LCP external fixation - External application of an internal fixator: two cases and a review of the literature

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2010
The locking compression plate (LCP) is an angle-stable fixator intended for intracorporeal application. In selected cases, it can be applied externally in an extracorporeal location to function as a monolateral external fixator.

Antibiotic-impregnated cement-coated intramedullary nail in primary fixation of compound fractures of tibial shaft – A comparative study with external fixator in terms of infection control

Journal of Orthopaedic Diseases and Traumatology, 2023
Introduction: Compound tibial shaft fractures are conventionally managed by debridement and primary stabilization by external fixators, followed by definitive fixation after the wound healing; however, many problems such as infection, difficult soft ...

Posterior tibial slope is linearly related to anteroposterior shift of the tibiofemoral contact mechanics: A biomechanical study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the changes in tibiofemoral contact mechanics following an infra‐tubercle slope‐modifying osteotomy. Methods An infra‐tubercle slope‐modifying osteotomy was performed on eight fresh‐frozen cadaveric knees and fixed with an external fixator, which allowed for accurate slope adjustments from 15° to 0° in 5° increments. The
