background: humerus fractures include 5% to 8% of total fractures. non-:union: and delayed :union: of gt (gt) fractures is uncommon; however they present a challenge to the orthopedic surgeons. significant controversy surrounds optimal treatment of neglected fractures. the purpose of this article was to perform a comparative study to evaluate the outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation...

  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 malreduc...

Preservation of the soft tissue is of particular importance in the care of pilon fractures. Improper soft tissue management has been attributed to high rates of nonunion, nerve injury, and failures (1–12). Traditional open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of pilon fractures allows for direct visualization of the fracture(s) but is criticized for the large exposure and periosteal stripping. As...

BACKGROUND A meta-analysis was performed to assess the association between healing rate, avascular necrosis (AVN) of femoral head and two reductions-open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) for femoral neck fracture. METHODS A literature-based search was conducted to identify all relevant studies published before September 10, 2013. The odd ratio (...

BACKGROUND A few studies focused on open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or nonoperative treatment of displaced 3-part or 4-part proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients have been published, all of whom had a low number of patients. In this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), we aimed to assess the effect of ORIF or nonoperative treatment of displaced 3-part or 4-...

Surgical treatment of distal tibia fractures can present as a difficult task. Intramedullary nailing (IMN), external fixation, and open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) have displayed various complications ranging from a high rate of knee morbidity with IMN to wound complications and infection with ORIF. Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) has been used to decrease development of t...

PURPOSE To compare the clinical efficacy and complications of limited internal fixation combined with external fixation (LIFEF) and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of Pilon fracture. METHODS We searched databases including Pubmed, Embase, Web of science, Cochrane Library and China Biology Medicine disc for the studies comparing clinical efficacy and complications ...

abstract background: unstable pelvic fracture, a result of high energy antero-posterior compression injury, has been managed based on internal fixation and open reduction. the mode of fixation in unstable pelvic fracture has, however, been a subject of controversy and some authors have proposed a need to address the issue of partial breach of the pelvic ring elements in these injuries. this stu...
