Biomechanical stability of a supra-acetabular pedicle screw Internal Fixation device (INFIX) vs External Fixation and plates for vertically unstable pelvic fractures [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2012 Background We have recently developed a subcutaneous anterior pelvic fixation technique (INFIX). This internal fixator permits patients to sit, roll over in bed and lie on their sides without the cumbersome external appliances or their complications. The

External fixation combined with limited internal fixation in the treatment of pilon tibia fractures [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2007 Background/Aim. Intraarticular fractures of the tibial plafond (pilon fractures) belong to the group of most severe fractures. They are usually caused by high-energy trauma and frequently associated with a marked soft-tissue damage.

In dogs does the use of bone morphogenetic proteins with internal fixation accelerates fracture healing? [PDF]
Veterinary EvidenceQuestion In dogs undergoing internal fracture fixation does the use of internal fixation and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) accelerate healing compared to internal fixation alone? Clinical bottom line The category of research question was:

Comparison of Outcomes of Operatively Treated Bicondylar Tibial Plateau Fractures by External Fixation and Internal Fixation [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2012 The outcome of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated with either external fixation (35 patients) or internal fixation (24 patients) was reviewed. Outcome measures included the Rasmussen score, clinical complications, development of osteoarthritis ...

Treatment of osteopetrosis combined with fracture around femoral internal fixation: a case report [PDF]
Frontiers in SurgeryOsteopetrosis is a rare disease caused by bone resorption disorders due to a decrease in osteoclasts or functional abnormalities, which can easily lead to secondary fractures. Currently, there are few reports on the treatment of fractures around internal

Evaluation of Results of Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of Fracture of Distal End of Femur with Intra-Articular Extension [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2021 INTRODUCTION: Fractures of the distal femur account for 0.4% of all fractures. They involve about 7% of all femur fractures, with bimodal age distribution, commonly occur during high-velocity trauma of motor vehicle accidents in the younger group of ...

Design of a porous biodegradable internal fixation for the treatment of pauwels type III femoral neck fractures [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyProlonged internal fixation in the femur can cause issues like osteosclerosis and stress masking, which hinder fracture recovery. AZ31b magnesium alloy has already been widely investigated and shown to be biocompatible and biodegradable.

Zinc-Based Biodegradable Materials for Orthopaedic Internal Fixation
Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2022 Traditional inert materials used in internal fixation have caused many complications and generally require removal with secondary surgeries. Biodegradable materials, such as magnesium (Mg)-, iron (Fe)- and zinc (Zn)-based alloys, open up a new pathway to
