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

INTERNAL FIXATION OF SCAPHOID FRACTURES

Hand Clinics, 1997
Scaphoid 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.

Internal Fixation in Pediatric Maxillofacial Fractures

Facial Plastic Surgery, 1998
Pediatric facial trauma presents unique problems in diagnosis and management. The following review highlights relevant points of craniofacial growth and applied anatomy. The epidemiology of pediatric facial fractures is presented followed by pertinent features of clinical presentation and diagnosis.

Internal Fixation of Pelvic Ring Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1989
The orthopedic care of unstable pelvic fractures requires reduction and stabilization in order to promote union in a satisfactory position and provide a satisfactory clinical result. The results of three treatment techniques, skeletal traction and/or pelvic sling, anterior frame external fixation, and internal fixation, were evaluated over a four-year ...

INTERNAL FIXATION OF JAW FRACTURES

A.M.A. Archives of Surgery, 1952
DIRECT,rigid fixation of the bone fragments is best in treating severe fractures of the jaws. This is accomplished by drilling one or more steel pins or Kirschner wires longitudinally through the bone across each fracture site to firmly engage both fragments.

Immediate Internal Fixation in Open Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1980
Open fractures require emergency treatment. Adequate debridement and copious irrigation are essential in their management. The parenteral administration of antibiotics should be started immediately. If the wound is closed primarily, the antibiotics are discontinued after three days.

Internal Suture for Mallet Finger Fracture

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1999
An internal suture technique has been used for mallet finger fractures involving at least 30% of the articular surface. It provides fixation without a button or transfixion of the fragment. An independent retrospective review was conducted of ten patients at a mean follow-up of 17 months.

Fracture Biology, Biomechanics, and Internal Fixation

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1996
The success of orthopedic surgery in ruminants is directly related to the surgeon's knowledge and understanding of bone physiology and mechanics. The relationship of the macro and micro structure and function of bone as it relates to fracture physiology and repair is discussed.

INTERNAL FIXATION FOR UNSTABLE ANKLE FRACTURES

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1964
Two hundred and thirty-two ankle fractures were treated in the orthopaedic department of the Royal Portsmouth Hospital between 1959 and 1960. Seventy-one fractures treated by internal fixation with screws have been seen at follow-up examination. Results show that open reduction, secure and accurate internal fixation and early movement without plaster ...

Minimal Internal Fixation of Tibial Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1975
Flexible wire and small pins cause minimal disturbance of osseous blood supply, and introduce minimal foreign material into the wound. Supplemental support by a plaster cast or by traction is required, but the external support can generally be discontinued early for joint mobilization. Several simple auxillary fixation devices extend the usefulness of
