BACKGROUND Corrective osteotomy for malunited diaphyseal forearm fractures remains a challenging procedure. We developed a computer-assisted system for corrective surgery, including a three-dimensional simulation program and a custom-made osteotomy template, and investigated the results of corrective surgery for malunited diaphyseal forearm fractures with use of this technology. METHODS Twent...

Fracture of the long bone is a commonly encountered orthopaedic problem in canine practice (Aithal et al.,1999). Femur fractures are one most common affections dogs comprising 35 % hind limb and 24 %of all (Johnson al., 1998). Proximal distal epiphyseal happen young animals, whereas diaphyseal metaphyseal more frequent older animals(Guiot 2012, Abd El Raouf, 2017). They difficult to repair due ...

INTRODUCTION Open fractures of the tibia pose a challenge to orthopaedic and plastic surgeons. A retrospective observational review was conducted to evaluate the epidemiological factors and fracture outcomes in the Singapore context. METHODS A nine-year period of open tibial shaft fractures presenting to our institution was reviewed. Demographic and management data were recorded. Statistical ...

Background: Although the incidence of paediatric femoral shaft fractures is about 1.6%, it’s treatment controversial, especially in children age 6-12 years. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was performed at Sher E Bangla Medical College Hospital, Barishal, Bangladesh from January 2020 to December 2020, on 7 (n=7). There were limited number patients included due this a...

Ipsilateral proximal, diaphyseal and distal femur fractures are very rare. These fractures are seen especially in the adult population following motorcycle or in-vehicle traffic accidents. Treatment of ipsilateral multiple femur fractures are difficult and controversial. Variable types of fixation techniques and implants are proposed for these types of fractures, however, no evidence could be s...

BACKGROUND We compared the union and functional results of intramedullary nailing and open reduction internal fixation treatment applied to adults with a forearm diaphysis fracture (fracture of the radius and/or ulna). METHODS We retrospectively examined 90 patients with completed skeletal maturation who were surgically treated for a forearm diaphyseal fracture. Patients with a Monteggia Gale...

Intramedullary nailing has become the treatment of choice for diaphyseal femur fractures. Malrotation is a well-recognized complication of femoral nailing. Various techniques including the cortical step sign (CSS) have been described to minimize iatrogenic rotational deformity during femoral nailing. We present a case in which the use of the CSS resulted in a clinically significant malrotation ...

Locked fixed-angle plating in the hand and wrist helps to optimize outcomes following surgical fixation of select acute fractures and complex reconstructions. Select indications include unstable distal ulna head/neck fractures, periarticular metacarpal and phalangeal fractures, comminuted/multifragmentary diaphyseal fractures with bone loss (ie, combined injuries of the hand), osteopenic/pathol...
