Closed Fracture Reduction Using Motorized Remote Controlled Reduction Device

bed-assisted closed reduction intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fracture

Objective: To compare treatment of femoral shaft fractures using traction bed assisted closed reduction (CR) or conventional open reduction (OR) for intramedullary nail fixation. Methods: The study group consisted of 126 patients with femoral shaft fractures who were treated via intramedullary nail fixation from July 2009 to May 2013. Traction bed assisted CR was adopted in 71 patients, while O...

Post-Operative Outcome of Closed Reduction of Fracture Nasal Bone

Percutaneous closed reduction of fracture-dislocation of the shoulder.

A technique using a cannulated tap in a percutaneous manner allows for easy reduction of the dislocated humeral head with minimal soft-tissue trauma and presents a useful alternative to repeated attempts at open or closed reduction.

Fulminant fat embolism associated with closed fracture reduction.

Fulminant fat embolism is well recognised although uncommon. This case report of a patient developing pulmonary oedema during surgery and anaesthesia and dying four hours later is rare, unusual and disturbing. Two similar but non-fatal cases, both young males, of intraoperative pulmonary oedema associated with closed fracture reductions, where fat embolism was implicated, have been previously r...

Initial closed reduction of cervical spine fracture-dislocation injuries.

STANDARDS There is insufficient evidence to support treatment standards. GUIDELINES There is insufficient evidence to support treatment guidelines. Early closed reduction of cervical spine fracture-dislocation injuries with craniocervical traction is recommended to restore anatomic alignment of the cervical spine in awake patients. Closed reduction in patients with an additional rostral injur...
