Filter by:Background Fractures of the distal radius are among the most common. Major complications, including irritation and rupture of the extensor tendons, may occur if epiphyseal screws of inappropriate length are used. Questions/Purposes The main objective of the present study was to determine whether the optimal epiphyseal screw length can be determined by reference to the diaphyseal screw length. Methods Forty CT scans were semi-automatically segmented. A 3D model of the volar plate was affixed to each distal radius with simulation. The maximum lengths of the diaphyseal screws, as well as the four distal epiphyseal screws, were measured. Linear regression analysis was performed.
This is a prospective clinical trial of tibial plateau fractures treated with internal fixation and a calcium sulfate graft which can be mixed with antibiotics and molded into various bead sizes for implantation into bone defects. The graft material chosen for this study is STIMULAN Rapid Cure (Biocomposites, UK), which is approved for use as a bone void filler and may be mixed with a variety of antibiotics. The combination of STIMULAN + antibiotic in bead form is the "study device". Our primary study aim is to look at resorption and remodeling of the study device into bone. Another important aim of the study is to look at subsidence, or collapse, of the joint surface.
A multicentre randomized controlled trial that will be conducted at Level 1 trauma centres across Canada. It will compare patients who receive open reduction, internal fixation for Sanders IV calcaneal fractures to patients who receive primary subtalar fusion for the same type of fracture. Patients will be followed up for a period of two years from the time of operation with evaluations being performed at 5 time points: 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months.
