Abstract
Distal radius fractures represent the most common fractures in adult individuals. Volar fixed-angle plating has become a popular modality for treating unstable distal radius fractures. Most of the plates allow insertion of either threaded locking screws or smooth locking pegs. To date, no biomechani...

Abstract
The radiological outcomes of 31 corrective osteotomies for malunion of the distal radius were assessed. The procedure re-established normal anatomy in the majority of cases. There was no significant difference in outcome between the dorsal and the palmar approach, but more secondary procedures for h...

Abstract
Plate fixation remains the primary surgical treatment option for most adult forearm fractures. However, intramedullary nailing can be successful and might be preferable in cases of massive soft-tissue injury and burns, certain segmental fractures, pathologic fractures, and skeletally immature adoles...

Abstract
Intramedullary fixation is the latest in a variety of techniques that have been developed to manage distal radius fractures. Intramedullary nailing of these fractures combines the soft-tissue advantages of a less invasive surgical approach with the biomechanical advantages of locking screw technolog...

Abstract
Surgical management of distal radius fractures continues to evolve because of their high incidence in an increasingly active elderly population. Traditional radiocarpal external fixation relies on ligamentotaxis for fracture reduction but has several drawbacks. Nonbridging external fixation has evol...

Abstract
Surgical treatment options for distal radius fractures are many and commonly involve volar locked plating. More recently, newer volar locking plates have been introduced to the market that allow the placement of independent distal subchondral variable-angle locking screws to better achieve targeted...

Abstract
Pediatric radial neck fractures represent 5-10% of all elbow fractures. Open reduction allows anatomic fracture fixation but compromises the vulnerable blood supply of the radial head. Intramedullary nailing combines the advantages of closed reduction and stable internal fracture fixation.

Our center has operatively managed DFFx with increased frequency over the past decade. IMN had a complication rate of 14.6% and was frequently not "minimally invasive." An open fracture site delayed healing. Compartment syndrome was more frequent when IMN was used the day of injury and older childre...

Abstract
We report a rare fracture of the proximal radial metaphysis in an 11-year-old child, involving an anterior displacement of the proximal radial metaphysis instead of a displacement of the epiphysis, which preserved its normal connections with the capitellum. This fracture was successfully treated by...

In 13 cases, functional range of motion was obtained within 6 weeks of surgery. At final follow-up, 14 patients had a stable, pain-free elbow with a mean active range of motion of 13 degrees to 140 degrees . The average score on the Mayo elbow performance score was 98. INTERPRETATION: The use of the...

Abstract
Thirteen patients (14 elbows) were reviewed at a mean follow-up of 63 months, four patients at a mean follow-up of 11 month (range, 6 to 18 months), and five patients were lost to follow-up. All patients had stable elbow joint and in 90% of the cases, patients reported mild or no elbow pain. The arc...

Abstract
The LCP plate was biomechanically superior and may be generally recommended for the volar plating of distal radius fractures. Except one plate failure, the bioresorbable plate was similar to the T plate in the quasi-static tests and should, therefore, be considered for clinical studies, with patient...
