ACUTE FRACTURE OF THE FEMORAL NECK: INTERNAL FIXATION OR PROSTHESIS?

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 1964
In viewof the increasing popularity of prostheses in treating acute displaced fractures of the femoral neck, it would he ‘ell to consider the results w’hich we have 1)eeil able to obtain with internal fixation in order to help us decide which patients ...

Internal Fixation of Sacral Fractures

1996
Progress in fracture care continues to improve the treatment of the severely injured patient. Early stabilization of fractures permits patients to be moved; this reduces the risk of pulmonary complications, sepsis, and death. For many fractures, the patient’s rehabilitation and final function are also improved after successful internal fixation ...

Fracture Biology, Biomechanics, and Internal Fixation

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1996
The success of orthopedic surgery in ruminants is directly related to the surgeon's knowledge and understanding of bone physiology and mechanics. The relationship of the macro and micro structure and function of bone as it relates to fracture physiology and repair is discussed.

Internal Fixation of Fresh Fractures

1998
Fractures of the scapula can be classified into four groups on the basis of the anatomic structures involved: 1. Fractures of the glenoid (articular surface) 2. Fractures of the neck 3. Fractures of the acromion 4.

Strength of internal fixation for calcaneal fractures

Clinical Biomechanics, 1998
OBJECTIVE: To compare the strength of two types of fixation method for calcaneal fractures. DESIGN: A biomechanical testing examined the stability of 12 fractured calcaneal specimens fixed with two different methods. BACKGROUND: Though anatomic reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus has become ...

The merit of sintered PDLLA/TCP composites in management of bone fracture internal fixation.

Artificial Organs, 1999
Polyesters based on lactic acid have been reported in terms of safety and biodegradation in human beings for 2 decades. The greatest advantage of such material is its degradation conducted only by hydrolysis, whereby the ester backbones are supposed to ...

Biomechanics of Femoral Neck Fractures and Implications for Fixation.

Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2019
Fractures of the femoral neck can occur in young healthy individuals due to high loads occurring during motor vehicle accidents, impacts, or falls. Failure forces are lower if impacts occur sideways onto the greater trochanter as compared with vertical ...

Screw Fixation Versus Hemiarthroplasty for Nondisplaced Femoral Neck Fractures in Elderly Patients: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2019
Background: Elderly patients with a displaced femoral neck fracture treated with hip arthroplasty may have better function than those treated with internal fixation. We hypothesized that hemiarthroplasty would be superior to screw fixation with regard to

INTERNAL FIXATION FOR UNSTABLE ANKLE FRACTURES

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1964
Two hundred and thirty-two ankle fractures were treated in the orthopaedic department of the Royal Portsmouth Hospital between 1959 and 1960. Seventy-one fractures treated by internal fixation with screws have been seen at follow-up examination. Results show that open reduction, secure and accurate internal fixation and early movement without plaster ...
