Die Hochenergetische Extrakorporale Stoßwellentherapie (ESWT) in der Behandlung von Pseudarthrosen
2008
PROBLEM The success rate of high-energy extracorporal shock wave therapy in the treatment of non-unions in comparison to the "golden standard" surgery is still unclear. METHOD In a prospective study, 3000 impulses with an energy density of 0.6 mJ/mm2 were applied with an experimental device to the pseudarthrosis in 52 patients. RESULTS The mean duration of pseudarthrosis was 13 months. A mean of 2.5 surgical interventions had already been performed. Bony union was achieved in 52% of our patients after an average of 3.3 months. Failures especially were found in the atrophic type of pseudarthrosis as well as in congenital bone disorders like fibrous dysplasia or osteogenesis imperfecta. No se…
Hyperplastic callus formation in osteogenesis imperfecta: CT and MRI findings.
1998
Hyperplastic callus formation is a noteworthy condition in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta because it often mimicks osteosarcoma on radiography. The findings of CT and MRI in hyperplastic callus formation have not been reported. In the presented case, MRI demonstrated contrast enhancement and edema of the surrounding soft tisssue, consistent with benign as well as malignant disease. Computed tomography showed a calcified rim of the lesion which may be a useful feature to rule out osteosarcoma in this condition.
