Abstract:

Background/Aim. Distal tibial pilon fractures include extra-articular fractures of the tibial metaphysis and the more severe intra-articular tibial pilon fractures. There is no universal method for treating distal tibial pilon fractures. These fractures are treated by means of open reduction, internal fixation (ORIF) and external skeletal fixation. The high rate of soft-tissue complications associated with primary ORIF of pilon fractures led to the use of external skeletal fixation, with limited internal fixation as an alternative technique for definitive management. The aim of this study was

Abstract:

SummaryA seven-month-old female Saluki was diagnosed with angular limb deformity due to premature closure of the left distal ulnar physis. Corrective radial osteotomy and ulnar ostectomy were performed, and the radius was stabilized with external skeletal fixation. Profuse haemorrhage occurred from the second medioproximal pin site two weeks after surgery. Removal of the pin resolved the hemorrhage. Early recognition and treatment of vascular injury secondary to vessel erosion after external skeletal fixation is necessary, as this is a serious complication. Appropriate pin placement in the rad

All of the fractures healed with the exception of fractures in two dogs. Mandibular external skeletal fixation was well tolerated and there was not any evidence of iatrogenic damage to teeth nor to neurovascular structures within the mandible. Implant loosening

External fixation is recommended instead of the combination of a bulky dressing and a posterior splint to facilitate postoperative care of free flap surgery to the lower extremity. Balanced suspension of external skeletal fixation allows adequate elevation, minimal dressing, unobstructed view of the flap for monitoring and freedom from pressure points. The slightly longer operative time required is justified by the easier postoperative care. No

Abstract:

Summary Bilateral midbody hemimandibular osteotomies were performed between premolars 3 and 4 in 18 adult dogs. Hemimandibles were repaired by use of monocortically applied bone plates (n = 6), an interdental fixator composed of an Erich arch bar and acrylic (n = 6), or a type I external skeletal fixator (n = 6). At the immediate postoperative evaluation, hemimandibles stabilized with interdental fixators had an osteotomy gap distance (mean ± SEM, 1.6 ± 0.2 mm) that was significantly (P < 0.05) greater than for hemimandibles stabilized with external skeletal fixators (1.2 ± 0.3 mm).

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to compare the stiffness of a Type II external skeletal fixator (ESF) to a 3.5 mm locking compression plate (LCP) in axial compression, mediolateral, and craniocaudal bending in a fracture gap model. The hypothesis was that the Type II ESF would demonstrate comparable stiffness to the LCP. A bone simulant consisting of short fiber reinforced epoxy cylinders and a 40 mm fracture gap was used. The LCP construct consisted of a 12 hole 3.5 mm plate with three 3.5 mm bicortical locking screws per fragment. The Type II ESF construct consisted of 3 proximal full fixa

Abstract:

A fixação híbrida do ramo mandibular é uma combinação de duas técnicas já anteriormente descritas na literatura e que oferecem bons resultados. A primeira delas é a fixação realizada por meio de miniplacas e parafusos monocorticais e a segunda é a fixação realizada por meio de parafusos bicorticais, buscando combinar os pontos positivos de cada uma delas com a finalidade de obter um resultado satisfatório para o paciente. A osteotomia sagital bilateral de mandíbula (OSBM) pode alterar a posição do côndilo na cavidade glenoide, ocasionando uma recidiva no posicionamento esquelético e muscular.

In the mathematical model, the function of bone fragments and the external fixation are simulated as a manipulator system. The proposed design has a simplified mechanism but still owners six degrees of freedom to provide enough flexibility during the operations. The adjustable working space is selected as the criteria to evaluate the performance of each feasible design of fixations.
