Tibial plateau fractures, which are intra-articular injuries of the knee joint, are often difficult to treat and have a high complication rate, including early-onset osteoarthritis. The most common tr...
To assess the benefits and harms of different surgical interventions and bone defect fillers for treating tibial plateau fractures....
We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and trial registries up to March 2023. We also searched conference proceedings and the grey literature....
We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs comparing surgical interventions for treating tibial plateau fractures and different types of filler for bone defects....
Two review authors independently screened search results, selected studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. We calculated risk ratios (RRs) for dichotomous outcomes and mean differences (MD...
We included 15 trials in the review, with a total of 948 adult participants. Nine trials compared different types of fixation, and six trials evaluated different types of bone graft substitutes. All 1...
There is insufficient evidence to ascertain the best method of fixation or the best method of addressing bone defects during surgery in people with tibial plateau fractures. Further well-designed RCTs...
The use of staple technology in the upper extremity has continued to evolve with the development of shape-memory alloys (SMAs) such as Nitinol that display superelastic properties that can be exploite...
The primary aim of this study was to determine and compare the biomechanical properties of a fractured or intact rib after implant fixation on an embalmed thorax....
Five systems were fixated on the bilateral fractured or intact (randomly allocated) 6th to 10th rib of five post-mortem embalmed human specimens. Each rib underwent a four-point bending test to determ...
As compared to a non-fixated intact rib, the relative difference in stiffness of a fixated intact rib ranged from -0.14 (standard deviation [SD], 0.10) to 0.53 (SD 0.35) and for a fixated fractured ri...
The current fixation systems differ in their design, mode of action, and biomechanical properties. Differences in biomechanical properties such as stiffness and load to failure especially apply to fra...
Metal and its alloys have been predominantly used in fracture fixation for centuries, but new materials such as composites and polymers have begun to see clinical use for fracture fixation during the ...
In this article, we describe the construction and appropriate use of a lateral-based fixator for ankle fractures. This lateral-based frame is useful for treating Pott's fractures. With lateral ankle d...
Treatment options for open tibial shaft fractures include external fixation with or without early conversion to internal fixation....
The aim of this study was to describe 1) early conversion to internal fixation and definitive external fixation and 2) in case of conversion, to identify risk factors for complications....
Seventy-two external fixations of open fractures of the tibial shaft (Gustilo classification, 7 fractures (9.7 %) grade I, 25 fractures (34.7 %) grade II, 40 fractures (55.6 %) grade III (31 grade III...
In the "IF" group, the union rate was 69.7 % at 6.3 +/-3.6 months (3-16). All patients had complete union at 16 months, requiring 2.8 +/-0.8 reoperations. Fixation with external fixation only ("EF" gr...
Early conversion of external fixation to internal fixation is an effective option to achieve bone union of open tibial fractures in selected patients....
Concerning rates of nonunion in articular distal humerus fractures indicate an unsolved problem. The fixation principles of O'Driscoll describe linking the fractured articular segment to the distal hu...
Ten matched pair specimens of 65 years of age or older were randomized to the use (LB group) or non-use (NLB group) of an interlocking beam to link the medial and lateral locking plates in fixation of...
Mean stiffness was 273 Newtons/mm in the LB group and 225 Newtons/mm in the NLB group (p = 0.001). Mean maximum displacement was 0.28 in the LB group and 0.93 mm in the NLB group (p = 0.006). Mean loa...
Our results indicate that an interlocking beam which links the medial and lateral plates provides greater stability compared to a similar construct without an interlocking beam. We attribute this find...
External fixation is a powerful tool in the armamentarium of the active orthopaedic surgeon. The upper extremity, however, poses unique challenges in the techniques of external fixation because of the...
Conversion of provisional external fixation to intramedullary nail (IMN) in femur fractures has been reported to be safe within 14 days of initial surgery. However, there is no current literature guid...
After obtaining IRB approval, tibial fractures (OTA 41A, 42, 43A) that received provisional ex-fix and were converted to IMN from 2009 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Skeletally mature patients...
Twenty-eight patients (32%) were treated for deep infection. The infection rate for closed fractures was 28% (11 of 39 patients) and for open fractures was 35% (17 of 49 patients) ( P = 0.56). Examini...
Infection rates of tibial fracture patients treated with external fixation and converted to IMN were high. Surgeons should strongly consider the necessity of external fixation for these fractures. Ear...
Level IV-case series....
Despite the prevalence of renal impairments, the existing literature examining fracture healing in the upper limb in patients with renal impairment is sparse. This study hence aims to investigate the ...
Patients above 50 years old who underwent distal radius fracture fixation via volar plating were included. Time to fracture healing was defined as duration between day of surgery and presence of radio...
Ninety-nine consecutive patients took mean 65.5 ± 8.0 days to fracture healing post-operatively. Patients with renal impairment had longer time to fracture healing than patients without (67.1 ± 50.4 d...
Time to fracture healing post-distal radius fracture fixation was significantly related to renal impairment, age and ASA classification....
