Fixation of extra articular distal radial fractures with non bridging external fixator.

Severely comminuted fractures of distal radius often lead to impairment of wrist function. A prospective study was performed on 30 patients aged between 35-65 years of extra-articular fractures of distal radius. All patients were treated with closed manipulation of the fracture an application of non-bridging (radio radial) external fixator under radiological control. At six months after the inj...

Unstable Distal Radial Fractures Treated with External Fixation, a Radial Column Plate, or a Volar Plate

Open Trimalleolar Fractures Treated with Ilizarov External Fixator.

BACKGROUND Open trimalleolar fractures are some of the most severe fractures of the ankle joint region and some of the most difficult in trauma surgery. Repositioning with internal fixation is the most common surgical treatment method. There is little published data on primary repositioning and external fixation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five patients with open trimalleolar were fitted with Iliza...
