Treatment of Pathological Fracture of Radius due to Multiple Myeloma with Elastic Intramedullary Nail and Cement Augmentation: Expanding the Indications of Elastic Nails.
Pathological fractures of the proximal radius are exceedingly rare. Here, a case of an 81-year-old female diagnosed with multiple myeloma 15 years ago who suffered a pathological fracture of her left proximal radius is presented. Due to the fracture's proximity to the elbow joint and the lack of adjacent healthy bone tissue, a resourceful surgical intervention was implemented using a pediatric flexible nail supplemented by polymethacrylate cement injection. Six weeks post-operatively, the patient had alleviation of the pain with fully functional forearm. This novel approach could possibly aid in the treatment of other long bone pathological fractures due to neoplastic metastases.
期刊介绍:
MEDICAL IMPLANTS are being used in every organ of the human body. Ideally, medical implants must have biomechanical properties comparable to those of autogenous tissues without any adverse effects. In each anatomic site, studies of the long-term effects of medical implants must be undertaken to determine accurately the safety and performance of the implants. Today, implant surgery has become an interdisciplinary undertaking involving a number of skilled and gifted specialists. For example, successful cochlear implants will involve audiologists, audiological physicians, speech and language therapists, otolaryngologists, nurses, neuro-otologists, teachers of the deaf, hearing therapists, cochlear implant manufacturers, and others involved with hearing-impaired and deaf individuals.
