Impact of Infection on Fracture Fixation

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2016
Surgical site infection can be a devastating complication that results in significant morbidity in patients who undergo operative fixation of fractures. Reducing the rate of infection and wound complications in high-risk trauma patients by giving early effective antibiotics, improving soft tissue management, and using antiseptic techniques is a common ...

Fixation of Horizontal Maxillary Fractures

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1965
DESPITE the voluminous literature on the management of facial fractures in general and of middle third fractures in particular, there is still disagreement on the best method of fixation and on the general principles underlying these various methods. A better understanding of these principles could help to prevent the disabling dental malocclusions and

Comparison of Fixation of Spinal Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1980
Mechanical failure was induced in cadaver spines by applying flexion, extension, and lateral bending loads with continuous recordings of moment and rotation. Each spine was then stabilized with Harrington distraction rods, compression rods, and titanium mesh in sequence, and tested in a similar manner.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

External skeletal fixation of fractures

The American Journal of Surgery, 1946
Abstract 1. 1. Skeletal pinning and external fixation has been discussed. The general principles with this method are the same as for any other method of fracture therapy and must be respected and not forgotten. 2. 2. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of skeletal pinning and external fixation have been discussed. 3. 3.

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.

Medullary Fixation of Forearm Fractures

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1957
In the treatment of forearm fractures, the results obtained by medullary fixation are probably neither better nor worse than those obtained by any other single technique. These results are disappointing, however, when compared with those obtained by the same method in the treatment of femoral fractures. The most important contribution of this method to
