[Three nonparallel screws for the treatment of femoral neck fractures].

Objective: To explore clinical effects of three nonparallel screws in treating femoral neck fractures.

Methods: From September 2008 and May 2009, 29 patients were treated, including 12 males and 17 females with an average age of 52 years (ranged from 27 to 62 years). Before operation, according to Garden classification system, 2 cases were Garden type II (undisplaced fracture), 18 cases were Garden type III (partial displaced fracture) and 9 cases were Garden type IV (complete displaced fracture).

[Selection of dorsal or volar internal fixation for unstable distal radius fractures].

Objective: To assess the results of T-plate in the treatment of unstable distal radius fractures.

Methods: Dorsal or volar T-plate fixation was used for unstable distal radius fractures according to different types of fracture. For comminuted fractures with severe cortex destruction and insufficient buttress, artificial bone graft or autograft was adopted to restore local stability.
