The results of locked intramedullary nailing for non-union of forearm bones.
We report our experience with the use of a full-thickness corticocancellous iliac-crest graft, 1 to 5 centimeters in length - to treat established nonunion of the radius and/or ulna. ⋯ Intramedullary nailing in treatment for forearm bones nonunion with use corticocancellous graft is technically easy, didn't require immobilization in the cast and enable early postoperative rehabilitation.

Cemented primary total arthroplasty for acetabular protrusion in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The degenerative changes in hip joints observed in patients RA are associated with acetabular bone deficiencies. Therefore total hip arthroplasty performed in such patients requires bone grafting to restore the deficiencies. The aim of the study was to assess the long term-term results of primary total hip arthroplasty in patients with RA including an assessment of the usefulness of auto-and allograft in restoring bone deficiencies in acetabular protrusion. ⋯ Restoration of bone deficiencies in the medial part of the acetabulum in patients with RA by bone grafting is a biological way of reconstruction of the bone and facilitates stable fixation of a polyethylene acetabulum.
