The Operative Treatment of Fractures

Abstract

Mr. Lane has been operating on all cases of simple fracture, when he lias not been able to obtain accurate apposition of the fragments, for the last thirteen j^ears ; and this book embodies the results of his treatment.In the opening chapters the changes which take place in the skeleton when exposed to abnormal pressure from varying occupations are described, and these lead up to a section on the changes which occur as a consequence of a badly united fracture.

Kinematics of the ankle and foot: In vivo roentgen stereophotogrammetry

“…Inman (1976) in a study of cadaveric specimens stated that the difference in width was unimportant for joint kinematics in most of the examined specimens. Antero-posterior translation of the fibula has been noted by some investigators (Lane 1905, Alldredge 1940 while others have failed to demonstrate any significant motion of this kind (Ashhurst andBromer 1922, Close 1956). Craniocaudal translation of the fibula is also a matter of controversy; some investigators have found significant amounts of such motion (Lane 1905, Weinert et al 1973, Cede11 1975, Scranton et al 1976, Reimann et al 1986, others have not (Alldredge 1940, Close 1956).…”

Evolution of the Internal Fixation of Long Bone Fractures

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10] 'Bio-logical' 11 internal fixation avoids the need for precise reduction, especially of the intermediate fragments, and takes advantage of indirect reduction. 12,13 This principle applies equally to locked nailing, [14][15][16] bridge plating, [17][18][19] and internal fixator-like devices. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Indirect reduction aims only to align the fragments.…”

The development of plate osteosynthesis for the treatment of fractures of the mandibular body – A literature review

“…To gain better fixation of the plates, he took conical screw heads, which fitted exactly into the conical holes of the plates. Two years later he reported corrosion of the material during the healing process (Lane, 1895(Lane, , 1909(Lane, , 1914.…”
