Biomechanical stability of a supra-acetabular pedicle screw Internal Fixation device (INFIX) vs External Fixation and plates for vertically unstable pelvic fractures [PDF]
Background We have recently developed a subcutaneous anterior pelvic fixation technique (INFIX). This internal fixator permits patients to sit, roll over in bed and lie on their sides without the cumbersome external appliances or their complications. The

Distal tibial pilon fractures (AO/OTA type B, and C) treated with the external skeletal and minimal internal fixation method [PDF]
Background/Aim. Distal tibial pilon fractures include extra-articular fractures of the tibial metaphysis and the more severe intra-articular tibial pilon fractures. There is no universal method for treating distal tibial pilon fractures.

External fixation combined with limited internal fixation in the treatment of pilon tibia fractures [PDF]
Background/Aim. Intraarticular fractures of the tibial plafond (pilon fractures) belong to the group of most severe fractures. They are usually caused by high-energy trauma and frequently associated with a marked soft-tissue damage.

Comparison of Outcomes of Operatively Treated Bicondylar Tibial Plateau Fractures by External Fixation and Internal Fixation [PDF]
The outcome of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated with either external fixation (35 patients) or internal fixation (24 patients) was reviewed. Outcome measures included the Rasmussen score, clinical complications, development of osteoarthritis ...

The role of hinged external fixation in the treatment of knee dislocation, subluxation and fracture‐dislocation: A systematic review of indications [PDF]
Purpose While rigid knee‐spanning external fixation is more commonly utilized in the treatment of complex knee injuries compared to hinged external fixation (HEF), HEF has the added benefit of providing stability while also permitting early controlled ...

Mechanical testing of a device for subcutaneous internal anterior pelvic ring fixation versus external pelvic ring fixation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although useful in the emergency treatment of pelvic ring injuries, external fixation is associated with pin tract infections, the patient’s limited mobility and a restricted surgical accessibility to the lower abdomen.
