Warwick hip trauma study : a randomised clinical trial comparing interventions to improve outcomes in internally fixed intracapsular fractures of the proximal femur : protocol for The WHiT Study [PDF]
Background Controversy exists regarding the optimal treatment for patients with displaced intracapsular fractures of the proximal femur. The recognised treatment alternatives are arthroplasty and internal fixation.

Ankle injury management (AIM) : design of a pragmatic multi-centre equivalence randomised controlled trial comparing close contact casting (CCC) to open surgical reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of unstable ankle fractures in patients over 60 years [PDF]
Background: Ankle fractures account for 9% of all fractures with a quarter of these occurring in adults over 60 years. The short term disability and long-term consequences of this injury can be considerable.

Management of Bennett's fracture: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: First described in 1882, Bennett's fracture is an intra-articular fracture of the first metacarpal associated with a dislocation of the carpometacarpal joint. Usually, open reduction internal fixation is used to manage such fractures. However,

A novel fixation method for panfacial fracture using an Ilizarov-type external fixator
In general, internal plate fixation is mainly performed in order to reduce multiple facial bone fractures and rarely uses an external fixator. Although it would be ideal to successfully achieve or preserve the occlusal relationship of the upper and lower

Background: Posterior dislocations of the shoulder are rare, however more common in seizures. The uncoordinated flexing of muscles which facilitate internal rotation and adduction can cause simple unilateral subluxation or even severe bilateral fracture ...
