The principle of the locking compression plate (LCP) is represented by the combination of two completely different anchorage technologies and two opposed principles of osteosynthesis in one implant it combines the principles of conventional plate osteosynthesis for direct anatomical reduction with those of bridging plate osteosynthesis. Since the LCP can be used as a conventional plate using on...

The authors compare the functional outcome of 26 patients successfully treated by percutaneous osteosynthesis and 24 patients successfully treated by a short-arm thumb cast for the acute scaphoid fracture after a follow-up of at least 12 months. The patients treated by percutaneous osteosynthesis showed a significantly better range of wrist motion at the time of re-examination. Differences in p...

We investigated patterns of refracture and their risk factors in patients with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia after Ilizarov osteosynthesis. We studied 43 cases in 23 patients. Temporal and spatial patterns of refracture and refracture-free survival were analysed in each case. The refracture-free rate of cumulative survival was 47% at five years and did not change thereafter. Refracture...

material is to avoid a second operation to remove the plates and screws. Additional surgery has inherent risks and further social, health political and economic burden can be avoided . There have been frequent discussions about leaving metallic osteosynthesis material in situ and this option is seen in the various regional and national differences. Despite the body’s tolerance of titanium, remo...

AIM The aim of this study was to determine the outcome of transoral approach alone to treat the mandibular angle fracture using single 2.0 mm miniplate. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 28 patients were included and treated with 2.0 mm single miniplate osteosynthesis at upper border along Champy's line of osteosynthesis using transoral approach alone. RESULTS All the cases were treated ...

Plate osteosynthesis is one treatment option for the stabilization of long bones. It is widely accepted to achieve bone healing with a dynamic and biological fixation where the perfusion of the bone is left intact and micromotion at the fracture gap is allowed. The indications for a dynamic plate osteosynthesis include distal tibial and femoral fractures, some midshaft fractures, and adolescent...

Transforaminal pelvic fractures are high-energy injuries that are translationally and rotationally unstable. This study compared the biomechanical stability of triangular osteosynthesis vs 2-transsacral-screw fixation in the repair of a transforaminal pelvic fracture model. A transforaminal fracture model was created in 10 cadaveric lumbopelvic specimens. Five of the specimens were stabilized w...

Distal diametaphyseal tibia fracture though requires operative treatment is difficult to manage. Conventional osteosynthesis is not suitable because distal tibia is subcutaneous bone with poor vascularity. Closed reduction and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) with locking compression plate (LCP) has emerged as an alternative treatment option because it respects biology of distal t...

RELEVANCE. The surgical treatment of patients with diaphyseal forearm fractures has a variety methods and requires precision technique. need for postoperative immobilization after osteosynthesis remains controversial issue, since failure the formation pseudoarthrosis are sometimes observed. In addition, very little information about role interosseous membrane in rotational function during is av...

We investigated the relationship of efficiency in the application of the ESIN method of intramedullary osteosynthesis and other active surgical methods in the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of long bones in children and adolescents. The study comprised 100 subjects treated by elastic stable intramedullary osteosynthesis (ESIN - group A) and 50 subjects in whom other active surgical methods w...
