Plating as a reduction aid prior to intramedullary nailing of tibia fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis
PurposeThe purpose of this meta-analysis is to analyse the literature on plate-assisted reduction during intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft...
-
A biomechanical investigation of a novel intramedullary nail used to salvage failed internal fixations in intertrochanteric fractures
PurposeThe ideal approach for revision surgery following femoral head salvage treatments for an intertrochanteric fracture is still up for debate. A...

Efficacy of intramedullary bridge fixation for midshaft clavicle fractures: a retrospective analysis of a novel technique
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of a novel intramedullary fixation technique using the ortho-bridge system (OBS) for...
-
Comparison of freehand technique and a novel laser guiding navigation in distal locking of femoral intramedullary nails: a randomized controlled trial
BackgroundIntramedullary nail (IMN) is one of the key essential minimally invasive “weapons” in orthopaedic trauma, while the distal locking is still...
-
Blocking screw (pin) technique to achieve an acceptable reduction in intramedullary of subtrochanteric femoral fractures: indications, techniques, and clinical outcomes
IntroductionSubtrochanteric femur fractures treated with intramedullary nails present biomechanical benefits, early weight-bearing, and reduced soft...

PurposeTo describe the methods and outcomes of reamed intramedullary nailing (IMN) of diaphyseal multifragmentary femur (AO/OTA C2 and C3) fractures...
-
Subtrochanteric femoral fractures and intramedullary nailing complications: a comparison of two implants
IntroductionIntramedullary (IM) nails are considered the ‘gold’ standard treatment for subtrochanteric femoral fractures. The incidence and risk...
