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

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.

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.
