Background: Advantages of the elastic intramedullary nailing (EIN) in treating diaphyseal fractures of the femur include the reduction of nearly all complications. Objective: The aim of the current work was to evaluate the results of treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the femur in children using intramedullary elastic nail. Patients and Methods: This prospective clinical trial study included a total of 18 children with femoral diaphyseal fracture treated with elastic intramedullary nails.
Background: Proximal radius of the forearm (DR) frequently sustains fractures. As life expectancy rises, more individuals are at risk for radial fractures because of the rising occurrence of these injuries. The majority of distal radial fractures occur in youngsters, teenagers, and the elderly. Between various age categories, fracture patterns, care, and consequences vary. Reviewing these distinctions, identifying which fracture patterns are emergent, and promptly referring patients for additional therapy are essential for physicians. Objective: To assess the care of distal radial fractures will be discussed in this activity. Methods: We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct for information on distal, radial fractures, youngsters, teenagers and the elderly. However, only the most current or comprehensive study from January 1986 to May 2020 was considered. The authors also assessed references from pertinent literature. Documents in languages other than English have been disregarded since there aren't enough resources for translation. Unpublished manuscripts, oral presentations, conference abstracts, and dissertations were examples of papers that weren't considered to be serious scientific research.
Conclusion:Early Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of distal radius fracture gives a better result. The results of meta-analysis are based on observational studies and, thus, further attention should be directed to studies of good methodological quality. Therefore, multicenter prospective cohort studies are required and will be able to answer these questions with more certainty and a higher level of evidence.
Introduction: Management of distal metaphyseal tibial fractures is a formidable challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. Some of the confounding factors in management are delicate soft tissue in this area, presence of ankle joint in close proximity, small distal fragment size, ligament injuries, occasional fibular fractures and compaction of cancellous bone among others. The conventional implants are unsuitable for managing such fractures successfully. Material and method: The 3.5mm anatomical anterolateral locking compression plates are precontoured plates that have been designed and developed especially for fixation of distal tibial metaphyseal fractures to overcome some of these problems. 34 patients underwent management using this implant. The study was done prospectively. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the management of such fractures with this implant and to assess the functional outcome of the same. Results: 83% of patients in our study had excellent to good functional outcome. Conclusions: We concluded that that the anatomical anterolateral plate is an excellent option for managing such fractures and gives consistent and reproducible clinical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
