Implant that has been used for fixation of a broken wrist. Closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) is reduction without any open surgery, followed by internal fixation. It appears to be an acceptable alternative in unstable distressed lateral condylar fractures of the humerus in children, but if fracture displacement after closed reduction exceeds 2 mm, open reduction and internal fixation ...
They come in different sizes and are used to hold bone fragments together (pin fixation) or to provide an anchor for skeletal traction. The pins are often driven into the bone through the skin (percutaneous pin fixation) using a power or hand drill. They also form part of the Ilizarov apparatus. Kirschner wires used for fixation of a Colles ...
A tension band wire is a form of orthopaedic internal fixation [1] method used to convert distraction forces into compression forces, promoting bone healing. [citation needed] Olecranon fracture; Patella fracture; Malleolar fracture
Treatment options for distal radius fractures include nonoperative management, external fixation, and internal fixation. [4] [9] Indications for each depend on a variety of factors such as the patient's age, initial fracture displacement, and metaphyseal and articular alignment, with the ultimate goal to maximize strength and function in the ...
Percutaneous pinning is considered to be less invasive, faster, and requires less skill compared to open surgery (plate fixation). [ 1 ] Disadvantages of this technique include that the stabilized fracture is less stable compared to a surgical plate, the person may require extensive limits to their motion at the early stages, and there is a ...
Clavicle fractures occur at 30–64 cases per 100,000 a year and are responsible for 2.6–5.0% of all fractures. [15] This type of fracture occurs more often in males. [15] About half of all clavicle fractures occur in children under the age of seven and is the most common pediatric fracture.
Dynamic compression plate. A dynamic compression plate (DCP) is a metallic plate used in orthopedics for internal fixation of bone, [1] typically after fractures.As the name implies, it is designed to exert dynamic pressure between the bone fragments to be transfixed.
Maxillomandibular fixation (MMF), also known as intermaxiallary fixation (IMF), is a surgical procedure to re-establish occlusion by fixating the upper and lower teeth in their correct position. It can be used in isolation or in combination with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in treating Le Fort fractures. [6]
