A comparison of proximal femoral locking plate versus 95-degree angled blade plate in the treatment of reverse intertrochanteric fractures.
OBJECTIVES This study aims to compare the results of the proximal femoral locking plate (PFLP) and the 95°-angled blade plate in the treatment of AO/OTA 31-A3 reverse intertrochanteric fractures with fracture line extending to the greater trochanter. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-four patients with reverse intertrochanteric fracture which fracture line extending to the greater trochanter were re...
متن کاملPlate fixation of tibial shaft fractures.
The treatment of tibial shaft fractures is discussed with emphasis given to plate and screw fixation. A review of plate fixation of 65 tibial fractures is presented with average followup of 4.37 years. When reserved for unstable fractures with minor soft tissue disruption, internal fixation by the use of plates and screws resulted in a small incidence of deformity and shortening, with little ri...
متن کاملTreatment of delayed union or non-union of the tibial shaft with partial fibulectomy and an Ilizarov frame.
We reviewed 28 patients treated with partial fibulectomy combined with an Ilizarov compression frame for a non-infected tibial delayed union or non-union. Patient data, time to referral, type of fracture (open or closed), type of non-union (atrophic or hypertrophic) and period of treatment were recorded. Neither time to referral, type of fracture or type of non-union did adversely affect the du...
متن کاملMyotopography in Tibial Lengthening
Limb lengthening by Ilizarov lengthens not just the long bone, but also the soft tissues too. Damage of the musclesduring corticotomy and their stretching during distraction play a crucial role in occurrence of complications and finallimb function. We present here a systematic codified nomenclature system of each muscle summarising all theinfluence that corticotomy and distraction have the part...
متن کاملSecondary nailing after external fixation for tibial shaft fracture: risk factors for union and infection. A 55 case series.
INTRODUCTION Secondary intramedullary nailing (SIN) following external fixation (EF) of tibial shaft fracture is controversial, notably due to the infection risk, which is not precisely known. The present study therefore analysed a continuous series of tibial shaft SIN, to determine (1) infection and union rates, and (2) whether 1-stage SIN associated to EF ablation increased the risk of infect...
