One of the most common pathologies that occurs in static deformities anterior joint foot is valgus deformity first toe. Distal or diaphyseal osteotomies are used for mild degrees, and proximal severe ones. Spikes, screws plates with angular stability often to fix bone fragments. Purpose - help biomechanical studies, study stress-deformed state model different options osteosynthesis metatarsal a...

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) has been used for humeral shaft fractures, but concerns exist about soft tissue injuries. The purpose of this study was to report the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of MIPO using a helical plate for metadiaphyseal complex humeral shaft fractures. Twelve patients with acute displacement involving proximal and middle third humeral shaft fra...

OBJECTIVE Modified anterior tension wiring with K-wires and cannulated lag screws with anterior tension wiring are currently the fixation of choice for patellar fractures. Failure of fixation, migration of the wires, postoperative pain and resulting revision surgery, however, are not uncommon. After preliminary biomechanical testing of a new fixed-angle plate system especially designed for fixa...

conclusions the fixator-assisted lengthening plate technique helps to maintain the stability and alignment at both sides of an osteotomy during tibial elongation. it allows the early removal of the external fixator immediately after lengthening is completed. this technique can be applied in children with open physes and in patients with a narrow medullary canal who are unsuitable for limb lengt...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to examine resistance to angulation and displacement of the internal fixation of a proximal first metatarsal lateral displacement osteotomy, using a locking plate system compared with a conventional crossed screw fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY Seven anatomical human specimens were tested. Each specimen was tested with a locking screw plate as well a...

BACKGROUND Proximal humerus fractures are represented as 4-5% of all fractures, with incidence notably growing with age. Since surgical internal fixation in treatment of proximal humeral fractures is used, fractures of osteoporotic bone and choice of plate for their osteosynthesis represent particular problem. The aim of the study was to test two locking plates: Philos plate with locking screws...
