OBJECTIVE: The current retrospective case-control study examines the prognostic value of radiologic parameters for long-term clinical outcome assessment after a calcaneus fracture.

METHODS: In the authors' trauma department 262 adult patients with an ...

Background: Patient tracking helps improve workflow, decrease wait times, optimize costs, and enhance medical treatment in the outpatient setting. In that regard, real-time patient tracking may serve as a potential way to perform efficient patient care. ...

The purpose of this prospective randomized comparative biomechanical study on four pairs of human cadaveric forearms was to discern whether primary stability following plate arthrodesis differs from the position of the screws. Four wrists were randomly ...

Introduction: The importance of the vitality of a nonunion is crucial for the planning of the reconstructive procedure. Purpose of the present study is to analyze the role of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in diagnosing and planning ...

Fractures of the femoral bone are frequent injuries with a wide range of affected individuals. New treatment strategies and technologies are being explored permanently. Their quality is biomechanically judged by the accuracy of the anatomical reduction. ...

Introduction: Intramedullary nailing has become the gold standard in the treatment of femoral shaft fractures. This procedure involves the placement of distal interlocking bolts using the freehand technique. Accurate placement of distal interlocks can ...

The optimal forearm boom should facilitate dynamic investigation of the wrist and approaches for wrist arthroscopy. It should be safely fixed at the operating table without any contact with the patient. It must be compatible with the arm of any patient ...

Introduction: The insertion site for an antegrade femoral intramedullary nail in the treatment of a femoral shaft fracture has traditionally been performed using a free-hand technique. An inappropriate starting point can result in suboptimal nail ...

Introduction: In a complete dislocation of the talus, the talus is stripped of all its ligament connections in the triple articulated ankle joint. This case report describes the treatment and the 3-year follow-up of a complete dislocation of the talus ...

The purpose of this prospective randomized comparative biomechanical study on six pairs of human cadaveric forearms was to study the mechanism of implant loosening and loss of lunate positioning and to discern whether primary stability following staple ...

Purpose: Traditional surgical techniques for radiolunate arthrodesis typically result in an unsatisfactory primary stability. Thus cast immobilisation is implemented until bone healing is complete. Nonunion and implant dislocation are frequent ...

The main problems in intra-medullary nailing of femoral shaft-fractures are leg-length discrepancies and rotational differences with an incidence of 2-18% and 20-40% respectively. These may lead to severe postoperative sequelae such as additional ...
