Preliminary experience with EBA ONE intramedullary nail for the treatment of pertrochanteric fractures
Background and aim of the study: The Authors report their preliminary experience with a new fixation device for treatment of pertrochanteric fractures. The EBA ONE nail, produced by Citieffe in Bologna-Italy. Materials: Between April 2019 and August 2019 in Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of Piacenza, 11 patients (all female) with stable and unstable pattern of fractures, were treated with the EBA ONE intramedullary nail. Results: Despite the limited number of cases and the assence of a complete follow-up, the initial results are very encouraging. None of the reported complications were linked to the fixation device or to the surgical technique. Conclusions: The minimal, simple and intuitive instrumentation set and the simplicity of the surgical procedure make this fixation device valuable for use in stable fractures. The possibility to distal locking the nail, either statically or dynamically, and the availability of a longer nail make this device also effective in more complex fractures. (www.actabiomedica.it)
High tibial osteotomy with external fixator in the varus gonarthritic knee
High tibial osteotomy is a simple and safe method to correct the varus gonarthritic knee. Numerous follow-up studies have demonstrated that this procedure gives satisfactory functional results for 10-15 years after surgery, above all if a precise valgus hypercorrection of 8°-10° is carried out. The present study attempts to deal with another, less discussed topic: evaluation of the efficacy of external fixation after osteotomy synthesis with respect to the most common plate and screw synthesis as well as to the Insall procedure
