Dean G. Lorich addressed the pelvic fracture and the distal tibia fracture. A spanning external fixator was placed for initial fixation with concurrent fibula ORIF including placement of a Locking ...

David L. Helfet. Radiographs revealed a right-sided displaced distal tibial pilon fracture with extensive articular comminution and associated displaced fibula fracture with significant soft tissue ...

[14] Training can begin with the use of a skeletal model, where different types of fractures can be reproduced and immobilized with the external fixator. Additional training is available with ...

A study published in 2025 evaluated the impact of different fibular fixation methods in the context of complex pilon fractures, revealing that appropriate fixation may minimise post-traumatic ...

The fracture is then reduced by applying traction to the finger and mobilizing the proximal and distal fragments by external pressure. The fixator frame is assembled with pin holders, vises and ...

Objective: To investigate the biomechanical strength of cementless long-stem fixation for the treatment of periprosthetic clamshell fracture. Methods: Eighteen Sawbones artificial femur models were ...

In this study, we propose a novel approach utilizing a modified suture bridge fixation technique to treat PCL tibial avulsion fractures and explore the clinical outcome and applicability. Methods: We ...

Pelvic fracture symptoms depend on the severity of the break but can include groin pain and trouble walking. Severe breaks can involve loss of consciousness and internal bleeding. Most pelvic ...
