Fracture Fixation

RadioGraphics, 2003
The basic goal of fracture fixation is to stabilize the fractured bone, to enable fast healing of the injured bone, and to return early mobility and full function of the injured extremity. Fractures can be treated conservatively or with external and internal fixation.

Olecranon Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2008
Approximately 10% of fractures about the adult elbow consist of fractures of the olecranon process of the ulna and range from simple nondisplaced fractures to complex fracture-dislocations of the elbow. Several treatment options for internal fixation have been described, including tension-band wiring, plate fixation, intramedullary screw fixation, and ...

FRACTURE BLISTERS

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1995
Fracture blisters can pose a problem when dealing with trauma. The potential to increase the complication rate, delay surgery, and prolong wound healing are possible sequelae. Edema has to be controlled, however, because the blisters can form in spite of ice, elevation, and compression. They may also appear even after prompt ORIF.

Fractures and Fracture Dislocations

1987
Since Callisen first described a central acetabular fracture in 1788,9 the optimal form of management has remained controversial. Admittedly, there is a consensus that a minimally displaced acetabular fracture without dislocation of the femoral head has an excellent prognosis when it is managed nonoperatively by bed rest or by a short period of ...

Wrist Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2002
The benefits of a well-reduced and well-healed wrist fracture are predictable. This knowledge has prompted the development of myriad treatment methods and fixation devices. The choice of open versus closed reduction and the devices used to maintain that reduction could most often be determined with a well-defined and reproducible closed reduction ...
