Displaced Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2004
Deciding how to manage displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures is challenging. Preoperative assessment of the fracture, patient status, and the patient's functional needs are important in determining treatment approach. In general, older, sedentary patients and those with no or with minimally displaced fractures may be treated successfully with ...

Intra-Articular Distal Humerus Fractures

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2013
Distal humeral fractures are relatively rare and complex injuries. With appropriate preoperative planning and execution of surgical technique, good outcomes may be obtained in most patients. Patients should be counseled regarding loss of motion in these injuries, and elderly, osteoporotic patients with extensive comminution should be considered for ...

Pathoanatomy of Intra-Articular Fractures of the Calcaneus*

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American Volume), 1998
Radiographs of 220 calcaneal fractures (205 patients) were reviewed retrospectively. One hundred and sixty-three fractures were intra-articular; thirty (18 per cent) of the 163 fractures were a tongue-type injury, and 133 (82 per cent) were a joint-depression injury.

THE THERAPIST'S MANAGEMENT OF INTRA-ARTICULAR FRACTURES

Hand Clinics, 1994
Fabrication of the dynamic traction splint is described in step-by-step fashion in order to aid surgeons to understand the principles of application of the method and to assist hand therapists to make the splint. The new 6-inch diameter arcuate hoop and the radial or ulnar gutter base splint are detailed.

Diagnosing and Treating Intra-Articular Fractures

JBJS Case Connector, 2016
There are several characteristics of intra-articular fractures (defined here as fractures contained within the joint capsule) that make them challenging for orthopaedists to diagnose and treat. First, they’re quite rare and usually small. Second, because they are contained inside joints, other anatomical structures can “hide” them from routine ...

Complications of Intra-articular Fractures of the Calcaneus

Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, 2004
Most complications of calcaneal fractures are due to the combination of the dynamic nature and the mechanism of the injury itself. Complications are usually secondary to three integral parts of this complex fracture pattern: 1) fracture and depression of the subtalar joint, 2) loss of the height of the calcaneal body with varus rotation, and 3 ...

Intra-articular Fractures

1987
Intra-articular fractures may result in stiffness, deformity, pain, and post-traumatic arthritis. In order to avoid deformity and stiffness it is necessary to secure an anatomical reduction and begin early motion. Sir John Charnley stated that “perfect anatomical restoration and perfect freedom of joint movement can be obtained simultaneously only by ...

Displaced Intra-Articular Fractures of the Calcaneus*

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2000
Most calcaneal fractures occur in male industrial workers, making the economic importance of this injury substantial. Many authors have reported that patients may be totally incapacitated for as long as three years and partially impaired for as long as five years after the injury1,11,39,73,94,133. Although modern operative intervention has improved the

Volar Intra-articular Extended Window Approach for Intra-articular Distal Radius Fractures

Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2023
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common injuries seen globally with increasing use of use of volar plating for surgical treatment. Although it is common to directly visualize the articular surface for most other periarticular fractures, during volar plating of the distal radius the joint is typically not visualized.

Intra-articular Fractures of the Distal Tibia

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1983
Forty-two patients with pilon fractures were followed 24 to 96 (mean, 53) months post-fracture. Fractures were classified as Type I (26%), Type II (29%), or Type III (45%) as defined by Ruedi and Allgower. Type I fractures were usually torsional in nature whereas Type II and III injures were usually the result of a fall from a height or motor vehicle ...
