Fractures of the distal end radius should be treated on same principles as other fractures involving joints. Displaced articular require open reduction to allow anatomical reconstruction both radiocarpal and radio-ulnar For extra-articular with severe comminution shortening this enables radial length re-established achieving congruency. Stable internal fixation can achieved two 2.0 AO titanium plates placed each 'lateral' 'intermediate' columns wrist at an angle 50 degrees 70 degrees. This...
Background: The impact of an unrepaired fracture the ulnar styloid base on recovery after internal fixation a distal part radius is uncertain. We evaluated series patients with internally fixed to test hypothesis that there no difference in wrist motion or function scores between those untreated and fracture. Methods: Two cohorts seventy-six matched patients, one other fracture, were retrospectively analyzed by examining data gathered prospective study plate-and-screw radial fractures....
Stable fixation of fractures the distal radius can be achieved by using two 2.0 mm titanium plates placed on radial and intermediate columns angled 50 degrees to 70 apart. We describe our results with this method in a prospective series 74 (58 severely comminuted) 73 consecutive patients. Early postoperative mobilisation was possible all except four wrists. All patients, other injuries, returned work daily activities no limitations. The anatomical were excellent or good 72 patients fair one....
Abstract Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) cells freshly isolated from adipose tissue include osteogenic- and vascular-progenitors, yet their relevance in bone fracture healing is currently unknown. Here, we investigated whether human SVF directly contribute to the repair of experimental fractures nude rats, explored feasibility/safety clinical use for augmentation upper arm elderly individuals. Human were loaded onto ceramic granules within fibrin gel implanted critical rat femoral after...
Primary acute heart failure (AHF) is a common cause of hospitalization. AHF may also develop postoperatively (pAHF). The aim this study was to assess the incidence, phenotypes, determinants and outcomes pAHF following non-cardiac surgery.A total 9164 consecutive high-risk patients undergoing 11 262 inpatient surgeries were prospectively included. outcome pAHF, centrally adjudicated by independent cardiologists, determined. incidence 2.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.2-2.8%); 51% occurred...

Operative treatment using plate fixation is an important adjunct in the of distal radius fractures, although evidence for its superiority over other modalities remains limited. We propose a new concept fractures radius, based on three-column model and expanding knowledge about different fracture patterns obtained by evaluation computed tomographic (CT) scan. All types can be characterized subdividing wrist joint into four corners, each with own characteristics terms mobility, stability,...
Summary: The unstable shoulder girdle—a combination of a scapular neck fracture with clavicular fracture, acromioclavicular dislocation, or sternoclavicular dislocation—represents rare and often underestimated injury. Sufficient treatment to permit early function is necessary avoid frozen as well treat concomitant thoracic injuries. This possible only by open reduction internal fixation. In most cases this can be achieved sole osteosynthesis the We retrospectively analyzed 12 classified...
Classification, the definition of an acceptable reduction and indications for surgery in distal radius fracture management are still subject debate. The purpose this study was to characterise current Europe.During European Congress Trauma Emergency Surgery (ECTES) 2015 a 20-question multiple-choice survey conducted among attending surgeons residents hand wrist session. Consensus defined as more than 50 % identical answers (moderate consensus 50-75 high 75 %).A total 46 participated survey....
To evaluate the long-term results of external fixation distal radius fractures.A retrospective follow-up study (median follow-up, 5.3 years) 49 patients with 50 fractures treated an fixator was carried out. An (Minifixator, Stratec Medical, Waldenburg, Switzerland) used. The operative procedure is described in detail. A personal evaluation including clinical and radiologic assessment both wrists performed.The functional results, parameters strength, daily activities, range motion, presence...
Fractures of the volar articular margin distal part radius with radiocarpal subluxation (volar shearing, or Barton, fractures) can be accompanied by a fracture dorsal metaphyseal cortex. We tested null hypothesis that there is no difference in wrist function health status after open reduction and plate-and-screw fixation between shearing fractures cortical (complete articular, AO Type C) those without (partial B).In multicenter cohort study, fifty-seven patients marginal were followed for at...
With an ever-increasing elderly population, orthopaedic surgeons are faced with treating a high number of fragility fractures. Biomechanical tests have demonstrated the potential role osteoporosis in increased risk fracture fixation complications, yet this has not been sufficiently proven clinical practice. Based on knowledge, two studies were designed to investigate influence local bone quality occurrence complications patients distal radius and proximal humerus fractures treated by open...
"Chevron"-Olecranon osteotomies are commonly used for the approach to intraarticular distal humerus fractures but often associated with procedure related complications. We studied triceps reflecting (TRA) preservation of extensor apparatus as a safe alternative giving sufficient exposure elbow joint and helping achieve anatomical fracture reduction intact olecranon template. performed retrospective review at two trauma centres identified 31 skeletally mature treated TRA. 24 patients returned...
IntroductionFormal training for surgeons regarding intraoperative imaging is lacking. This project investigated the effect of an educational intervention focusing on obtaining and assessing a standardized lateral view proximal femur during intramedullary nailing pertrochanteric fracture.Materials methodsAnatomical landmarks that can be identified using fluoroscopy criteria image quality, i.e. quality projection were defined in consensus process, followed by development materials 7-item...
