Anatomical Considerations of Intramedullary Humeral Nailing and Lengthening.

Journal of clinical medicine

Schwarz GM, Zak L, Hirtler L, Wozasek GE.
PMID: 32188086
J Clin Med. 2020 Mar 16;9(3). doi: 10.3390/jcm9030806.

Intramedullary lengthening, in cases of extensive humeral shortening, offers the advantages of preventing external-fixator-associated problems. The humeral cavity, as the main parameter in nailing, however, has been neglected in recent literature. It was hypothesized that available implants might be...

Traumatic periimplant fracture after nail arthrodesis of the knee in a limb reconstruction case.

Trauma case reports

Trauma Case Rep. 2019 Feb 08;20:100173. doi: 10.1016/j.tcr.2019.100173. eCollection 2019 Apr.

Many principles of bone reconstruction were successfully applied in this unique case of a 1.92m (6 ft 3 in.) tall 15 year old boy with intercalary leg amputation. This patient suffered from a 26 cm (10.2 in.) bone loss...

The influence of advanced age in bone healing after intramedullary limb lengthening.

Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR

Zak L, Arnhold R, Tiefenboeck TM, Wozasek GE.
PMID: 34536594
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res. 2021 Dec;107(8):103055. doi: 10.1016/j.otsr.2021.103055. Epub 2021 Sep 15.

BACKGROUND: Distraction osteogenesis with an intramedullary motorized nail is a well-established method to treat leg length discrepancy (LLD). The complex process of bone consolidation is affected by age, location, comorbidities, smoking and gender. The purpose of this case series...

Bone reconstruction: Subjective evaluation and objective analysis based on conventional digital X-rays - a retrospective evaluation.

Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR

Zak L, Tiefenboeck TM, Wozasek GE.
PMID: 34583012
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res. 2021 Dec;107(8):103081. doi: 10.1016/j.otsr.2021.103081. Epub 2021 Sep 25.

BACKGROUND: Various approaches have been used to evaluate callus stiffness in distraction osteogenesis. This assessment becomes even more critical as inadequate corticalization and premature removal of the frame lead to bending, refracture, and loss of length. This study aimed...

[Lesions of lateral ligaments of ankle joint in sports.].

Acta chirurgiae orthopaedicae et traumatologiae Cechoslovaca

Orljanski W, Gatterer R, Wozasek GE, Schabus R.
PMID: 20470602
Acta Chir Orthop Traumatol Cech. 1997;64(2):83-5.

Lesions of the lateral ankle ligaments are most common injuries in sportsmen. Expecially games of ball and racket are of highest risk. Diagnosis consists of a comprehensive clinical examination including tests of stability as well as radiographs to exclude...

Computed Tomography in Limb Salvage and Deformity Correction-3D Assessment, Indications, Radiation Exposure, and Safety Considerations.

Journal of clinical medicine

Zak L, Tiefenboeck TM, Wozasek GE.
PMID: 34501227
J Clin Med. 2021 Aug 24;10(17). doi: 10.3390/jcm10173781.

Computed tomography (CT) is an essential tool in orthopedic surgery but is known to be a method with that entails radiation exposure. CT increases the risk of developing fatal cancer, which should not be underestimated. However, patients with bone...

Limb salvage in a partially amputated distal femur with extensive segmental bone loss using the nailing after lengthening technique: a case report.

Strategies in trauma and limb reconstruction

Wozasek GE.
PMID: 25754024
Strategies Trauma Limb Reconstr. 2015 Apr;10(1):59-63. doi: 10.1007/s11751-015-0212-8. Epub 2015 Mar 10.

Segmental long bone defects resulting from high-energy trauma with severe soft tissue loss are difficult problems to manage. Amputation was for a long time the primary mainstay of treatment. This is the report on a 15-year-old male patient who...

Intramedullary Bone Lengthening Following Preceding Hip Surgery-A Case Series.

Journal of clinical medicine

Zak L, Tiefenboeck TM, Wozasek GE.
PMID: 33352720
J Clin Med. 2020 Dec 19;9(12). doi: 10.3390/jcm9124104.

Limb length discrepancy (LLD) is a common problem after joint-preserving hip surgeries, hip dysplasia, and hip deformities. Limping, pain, sciatica, paresthesia, and hip instability are common clinical findings and may necessitate limb-lengthening procedures. The study included five patients (two...
