Does cement augmentation of the screws in angular stable plating for proximal humerus fractures influence the radiological outcome: a retrospective assessment
BackgroundScrew-tip augmentation in angular stable plating offers new possibilities for the treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures. This...

Comparison of fibula strut and calcium phosphate cement augmentation of the medial buttress in 2-part proximal humerus fractures reconstruction: a biomechanical study
PurposeAugmentation strategies for surgical fixation of proximal humerus fractures (PHF) are available to address their relatively high failure rate....
-
Union rates and functional outcome of double plating of the femur: systematic review of the literature
BackgroundThe optimal treatment strategy for the surgical management of femur fractures and non-unions remains unknown. The aim of this study is to...

Management of Refractory Aseptic Subtrochanteric Non-union by Dual Plating
BackgroundSubtrochanteric fractures are challenging to treat because of their anatomical and biomechanical behaviours. Non-unions of this region...

Use of the 95-degree angled blade plate with biological and mechanical augmentation to treat proximal femur non-unions: a case series
BackgroundIntertrochanteric and subtrochanteric non-union are rare but challenging complications. In the present study, we investigate the use of a...

Breakage of intramedullary femoral nailing or femoral plating: how to prevent implant failure
IntroductionIntramedullary (IM) fixation is the dominant treatment for pertrochanteric and femoral shaft fractures. In comparison to plate...

Fracture risk after intralesional curettage of atypical cartilaginous tumors
IntroductionThe need for curettage of atypical cartilaginous tumors (ACT) is under debate. Curretage results in defects that weaken the bone...

Distal Radius Fracture: Combination of Volar Plating/Dorsal Bridge Plate
We present the case of a 26-year-old male laborer, who sustained a high-energy, intra-articular distal radius and ulna styloid fracture. He developed...

Does augmentation of intramedullary nails by a buttress plate effectively restore lateral wall integrity in intertrochanteric fractures
BackgroundRecent studies have proved the importance of intact lateral trochanteric wall, thus buttressing/fixing the broken lateral trochanteric wall...

Comparable results using 2.0-mm vs. 3.5-mm screw augmentation in midshaft clavicle fractures: a 10-year experience
PurposeAbsence of cortical alignment in wedge-shaped and multifragmentary fractures (Fx) results in decreased fixation stability. The aim of this...

Failed Fixation of Clavicle Fracture
Clavicle fractures are common injuries. Many non-displaced clavicle fractures are successfully treated non-operatively, while displaced and shortened...

Preliminary clinical and radiographic outcomes of proximal humeral fractures: comparison of ALPS and PHILOS plating in Asian patients in Taiwan
BackgroundUp to 20% of proximal humeral fractures need to be treated operatively. However, numerus complications were reported by using fixed angled...
-
Choice of Management and Techniques of Proximal Humeral Fixation
Proximal humerus fracture is the third most common fracture in patients with osteoporosis. Most of such fractures can be treated conservatively....

Minimally invasive double-plating osteosynthesis of the distal femur
ObjectiveTechnical description of minimally invasive double-plating of the distal femur.
IndicationsPeri- and interprosthetic distal femur fractures...

Cement-augmented locked plate fixation proximal humerus fractures in elderly patient: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BackgroundThis systemic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of proximal humeral fracture in elderly patient fixation...
-
Distal Radius Plate Failed Fixation
Treatment of distal radius fractures has evolved to more frequent operative treatment and from pin and external fixation to fracture-specific plating...

Clinical outcomes of femoral shaft non-union: dual plating versus exchange nailing with augmentation plating
BackgroundBy comparing clinical outcomes between dual plating (DP) and exchange nailing with augmentation plating (EN/AP), we aimed to provide better...

Double plating with autogenous bone grafting as a salvage procedure for recalcitrant humeral shaft nonunion
BackgroundAlthough most cases of humeral shaft nonunion respond well to surgical intervention, surgeons still encounter patients with humeral shaft...
