Dynamic Compression Plating Versus Antegrade Intramedullary Nailing for the Treatment of OTA/AO 12-A Fractures: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Fractures of the humerus diaphysis are common and often result from motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). Treatment methods range from nonoperative approaches to various operative techniques, including antegrade intramedullary nailing (AIMN) and dynamic compression plate (DCP) fixation. This study aimed to compare the cost effectiveness and outcomes of plating and nailing for humerus diaphyseal fractures.

Vertical Patella Fracture Fixed by Plate and Screws With Bone Graft: A Case Report.

Fractures of the patella constitute approximately 1% of all skeletal injuries. The vertical pattern represents 12-17% and the open patella fracture represents 6-30%. We here represent a rare case constituting the presence of these two uncommon (vertical type patella fracture with depression of articular surface).
