BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of open reduction and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for anterior ring fracture combined with pubic symphysis separation and to explore the operative techniques and therapeutic efficacy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) to treat anterior ring fracture combined with pubic...

Since introduction to the clinics in the 1990s, resorbable osteosynthesis systems have undergone extensive improvements in order to establish their use as a standard treatment, especially in craniomaxillofacial surgery. However, the development of osteosynthesis systems made of poly(α-hydroxy acid) polymers has been hindered by the lack of information on the mechanical properties and biocompati...

Present-day concepts of osteosynthesis emphasize upon biological healing of fractures. This has led to advent of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis. This technique if used when indicated leads to numerous advantages such as higher rates of union with decreased surgical time, blood loss, post-operative pain, infection rates and certain other postoperative complications. This technique is be...

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO), which is developed under the guidance of biological osteosynthesis (BO) rules, can achieve faster and better rehabilitation. MIPO is mainly used in long bone fractures such as humerus, tibia and femur, but the technique is distinctive in each fracture site. The operative method, experimental outcome and comparison with other internal fixation meth...

Background: Tibial diaphyseal fracture is the most common fracture of long bones. In Iran plating and undreamed tibial nailing (UTN) are the most commonly used methods and because of paucity of equipments such as c-arm and reaming sets, the reamed method is rarely used. This study compares these two methods. Methods: In a randomized clinical trial study including 100 patients (78 males, 22 fema...

Comparative study conducted on eighty dentate mandibular fracture patients at maxillofacial unit of de,Montmorency College of Dentistry / Punjab Dental Hospital Lahore, treated by open reduction and internal Fixation (ORIF) by mini plates and screws in two Groups. Group-A, treated by two plate fixation and Group-B, treated by one plate fixation with tension banding by an archbar in place of sec...

BACKGROUND Plate osteosynthesis is the most commonly used technique for the treatment of diaphyseal forearm fractures in adults. However, application of a plate can disrupt the periosteal blood supply and necessitates skin incisions that may be unsightly, and there is a risk of refracture if the implant is removed. The purpose of this study was to assess the early results of the use of a contou...

The paper presents our observations of femur shaft fractures healing treated by closed locked intramedullary nailing. The method is, from biological and biomechanical point of view, adventageous connection of conservative fracture treatment and operative method fulfilling stable osteosynthesis requirements and standards. Callus formation in the vicinity of fracture site confirms some elasticity...

We present a case report demonstrating the experience of the department of pediatric orthopaedics of the University Orthopedic Hospital at Sofia Medical University in the treatment of an intertrochanteric proximal femoral fracture in a child with osteopetrosis. We performed open fracture reduction with stable 120° LCP (Locking Compression Plate) Pediatric hip osteosynthesis. Fracture consolidat...
