Introduction One of the most challenging musculoskeletal complications in modern trauma
surgery is infection after fracture fixation (IAFF). Although infections are clinically obvious in …

A trimalleolar ankle fracture is considered unstable and treatment is generally performed
operatively. Computed tomography is important for the operative planning by providing an …

Locking plates might offer a biomechanical fixation advantage for distal fibula fractures with
comminution or osteoporotic bone. In January 2011, our unit introduced a bone-specific …

Isolated distal fibula fractures represent the majority of ankle fractures. These fractures are
often the result of a low-energy trauma with external rotation and supination mechanism …

Introduction Ankle fractures represent the third most common fracture in elderly patients,
after hip and wrist fractures. Distal fibula fractures in this population are closely related to …

BACKGROUND Ankle fractures are common injuries in the young and elderly populations.
To prevent post-traumatic arthritis, an anatomic reconstruction of the ankle structure is …

Background Patient-specific 3D-printed miniplates for free flap fixation in mandibular
reconstruction were recently associated with enhanced osseous union. Higher mechanical …

Background Titanium plate fixation of free flaps in mandibular reconstruction involves
complications such as osseous non-union or imaging artefacts. Interosteotomy movement …

Background The role of locking plate in lateral malleolar fracture fixation for the elderly
remains unclear. The aim of our study is to compare radiological and functional outcomes in …

Background: Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), the standard treatment for unstable
ankle fractures, has well-known wound complications. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has …
