Infection after fracture fixation [PDF]

EFORT Open Reviews, 2019
Infection after fracture fixation is a feared complication in orthopaedic surgery leading to poor bone healing and loss of function. Early detection is essential and interdisciplinary care is mandatory. Eradication of infection is only possible through combined surgical and antibiotic treatment.

Biomechanical Concepts for Fracture Fixation [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2015
Application of the correct fixation construct is critical for fracture healing and long-term stability; however, it is a complex issue with numerous significant factors. This review describes a number of common fracture types and evaluates their currently available fracture fixation constructs.

Application of Far Cortical Locking Technology in Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture Fixation: A Biomechanical Study [PDF]

, 2016
© 2016 Elsevier Inc. Background Lack of fracture movement could be a potential cause of periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) fixation failures. This study aimed to test whether the use of distal far cortical locking screws reduces the overall stiffness ...
