RIGID INTERNAL FIXATION FOR SHOULDER ARTHRODESIS

Orthopedics, 1991
ABSTRACT Fifteen patients underwent a shoulder arthrodesis utilizing standard dynamic compression plate fixation, but with limited postoperative immobilization with only an abduction pillow. In each ease, the position of the extremity relative to the scapula and trunk was recorded immediately postoperatively, at regular intervals until fusion,

Management of mandibular trauma with rigid internal fixation

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1986
The use of rigid internal fixation has become an acceptable method for the treatment of fractures and continuity defects of the mandible. This technique has a wide variety of applications, including stabilization of mandibular segments for the application of bone grafts.

Vertical Fracture of the Mandibular Posterior Ramus Border Secondary to the Stress of the Rigid Internal Fixation Material

Craniomaxillofacial Trauma & Reconstruction, 2012
A unique case of a vertical fracture of the mandibular posterior ramus border secondary to the stress of the rigid internal fixation material is described in this study. We think that the surgeon\u27s experience and awareness play a key role in avoidance

Posterior Cervical Fusion with Rigid Internal Fixation

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1986
Rigid fixation of the posterior cervical spine offers definite advantages over conventional wiring techniques. These advantages are emphasized in certain high-risk groups of patients, including those with multiple-level traumatic instability, cervical deformities, and unresectable anterior tumor involvement.

Rigid Internal Fixation of the Sternum in Postoperative Mediastinitis

Archives of Surgery, 1994
The current standard treatment of mediastinitis following median sternotomy is radical sternal débridement and obliteration of anterior mediastinal dead space with muscle or omental flaps. This report describes and reviews our experiences with a new technique of sternal salvage based on osseous quantitative bacteriologic assessment and rigid fixation ...

The Effect of Rigid Internal Fixation on Cranial Growth

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1990
As the use of rigid internal fixation of the facial skeleton has become routine in adults, many craniofacial surgeons have expanded its use to the pediatric population. The effects of miniplate and screw fixation on subsequent craniofacial growth, however, have not been examined. Using 6-week-old rabbits as an experimental model, miniplates were placed

Rigid Internal Fixation of Infected Mandibular Fractures

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2009
To evaluate the treatment outcomes of rigid internal fixation for the management of infected mandible fractures.A retrospective chart review of infected mandible fractures managed by a single oral and maxillofacial surgeon at a level I trauma center during a 7-year period was accomplished by independent examiners.

Research on a Novel Rigid Internal Fixation System

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2010
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of fixation with a novel (bulge core type system) rigid internal fixation system.Mandibular linear fractures were created artificially in dogs and fixed using a bulge core type system or a miniplate system in vitro.

Fixation of mandibular fractures: A comparative analysis of rigid internal fixation and standard fixation techniques

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1990
This study used a prospective design to compare standard therapy (closed or open reduction with 4 weeks of maxillomandibular fixation) to rigid internal fixation (RIF) for the treatment of mandibular fractures. Ninety-two patients with 143 fractures were evaluated and treated.

Rigid Internal Fixation of Displaced Distal Radius Fractures

Orthopedics, 2014
Distal radius fractures, the most common long bone fracture, are treated in several ways, including closed reduction, percutaneous pinning, external fixation, and open reduction and internal fixation. This article presents a surgical technique and a series of patients treated with a novel minimally invasive intramedullary fixation technique.
