INTRODUCTION Distal radius fracture (DRF) accompanied by intra-articular volar displaced fragment is difficult to reduce. This volar fragment remains when treated with a simple buttress effect alone, and V-shaped deformity may remain on the articular surface. We attempted to improve dorsal rotational deviation of volar fragment by osteosynthesis applying the condylar stabilizing technique. We r...

We reviewed 1567 elective knee replacements performed between 1980 and 1990, using either the Total Condylar prosthesis with an all-plastic tibial component, or the Kinematic prosthesis which has a metal tibial tray. The ten-year probability of survival was 92.1% for the Total Condylar design and 87.9% for the Kinematic. The difference was mainly due to 16 revisions required in the Kinematic se...

Distal femoral fractures thigh up from 4 to 9% of all fractures of the femur. There is a direct relationship between the mechanism of receipt of the lesion and the age, sex and the type of fracture. Caused mainly by high-traumatic effects and lead to a high degree of disability. For these reasons, injuries in this anatomical area are of great social importance. The goal of the distal femur frac...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of subtrochanteric femur fracture that led to intraoperative compartment syndrome in the well leg. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 28-year-old obese male who presented with a comminuted subtrochanteric fracture underwent a prolonged open reduction and internal fixation using dynamic condylar screw. In the postoperative period, after the effect of epidural a...

We describe a case of extensively comminuted mandibular fracture that extends bilaterally to the angle of mandible successfully treated with the use of condylar positioning device (CPD). This simple, yet effective, technique that almost exclusively described in orthognathic surgery is useful when advance surgical techniques such as pre- or intraoperative landmark identification may not be readi...
