..We describe a technique of acute posterior pelvic ring reduction and stabilization using a percutaneously inserted iliosacral screw as a resuscitation adjunct...

..We developed a mouse femoral fracture model with implants of different stiffness, and hypothesized that differential fracture healing would result...

..We hypothesized that substituting slots for holes in the near cortex under a locked plate would lead to predictably lower stiffness without diminishing implant stability...

....

..We also sought to determine whether different injury patterns and varying severity of displacement lead to different amounts of passive recoil...

..The purpose of this proof of concept study was to determine the effects of slots on stiffness and their ability to maintain fixation of locking plates under cyclic loading...

..We present a technique of internal rotation and taping of the lower extremities as an alternative or supplemental pelvic closed reduction method...

..The purpose of this study was to evaluate the neurologic complications after percutaneous iliosacral screw placement without neurodiagnostic monitoring...

..Use of this modified entry site may reduce soft tissue injury with nailing procedures and minimize subsequent hip pain...

..Few treatment guidelines and long-term outcomes are available. The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term functional outcomes of patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation...

..This would be useful for indirect reduction and stabilization of the posterior pelvis. The purpose of this study was to determine the forces achieved by this construct compared with other forms of fixation...

..This anterior subcutaneous pelvic fixator consists of pedicle screws placed in the supraacetabular region connected by a contoured connecting rod placed subcutaneously and above the abdominal muscle fascia...

..The exposure has the advantage of excellent visualization of the articular surface up to the medial shoulder of the plafond while avoiding dissection of the anteromedial tibial surface...

..Hip fractures in the elderly are associated with high 1-year mortality rates, but whether patients with other lower extremity fractures are exposed to a similar mortality risk is not clear...

....

..To evaluate the results in patients with open AO/OTA type C3 pilon fractures with segmental bone loss who were treated with a standard treatment protocol...

..To evaluate the prevalence and magnitude of sagittal plane deformity in bicondylar tibial plateau fractures...

..At an early stage of fracture healing, pause-inserted loading led to more histologically advanced healing...

..The purpose of this study was to define the relationship of this surgical interval to the lateral plating zone of the proximal humerus and to the penetrating vascular supply of the humeral head...

..Arthrosis occurs frequently, and may occur primarily at the time of injury or from chronic alteration of intraarticular contact forces secondary to development of a nonunion...

..2 (0, best; 100, worst). This approach allowed direct access to the lateral fracture planes for fracture reduction and plate placement or safe nail and interlocking screw placement...

..The insertion of interlocking screws at a slightly oblique angle may cause a substantial degree of rotational deformity, and this factor has not been evaluated as a cause of malrotation...

..Appropriate study design is the main factor that affects the clinical applicability of the findings and the accuracy of the conclusions...

..We present a simple technique of quickly and safely determining screw length using a blunt-tipped Kirschner wire and instruments found in basic orthopaedic sets...

..This study aims to critically analyze the cortical step sign in cadaveric specimens using radiographic and direct measurements...

..The purpose of the present study was to determine the current practice among orthopaedic surgeons regarding the management of posterior malleolus fractures...

....

....

..An initial reduction of the medial fracture indirectly restores the scapular relationship, allowing for subsequent completion of the articular reduction via a limited approach to the posterior shoulder using the same incision...

..An antibiotic cement rod in the diaphysis may provide fracture stabilization. Locking full-length constructs should be considered for osteoporotic fractures...

..This surgical approach allows exposure of the proximal humerus and indirect reduction of the fracture, with subsequent locking plate fixation, adhering to the principles of biological fixation...

..The purpose of this study was to analyse the ability of a new helical blade device to stabilise intertrochanteric hip fractures, and to further determine which factors are important in implant stability...

....

..The purpose of this study was to determine the area, dimensions, and orientation of the gluteus medius footprint to provide an improved understanding of its insertional anatomy...

..The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of operative fixation of unstable pelvic ring injuries in diminishing acute pain...

..A number of advantages to using the newer internal fixators have been described, but there are still several indications for traditional compression plating...

..To evaluate the variability of the ideal trochanteric starting point as a possible cause for malreduction of subtrochanteric fractures and to analyze the accuracy of contralateral templating to predict correct entry site...

..A thorough understanding of the risks associated with obesity and the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges involved with femoral shaft fractures in this setting is paramount to achieve adequate results...

..Unstable ankle fractures should be evaluated carefully for evidence of posteromedial involvement so appropriate treatment may proceed...

..The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of intramedullary fibular fixation to maintain reduction until healing and to determine the overall complication rate in high-energy pilon fractures associated with fibular fractures...

..The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of posterior skin involvement in tongue-type calcaneus fractures and to determine the patient and fracture characteristics that lead to high-risk situations...

..The purpose of this study was to determine the risk of iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury in a consecutive series of supracondylar fractures treated using a standardized technique of crossed pin placement...

....

..We know of no reports of osseous hydatidosis presenting as a femoral shaft nonunion. A discussion of the challenges in diagnosis and treatment of osseous hydatidosis are discussed, and the literature on osseous hydatidosis is reviewed...
