| Research Abstract |
We created and evaluated a new minimally invasive treatment that we call percutaneous osteoplasty for pathological fractures of long bones. This is designed for patients who cannot be treated with orthopedic surgery. In vivo in swine, we did the percutaneous osteoplasty with the use of a bone marrow nail and evaluated them. In vitro, we evaluated the three kinds of the percutaneous treatment of fractured long bones.
Percutaneous osteoplasty with use of a bone marrow nail and cement augmentation appears to have potential in treating fractures of non-weight-bearing long bones.
