Summary

Plate-assisted bone segment transport (PABST) and the Precice Bone Transport (PBT) nail offer alternatives to external fixation for long bone defects. Both methods have pros and cons, with PBT not fully replacing PABST, especially for metaphyseal segments.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Segmental long bone defects pose significant challenges in orthopaedics, often resulting from trauma, tumors, or infections.
  • Traditional bone transport methods utilize external fixation, which carries risks of complications.
  • Plate-assisted bone segment transport (PABST) and the Precice Bone Transport (PBT) nail have emerged as alternatives to external fixation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state and evidence regarding PABST and the PBT nail for managing segmental long bone defects.
  • To compare the advantages and disadvantages of PABST and the PBT nail.
  • To identify areas for future optimization in bone transport techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and evidence on PABST and PBT nail for bone transport.
  • Analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of each technique compared to traditional external fixation.
  • Discussion of specific challenges, such as maintaining alignment in metaphyseal segments.

Main Results:

  • Both PABST and the PBT nail eliminate the need for external fixation, reducing associated complications.
  • Each technique presents unique advantages and disadvantages.
  • The PBT nail does not entirely supersede PABST, particularly for short metaphyseal segments where alignment can be difficult.

Conclusions:

  • PABST and the PBT nail are viable alternatives to frame-based bone transport.
  • Execution requires precision, offering less room for correction during transport.
  • Further cases and data are needed to optimize protocols for both PABST and PBT nail utilization.
