A mini-invasive procedure for treating arthrofibrosis of the knee.
The aim of this study was to introduce the results of a novel mini-invasive operative technique comprising mini-incision release, "pie-crusting" lengthening of the quadriceps extensor, and arthroscopic lysis in severe arthrofibrotic knees. ⋯ Mini-invasive quadricepsplasty-associated arthroscopic lysis and manipulation of the knee in flexion is simple and easy and should be considered as a legitimate treatment for arthrofibrosis of the knee.

Comparative StudyAugmentative locking plate with autologous bone grafting for distal femoral nonunion subsequent to failed retrograde intramedullary nailing.
To explore the indications and efficacy of augmentative locking compression plate (LCP) or less invasive stabilization system (LISS)with autogenous bone grafting (BG) in treating distal femoral nonunion subsequent to failed retrograde intramedullary nailing (RIN). ⋯ We suggest augmentative LCP, for distal femoral nonunios after RIN, may be optimal for that of typeAO33A fractures, whereas augmentative LISS for that of typeAO33C fractures more.
