Internal fixation of mandibular fractures

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1954
ADVANCES or changes in surgical endeavour are often slow to influence practice in the face of complacent acceptance of well-tried and routine procedures. It would seem that modern methods of open reduction and internal fixation of any fracture which presents difficulties of reduction or retention are not as generally appreciated and applied in relation

Miniplate fixation of zygomatic fractures

Head & Neck, 1991
AbstractThe availability and application of miniplate systems for the repair of displaced zygomatic fractures may effect commonly accepted guidelines for fixation of these injuries. A retrospective review of 20 patients at New York University‐Bellevue Medical Center was conducted to further delineate issues concerning surgical repair and fixation.

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%.

Arthrofibrosis After Periarticular Fracture Fixation

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2016
Arthrofibrosis after periarticular fractures can create clinically significant impairments in both the upper and lower extremities. The shoulder, elbow, and knee are particularly susceptible to the condition. Many risk factors for the development of arthrofibrosis cannot be controlled by the patient or surgeon.

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 ...

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.

Compression Fixation of Bennett's Fracture

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1977
A procedure that ensures exact reduction and internal fixation of Bennett's fracture is presented. In cases with a large tubercular fragment, the internal fixation is performed with a lag-screw technique. If the fragment is small, a Kirschner wire is used as an implant. A special set of instruments that keeps the reduced fragment in position and guides

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 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.

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.
