Tibial plateau fractures are common injuries that occur in a bimodal age distribution. While there are various treatment options for displaced tibial plateau fractures, the standard of care is open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). In physiologically young patients with higher demand and better bone quality, ORIF is the preferred method of treating these fractures. However, future total k...

conclusions due to the shorter :union: time, to some extent less complication rate and comparable functional and clinical results, the authors recommend to use the mipo technique in treating the mid-distal humeral shaft fracture. results the median of :union: time was shorter in the mipo group (4 months versus 5 months). the time of surgery and functional outcomes based on the ucla and meps sco...

RATIONALE Osteopetrosis is a rare disease that predominantly occurs in descendants of inbreeding families. In the case of fractures happen in patients with osteopetrosis, the choice between operative or conservative treatment is still controversial. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a conventional treatment for fractures, and it possesses more applicability than conservative treatm...

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of and evaluate the risk for complications and mortality following open treatment of acetabular fractures in the Medicare population. Patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for acetabular fractures were identified using current procedural terminology codes in a 5% national sample of Medicare records. Complicatio...

Background: The accuracy of reduction of ankle fractures using postoperative plain radiographies (x-ray) remainswidely controversial. Some authors have demonstrated that postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan can beuseful for these patients. In current study, the efficacy of x-rays after fixation of ankle fractures was investigated basedon the CT scan findings.Metho...

OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical and radiological outcomes after closed reduction (CR) and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in the management of subcondylar fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight patients presenting with subcondylar fracture between January 2010 and March 2013 were evaluated retrospectively. Fifteen patients were treated with CR and 33 patients with ORIF. T...

Simultaneous bilateral four-part proximal humeral fractures are rare. Four-part fractures of the proximal humerus are difficult for the patient and technically demanding for the surgeon. Our surgical tactic is to attempt open reduction and internal fixation where possible. We report the functional outcome in a 56-year-old female who sustained simultaneous bilateral four-part proximal humeral fr...

BACKGROUND Clavicular fractures are common injuries. The aim of this study is to present results of surgical treatment of midclavicular fracture managed with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with superior reconstruction plating. This study involved 34 patients, with mean age of 31 years, with completely displaced midclavicular fractures, 28 on the right and 6 on the left, stabilized ...

Background: Displaced fractures of radius and ulna bones in adults are usually treated with open reduction and internal fixation. The purpose of this research was to access functional outcome of these fractures. Materials and Methods: In this research 52 Patients who underwent ORIF with DCP 3.5 in past 5 years were investigated. Post-operation protocol was one week immobilization and then acti...

The aim of our meta-analysis was to compare outcomes for two surgical treatments of calcaneal fractures, percutaneous reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires (PRFK) and open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), with the intent of evaluating the quality of evidence to inform practice. Search of MEDLINE, Cochrane and CNKI databases to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing PRKF...
