[Management of diaphyseal forearm fractures using LCP angle- stable fixation devices and intramedullary nailing].

Aim Of The Study: The aim of this study is to assess treatment outcomes of diaphyseal radial and ulnar fractures using angle- stable LCP device (Synthes, Svýcarsko), compared to ForeSight intramedullary nailing (Smith&Nephew, USA).

Material And Methods: The prospective study included 80 patients with 115 forearm fractures, assigned to two equal groups, based on the fixation method. The group included 53 males and 27 females, the mean age was 36.

[Treatment of intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck with a biaxial proximal femoral nail].

Background: Intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck are mostly treated using individual cancellous screws or a dynamic hip screw in combination with anti-rotational cancellous screws. The goal of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using proximal femoral nails for the surgical stabilisation of intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck.

Methods: A total of 58 patients (30 male, 28 female) were evaluated in a retrospective study after a minimum postoperative follow-up of 24 months.

[Revision surgery in diaphyseal forearm fractures].

Purpose Of The Study: The aim of the study was to compare the results of revision surgery in diaphyseal fractures of the ulna and radius treated by intra-medullary interlocking nailing or plate osteosynthesis.

Material And Methods: The group included 36 patients who, in the period from 2000 to 2005, were treated with the use of the intra-medullary ForeSight nail system (Smith & Nephew, USA) or a small, 3.5 mm auto-compression plate (different manufacturers).

[Callus distraction lengthening of the tibia with the intramedullary kinetic nail (case report)].

In this report the first experience with callus distraction lengthening using the intramedullary kinetic nail is described. This was performed on a left tibia with a total shortening of 34 mm. The distraction phase lasted 36 days and the rate of distraction was 0.

[Treatment of proximal humeral fractures by angular stabile, antegrade, interlocking intramedullar nail].

Introduction: The objective of our study is evaluation of clinical and radiological results of dislocated proximal humeral fractures, treated by direct, angular stabile, antegrade and interlocking implants Targon PH (Aesculap, Tuttlingen, Germany).

Methods: We evaluated 102 patients (76 female and 26 male), average age was 67.3 years (26-87 years).

[Treatment of intracapsular femoral neck fractures with the use of a proximal femoral nail].

Purpose Of The Study: The management of intracapsular femoral neck fractures remains an unsolved issue of the present-day trauma surgery of the musculoskeletal system. These fractures are conventionally treated with the use of spongious screws or a dynamic hip screw combined with an antirotational spongious screw. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of surgical therapy using a different type of implant (proximal femoral nail) for intracapsular femoral neck fractures.
