High energy trauma such as road traffic accidents, are a common cause of lower extremity fractures. Tibia fractures the second most fractures, and distal tibia deserve special attention due to relatively lesser amount necessary fracture, propensity for complications, nonunion, malunion, infections, skin cover complications. In this study, we compare discuss outcomes two well-established modalit...

BACKGROUND Distal humerus intercondylar fractures are intra-articular and comminuted fractures involving soft tissue injury. As distal humerus is triangle-shaped, parallel plating coupled with articular fixation would be suitable for bicolumn restoration in treatment of distal humerus intercondylar fracture. METHODS This study included 38 patients (15 males and 23 females) who underwent olecr...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to evaluate the results maintaining after closed reduction of distal radius fracture and to assess difficulties in restoration of the articular surface continuity with reference to the type of fracture according to the AO classification. MATERIAL AND METHODS 65 patients were included in the study (40 female, 25 male), mean age of 59 years (19-84), diagnosed...

BACKGROUND The outcome after displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures is influenced by the condition of the surrounding soft tissues. To avoid secondary soft tissue complications after surgical treatment, several less-invasive procedures for reduction and fixation have been introduced. The percutaneous technique according to Forgon and Zadravecz is suitable for all types of displaced intra...

An articular glenoid fracture is an uncommon injury. Usually significantly displaced intra-articular glenoid fractures are treated with open reduction surgery. Conventional open surgery techniques involve high morbidity. Here we describe an arthroscopy-assisted reduction and fixation method of an Ideberg type III glenoid fracture. This method provides good articular reduction without extensive ...

The Epibloc system of percutaneous endomedullary internal fixation is best indicated for AO type A2-3 extra-articular fractures of the distal radius and AO type C1 slightly comminuted articular fractures. This system includes pins that can be inserted into the medullary canal and advanced without breaking through the second cortex. This fixation is stabilised by an external plate and rendered d...

Background: Fractures of the distal femur are rare and severe. For an extra-articular fracture, all therapeutic options possible mini-invasive surgery can be performed. In case intra-articular open reduction internal plate fixation should Objective: To evaluate functional radiological outcomes 20 patients with comminuted supracondylar fractures managed by either single or double plating. Patien...

conclusions in our study, we treated this rare fracture successfully using a modified swashbuckler approach and found it to be a good approach for such fractures as compared to the conventional approach. case presentation a 32-year-old male sustained a bicondylar hoffa fracture of the right femur which was treated by open reduction and internal fixation using a modified swashbuckler approach. a...

Distal humeral fractures are relatively rare and complex injuries. With appropriate preoperative planning and execution of surgical technique, good outcomes may be obtained in most patients. Patients should be counseled regarding loss of motion in these injuries, and elderly, osteoporotic patients with extensive comminution should be considered for total elbow arthroplasty as an alternative to ...

objective: to evaluate the functional outcome and extensor apparatus of operative management of intra-articular fractures of distal humerus using modification of the triceps tongue flap approach. methods: this prospective study was conducted between june, 2012 to april,2014 in nims medical college and hospital, jaipur, rajasthan(india). we included 23 patients with intraarticular fractures of d...
