Abstract

Abstract: Defects in long bones including tibia are still difficult problems in orthopaedic field for both the physician and the patient. We reported a case of a 56-year-old woman who came to the hospital with the chief complaint of being unable to walk since she was nine years old after getting a motorcycle accident. The patient complained that her leg did not grow since then. The patient was fully conscious and hemodynamically stable. Physical examination revealed that there was a deformity of the left lower leg with shortening of the lower leg and absence of the tibial bone. The patient was diagnosed with left tibia bone defect, therefore, above-the-knee amputation was performed. The amputation must be viewed as an opportunity to re-establish or enhance the patient’s functional level and facilitate a return to near normal locomotion using a prosthesis after amputation. Soft tissue and muscle quality, bone condition, neurovascular conditions and function of the limb can be considered in the selection of therapy in bone defect. The level of amputation can be determined by assessing the bone condition, neurovascular condition, and the ability of muscle and skin flaps to close the wound. In conclusion, amputation can be the treatment of choice for patient with bone defect. Improving lower limb function is proven to maximize the patient quality of life. Keywords: bone defect tibia; above-the-knee amputation; transfemoral amputation

Abstract

Abstract: Cases of bone giant cell tumors (GCT) are rarely found, generally benign and locally aggressive tumors. Surgical resection is the universal standard for treatment of bone GCT. Non vascularized fibular graft (NVFG) is useful in the reconstruction of skeletal defects, especially in cases of scarred and avascular recipient sites and patient with tumor surrounded by poor tissue condition. We report a 53-year-old woman, with a lump in her left hand for three years. X-ray examination revealed a mass with firm border and regular edge that reached the epiphysis expansively with thinning of the cortex in the distal region of the left ulna. Tumor excision was performed with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and fibular bone graft. To date, GCT is one of the most obscure and intensively examined bone tumors, and its histological images do not predict the clinical outcome. Moreover, many unanswered questions regard to the treatment and prognosis without any consensus regarding the ideal treatment selection. NVFG osteosynthesis shows encouraging results, and adequate therapy, wound care and patient compliance affect the patient’s outcome. In conclusion, NVFG and internal fixation are effective options for post tumor excision, and osteosynthesis has encouraging result. Keywords: non vascularized fibular graft (NVFG); giant cell tumor; bone graft; ulna

Abstract

Abstract: Fibula is a very versatile source of autogenous graft and has been used for decades in the field of limb reconstruction. Bony defects of the lower extremity are usually the result of high-energy trauma, tumor resection, or severe sepsis. Non-vascularized fibular graft (NVFG) is useful in the reconstruction of skeletal defects, especially in cases of scarred and avascular recipient sites, or in patients with combined bone and soft tissue defects. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of NVFG in the management of non-union bone fracture. We reported a 16-years-old male with non-union femur fracture. Debridements were applied at the first time of admission to the hospital. Open reduction of fracture with internal femur fixation. Fibula bone was extracted as the donor of vascularized graft for the bone loss. After two years of follow-up, the patient acquired his motor functions back well, and was able to carry out daily activities as expected. In conclusion, taking together the repair and reconstruction of non-union bone in the lower extremity with NVFG and internal fixation is an effective and important option for treating non-union femoral fracture. NVFG osteosynthesis has encouraging results in such instances. It is technically less demanding, simple, and can be performed in almost all centers where image intensifier is available.
