The purpose of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of the mandibular fractures relating to gender, age, the etiology of injury, and the rendered treatment modalities and complications. The data of the patients who sustained mandibular fractures were retrieved and were analyzed retrospectively, and based on these data a descriptive analysis was conducted. A total of 11...

The main characteristic feature of the pediatric mandible is that of decreased dimension, which leads to compromises in the open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). In the dental segment, the cervically bulbous short stature primary teeth might act an obstacle during the maxillomandibular fixation conventionally. An increased osteogenic potential of bones favors rapid consolidation and remo...

Originally, the treatment method of choice for distal radial fractures (DRF) has been a non-operative approach with six to eight weeks of plaster casting. The introduction of volar locking plate systems at the beginning of the 21 st century has pushed trends towards open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). While the introduction of fixed angle locking plates together with the increasing kno...

The Mixed Shih-Tzu dog, 3 years old and 4.3 kg body weight, had clinical signs of unable to stand, both rear limbs suffer from diplegic lameness so that they are only able rely on forelimbs. owner said her dog is traumatized by a four-wheeled vehicle. results blood profile before surgery showed physiological, an increase in leukocyte cells 18.83 x103/µL. radiographic examination with ventral-do...

OBJECTIVE To analyse cases of radial head and neck fractures in children and compare them with the literature. METHOD Retrospective and descriptive study of 21 children with radial head and neck fractures. The following parameters were collected: demographics, comorbidity, classification, treatment, need for rehabilitation, lack of range of motion (ROM), time for recovery and complications. ...

BACKGROUND Ankle fractures, especially those resulting from external rotation mechanisms are associated with injury to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. Some authors have recommended performing CT scanning after open ankle surgery to evaluate the reduction of syndesmosis. In this current study, we aimed to investigate the sensitivity of plain radiography in diagnosing syndesmosis malreductio...

Abstract Aim The aim of this paper is to compare the functional outcomes and complication rates ankle fractures treated with retrograde tibiotalocalcaneal nail (TTC) open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). Method Matched cohorts according age Charlson Comorbidities Index (CCI) (mean=6) were established by performing a retrospective search prospectively collated Bluespier® database for patients...

BACKGROUND Elderly patients have more special medical needs when compared with young ones; thus, the results of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for acetabular fractures should be stratified by age in these patients. This study seeks to determine whether the age of the patient influences the results of the ORIF for acetabular fractures. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis...

<p class="abstract">Trimalleolar fracture are complex and challenging to treat. We conducted a study on 15 patients with trimalleolar fracture. Fractures were classified based Lauge Hansen classification. They treated open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) plate screws for posterior malleolus lateral malleolus, tension band wire (TBW)/cannulated cancellous (CC) screw medial functional ra...
