Risk of Fracture at External Fixator Pin Hole After Lateral Tibial Plateau Fracture Plating [PDF]

JBJS Open Access
Background:. External fixation of tibial plateau fractures commonly provides temporary stabilization before definitive fixation with plate and screws. The purpose of this study was to determine if an external fixator pin hole distal to a tibial plate in ...

The mechanical test as a supplemental decision support tool for the safe removal of an Ilizarov circular external fixator [PDF]

European Journal of Medical Research
Background Timing the fixator removal is vital for a successful external fixation treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of axial load–share ratio in vivo as a supplemental decision support tool for the safe removal of an

Reduction and fixation of comminuted fractures of the midface by using a Hoffman-type external fixator: A case report

JPRAS Open, 2022
Internal fixation using plates remains the gold standard for facial fracture fixation. External wound fixators are rarely used. In the present study, we successfully treated multiple comminuted facial fractures with midfacial depressions by using a ...

Investigating the biomechanical function of the plate-type external fixator in the treatment of tibial fractures: a biomechanical study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background The design of an external fixator with the optimal biomechanical function and the lowest profile has been highly pursued, as fracture healing is dependent on the stability and durability of fixation, and a low profile is more desired by ...

External fixator‐assisted plating osteosynthesis in a rabbit model of femoral bone defects appears to be a feasible and reproducible surgical technique: preliminary insights from a bone substitute study

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2023
Purpose The aims of this study were to assess the complications associated with the use of an external fixator‐assisted plate osteosynthesis technique to stabilize a femoral bone defect in a rabbit model and to evaluate if this technique could avoid the ...

Osteosynthesis of fractures after elbow ankylosis treated with an Ilizarov external ring fixator: A case report

Trauma Case Reports, 2020
Treatment with an Ilizarov ring external fixator is less invasive of soft tissues than is open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) surgery. Operative treatment of fractures with an Ilizarov ring external fixator after elbow ankylosis has not been ...

Biomechanical study of the stiffness of the femoral locking compression plate of an external fixator for lower tibial fractures

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Background A locking compression plate (LCP) of the distal femur is used as an external fixator for lower tibial fractures. However, in clinical practice, the technique lacks a standardized approach and a strong biomechanical basis for its stability ...
