“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 -
Surgical approach for exposing the posterior column of the tibia plateau
“Repositioning and fixation of fractures involving the posterior column of the tibial plateau are clinical challenges. Additionally, depending on the four-column classification of the tibial plateau, there are variations in the surgical approaches for fractures involving the posterior media...Read more -
Application Skills And Key Points of Locking Plates(Part 1)
A locking plate is a fracture fixation device with a threaded hole. When a screw with a threaded head is screwed into the hole, the plate becomes a (screw) angle fixation device. Locking (angle-stable) steel plates can have both locking and non-locking screw holes for different screws to be screw...Read more -
Arc center distance：Image parameters for evaluating the displacement of Barton’s fracture on the palmar side
The most commonly used imaging parameters for evaluating distal radius fractures typically include volar tilt angle（VTA), ulnar variance, and radial height. As our understanding of the anatomy of the distal radius has deepened, additional imaging parameters such as anteroposterior distance (APD)...Read more -
Understanding Intramedullary Nails
Intramedullary nailing technology is a commonly used orthopedic internal fixation method. Its history can be traced back to the 1940s. It is widely used in the treatment of long bone fractures, nonunions, etc., by placing an intramedullary nail in the center of the medullary cavity. Fix the fract...Read more -
Distal Radius Fracture: Detailed Explanation of External Fixation Surgical Skills with Pictures And Texts!
1.Indications 1).Severe comminuted fractures have obvious displacement, and the articular surface of the distal radius is destroyed. 2).The manual reduction failed or the external fixation failed to maintain the reduction. 3).Old fractures. 4).Fracture malunion or non...Read more -
Ultrasound-guided “expansion window” technique assists in the reduction of distal radius fractures at the volar aspect of the joint
The most common treatment for distal radius fractures is the volar Henry approach with the use of locking plates and screws for internal fixation. During the internal fixation procedure, it is typically not necessary to open the radiocarpal joint capsule. Joint reduction is achieved through an ex...Read more
