Compared to plate fixation, this technique exerts less stress shielding and causes less damage to the periosteum and soft tissue, but it is technically demanding, has a long treatment duration, and ...

External fixation is a method that provides stability and good alignment of the fracture, and permits early mobilization of adjacent joints.

Objective To compare the fixation methods for tibial pilon fractures among patients treated in a hospital. Methods We analyzed the medical records of 28 patients who underwent a surgical procedure for ...

The Phantom® Fibula Nail System adds to Paragon 28’s innovative foot and ankle fracture portfolio which includes the Gorilla® Ankle Fracture System, Gorilla® Pilon Plating System, Baby ...

Skin Antisepsis before Surgical Fixation of Extremity Fractures Results A total of 6785 patients with a closed fracture and 1700 patients with an open fracture were included in the trial.

We report on a case with a tibial pilon fracture and soft-tissue necrosis that we treated using limited internal fixation combined with a circular external fixator (LIFCEF) and reverse sural artery ...

An external pelvic fixator is a surgical procedure that stabilizes a broken hip or pelvic bone. A surgeon will use small screws, pins, and carbon fiber bars to stabilize the fracture.
