Cannulated hip screws (CHS) can be used for the minimally invasive fixation of non-dislocated femoral neck fractures. Usually, three are inserted. This study aims to determine whether by two CHS leads similar results as CHS. Since January 2019, all patients with an indication internal were treated and followed prospectively. Results compared equal-sized control group who underwent (before 2019)...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the outcome of fixation with cannulated screws for valgus impacted femoral neck fractures in patients over 70 years of age. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the outcome in 33 patients older than 70 years with valgus impacted femoral neck fractures who were treated with cannulated screws fixation from May 2007 to December 2010. These patients were followed for at ...

BACKGROUND Floating pubic symphysis (FPS) is a relatively rare injury caused by high-energy mechanisms. There are several fixation methods used to treat FPS, including external fixation, subcutaneous fixation, internal fixation, and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation. To choose the appropriate fixation, it is necessary to study the biomechanical performance of these different methods. The g...

Study Design Mechanical study. Purpose To compare the pullout strength of different screw designs and augmentation techniques in an osteoporotic bone model. Overview of Literature Adequate bone screw pullout strength is a common problem among osteoporotic patients. Various screw designs and augmentation techniques have been developed to improve the biomechanical characteristics of the bone-...

PURPOSE To present a new technique for wrist arthrodesis and review its treatment outcomes in 33 patients with brachial plexus palsy. METHODS 26 men and 7 women (mean age, 26 years) with global brachial plexus palsy underwent wrist arthrodesis using an external fixator and a cannulated screw. All surgeries were performed under local anaesthesia by a single senior surgeon. An external fixator ...

INTRODUCTION: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is the most common hip disorder of adolescent children [1]. It results in fracture of the growth cartilage, separating the proximal femoral epiphysis from the metaphysis, due to hormonal and mechanical factors [2]. The most widely accepted treatment for stable SCFE (defined by the ability to bear weight on the affected limb) has been a sing...
