Abstract

Purpose

Despite the popularity and an increased use of bone morphogenetic protein to improve bone healing in patients with congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia (CPT), no previous study has compared its efficacy against any other procedure.

Methods

We randomised 20 consecutive patients (mean age 4.1 years) with CPT (Crawford type IV) associated with neurofibromatosis type 1(NF1) and no previous history of surgery into two groups. Group 1 received recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7 (rhBMP-7) along with intramedullary Kirschner (K)-wire fixation and autologous bone grafting; group 2 received only K wire and grafting. Outcome measures were time to achieve union, Johnston grade, tibial length and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, which were evaluated preoperatively and at five year follow-up.

Results

Study results showed that patients in group 1 achieved primary bone union at a mean of 14.5 months [standard error (SE) 5.2], whereas group 2 took a mean of 17.11 months (SE 5.0). However, the log-rank test showed no difference in healing times between groups at all time points (P = 0.636). There was a statistically significant pre- to post operative improvement (P < 0.05) within groups for the other outcome measures.

Conclusion

In a five year follow-up, these results suggest that rh-BMP-7 and autologous bone grafting is no better than autologous grafting alone.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

28.05.2024 Traumatologische Notfälle Nachrichten

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
