    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les auteurs décrivent une nouvelle prothèse fémorale modulaire associant une prothèse conventionnelle et un clou centro-médullaire. La prothèse est constituée d’une pièce céphalique et d’une partie diaphysaire fixées ensemble par un cône morse. Chaque pièce est modulaire selon les besoins en longueur et en diamètre. L’antéversion de la pièce céphalique est libre. Les pièces diaphysaires ont une courbure sagittale anatomique et sont creuses, permettant l’utilisation d’un guide centro-médullaire. Les pièces diaphysaires longues peuvent être verrouillées. Les pièces céphalique et diaphysaire sont en alliage de titane et la pièce diaphysaire a une surface grenaillée dans sa partie proximale. Le cône morse a été optimisé par l’adjonction d’une rainure qui a diminué l’usure par abrasion lors des tests de fatigue. Aucun démontage de la jonction intraprothétique et aucune fracture dé tige n’a été rencontrée lors de c es tests. La technique opératoire n’offre aucune particularité. Cent vingtquatre prothèses ont été implantées depuis 1990, principalement pour des fractures du col fémoral et des changements de prothèses totales de hanche. Les résultats cliniques sont en cours d’investigation. D’autres indications plus rares ont été choisies : pseudarthrose per-trochantérienne, fracture sur coxarthrose, chirurgie métastatique. Cette prothèse permet un ancrage diaphysaire stable dans les pertes de substance de l’extrémité supérieure du fémur, et autorise ainsi la repousse osseuse dans cette zone, spontanée ou après greffe osseuse, et la fixation proximale secondaire. L’optimisation du cône morse a permis de diminuer de façon considérable l’usure par abrasion. La modularité de la prothèse permet de s’adapter à toutes les morphologies et toutes les situations cliniques.
    Notes: Summary The development and clinical indications of a new modular femoral endoprosthesis consisting of a head and shaft component is discribed. Components are available in different lengths and diameters and therefore can be joined individually depending on the patients anatomy and surgery required. Both parts are joined by a unique optimized taper socket with a groove, avoiding fretting and corosion. Fatigue tests showed no loosening of the tapered connection and no prosthesis fracture. The advantage of this new modular prosthesis is diaphyseal stabilization, if necessairy by two distal interlocking screwes. Indications are revisions, pertrochanteric femoral and neoplastic fractures if cementless bridging of boney defects in the calcar region must be achieved. Further indications are femoral neck fraktures and coxarthrosis if stable diaphyseal fixation is required. The material and surface structure as well as the philosophie of the distal fixation are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Modern concepts of treating thoracic and lumbar spinal trauma are based on posterior transpedicular fixation techniques which confer angular stability and instrument only a few levels of the spine. In addition, to prevent secondary losses in postoperative reduction of kyphotic deformities, transpedicular resection of torn dises, and inter-and intracorporeal bone grafting are included in the repair procedures for the entire damaged motion segment. However, due to the small size of the pedicles, a transpedicular approach to the injured vertebral body is not possible in the upper thoracic spine. Patients whose thoracic spine trauma is not serious enough to require ventral instrumentation through open thoracotomy, but who present with an unstable vertebral fracture, may profit from additional ventral bone grafting to stabilize the fracture. The present study examined the feasibility of thoracoscopic ventral bone grafting in seven patients with unstable fractures of the upper thoracic spine. For primary repair, we stabilized the fracture by using posterior transpedicular screw systems (rods or plates). Simultaneously, spongiosa was harvested from the posterior iliac crest and deepfrozen. Repair was completed a few days later via a ventral thoracoscopic approach. The main location of the ventral osseous defect was identified by intraoperative radiology. After mechanical removal of destroyed connective tissue and disc material, fusion was performed using the previously harvested spongiosa, which was placed into the intervertebral disc space and the anterior osseous defect. Our results show thoracoscopic bone grafting to be technically possible and associated with low morbidity, with a potential of yielding satisfactory long-term results.

    Notes: Abstract Osteotomies of the distal femur were fixed with two self-reinforced poly-L-lactic acid (SR-PLLA) plates and metallic screws placed through the plates on each side of the femur in 23 adult rabbits. They were followed-up after 3, 6, 12 and 24 weeks. After killing, radiological, histological, microradiographic and oxytetracycline fluorescence studies were performed. Except for one histologically confirmed fibrotic non-union at 24 weeks, the osteotomies healed, including one involving a rabbit which had suffered an ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture of unknown cause. No malformations were observed, and the macroscopically detected swelling was a normal postoperative reaction. This study showed that SR-PLLA plates implanted on both sides on the bone are suitable for the fixation of weight-bearing cancellous bone osteotomies in rabbits.

    Notes: Lorenz Böhler schreibt in seinem Vorwort der ersten Auflage der “Technik der Knochenbruchheilung” (1929): “Da die Ergebnisse der Behandlung nicht überall gute sind, suchte ich die Fehler zu finden, welche an den Mißerfolgen die Schuld tragen.” Die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit den Ursachen einer Komplikation ist Teil der Qualitätssicherung und dient über ihre Rückwirkung in der täglichen chirurgischen Praxis der Qualitätsverbesserung. Im folgenden sollen die vielschichtigen Ursachen für Komplikationen aufgezeigt werden. Es wird dargelegt, auf welchen Ebenen Komplikationen entstehen, wie Wege zur Komplikationsvermeidung gefunden werden können und wie im Einzelfall ein Komplikationsmanagement aussehen kann. Ziel ist es, ein Qualitäts- und Komplikationsbewußtsein zu entwickeln.

    Notes: Osteotomies of distal femur were fixed by intraosseous self-reinforced poly-L-lactic acid (SR-PLLA) plates in 29 adult rabbits. The follow-up times were from 3 to 24 weeks. After sacrifice, radiological, histological, microradiographic, and oxytetracycline fluorescence studies were performed. Although radiographically no redisplacements were found, in 12 weeks two fixations were broken and a fibrotic nonunion was observed in one case. At 24 weeks full bone consolidation was seen in all except one osteotomy. No foreign-body reactions were observed. The present article is the first report on successful application of absorbable plates for intraosseous fixation of weight-bearing bone osteotomies. The present investigation demonstrated that the SR-PLLA plates were suitable for the fixation of cancellous bone osteotomies in rabbits.
