Posterior Instrumentation for Thoracolumbar Fractures

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2004
Thoracolumbar fractures are relatively common injuries. Numerous classification systems have been developed to characterize these fractures and their prognostic and therapeutic implications. Recent emphasis on short, rigid fixation has influenced surgical management.

Instrumentation of the Spine for Fracture Dislocations in Children

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 1977
13 children, ages 11–16 years, sustained severe compression fractures or fracture dislocations of the thoracolumbar spine. All cases were treated with Harrington instrumentation with fusion and six also had decompressive laminectomy. All injuries had significant instability and neurologic deficits (nine complete).

Instrumentation and Techniques in Equine Fracture Fixation

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1996
In recent years fracture fixation in the horse has changed significantly. New devices, mainly adapted from the human field, have been successfully introduced into large animal surgery. Examples of such implants include the DCS/DHS implant system, the self-tapping screw, the cannulated screw, and the pinless external fixator.

Endodontic instrument fracture: causes and prevention

British Dental Journal, 2013
Endodontic file fracture has traditionally been considered an uncommon event; however, a recent perception of increased fracture incidence with rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments has emerged. It is essential for the clinician to understand the likelihood of instrument fracture and the reasons for this unfortunate occurrence. Removal of fractured

Pedicle Screw Instrumentation for Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures and Fracture-Dislocations

Spine, 1992
Thirty-eight patients with unstable thoracolumbar and lumbar (T12-L5) spine fractures were treated with Cotrel-Dubousset pedicle screw instrumentation. They were followed for an average of 22.73 months (range 12-39). Measurements of canal compromise, wedge index, and kyphosis correction at follow-up examination were made.

Cotrel-Dubousset Instrumentation for the Treatment of Thoracolumbar Fractures

Neurosurgery, 1990
Abstract Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation (CDI) was introduced in 1984 primarily for the treatment of scoliosis. The applications of this unique and versatile system have expanded to other diseases of the spine. Thoracolumbar fractures are a common management problem for which the device seems to be well suited.

Rotary NiTi Instrument Fracture and Its Consequences

Journal of Endodontics, 2006
The fracture of endodontic instruments is a procedural problem creating a major obstacle to normally routine therapy. With the advent of rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments this issue seems to have assumed such prominence as to be a considerable hindrance to the adoption of this major technical advancement.
