“…The complication rate using the conventional methods is reported to be between 4 and 33% for major complications [11; 49] and up to 44% including minor complications [49]. Lari et al [50] reported in his review article a complication rate of 14% after distal radius fractures involving the volar rim. In our study we recorded 4 complications (36%) in the conventional group, 2 non-unions, 1 partial union and 1 case of screw loosening.…”

Introduction: The cause of pseudarthrosis is the interaction of various biological and biomechanical factors with systemic and local interactions. Successful therapy consists of a combination of optimizing mechanical stability and activating biological factors. The conventional method for treating non-union is debridement and stabilization with metal hardware. But it leads to complications and a potential second operation for hardware removal. The human allogeneic cortical bone screw (Shark Screw®) provides a close contact between allograft and host bone, which is required for revascularisation and bone healing. The Shark Screw® merges human cortical bone properties with screw stability, addressing non-union surgery principles by integrating mechanical and biological aspects. Material and Methods: The retrospective-multi-center study included 31 patients, 11treated with the conventional method(metal hardware ± graft) and 20 patients with the Shark Screw® (±graft). Patient demographics, non-union location, autograft and/or allograft use, follow-up time, complications, union-rate, time-to-union and time-to-return to work were recorded. Results: Follow-up was 17 months in the conventional group and 12 months in the Shark Screw® group. The union rate was 72.7% in the conventional group and 95.0% in the Shark Screw® group. Time to union was significantly shorter in the Shark Screw® group with 12 weeks in comparison to 39 weeks in the conventional group. Conclusion The Shark Screw® presents a reliable option for treating non-unions in the shoulder, forearm, hand, and fingers. It demonstrates a low complication rate. The human allogeneic cortical bone screw (Shark Screw®) combines both stability and biology with a single transplant. The socioeconomic effect is another advantage using the Shark Screw®.

“…The hardware removal rates were reported with 7.5% [52], 20% [11], 22% [50] and 65% [17]. Removal of internal xation is described with an incidence of 1.92/100000 person years and 20,385 cases between 2007-2019 [8].…”

“…It seems radiologically obvious that reoperation to remove the material will be necessary after consolidation, at the risk of damaging the soft tissues. 3 In our practice, we believe there are two types of "hook" plate: subarticular hooks and supra-articular hooks (►Fig. 1).…”
