متن کاملRehabilitation of distal radius fractures: a biomechanical guide.
Fracture healing and surgical decision making are not always predictable. The suggested protocols are intended to be flexible rather than rigid to be responsive to patient progress and the fracture site stability. A methodologic approach to the rehabilitation following a distal radius fracture, based on a knowledge of the biology of fracture healing and biomechanics of fixation, may preempt som...
متن کاملLocked Plating: Biomechanics and Biology
Since the early ideas of internal fixation, many different concepts and techniques have been developed for the use in fracture surgery. Each technique has been welcomed by many with excitement while others have suggested caution, locked plating is no exception. Since its advent over 15 years ago many have viewed this as a violation of the strict AO principles of anatomic reduction and rigid fix...
متن کاملBiomechanics of locked plates and screws.
OBJECTIVE To review the biomechanical principles that guide fracture fixation with plates and screws; specifically to compare and contrast the function and roles of conventional unlocked plates to locked plates in fracture fixation. We review basic plate and screw function, discuss the design rationale for the new implants, and examine the biomechanical evidence that supports the use of such im...
متن کاملThe use of cerclage wire for surgical repair of unilateral rostral mandibular fracture in horses
Fractures of the rostral mandible in horses are the most common type of jaw fractures. The present study was performed for stabilization of rostral mandibular fracture with cerclage wire. In a retrospective case series, six client-owned horses with unilateral mandibular fractures were admitted to our clinic and suffered from a major gingival wound at rostral part of mandible. Rostral mandibular...
