“…Orthopaedic implants such as intramedullary nails, external fixators, plates, and screws are most commonly used devices in the orthopaedics practice especially in the treatment of fracture cases [1][2][3]. In addition to fractures, they can also be used in bone deformity corrections, bone lengthening, and reconstructions following bone resections [4,5].…”

Variables Affecting Fusion Rates in the Rat Posterolateral Spinal Fusion Model with Autogenic/Allogenic Bone Grafts: A Meta-analysis

et al. 2016

The rat posterolateral spinal fusion model with autogenic/allogenic bone graft (rat PFABG) has been increasingly utilized as an experimental model to assess the efficacy of novel fusion treatments. The objective of this study was to investigate the reliability of the rat PFABG model and examine the effects of different variables on spinal fusion. A web-based literature search from January, 1970 to September, 2015, yielded 26 studies, which included 40 rat PFABG control groups and 449 rats. Data regarding age, weight, sex, and strain of rats, graft volume, graft type, decorticated levels, surgical approach, institution, the number of control rats, fusion rate, methods of fusion assessment, and timing of fusion assessment were collected and analyzed. The primary outcome variable of interest was fusion rate, as evaluated by manual palpation. Fusion rates varied widely, from 0 to 96%. The calculated overall fusion rate was 46.1% with an I value of 62.4, which indicated moderate heterogeneity. Weight>300 g, age >14 weeks, male rat, Sprague-Dawley strain, and autogenic coccyx grafts increased fusion rates with statistical significance. Additionally, an assessment time-point ≥8 weeks had a trend towards statistical significance (p = 0.070). Multi-regression analysis demonstrated that timing of assessment and age as continuous variables, as well as sex as a categorical variable, can predict the fusion rate with R = 0.82. In an inter-institution reliability analysis, the pooled overall fusion rate was 50.0% [44.8, 55.3%], with statistically significant differences among fusion outcomes at different institutions (p< 0.001 and I of 72.2). Due to the heterogeneity of fusion outcomes, the reliability of the rat PFABG model was relatively limited. However, selection of adequate variables can optimize its use as a control group in studies evaluating the efficacy of novel fusion therapies.

Background: Many anatomic, cadaver studies have shown safe anterior and anterolateral percutaneous plating of the humerus; however, there is paucity of information on this in clinical case series. The aim of the current study was to assess outcome of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis in complex metaphyseal-diaphyseal humeral fractures. Methods: Eighteen patients with acute, complex, proximal humeral fractures with diaphyseal extension were operated on using a long proximal humeral plate through a percutaneous minimally invasive technique. Results: Union was obtained in all patients with good alignment and good shoulder and elbow function. The average time to union was 15 wk (range, 9-21 wk). Two patients developed postoperative radial nerve palsy that recovered after 3 wk in the first and 9 wk in the second patient. There were no obvious neurovascular injuries or major complications. Conclusions: Mini-invasive percutaneous plating of complex metaphyseal-diaphyseal humeral fractures is feasible and safe and has good clinical outcomes.

Humeral surface anatomy and percutaneous plate advancement: a cadaveric study

Abstract: 5FU can inhibit fusion, fibrosis and unwanted scar tissue in spinal surgery. We believe that after further studies on its local delivery dose, it can be used in humans for inhibition of unintended fusion.
