Internal Fixation with Knodt's Rods
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986Knodt'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, 1990Trauma 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

Combined External Fixation and Internal Fixation
2014Fractures 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 AO Spinal Internal Fixator
Spine, 1989The 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 OF SCAPHOID FRACTURES
Hand Clinics, 1997Scaphoid 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.

Resorbable polymers for internal fixation
Clinical Materials, 1992Bone 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
