Tibial shaft fracture is a common orthopaedic and trauma condition. Incidence of tibial fracture is average 26 in 100,000 per year at the age of 15 to 19 years. It is more common in US that is 109 in 100,000 per year [1]. Operative treatment options are external fixation, open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screws or intramedullary nailing. Intramedullary nailing is widely accep...
OBJECTIVE To define the failure of fixation in tibial plateau fractures, detect its incidence, and determine the contributing factors. DESIGN Mail survey and literature review were used to define the fixation failure; this definition was applied to a radiologic review of patients who were treated surgically for tibial plateau fracture at a Level 1 trauma unit for a three-year period from 1993...
Distal radius nonunion after volar locking plate fixation of a distal radius fracture: a case report
We describe a 59-year-old man who had nonunion of a right distal radius fracture after volar locking plate fixation. He underwent open reduction and internal fixation with a volar locking plate system for a dorsally displaced, unstable distal radius fracture at a previous hospital 5 months ago. Radiographs of the injured wrist showed nonunion of the distal radius with 1.5-mm ulnar minus varianc...
We report a case of an above-knee amputee who underwent dynamic hip screw fixation for a proximal femoral fracture and then open reduction and internal fixation a few years later for a further femoral fracture in the same stump. The patient had a good outcome. We aim to discuss the challenges in decision making, surgical technique and potential complications for the patient.
A 53-year-old man presented with an open fracture of the pisiform after a fall on his left wrist. Treatment of the patient presented a dilemma between excision of the proximal fragment and internal fixation. The patient underwent internal fixation with a 2.5 cortical screw. At 6 months follow-up the fracture appeared fully consolidated with full functional recovery of the wrist.
A small, light, ball-joint device called PinFix, which can instantly convert a simple percutaneous cross pin fracture fixation system into a rigid external fracture fixation system based on truss structure, was developed. The purpose of this study was to compare the mechanical load and breaking strength of this truss-structure-based fixation system to that of the conventionally used external ca...
Fractures of the distal radius are common injuries in both athletes and nonathletes. Management is dictated by the nature of the fracture and the patient's level of competition, age, and sport-specific demands. Treatment strategies range from nonoperative treatment for stable injuries to primarily operative treatment for unstable fractures, particularly in active athletes. Once the decision has...
Nasal bone fractures are the most common type of facial fracture. Closed reduction has been used as the standard treatment modality for nasal fractures for many years. In cases of nasal fracture with lacerations at the fracture sites, bioabsorbable/metallic plate or interfragment wire fixation can be used with accurate alignment through the openings created by the lacerations. However, in cases...
Management of metastatic long bone fractures requires identification of the lesion and the use of sound fracture fixation principles to relieve pain and restore function. The treating surgeon must understand the principles of pathologic fracture fixation before initiating treatment. Because these fractures occur in the context of a progressive systemic disease, management typically involves a m...
Ununited fractures of the scaphoid with extensive bone resorption are usually treated by bone grafting and internal fixation, using either an open or a minimally invasive technique. We studied the feasibility of percutaneous fixation without bone grafting in a consecutive series of 27 patients with established nonunion of an undisplaced fracture of the scaphoid and extensive local resorption of...
