Congenital pseudarthrosis of the leg bones is accompanied by its shortening and deformation. It’s still unclear what an optimal method surgical treatment. Objective. Using a mathematical model, to study relative deformations regenerate (RDR) in zone lower under different options osteosynthesis. Methods. The nonunion was modeled third tibia 4 variants osteosynthesis on were analysed: intramedull...

Purpose The incidence of proximal humeral fractures is high in the elderly, and the superior management of these fractures remains a controversy. The study aims to compare clinical outcomes of intramedullary nails, locking plates and conservative treatment for the management of displaced proximal humeral fractures in the elderly. Patients and methods In this prospective study, a total of 198 ...

OBJECTIVES To determine which method of operative fixation, plate and screw, or intramedullary nails (IMN) fixation is superior for pediatric both bone forearm fractures (BBFF). DATA SOURCES PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane, from 1980 to 2011, in English. STUDY SELECTION We selected for detailed review all studies with children or adolescents with comparative data (or individual patient data) f...

The study was conducted to evaluate clinical effect of working length and rod size for plate fixation diaphyseal femoral fracture repair in dogs. Twenty four dogs with femur were randomly divided into Groups viz. A, B, C D having six animals each group. Three bicortical screws proximal three distal fragments minimum two empty holes at the center fixed short (SPWL) A B intramedullary (IMR) occup...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Sonication is currently considered the best procedure for microbiological diagnosis of implant-related osteoarticular infection, but studies in nail-related infections are lacking. The study aim was to evaluate implant sonication after intramedullary nail explantation, and relate it to microbiological cultures and clinical outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS A study was performed...

Background: Surgeons agree on the benefits of operative treatment of tibial fractures – the most common of long bone fractures – with an intramedullary rod or nail. Rates of re-operation remain high – between 23% and 60% in prior trials – and the two alternative nailing approaches, reamed or non-reamed, each have a compelling biological rationale and strong proponents, resulting in ongoing cont...

BACKGROUND Tibial fractures are the most common long bone fracture. The standard of care for the treatment of diaphyseal tibial fractures is an intramedullary nail (IMN). Implant removal is one of the most common procedures in bone and joint surgery, and criteria for implant removal are typically left to the treating surgeon. Currently, no clear criteria exist to guide a surgeon's decision to r...
