Acetabular fractures in geriatric patients: epidemiology, pathomechanism, classification and treatment options

The incidence of geriatric acetabular fractures has shown a sharp increase in the last decades. The majority of patients are male, which is different to other osteoporotic fractures. The typical pathomechanism...

Dynamic locking screws in proximal humeral plate osteosynthesis demonstrate superior fixation properties: a biomechanical study

Angular stable implants reduced the complication rate in the treatment of humeral head fractures. But the failure rate is still high. To further reduce the risk of cut-out, cement augmentation of screws was in...

Controlled dynamic stability as the next step in “biologic plate osteosynthesis” - a pilot prospective observational cohort study in 34 patients with distal tibia fractures

Delayed bone healing is an eminent problem in the operative treatment of distal tibia fractures. To address this problem from a biomechanical perspective, the DLS 3.7 (Dynamic Locking Screw 3.7 mm) as a new ge...
