External fixation in pelvic fractures [PDF]

open access: possibleMUSCULOSKELETAL SURGERY, 2010
Pelvic fractures account for 4-5% of all fracturated patients, and they occur in 4-5% of polytraumatized patients. In the most of the cases, they are consequent to high-energy trauma with a high percentage of lesions of other organs (cerebral, thoracic, and abdominal lesions. The most of the patients (80%) who die are dying within the first hours after

Biomechanics of Fracture Fixation

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2020
This article reviews the biomechanical parameters of fracture repair that influence construct stiffness and strength. The stiffness influences the relative motion between fracture fragments, known as gap strain, and, thus, callus development. Construct strength determines the magnitude and number of load events that the repair can resist before failure.

Internal fixation of fractures

International Journal of Oral Surgery, 1978
In recent years close consideration of the biomechanical principles of treatment of mandibular fractures has led to the use of operative as well as conservative methods. Since this combined method of treatment appeared cumbersome, a new kind of osteosynthesis plate was developed for functionally stable internal fixation of mandibular fractures, without

Biomechanics of the Ilizarov Fixator for Fracture Fixation

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1992
Compression, distraction, and torsion stiffness of the Ilizarov external fixator was measured in two fracture models in autopsy specimens of tibia and fibula. A transverse model was tested in six frame constructions with the osteotomy site preloaded in four different positions.

Intramedullary Fixation of Fractures

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1955
Abstract Extract Mr. President, I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for inviting me to address your Association this morning. Before commencing on my subject, I wish to pay tribute to your profession. The pathways of our professions have met on many occasions during the centuries we have practised our respective arts and sciences ...

Internal fracture fixation

Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 2004
Over the past decade, many improvements to small animal internal fracture fixation have been developed, including improved fixation techniques and a more diverse selection of implants. The understanding that appropriate fixation selection is based on a plethora of biologic, mechanical, and clinical factors has also emerged.

External Fixation of Wrist Fractures

Orthopedics, 1984
ABSTRACT: One hundred and twenty-six wrist fractures treated by external fixation were reviewed, with an average followup of six months (range: one to 48 months). Most of the fractures were unstable. A radius-second metacarpal standard half-frame was used in 93.6%.

External Fixation of Tibial Fractures

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2015
External fixation for definitive or initial management of tibial fractures has a long history, with pin-to-bar external fixation being the standard of care for definitive management of tibial fractures. However, the use of this method lessened because of the increased popularity of intramedullary nailing and drawbacks associated with external fixation.

Fixation of greater tuberosity fractures

Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 2004
The authors describe arthroscopic reduction and percutaneous fixation of greater tuberosity fractures of the humerus with displacement of more than 0.5 cm. Arthroscopy for reduction and fixation of this fracture presents the same difficulties and advantages as arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears.

Arthroscopy‐assisted fracture fixation [PDF]

open access: possibleKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2010
AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this article was to systematically analyze the results of published studies in the literature which evaluated the use of arthroscopically assisted techniques in intra‐articular fracture fixation.MethodsPublished investigations to date were analyzed by classifying them according to joints that were involved with intra ...
