DASH scores were evaluated.Discussion: Radiographic and MRI examinations showed characteristic cortical breach, and FNAB showed multinucleated giant cell spread. After treatment, the patient was found to be pain-free, have an improved ROM, and reduced disability. There was no recurrence observed. Conclusion: Despite the tendency for hand GCT to be more aggressive, local resection and reconstruction using an allograft with adjuvant hydrogen peroxide can reduce recurrence and disability.
