Open Reduction and Internal Fixation with Plate and Screw versus Triplanar External Fixation in the Surgical Treatment of Calcaneal Fractures: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

: The treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACF) is debated. This study compares open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with minimally invasive osteosynthesis (MIOS). : We conducted a retrospective study on 70 patients with DIACF treated between January 2018 and September 2022, divided into ORIF ( = 50) and MIOS ( = 20) groups.

Use of 3D printing and pre-contouring plate in the surgical planning of acetabular fractures: A systematic review.

Background: Acetabular fractures are caused by high energy injuries. The treatment aims to reconstruct the articular surface, restoring the anatomical structure. The surgical management of these fractures is difficult because it requires familiarity with the 3D anatomy of the pelvis.

Locked Intramedullary Nailing versus Compression Plating for Stable Ulna Fractures: A Comparative Study.

Background: Isolated ulna shaft fractures (USFs) are a relatively uncommon, but significant, injury. For unstable USF treatment, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is the gold standard, while for stable USFs several procedures were described. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes in patients with stable USFs treated by either ORIF or intramedullary nail (IMN).

Conservative Treatment of Chronic Achilles Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review.

Achilles tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal disorder. Athletes, runners and jumpers, and the sedentary are frequently affected. Numerous are the therapeutic choices to manage these kinds of disorders.

Open Tibial Fracture in a Non-Compliant Patient: A Case Report.

Open tibial fractures represent the most frequent fractures of long bones, comprising approximately 1.9% of all fractures. Although locked intramedullary nailing is the gold standard for treating closed and unstable tibia diaphyseal fractures, for most exposed fractures, an external fixator can first be used, followed by conversion through an intramedullary nail.
