Fracture Fixation and Implants

This technique is technically feasible and may facilitate the clinical use of minimally invasive osteosynthesis techniques.

Omission of the third innermost locking screw during bridging osteosynthesis subjected to bending forces led to a 20% reduction in construct stiffness.

The variability of mechanical properties between HBC and VBC due to the differences of curing conditions may influence the bonding of cement with the implant.

This procedure improves the animals' quality of life.

Use of 3D-printed osteotomy and reduction guides may improve the accuracy of correction of femoral alignment.

This report provides evidence that MIPO is a compelling alternative to open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of various humeral fractures.

The use of a locking plate to improve overall success rate, in these fractures, remains to be confirmed clinically.

Orthogonal plating offers a strong nonlocking alternative.

Construct D, with OrthoFiber #5, passed straight through the toggle rod eyelet, may provide superior stability and resistance to fatigue failure to toggle-in repairs of coxofemoral luxations.

The results suggested that closed, fluoroscopic-assisted reduction is a proficient and efficient means of stabilising acute unicondylar humeral fractures.
