HYPOTHESIS The aim of the present study was to assess the technical feasibility of minimally invasive volar plate removal following distal radius fracture. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three hundred and eighty-eight plates removed from 387 patients (357 females: mean age, 50 years) were assessed retrospectively. The incision used the primary minimally invasive approach and was closed after plate remo...

<p><strong>Background</strong>: With the rise in incidence of proximal tibia fractures India due to road traffic accidents, this prospective study was intended assess operative procedure management such using locking compression plate (LCP).</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> 30 subjects attending site scheduled undergo defined surgery were enrolled as per...

The advent of 'biological internal fixation' is an important development in the surgical management of fractures. Locked nailing has demonstrated that flexible fixation without precise reduction results in reliable healing. While external fixators are mainly used today to provide temporary fixation in fractures after severe injury, the internal fixator offers flexible fixation, maintaining the ...

BACKGROUND Currently, antegrade intramedullary nailing and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) represent the main surgical alternatives in distal tibial fractures. However, neither choice is optimal for all bony and soft tissue injuries. The Retrograde Tibial Nail (RTN) is a small-caliber prototype implant, which is introduced through a 2-cm-long incision at the tip of the medial mal...

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...

INTRODUCTION
 Distal femur fractures in adults have an estimated annual incidence of 6% all fracture. Choice the type fixation depends on characteristics fracture and general condition Carbon fiber reinforced—polyetheretherketone (CFRPEEK) offer several potential benefits when compared with metal alloy implants, including a modulus elasticity approaching cortical bone fatigue strengths gre...
