Comparative 3D finite element analysis of intramedullary fixation versus locking plate fixation in calcaneal fractures using micro-CT image technology [PDF]
Objective Calcaneal fracture fixation remains a challenging procedure in orthopedics, with computational tools increasingly aiding in the optimization of preoperative planning. To compare the biomechanical stability of intramedullary fixation and locking

A Morphometric Study on the Humerus for Intramedullary Fixation
In recent years, the popularity of intramedullary humeral nailing is on the rise in spite of its handicaps. There are many problems in intramedullary humeral stabilization because of the anatomic structure of the bone. We performed various methods and measurements to determine shape, length and diameter and curvature of the medullary canal of the ...

A Comparative Study Between Plate Fixation and Intramedullary Fixation for Displaced Mid-Shaft Clavicle Fractures in Adults [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Clavicle fractures are frequently encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. Though multiple treatment techniques have been described in literature, open reduction and internal fixation with plating and intramedullary nailing are preferred in ...

Clinical Outcomes of Fifth Metatarsal Fractures using Jones Fracture-Specific Screw vs Intramedullary Fixation [PDF]
Category: Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: Fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal (Jones fractures) are common foot injuries in both athlete and nonathlete populations, given repetitive loading of the lateral column during gait.

Plate fixation or intramedullary fixation of humeral shaft fractures
The optimal approach to operative treatment of humeral shaft fractures remains debatable. Previously published trials have been limited in size and have been inconclusive regarding important patient outcome variables following treatment with either intramedullary nails or plates.

Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Fibula Fractures [PDF]
Category: Trauma Introduction/Purpose: The current gold-standard for unstable distal fibula fractures is plate and screw fixation; however, intramedullary distal fibular fixation is becoming more commonplace. Although surgeons may consider this technique only for patients requiring extra soft tissue protection, recent studies are showing that it is a ...

The locking plate may provide improved fixation in osteoporotic bone; however, it has been reported to fail due to varus collapse or screw perforation of the articular surface, especially in osteoporotic bone with medial cortex comminution.

Plating versus intramedullary fixation for mid-shaft clavicle fractures: a systemic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background. Plate fixation and intramedullary fixation are the most commonly used surgical treatment options for mid-shaft clavicle fractures; the latter method has demonstrated better performance in some studies. Objectives.
