INTERNAL FIXATION FOR LUMBOSACRAL FUSION

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1944
By the placement of screws through the lateral articulations, rigid internal fixation can be secured in the lumbar spine-fusion operation. The position in which the joint is to be ankylosed can be accurately controlled, and the necessity for prolonged immobihization in plaster is eliminated.

Internal Fixation of Osteoporotic Bone

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2018
Osteoporosis is one of the costliest conditions managed by orthopaedic surgeons. This condition, which is characterized by decreased bone density and thinning of cortical bone, is strongly influenced by complex signaling in both the hormonal and mechanical environments.

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.

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 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.

Biological internal fixation of fractures

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 1990
Trauma centers treat more and more patients who have sustained multiple injuries during high energy accidents. The techniques of internal fixation of such fractures may be dictated by the concomitant soft tissue trauma, rather than by the bony injury. Three stages of soft tissue injuries are recognised: Stage I delineates compromised soft tissues which

The AO Spinal Internal Fixator

Spine, 1989
The AO spinal internal fixation system uses 5.0 mm diameter transpedicular Schanz screws with 7.0 mm diameter fully threaded stainless steel rods. Originally developed for the treatment of thoracolumbar and lumbar spine fractures, it can be used for a variety of spinal disorders.

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.

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.

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.
