Early Fixation of Calcaneus Fractures

Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2017
The treatment of calcaneus fractures is controversial. Historically, most operatively treated fractures have been approached with a lateral extensile incision requiring delay in operative treatment until swelling has improved. There is a current trend and interest in small incision approaches allowing, and in some cases requiring, earlier operative ...

Interim Fixation of Mandible Fractures

The Journal of Otolaryngology, 2002
The mandible provides structural support for the teeth and a route for neural and vascular supply to the dentition, as well as sensory perception for the lower one-third of the face. Although the mandible is the largest and strongest facial bone, fractures frequently result as a sequela of facial trauma because of the mandible’s physical prominence in ...

Intramedullary Fixation of Forearm Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2010
Plate fixation remains the primary surgical treatment option for most adult forearm fractures. However, intramedullary nailing can be successful and might be preferable in cases of massive soft-tissue injury and burns, certain segmental fractures, pathologic fractures, and skeletally immature adolescent patients.

PERCUTANEOUS FIXATION OF SCAPHOID FRACTURES

Hand Clinics, 2001
The scaphoid proximal pole and waist fractures presented here were treated by a novel dorsal percutaneous technique with arthroscopic assistance. All fractures healed, with good final functional results and no complications. The advantages of the dorsal percutaneous approach to scaphoid fixation are: (1) the proximal-to-distal placement of the guide ...

Rigid skeletal fixation of fractures

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1993
Rigid skeletal fixation of facial fractures has evolved from the principles established in orthopedics. It has taken a long time to develop rigid internal fixation devices that provide stability combined with safety. The application of rigid skeletal fixation to the facial skeleton requires the surgeon to pay strict attention to detail, which may add a

External Fixation for Mandible Fractures

Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics, 2009
External fixation of mandible fractures is a useful technique when an open treatment is contraindicated because of extensive comminution, bone or soft tissue loss, and infection. This technique can also be used temporarily until definitive treatment is delivered. A uniphasic or biphasic system can be placed to reduce and stabilize mandibular fractures.

STATIC FIXATION OF FINGER FRACTURES

Hand Clinics, 1993
Static fixation of the fingers by external fixators means external stabilization of a fractured digit or phalanx or preservation of length of the affected segments until bone grafting and bone healing are achieved. During the treatment course, distraction or compression are not applied to the callus.

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

Percutaneous Fixation of Scaphoid Fractures

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2007
Recent advances in techniques and implants have led to renewed interest in percutaneous screw fixation of acute scaphoid fractures. The closed (cast) treatment of acute scaphoid fractures generally has good outcome, with bony union resulting; however, closed treatment can result in delayed union, nonunion, malunion, cast- induced joint stiffness, and ...

Biomechanics of Intramedullary Fracture Fixation

Orthopedics, 1985
Intramedullary rodding allows excellent control of bending forces on long bone fractures when adequate sized rods are used. This is made possible by reaming when necessary. Torsional stability is poor if adequate bone nail contact is not obtained and there is little bone fragment interdigitation.
