Biomechanical evaluation of a healed acetabulum with internal fixators: finite element analysis [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2023 Background Treatment of complicated acetabular fracture with internal fixation usually has high risk of failure because of unbefitting fixation. However, evaluation of the biomechanical effect of internal fixation under physiological loading for fracture

A simple mini-fixator for complex thumb fractures
Archives of Trauma Research, 2022 The role of external fixators in hand injuries is well entrenched, especially in complex, comminuted phalangeal, and metacarpal fractures where internal fixation is not always possible.

Pitfalls in the Management of Atlanto-Occipital Dislocation [PDF]
Asian Spine Journal, 2015 Atlanto-occipital dislocation (AOD) is rarely seen in clinic because it is characteristically immediately fatal. With recent progress in the pre-hospital care, an increasing number of AOD survivors have been reported. However, because the pathophysiology

Distal tibial pilon fractures (AO/OTA type B, and C) treated with the external skeletal and minimal internal fixation method [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2013 Background/Aim. Distal tibial pilon fractures include extra-articular fractures of the tibial metaphysis and the more severe intra-articular tibial pilon fractures. There is no universal method for treating distal tibial pilon fractures.

Surgical treatment of pertrochanteric fractures by dynamic methods of external and internal fixation [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2003 Pertrochanteric fractures usually occur in patients over 65 years of age, with greater loss of skeletal mass (osteoporosis). Nonsurgical methods of treatment are accompanied by relatively high lethality rate.
