2 Fascial Treatment of the Organs according to Finet and Williame Foundations The body’s fascia consists of connective tissue and forms a continuum. In this context, we can distinguish superficial,…
4 Reflex Point Treatment according to Chapman Definition The Chapman reflex points are “gangliform contractions” in the deeper layers of the fascia. They can be described as small fascial tissue…
Revision surgery of the proximal femur with bone loss secondary to failed cephalomedullary nails is problematic and becoming more prevalent as their use grows. This article presents a technique of…
A thoughtful treatment algorithm is required to optimally treat distal tibia nonunion. A healthy respect for the tenuous soft tissue envelope, compromised vascularity, and challenging mechanical environment is advisable. Achieving…
The Reamer Irrigator Aspirator (RIA) has three main indications in our community trauma practice. The most common indication for RIA is harvesting of autololgous bone graft from the femur for…
Use of the Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator (RIA) as a source of autogenous bone graft in the treatment of nonunions is increasing. We report on our novel technique of using a second filter…
Although the unquestionable value of autologous bone grafting and the analogous value of the reaming by-products in nonunion treatment have been mentioned extensively in the literature, there is ongoing vivid…
Treatment of large segmental defects using conventional autogenous iliac crest bone graft can be limited by volume of cancellous bone and donor site morbidity. The reamer-irrigator-aspirator (RIA) technique allows access…
Bone harvested by intramedullary reaming offers a minimally invasive alternative to harvesting bone from the iliac crest, which has long been considered the gold standard for autogenous bone grafting. The…
