Background: Conventional fixation methods of posterior wall acetabular fractures feature the use of plating and lagscrews. However, fixation of posterior wall fractures with buttress plating alone offers potential advantages by avoidingthe hardware complications related to hardware placement through the wall fragment. The purpose of this study wasto examine if buttress plating...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The current definition of atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) associated with bisphosphonate use includes only de novo fractures. However, in recent years reports of bisphosphonate-associated periprosthetic fractures involving stemmed arthroplasty implants have emerged. In a case series of peri-implant fractures in femurs with plate/screw constructs, we aimed to assess simi...

Box 88.1 lists the signs and symptoms of fractures and complications that indicate serious injury. In general, forearm fractures are classified by the bone (or bones) involved, anatomic location, trajectory of the fracture and alignment of the fracture fragments, and the presence of angulation, rotation, comminution, and concurrent dislocations. All fractures should be further described as open...

introduction: ankle fracture is one of the most common joint fractures. x-ray and physical examination are its main methods of diagnosis. recently, ultrasonography (us) is considered as a simple and non-invasive method of fracture diagnosis. this study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of us in detection of ankle fracture in comparison to plain radiography. methods: in this diagnostic accuracy ...

Introduction: Nasal bone fractures are one of the most common problems in patients who are referred to otolaryngology centers. We aimed to evaluate physical examination, sonography and conventional lateral nasal bone radiography in patients with nasal bone trauma and its relation to intra-operative findings. Methods: This prospective study was performed on 200...

background: pelvic ring injuries and sacroiliac dislocations have significant impacts on patient’s quality of life. several techniques have been described for posterior pelvic fixation. the current study has been designed to evaluate the spinopelvic method of fixation for sacroiliac fractures and fracture-dislocations.   methods: between january 2006 and december 2014, 14 patients with sacroili...

Background: The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze the long-term results of revision ORIF, jointcontracture release, and autogenous bone-grafting in the treatment of distal humerus frac-ture nonunions in older agedpatients with poor bone quality or bone loss who would have been candidates for total elbow arthroplasty.Methods: Seven patients (average age at inde...
