Introduction The use of parathyroid hormone in the management of fracture disorders is poorly documented. Aim of study was evaluation of parathyroid hormone efficacy on :union: of tibia/fibula diaphysis fractures. Materials and methods: It was a hospital-based study who conducted on patient with non-:union: or delayed-:union: fracture of tibia/fibula. At Shahid Kamyab hospital, patients with inclusion criteria, entered the study after completing the conscious consent form in both case and control groups. CBC, ESR, Ca, P, Mg, ALK-P, Cr, BUN tests were performed as baseline, then in the case group prescribe oral D-Calcium and monthly injection of parathyroid hormone for 3 months at a daily dose of 8 units and in the control group, prescribe oral D-Calcium and the expected treatment method, and those who had a specific risk factor such as digoxin tablets or kidney failure were excluded from the study. After entering the study and receiving the hormone once the month, patients evaluate with radiographic parameter. Results: Of evaluated cases, mean and standard deviation of age in the intervention group was 16.9 ± 37.7 years and in the control group was 13.8 ± 39.1 years (P = 0.73). In terms of gender in the two groups, 24 cases were male and 6 cases were female (P = 1.0). In addition in clinical findings, fracture type (P = 1.0), fracture shape (P = 0.18), fixation method (P = 0.26), radiographical result (P = 0.06) did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: We not find any positive effect of this hormon on fracture status, as clinical or para clinical evaluation.

Orthopaedics tissues, such as bone, cartilage, and tendon, involve cells that are difficult to culture and grow in vitro for reconstruction of damaged tissues. A small number of cells called stem cells have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into connective tissue lineages, involving bone, cartilage, tendon and ligaments. Recent development in stem cell research has led to an exciting effort in applying stem cells for orthopaedics tissue regeneration. This review summarizes recent findings regarding the potential clinical use of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) in Non:union:s, Osteogenesis imperfect, Human Cartilage defects, Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis to provide a better understanding of the issue engineering with stem cell research, as well as the potential therapeutic purpose of these cells in orthopedic surgery.

Background: Treating open fracture of the femur is problematic. In this study the results of unreamed intramedullary (IM) nailing in this kind of fracture is reviewed.Methods: In a prospective study, 41 patients (40 males, 1 female) with open femur fractures were treated, using the above method, in two hospitals in Meshhad from 2004 to 2006. Fifteen cases could not be followed. The remaining 26 patients, with 28 years mean age (16-45 years) were comprised of 6 type A, 9 B, and 11 type C fractures - according to AO classification. There were 2 type II, and 24 IIIA, Gustillo/Anderson open fractures, with a mean injury severity score (ISS) of 10.96. The cases were followed from 18 to 36 months, and the :::union::: rate, infection rate, and limb function were assessed.Results: Twenty three patients reached :::union::: in 156 days on average (84-250 days). Infection occurred in 2 patients. At the end of the follow-up period, the range of motion of the knee was 120 degrees. Shortening of 3 centimeters was observed in one case.Conclusions: Unreamed intramedullary titanium nailing is effective in treatment of type II and IIIA open femoral fractures.

Background: The likelihood of transmission of hepatitis C virus through a single skin perforation is 2.7 to 10 percent. The serologic test of “Elisa” is about 99 percent sensitive in detecting hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of disease transmission to orthopaedic surgeons or orthopaedic assistants by serologic testing of orthopaedic trauma cases for HCV.Methods: In a one year period (2005-2006), 670 patients who had been admitted to the orthopaedic trauma center of a hospital in Meshhad were tested for HCV by serologic tests with “Elisa” technique.Results: From the 670 tested patients, 22 male and 3 female who had a mean age of 38.7 had positive serology for HCV. This would mean 3.9 percent male and 2.8 percent female prevalence.Conclusions: A worrisome number of patients with orthopaedic trauma are serologically positive for hepatitis C. Protective measures are, therefore, essential for all the people who handle orthopaedic trauma.
