Comparison and analysis of reoperations in two different treatment protocols for trochanteric hip fractures – postoperative technical complications with dynamic hip screw, intramedullary nail and Medoff sliding plate

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2017
Background In treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures dynamic hip screw and Medoff sliding plate devices are designed to allow secondary fracture impaction, whereas intramedullary nails aim to maintain fracture alignment.

Virtual prototyping of a new intramedullary nail for tibial fractures [PDF]

, 2012
In this work a new distal interlocking system has been developed which is easy to use, allows a reduction of the operating time and consequently the exposure to radiations both for surgeon and patient. The main goal of this study has been the design of a

Is a Magnetic-Manual Targeting Device an Appealing Alternative for Distal Locking of Tibial Intramedullary Nails? [PDF]

, 2013
Background: In order to enable a radiation-free, accurate and simple positioning of distal locking screws, a combined magnetic and manual targeting system has been developed by Sanatmetal®. Where a low-frequency magnetic field is initially used to detect

Elective Surgical Care Pathways Are Associated With Lower Fracture Rates at Presentation and Contribute to Superior Clinical Outcomes in Metastatic Bone Disease

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Metastatic bone disease (MBD) often necessitates orthopaedic surgical intervention, which occurs through either emergent or elective care pathways. This study compared post‐operative outcomes between patients undergoing elective versus emergent surgery for MBD involving the pelvis and appendicular skeleton. Methods We

Flexible intramedullary nailing in the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the femur in preschool children [PDF]

, 2008
Femur fractures in preschool children are mostly treated in a conservative way, by means of spica cast immobilisation or skin traction. In school age children the use of flexible intramedullary nails (FIN) is widely used and promoted.
