BACKGROUND Although open reduction and internal fixation via the extended lateral approach is currently considered gold-standard, severely comminuted calcaneal fractures might not be amendable for reconstruction. The primary aim of the current review study was to assess the functional outcome of the primary arthrodesis in the management of comminuted displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture...

Background – In comminuted Colles fractures treated by conventional method , malunion during healing due to progressive radial collapse is a common complication. Many modalities of treatment have been described with their merits and demerits. Ulnocarpal stabilization is an effective method to prevent radial collapse and hence this study. Materials And Methods – A prospective study of 100 patien...

This retrospective study aimed to identify and classify fractures in the appendicular axial skeletons of birds from Cariamidae Falconidae families presented a referral centre. Twelve thirteen adult red-legged seriemas (Cariama cristata) had skeleton one an fracture. All occurred pelvic limbs, but bird also thoracic limb Among long-bone fractures, ten were tibiotarsus. these six comminuted, two ...

A retrospective study of 23 acetabular fractures in patients up to 17 years of age is presented, with an average follow-up of eight years. Good or excellent functional results were achieved in 21 patients; radiographic results were good or excellent in 16. Conservative treatment gave consistently good results in fractures with minimal initial displacement, stable posterior fracture-dislocations...

Treatment of fractures of the proximal phalanx and metacarpals is based on the presentation of the fracture, degree of displacement, and difficulty in maintaining fracture reduction. A wide array of treatment options exists for the variation in fracture patterns observed. Inherently stable fractures do not require surgical treatment; all other fractures should be considered for additional stabi...

Complete, displaced radial fractures carry a poor prognosis in adult horses. In foals and ponies, fracture repair may have good outcome following internal fixation. Distal are difficult to stabilise due limited bony purchase. Therefore, carpal arthrodesis provide viable option for salvaging the horse. this report, we describe pan-carpal as treatment distal an pony. A 12-year-old pony, 180 kg bo...

Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of anterior tension band wiring technique using two cannulated cancellous screws in patients with transverse (AO34-C1) or transverse with mildly comminuted (AO34-C2) patellar fractures. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study of 25 patients with transverse fracture or transverse fracture with mildly comminuted patella fractures. All the ...

INTRODUCTION Distal comminuted femoral fractures with joint involvement are highly challenging for the surgeon. We present a potential therapeutic concept that aims especially at the treatment of posttraumatic leg length discrepancy. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes a polytraumatized 19-year-old German woman. Among other injuries she had a third grade open distal comminuted femora...
