Internal fixation for rib fractures has been widely carried out worldwide, and its surgical efficacy has been recognized. However, there is still controversy about whether implant materials need to be...
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 143 patients undergoing removal of internal fixation for rib fractures from 2020 to 2021 in our center. The implant-related complications, postoperative compl...
In this study, a total of 143 patients underwent removal of internal fixation, among which 73 suffered from preoperative implant-related complications (foreign-body sensation, pain, wound numbness, se...
For patients with internal fixation for rib fractures, removal of internal fixation can be considered in the case of implant-related complications after surgery. The corresponding symptoms can be reli...
The aim of this study is to evaluate different plate systems and contribute to revealing the most appropriate treatment option for severe atrophic edentulous mandible fractures. A total of 8 different...
The ideal approach for revision surgery following femoral head salvage treatments for an intertrochanteric fracture is still up for debate. A novel variety of proximal femoral bionic intramedullary na...
Using finite element analysis, we created a three-dimensional model of the intertrochanteric fracture's helical blade cut-out for this investigation. The PFBN 1 group, the PFBN 2 group, the PFNA group...
The values for the femoral displacement in the PFBN1 group, PFBN2 group, PFNA group, and DHS group were 6.802 mm, 6.716 mm, 8.080 mm, and 8.679 mm, respectively. The internal implant displacement valu...
Our biomechanical research demonstrates that intramedullary fixation is more stable than extramedullary fixation when salvaging failed internal fixations in intertrochanteric fracture. Compared with P...
During the last decades, effective pain reduction and early mobilization were identified as the central priorities in therapy of insufficiency fractures of the pelvis. For operative treatment minimall...
The commonly used technique for treating unstable pelvic fractures with sacroiliac screws and anterior internal fixator (INFIX) is prone to complications, such as injury to the pelvic vasculature and ...
A retrospective analysis of minimally invasive internal fixation using modified incision of an anterior-ring INFIX application combined with modified percutaneous iliosacral screw placement was perfor...
All patients were followed up for a mean of 25.23 ± 1.48 months. All fractures healed without loss of reduction and no patient showed evidence of delayed union or nonunion. Two years postoperatively, ...
The modified percutaneous iliosacral screw technique increases the anterior tilt of the sacroiliac screw by shifting the entry point posteriorly to increase the safety of the screw placement. Downward...
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model to automatically identify the manufacturer and model of hip internal fixation devices from anterop...
In this retrospective study, 1721 hip AP radiographs, including six internal fixation devices from 1012 patients, were collected from an orthopedic center between June 2014 and June 2022 to establish ...
A total of 1378 (80%) images were used for model development, and model efficacy was validated on a test set with 343 (20%) images. The overall TOP-1 accuracy was 98.5%. The area under the receiver op...
We developed a deep convolutional neural network model that can identify the manufacturer and model of hip internal fixation devices from the hip AP radiographs....
To assess radiological and functional outcomes of transilial internal fixator (TIFI) for treatment of sacral complete transforaminal fractures with a novel implantation technique that decrease wound i...
A Prospective case series from 2019 to 2021 was conducted at university hospital including 72 patients with Denis type 2 sacral fractures. The operative and fluoroscopy time, reduction, implantation t...
The mean initial fracture displacement was 4.42 mm while mean postoperative maximum residual fracture displacement was 2.8 mm, Radiological outcome assessed using Matta's grading at the final follow-u...
TIFI through a minimally invasive technique represents a valid method for dealing with transforaminal sacral fractures. TIFI provides a rigid fixation for posterior ring injuries with few risks regard...
In younger patients with a femoral neck fracture (FNF), internal fixation is the recommended treatment regardless of displacement. Healing complications are often treated with arthroplasty. We determi...
The study was based on prospectively collected data from the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR) and the Swedish Arthroplasty Register (SAR). FNFs in patients aged < 60 treated with parallel pins/screws o...
We included 407 uFNFs and 389 dFNFs (median age 52, 59% men). The 1-year conversion rate was 3% (95% CI 1-5) for uFNFs and 9% (CI 6-12) for dFNFs. Corresponding results at 5 years were 8% (CI 5-11) an...
Adults aged under 60 with uFNFs and dFNFs face an 8-25% risk, respectively, of conversion to arthroplasty within 5 years after internal fixation. This is new and pertinent information for surgeons as ...
The Waveflex semi-rigid-dynamic-internal-fixation system shows good short-term effects in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases, but there are few long-term follow-up studies, especially for r...
Hybrid fixators with quite different joint design concepts have been widely to suppress adjacent segment degeneration problems. The kinematic and kinetic responses of the adjacent and transition segme...
The moderately degenerated L4/L5 and mildly degenerative L3/L4 segments were respectively immobilized by a static fixator and further bridged by the rod-rod (Isobar) and screw-spacer (Dynesys) fixator...
The flexion of the screw-spacer system provided higher mobility to the transition segment, reducing adjacent-segment problems. The cable pretension had a minor effect on the construct behavior. Howeve...
