Internal Fixation with Knodt's Rods

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986
Knodt's rods are an effective distraction internal fixator for promoting fusion for lumbar spine surgery. The chief disadvantage in 92 cases was a removal rate of about one third. The 93% fusion rate, and instant mobilization of the patient are reasonable trade-offs for the disadvantages of a second operation for removal of the rods.

Internal Fixation: a Historical Review

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2011
Internal fixation has become a pillar of surgical specialties, yet the evolution of these devices has been relatively short. The first known description of medical management of a fracture was found in the Edwin Smith Papyrus of Ancient Egypt (circa 2600 bc).

Internal Fixation of Osteoporotic Fractures

Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2014
Osteoporosis leads to bone fragility and increased risk of fracture. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, the prevalence continues to rise. Osteoporotic fracture treatment has a unique set of difficulties related to poor bone quality and traditional approaches, and implants may not perform well.

Resorbable polymers for internal fixation

Clinical Materials, 1992
Bone fractures are usually fixed with metallic internal and/or external fixation devices. Such devices have to be removed from the implantation site, once the bone fracture is healed. Metallic devices may also corrode in vivo releasing ions into the tissues. An ideal internal fixation device should allow adequate fracture fixation, immediate recovery

Internal fixator for use in the mouse

Injury, 2009
Knockout techniques enable us to expand our knowledge about bonerepair processes. Since they require the use of mice, such studies necessitate the development of special technologies. Mechano-biological reactions play a determining role in fracture healing, and therefore controlled conditions of stability are essential.

Combined External Fixation and Internal Fixation

2014
Fractures with severe comminution of the joint surface and with little metaphyseal support to the volar rim fragments may benefit from a volar buttress plate in addition to ligamentotaxis served by an external fixator. The most severe, comminuted fractures however should be subject to augmented external fixation.

Internal Fixation by the Ender Method

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1979
To the Editor.— The article "Internal Fixation by the Ender Method" by Corzatt and Bosch (240:1366, 1978), presents an alternative and new method for fixation of intertrochanteric fractures of the hip. I studied this method while on a sabbatical in Europe and agree with the authors on the biomechanical advantage that this method offers.

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.

The Hazards of Internal Fixation in Podiatry

Clinics in Podiatry, 1985
There are several ways to avoid the iatrogenic complications or hazards of internal fixation. The surgical approach should be planned well in advance. The instruments and materials to be used intraoperatively should be checked before beginning the operation to assure that there are adequate materials of appropriate length and thickness.

Internal Fixation in the Osteoporotic Spine

Spine, 1997
The presence of osteoporosis in patients who are candidates for spinal surgery can affect preoperative planning. These patients may not need instrumentation for a successful surgical result, but if use of instrumentation is indicated because of instability or deformity, certain principles should be observed.
