Biomechanical stability of a supra-acetabular pedicle screw Internal Fixation device (INFIX) vs External Fixation and plates for vertically unstable pelvic fractures [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2012
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]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2013
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]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2007
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.

The role of hinged external fixation in the treatment of knee dislocation, subluxation and fracture‐dislocation: A systematic review of indications [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics
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 ...

External fixation in tumour pathology [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 1998
An appraisal of the clinical records of patients with malignant bone tumours enabled us to identify 61 whom we have treated by external fixation. There were 38 males and 23 females with ages ranging from 4 to 58 years, the mean being 14 years. The average period of follow-up was 6 years (1-12 years).

Mechanical testing of a device for subcutaneous internal anterior pelvic ring fixation versus external pelvic ring fixation [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2014
BackgroundAlthough 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.

Comparative analysis of dynamic external fixation, static external fixation, and internal fixation in interphalangeal joint fractures: outcomes, complications, and clinical implications [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background and objective Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) fractures present significant therapeutic challenges in hand surgery. This systematic review evaluated the comparative efficacy of dynamic external fixation against traditional treatment ...

A systematic review of incidence of pin track infections associated with external fixation

Journal of Limb Lengthening & Reconstruction, 2016
Depending on the reference, pin track infection rates in external fixation surgery have been stated to be anywhere from 0% to 100%. We critically evaluated the pin track infection rate for external fixation by performing systematic review of the external

Treatment of open tibial diaphyseal fractures by external fixation combined with limited internal fixation versus simple external fixation: a retrospective cohort study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background The treatment of open tibial shaft fractures is challenging. External fixation (EF) is comparatively safe in treating these open injuries, meanwhile it has the advantages of easy application, minimal additional disruption, and convenient ...

External fixation of “intertrochanteric” fractures

Orthopedic Reviews, 2009
In developing countries, due to limited availability of modern anesthesia and overcrowding of the hospitals with patients who need surgery, high-risk patients with “intertro-chanteric” fractures remain unsuitable for open reduction and internal fixation.
