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.

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

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 in Pediatric Maxillofacial Fractures

Facial Plastic Surgery, 1998
Pediatric facial trauma presents unique problems in diagnosis and management. The following review highlights relevant points of craniofacial growth and applied anatomy. The epidemiology of pediatric facial fractures is presented followed by pertinent features of clinical presentation and diagnosis.

Internal Fixation of Pelvic Ring Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1989
The orthopedic care of unstable pelvic fractures requires reduction and stabilization in order to promote union in a satisfactory position and provide a satisfactory clinical result. The results of three treatment techniques, skeletal traction and/or pelvic sling, anterior frame external fixation, and internal fixation, were evaluated over a four-year ...

Internal fixation of fractures of the femoral neck

The American Journal of Surgery, 1949
Abstract 1. 1. The historical development of internal fixation of fractures through the femoral neck and trochanters is reviewed. 2. 2. The anatomy of the femoral head, neck and trochanters pertinent to internal fixation is discussed. 3. 3. A successful technic for the Smith-Petersen nailing is described. 4. 4. The handling within the

Rigid Fixation of Internal Orbital Fractures

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1990
When large portions of the internal orbit are destroyed (two to four walls), standard bone-grafting techniques for immediate and late orbital reconstruction may not yield predictable eye position. Critical bone support is most often deficient inferomedially.

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.

THE INTERNAL FIXATION OF ANKLE FRACTURE REPAIR

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1995
A descriptive overview of the type of internal fixation, the biomechanical principles of this fixation technique, and the methods of application are outlined. Clinical illustrations demonstrate some of the more commonly used internal fixation techniques.

INTERNAL FIXATION OF JAW FRACTURES

A.M.A. Archives of Surgery, 1952
DIRECT,rigid fixation of the bone fragments is best in treating severe fractures of the jaws. This is accomplished by drilling one or more steel pins or Kirschner wires longitudinally through the bone across each fracture site to firmly engage both fragments.
