background:  fractures of the distal third of the tibia are mostly associated with a fibular fracture that often requires fixation. the preferred treatment of distal tibial fracture is the minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis  (mippo) procedure. however, there are no clear cut guidelines on fixation of the fibular fracture and currently most orthopedic surgeons use a plate osteo...

Objectives: Many studies have highlighted lower rates of secondary operations with dual-plating compared to single-plating. Despite higher upfront costs associated the construct, observed reduction in single-plating may make it a more cost- effective treatment option. The objective this study was assess cost-effectiveness dual-plate fixation single-plate patients operatively indicated displaced...

The relative strength of posterior plating and dual medial-lateral plating for comminuted olecranon fractures has not been evaluated. Fifteen male cadaveric elbows with simulated highly comminuted olecranon fractures were tested to failure via cantilever bending. The strength of dual medial-lateral plates and a single posterior plate with and without an intramedullary screw was evaluated. The m...

objective: to evaluate and report the functional results of surgical management of intercondylar fractures of the humerus in adults using a novel dual plating technique. methods: a total number of 60 patients with riseborough and radin type ii, iii, and iv intercondylar humerus fractures were operated with open reduction through a trans-olecranon approach and internal fixation using two plates ...
