INTERNAL FIXATION OF SCAPHOID FRACTURES

Hand Clinics, 1997
Scaphoid fracture fixation is indicated in certain acute situations and for scaphoid nonunion. Internal fixation requires an understanding of the distinctive scaphoid anatomy with relation to its shape, blood supply, fracture healing, and radiographic evaluation.

Internal Fixation of Osteoporotic Fractures

Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2014
Osteoporosis leads to bone fragility and increased risk of fracture. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, the prevalence continues to rise. Osteoporotic fracture treatment has a unique set of difficulties related to poor bone quality and traditional approaches, and implants may not perform well.

Internal fracture fixation using the Stoppa approach in pelvic ring and acetabular fractures: technical aspects and operative results.

Journal of Trauma, 2006
BACKGROUND The ilioinguinal approach is well established for the treatment of pelvic fractures. As an alternative, the modified Stoppa approach can be used to expose pelvic and acetabular fractures.

Biological internal fixation of fractures

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 1990
Trauma centers treat more and more patients who have sustained multiple injuries during high energy accidents. The techniques of internal fixation of such fractures may be dictated by the concomitant soft tissue trauma, rather than by the bony injury. Three stages of soft tissue injuries are recognised: Stage I delineates compromised soft tissues which

Strategies for surgical approaches in open reduction internal fixation of pilon fractures.

Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2015
Pilon or tibial plafond fractures usually result from high-energy injuries with rotation and/or axial compression. They occur in an area of relatively poor soft tissue coverage and frequently present a surgical challenge in deciding which incisions will ...

Maintenance of hardware after early postoperative infection following fracture internal fixation.

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2010
BACKGROUND The development of a deep wound infection in the presence of hardware after open reduction and internal fixation presents a clinical dilemma, and there is scant literature to aid in decision-making.

Internal fixation of dorsally displaced fractures of the distal part of the radius. A biomechanical analysis of volar plate fracture stability.

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2006
BACKGROUND Volar plate fixation with use of either a locking plate or a neutralization plate has become increasingly popular among surgeons for the treatment of dorsally comminuted extra-articular distal radial fractures. The purpose of the present study

Extensor tendon rupture after internal fixation of a distal radius fracture using a dorsally placed AO/ASIF titanium pi plate. Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Association for the Study of Internal Fixation.

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2000
Extensor tenosynovitis has been reported as a complication of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO/ASIF) pi plate. The authors present a case of extensor tendon rupture after internal fixation

REMOVABLE INTERNAL FIXATION IN FRACTURES

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1931
An analysis of the fracture problem by committees making careful surveys in large groups of cases, during the past few years, has served to establish certain definite principles that must be followed, though methods for carrying out these principles will differ with surgeons according to their training and equipment.

Internal fixation of a capitellar fracture using Herbert screws. A case report.

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986
Fractures of the capitellum can involve a significant portion of the articular surface, rendering the elbow joint unstable. In this situation it is desirable to reduce and internally fix the capitellar fragment, because this restores the articular ...
