Surgical Technique | Introducing a technique for temporary reduction and maintenance of the external ankle length and rotation.
Ankle fractures are a common clinical injury. Due to the weak soft tissues around the ankle joint, there is significant blood supply disruption after injury, making healing challenging. Therefore, for patients with open ankle injuries or soft tissue contusions that cannot undergo immediate intern...Read more -
Which type of heel fracture must be implanted for internal fixation?
The answer to this question is that no heel fracture necessitates bone grafting when doing internal fixation. Sanders said In 1993, Sanders et al [1] published a landmark in the history of surgical treatment of calcaneal fractures in CORR with their CT-based classification of calcaneal fract...Read more -
Anterior screw fixation for odontoid fracture
Anterior screw fixation of the odontoid process preserves the rotational function of C1-2 and has been reported in the literature to have a fusion rate of 88% to 100%. In 2014, Markus R et al published a tutorial on the surgical technique of anterior screw fixation for odontoid fractures in The...Read more -
How to avoid the ‘in-out-in’ placement of femoral neck screws during surgery?
“For non-elderly femoral neck fractures, the most commonly used internal fixation method is the ‘inverted triangle’ configuration with three screws. Two screws are placed closely to the anterior and posterior cortices of the femoral neck, and one screw is positioned below. In th...Read more -
Anterior Clavicle Revealing Path
· Applied Anatomy The entire length of the clavicle is subcutaneous and easy to visualize. The medial end or sternal end of the clavicle is coarse, with its articular surface facing inward and downward, forming the sternoclavicular joint with the clavicular notch of the sternal handle; the latera...Read more -
Dorsal Scapular Exposure Surgical Pathway
· Applied Anatomy In front of the scapula is the subscapular fossa, where the subscapularis muscle starts. Behind is the outward and slightly upward traveling scapular ridge, which is divided into supraspinatus fossa and infraspinatus fossa, for the attachment of supraspinatus and infraspinatus m...Read more -
“Internal fixation of humeral shaft fractures using medial internal plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) technique.”
The acceptable criteria for the healing of humeral shaft fractures are an anterior-posterior angulation of less than 20°, lateral angulation of less than 30°, rotation of less than 15°, and shortening of less than 3cm. In recent years, with increasing demands for upper l...Read more -
Minimally invasive total hip replacement with direct superior approach reduces muscle damage
Since Sculco et al. first reported the small-incision total hip arthroplasty (THA) with posterolateral approach in 1996, several new minimally invasive modifications have been reported. Nowadays, the minimally invasive concept has been widely transmitted and gradually accepted by clinicians. Howe...Read more -
5 Tips for Intramedullary Nail Fixation of Distal Tibial Fractures
The two lines of the poem “cut and set internal fixation, closed set intramedullary nailing” aptly reflect the attitude of orthopedic surgeons towards the treatment of distal tibia fractures. To this day, it is still a matter of opinion whether plate screws or intramedullary nails are...Read more -
Surgical Technique | Ipsilateral Femoral Condyle Graft Internal Fixation for the Treatment of Tibial Plateau Fractures
Lateral tibial plateau collapse or split collapse is the most common type of tibial plateau fracture. The primary goal of surgery is to restore the smoothness of the joint surface and align the lower limb. The collapsed joint surface, when elevated, leaves a bone defect beneath the cartilage, oft...Read more -
Tibial Intramedullary Nail (suprapatellar approach )for the treatment of tibial fractures
The suprapatellar approach is a modified surgical approach for tibial intramedullary nail in the semi-extended knee position. There are many advantages, but also disadvantages, to performing intramedullary nail of the tibia via the suprapatellar approach in the hallux valgus position. Some surgeo...Read more -
Isolational “tetrahedron” type fracture of the distal radius: characteristics and internal fixation strategies
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures in clinical practice. For the majority of distal fractures, good therapeutic results can be achieved through palmar approach plate and screw internal fixation. In addition, there are various special types of distal radius fractures, suc...Read more
