Fracture of the fibular shaft resulting from violence seldom occurs without involving the tibia or without simultaneous injury at the ankle. A rotational force normally fractures the bone more proximally than the tibia, the most common place being at the junction of the middle and upper third of ...
Recipient site evaluation includes identifying appropriate vessels to perfuse the flap, determining appropriate patient positioning, and choosing the method of bone fixation. All types of implants should be available (eg, plates, screws, K-wires, external fixators, and intramedullary nails). Before sur...
Often masquerading as “innocent little cracks,” neglected or missed proximal metaphyseal fractures can lead to significant problems for the patient. Two distinct types of fracture occur in this region, each with its own distinct set of complications. ...
In this study we compare the results of two groups of patients who underwent surgery for these types of fracture, one group received locking and the other non-locking screws, both using one-third tubular plates. METHODS: Sixty-two patients, aged over 64 years, underwent surgery for ...
A broken fibula means that the thinner of the two bone in the foreleg has a fracture, a crack in the bone tissue. Many types of fractures can occur,... See full answer below.including simple cracks in the tissue that do not travel completely through the bone and compound fractures that...
Statistical analysis of patients discharged after recovery and postoperative functional recovery effect is the result of two types of treatment programs. Results Patient discharge time of the experimental group was significantly earlier than in the control group; the experimental group fracture healing time...
Fracture of the tibia with additional injury of the ankle joint. A frequent and undervalued combination There are 2 types of a combined tibia fracture and ankle injury: in Type I the tibia fracture extends directly into the ankle joint, in Type II the tibia f......
tissue is considered to be old tissue. Plane strain modulus strain modulus of old tissue is higher than that of young tissue22,40. The first type of bone tissue that appears in embryonic development and in fracture repair (woven bone) have been recently studied in fetal/infantile bone femurs...
and suspicion for compartment syndrome may require emergent surgical intervention. Tibial diaphyseal fractures are the most common reason for developing compartment syndrome. Fibular fractures rarely result in lateral compartment syndrome. Malunion, nonunion, and refracture rates are low, but inappropriate...
Fractures of the lateral malleolus are fairly common. A shearing fracture of the whole malleolus is caused by abduction or lateral rotation and anavulsion fractureof the tip by adductor force. Severe violence can causediastasis(rupture) of the tibiofibular ligament (Adams and Hamblen, 1992). ...
