Purpose Cortical porosis, secondary to either vascular injury or stress‐shielding, is a comorbidity of fracture fixation using compression bone plating.

Biomechanical comparison of locking plate and pin-tension band wiring fixation for 3D-printed canine patellar fracture repair [PDF]
IntroductionThe conventional pin and tension band wiring (TBW) technique remains the standard for fixation, but is frequently associated with complications such as wire breakage, loosening, and delayed healing in patellar fracture. Locking plate fixation

Intramedullary nail fixation versus locking plate fixation for adults with a fracture of the distal tibia: the UK FixDT RCT [PDF]
Background: The best treatment for fractures of the distal tibia remains controversial. Most of these fractures require surgical fixation, but the outcomes are unpredictable and complications are common. Objectives: To assess disability, quality of life,

Hook plate fixation versus locking plate fixation for distal clavicle fracture: a multicenter propensity score-matched study [PDF]
Hook plate fixation and locking plate fixation are two standard internal fixation implants for treating distal clavicle fractures. We aimed to clarify the following: 1) Does the locking plate offer better clinical outcomes than the hook plate? 2) Is bone

Proximal humeral fractures with a severe varus deformity treated by fixation with a locking plate [PDF]
We treated 47 patients with a mean age of 57 years (22 to 88) who had a proximal humeral fracture in which there was a severe varus deformity, using a standard operative protocol of anatomical reduction, fixation with a locking plate and supplementation ...

Comparison of the effect of locking vs standard screws on the mechanical properties of bone-plate constructs in a comminuted diaphyseal fracture model [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to compare the mechanical properties of bone-plate constructs with locking compression plates (LCP) used either with standard screws or with locking screws on an experimental model of comminuted ...

Background Hallux valgus disease is a common deformity of the forefoot. There are currently more than 100 surgical approaches for operative treatment. Because hypermobility of the first tarsometatarsal joint is considered to be causal for hallux valgus ...

UK DRAFFT : a randomised controlled trial of percutaneous fixation with kirschner wires versus volar locking-plate fixation in the treatment of adult patients with a dorsally displaced fracture of the distal radius [PDF]
Background: Fractures of the distal radius are extremely common injuries in adults. However, the optimal management remains controversial. In general, fractures of the distal radius are treated non-operatively if the bone fragments can be held in ...
