results overall, ≥ 2 mm shortening of the radius was seen in 28% of the patients, 53% had 2 - 5 mm radial shortening and 19% of the patients had more than 5 mm shortening of the radius. most of the participants had acceptable outcomes. the mean angulation was 6.28 ± 2.85 degrees and the mean shortening was 3.92 ± 2.22. thirty-nine percent of the patients had an angulation of less than 5 mm, 56%...

Background/Aims: Intramedullary nailing (IMN) and plate fixation were widely accepted to treat distal extra-articular tibial fractures. However, the ideal treatment for extra-articular tibial fractures remained controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of intramedullary nailing versus plate fixation in patients with distal extra-articul...

This is the first report of arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation of a juvenile Tillaux fracture. Arthroscopic visualization assisted with the anatomic reduction of the articular fragment. This adds arthroscopy as a modality available to help obtain accurate reduction as well as understand the nature of the fracture pattern in juvenile Tillaux fractures along with its adult counterpa...

BACKGROUND Fracture of the distal radius is a common injury. Many treatment options exist for the surgical management of extra-articular and intra-articular distal radius fractures. The best method of treatment for these fractures remains controversial. We sought to examine radiographic outcomes of patients treated with non-spanning external fixator (NSEF), open reduction and internal fixation ...

Tibial plateau fractures require appropriate treatment and rehabilitation to obtain a stable, pain-free and mobile joint (1). The variables like extensor lag, condition of the articular cartilage, range of motion, instability, axial malalignment, and articular incongruity have been reported to determine the functional outcome in tibial plateau fractures (2-8) .A number of treatment modalities i...

Abstract Imaging evaluation of the hip joint requires expert knowledge about detailed anatomy and specific injuries. This chapter will include various osseous pathologies that can affect such as stress fractures, osteonecrosis, or subchondral insufficiency fractures. Several types mechanical impingement between components be discussed femoroacetabular impingement, abnormal antetorsion, subspine...

The incidence of distal radius fractures is increasing together with the average age of population. Intra-articular incongruity is the most probable cause of unsatisfactory outcome of distal radius fractures in younger and more active patients. Thus, the main goal in the treatment of distal radius fractures should be restoration of articular congruence. A computed tomography (CT) is recommended...

The surgical goals for treating proximal tibial fractures are to restore articular congruity, the mechanical axis, and knee motion while avoiding soft-tissue complications. The fracture pattern should be correctly identified and understood. For fractures with minimal intra-articular extension, fracture fixation with an intramedullary nail can decrease the risk of infection because it uses a sma...

Intramedullary fixation of distal radius fractures is an emerging concept. The Dorsal Nail Plate is a new device that links a specifically designed stem to a small distal plate; bone fixation is supported by fixed-angle screws. The device is inserted dorsally using a minimally invasive technique ; its indications are unstable dorsally displaced extra-articular or simple articular distal radius ...
