Predrilled locking compression plate is more accurate than tension band wiring in restoring articular geometry of the ulnar greater sigmoid notch after olecranon Chevron osteotomy.

Introduction: The olecranon Chevron osteotomy (OCO) is commonly used to approach complex intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus. Predrilled tension band wiring (TBW) has historically been used to fix OCO. However, clinical outcomes are burdened by secondary loss of reduction and up to 21.

Characterization of a Pre-Clinical Mini-Pig Model of Scaphoid Non-Union.

A fractured scaphoid is a common disabling injury that is frequently complicated by non-union. The treatment of non-union remains challenging because of the scaphoid's small size and delicate blood supply. Large animal models are the most reliable method to evaluate the efficacy of new treatment modalities before their translation into clinical practice.
