Fracture Fixation and Implants

When bicortical screw placement is not possible, maximizing monocortical screw length may optimize fixation stability for distal humeral fractures

High occurrence of complications associated with calcaneal fracture stabilization in these patients

A CBS screw placed in lag fashion provides stiffer fixation than an HCS screw, although both screws provide similar anatomical reduction and yield strength to condylar fracture fixation

The bending resulted in tibial valgus deformation in this series of patients

A high rate, with the majority of complications occur intra-operatively or perioperatively

Although LPA has shown promise as an osteoinductive agent in research, its performance as a bone graft substitute, as utilized in this study, is unsupported

The silver coating exhibited excellent activity against the multidrug resistant biofilm-forming MRSP isolate

Minimally invasive osteosynthesis can be a valid alternative to open reduction and internal fixation

Early postoperative and long-term results seem to be favourable using a mini circular transarticular external fixation system

A useful option particularly for peri- and juxta-articular fractures
