Posterior iliac crescent fracture-dislocation is generally considered rotationally unstable and vertically stable. The current study (1) investigated whether vertical instability may occur in posterior iliac crescent fracture-dislocation and (2) analyzed the clinical features of vertically unstable iliac crescent fracture-dislocation as well as treatment strategies. Patients with pelvic fractur...

OBJECTIVE To compare radiation exposure doses and clinical and radiological outcomes between percutaneous pedicular screwing (closed reduction internal fixation [CRIF]) and classical open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) in lumbar spine fracture without neurologic deficit. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty patients (mean age, 42.5 years) were divided into two treatment groups: (Percutaneous) CRIF...

Pain after any surgical procedure is inevitable but can be controlled by administration of analgesics in most cases. Postoperative pain after surgical treatment of mandibular fractures can be treated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid analgesics. The purpose of this study is to critically compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of small doses of intravenous TRAMADO...

Information on surgical site infection (SSI) after surgical treatment of ankle fracture is limited and remains controversial. The purpose of the present study was to determine the incidence and risk factors for SSI after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of ankle fracture. Patients who underwent ORIF for ankle fracture at 3 centers between January 2015 and December 2016 were included....

This edition includes ten new chapters – total elbow arthroplasty, revised shoulder arthroplasty, proximal humerus hemiarthroplasty, extra articular proximal tibial fractures, submuscularis locked plating, subtrochanteric femur fractures, ankle fractures, calcaneal fractures, tibial pilon fractures, and staged ORIF. Seventeen chapters have been rewritten by new contributing authors and leaders ...

Objectives: To document union rate, complications and patient-reported outcomes after open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), with without bone grafting (BG), for humeral diaphyseal nonunion failed nonoperative management. Design: Retrospective. Setting: University teaching hospital. Patients Intervention: From 2008 to 2017, 86 consecutive patients [mean age 59 years (range 17–86), 71% (n = 61...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to compare open reduction and plate fixation in the treatment of distal radius fractures with percutaneous fixation methods (external fixation and/or K-wires) regarding the outcome, using self-reported questionnaires (PRWE--Patient rated wrist evaluation, DASH--Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) as a primary aim, and grip strength and radiological p...
