Autologous intramedullary bone graft harvesting as an alternative to conventional harvesting methods Sprong, Francois; Snyckers, Christian Hugo; Birkholtz, Franz Friedrich (Media 24 & South African Orthopaedic Association, 2011)Conventional bone graft harvesting using the iliac crest is often cited as having significant donor site morbidity and complications. A technique has become available in the form of intramedullary harvesting, using a ...

Birkholtz, Franz Friedrich; De Lange, P. (South African Orthopaedic Association, 2016)BACKGROUND : Limb lengthening is performed through distraction osteogenesis after osteotomy and has traditionally been performed using external fixation. The PRECICE® Limb Lengthening System has recently emerged as an ...

Molepo, Maketo; Barnard, Annette-Christi; Birkholtz, Franz Friedrich; Tetsworth, Kevin; Glatt, Vaida; Hohmann, Erik (Springer, 2018-12)PURPOSE : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of failed plate fixation in distal tibia fractures salvaged with hexapod circular fixators. MATERIALS AND METHODS : The database of ...

Birkholtz, Franz Friedrich; Greyling, P. (South African Orthopaedic Association, 2016)Significant bone loss in the forearm involving both the radius and ulna is a difficult problem to manage. The functional outcome may be limited due to loss of pro- and supination. We present a case where significant bone ...

Hohmann, Erik; Birkholtz, Franz Friedrich; Glatt, Vaida; Tetsworth, Kevin (Elsevier, 2017-06)INTRODUCTION : The purpose of this study was to describe a standardized staged approach, “The Road to Union”, for the reconstruction of isolated complex tibial trauma, both acute and chronic in nature. METHODS : This ...
-
Birkholtz, Franz Friedrich (South African Orthopaedic Association / Char Publications, 2009)Limb lengthening using distraction osteogenesis is an established technique; however it is often limited by prolonged external fixation times, with their associated difficulties and complications. A case is presented where ...
