Re: Distal femur non union
Jeff Brooks 27 Ноябрь 2007, 20:25
Mark Brinker's group published a very thought-provoking article in a recent (<6 mos) J.O.T. that showed significant metabolic abnormalities in patients with nonunions that "should have" otherwise healed, as this "should have". (they had specific criteria for inclusion in the 'should have' group). I forget the exact distribution of abnormalities but they included most frequently Vitamin D deficiency, abnormalities of calcium and parathyroid function, and some other metabolic problems.

Bottom line in my opinion: be sure this young healthy kid is thoroughly worked up metabolically before any more surgery.

PS - I can send the .pdf of that article if you want to see it.

    >>significant metabolic abnormalities in patients with nonunions

    Interesting, but does this 16 y o patient (who apparently healed all his other fxs) meet the criteria for metabolic/endocrine screening
    suggested in the Brinker article "Metabolic and Endocrine Abnormalities in Patients with Nonunions: Have We Been Missing the Boat?" See
    http://www.hwbf.org/ota/am/ota07/otapa/OTA070315.htm

    Also see exchange nailing comments of Bob Winquist and Mike Chapman
    from OTA BFC
    http://www.hwbf.org/ota/bfc/chapm/ft012.html

    and if that doesn't work, another Brinker article to consider - "Ilizarov compression over a nail for aseptic femoral nonunions that have failed exchange nailing: a report of five cases." JOT 2003
    Nov-Dec;17(10):668-76.
