BACKGROUND One of the modern techniques for the treatment of clavicle fracture (Fx) is elastic titanium intramedullary nailing. But, there are different opinions about this technique. We studied this technique in 12 patients with clavicle Fx and assessed its outcome. OBJECTIVES We aimed to study the prognosis of midshaft clavicular Fx treated via minimally invasive stable elastic intramedulla...

OBJECTIVE To present the clinical and radiological results of a minimally invasive technique, the fixation of two- and three-part fractures of the proximal humerus according to the Neer Classification System, using the intramedullary bundle-wiring Hackethal technique. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The operations were performed with the Hackethal technique (use of elastic titanium nails, Synthes) on 17...

The operative fixation of pediatric femoral fractures is increasing being done nowadays. Children of age less than six years can be best treated by traction followed by cast method but the conventional traction and casting method for management of pediatric femoral fractures is giving way for the operative stabilization of the fracture in children more than six years. Twenty patients in age gro...

Although considered as a low-risk procedure, intramedullary nail removal is also associated with certain complications. Here, we compared the most commonly used stainless steel and titanium nails with respect to the compl...
