The Advantages of Type III Scaphoid Nonunion Advanced Collapse (SNAC) Treatment With Partial Carpal Arthrodesis in the Dominant Hand: Results of 5-ye…

2018

Introduction The SNAC wrist (Scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse) is one of the complications following scaphoid fractures treated conservatively and one of the causes of wrist arthritis that the hand surgeon has to face most frequently. In these cases surgical management is usually warranted. Materials and methods In the set time frame of 6 years we treated 15 SNAC wrist cases. On average patients underwent surgery five years after the trauma. All patients were treated via dorsal incision with partial carpal arthrodesis and total scaphoidectomy, associated with denervation of the posterior interosseous nerves. A plaster cast was applied to all patients for 3 weeks postoperatively. In the p…

Assessment of Gait after Treatment of Tibial Nonunion with the Ilizarov Method

2021

Background: Tibial nonunion is a common bone union disorder leading to abnormal gait, and thus reducing quality of life in the social dimension. Research question: The aim of our work was to comprehensively assess gait parameters of patients who had undergone Ilizarov treatment for tibial nonunion compared to a control group of healthy individuals. Methods: This study evaluated patients treated for aseptic tibial nonunion with the Ilizarov method. 24 patients with a mean age of 55.0 years were included in the study. The control group consisted of 32 healthy volunteers with no significant medical history who were selected to match the gender and age of patients in the study group so that the…

Complicanze delle fatture dello scafoide carpale

2016

Le fratture dello scafoide carpale sono relativamente rare e avvengono soprattutto nei giovani in seguito a traumi ad alta energia. Per via della sua particolare conformazione anatomica e per la sua vascolarizzazione, è importante un’attenta valutazione del tipo di frattura per individuare il più corret- to approccio terapeutico, al ne di prevenire le non rare complicanze quali: ritardo di consolidazione, viziosa consolidazione e pseudoartrosi. Diverse sono le classi cazioni delle fratture e delle pseudoartrosi proposte da vari autori, le quali convergono sull’importanza della valutazione della stabilità dei frammenti. Le fratture di scafoide stabili bene ciano in genere di un trattamento i…
