..A study of the Part II database was undertaken to detect changing patterns of care for intertrochanteric fractures...

..Plate fixation is stable and addresses the entire length of the femur. Soft tissue concerns due to surgical exposure can be minimized by the use of submuscular placement technique...

..This study was performed to compare the efficacy of those two solutions in the treatment of open fractures in humans...

..In intertrochanteric fractures, lag screw cutout can be prevented by correct implant positioning. In femoral neck fractures, nonunion can be avoided by careful attention to reduction and hardware positioning...

..Understanding the common complications will aid in preventing them and will allow recognition and provide treatment strategies when such problems occur...

..Nonunion may occur in up to 15% of patients who have been treated surgically. Loss of fixation often is caused by poor quality bone in the osteopenic humeral head. Nerve injury can occur as a result of trauma or from treatment...

..To investigate negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to prevent wound dehiscence and infection after high-risk lower extremity trauma...

..The present study was designed to identify changes in practice patterns regarding operative fixation of distal radial fractures between 1999 and 2007 and to assess the results of those treatments over time...

..To determine the use of surgical débridement in the management of low-velocity gunshot injuries (GSIs) resulting in pelvis fractures...

..Key technical points for successful outcomes include proper patient positioning, using a correct starting point for the nail, achieving acceptable reduction before fixation, and the use of various reduction techniques and aids...

..Minimal screw plate technique was stable fixation, despite not having 6 cortices on both sides of the fracture. Technical emphasis should be on adequate plate length rather than number of cortices of fixation in each segment...

..Research regarding bone morphogenesis and the synthesis of multiple compounds has created new options for treating tibial fractures with bone loss...

..Repair or reattachment of the meniscus can be difficult. We describe the technique of using Kirschner wire holes in proximal tibial plates for anchoring the meniscus...

..To determine the relationship between muscle strength recovery and functional outcome in patients who were treated for an acetabular fracture via an anterior approach...

..The hemorrhage was complicated by anticoagulation and a traumatic setting. Based on our complication, we believe great care should be taken when placing a vacuum-assisted closure device adjacent to an exposed artery...

..To identify factors affecting the outcomes of surgery for acetabular fracture in patients over the age of 60 years...

..Early fracture fixation may be associated with secondary brain injury. We undertook this study to investigate the effect of reamed intramedullary nailing on cerebral perfusion...

..Several variations of external fixation have been developed, and its use is now widespread. However, in the United States, all but a minority of surgeons still have substantial apprehension about the use of external fixation...

..Patients with osteotomy tended toward a higher incidence of posttraumatic arthritis, but Harris hip scores at 2 years were identical to matched comparisons. No adverse effects of trochanteric osteotomy were identified...

..Nonclinical factors likely include a push by industry for new technology and new markets as well as the general interest of the public in "minimally invasive" surgery...

..To perform a descriptive study of the course, treatment decisions, complications, and outcome of patients suffering simultaneous ipsilateral fractures of the femur and pelvis...

..We undertook an anatomical study to evaluate the safety of pins placed across the bases of the first and second metatarsals, spanning the first intermetarsal space...
