Screw and bone cement fixation technique for proximal humeral fractures
Over the past few decades, the incidence of proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) has increased by more than 28%, and the surgical rate has increased by more than 10% in patients aged 65 years and older. Obviously, decreased bone density and increased number of falls are maj...Read more -
Introducing a precise method for inserting distal tibiofibular screws: the angle bisector method
"10% of ankle fractures are accompanied by distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury. Studies have shown that 52% of distal tibiofibular screws result in poor reduction of the syndesmosis. Inserting the distal tibiofibular screw perpendicular to the syndesmosis joint surfac...Read more -
Schatzker type II tibial plateau fracture: “windowing” or “book opening”?
Tibial plateau fractures are common clinical injuries, with Schatzker type II fractures, characterized by lateral cortical split combined with lateral articular surface depression, being the most prevalent. To restore the depressed articular surface and reconstruct the n...Read more -
Posterior Spinal surgery Technique and Surgical Segmental Errors
Surgical patient and site errors are serious and preventable. According to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, such errors can be made in up to 41% of orthopedic/pediatric surgeries. For spine surgery, a surgical site error occurs when a ve...Read more -
Common Tendon Injuries
Tendon rupture and defect are common diseases, mostly caused by injury or lesion, in order to restore the function of the limb, the ruptured or defective tendon must be repaired in time. Tendon suturing is a more complex and delicate surgical technique. Because the tendo...Read more -
Orthopedic Imaging: The “Terry Thomas Sign” and Scapholunate Dissociation
Terry Thomas is a famous British comedian known for his iconic gap between his front teeth. In wrist injuries, there is a type of injury whose radiographic appearance resembles Terry Thomas's tooth gap. Frankel referred to this as the ...Read more -
Internal Fixation of Distal Medial Radius Fracture
Currently, distal radius fractures are treated in various ways, such as plaster fixation, incision and reduction internal fixation, external fixation bracket, etc. Among them, palmar plate fixation can achieve more satisfactory results, but some literature reports that i...Read more -
The issue of selecting the thickness of intramedullary nails for the long tubular bones of the lower limbs.
Intramedullary nailing is the gold standard for the surgical treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the long tubular bones in the lower limbs. It offers advantages such as minimal surgical trauma and high biomechanical strength, making it most commonly used in tibial, femo...Read more -
What is acromioclavicular joint dislocation?
What is acromioclavicular joint dislocation? Acromioclavicular joint dislocation refers to a type of shoulder trauma in which the acromioclavicular ligament is damaged, resulting in dislocation of the clavicle. It is a dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint caused b...Read more -
The exposure range and risk of neurovascular bundle injury in three types of posteromedial approaches to the ankle joint
46% of rotational ankle fractures are accompanied by posterior malleolar fractures. The posterolateral approach for direct visualization and fixation of the posterior malleolus is a commonly used surgical technique, offering better biomechanical advantages compared to cl...Read more -
Surgical technique: free bone flap grafting of the medial femoral condyle in the treatment of navicular malunion of the wrist.
Navicular malunion occurs in approximately 5-15% of all acute fractures of the navicular bone, with navicular necrosis occurring in approximately 3%. Risk factors for navicular malunion include missed or delayed diagnosis, proximal proximity of the fracture line, displac...Read more -
Surgical Skills | “Percutaneous Screw” Temporary Fixation Technique for Proximal Tibia Fracture
Tibial shaft fracture is a common clinical injury. Intramedullary nail internal fixation has the biomechanical advantages of minimally invasive and axial fixation, making it a standard solution for surgical treatment. There are two main nailing methods for tibial intrame...Read more
