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

open access: yesBMC 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 ...

External fixator configurations in tibia fractures: 1D optimization and 3D analysis comparison [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The use of external fixation devices in orthopedic surgery is very common in open tibial fractures. A properly applied fixator may improve the healing process while one improperly applied might delay the healing process.

VEGF with AMD3100 Endogenously Mobilizes Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Improves Fracture Healing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A significant number of fractures develop non‐union. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy may be beneficial, however, this requires cell acquisition, culture and delivery. Endogenous mobilization of stem cells offers a non‐invasive alternative.

A novel fixation method for panfacial fracture using an Ilizarov-type external fixator

open access: yesTrauma Case Reports, 2019
In general, internal plate fixation is mainly performed in order to reduce multiple facial bone fractures and rarely uses an external fixator. Although it would be ideal to successfully achieve or preserve the occlusal relationship of the upper and lower
