The tensioned locking plate technique takes advantage of two fracture healing modalities. A direct healing effect from osteon bridging due to lag screw compression is combined with axial and angular stability provided by a locking plate construct.

Introduction: Although there is no consensus in the literature, it is believed that the Soong classification system and fracture pattern are risk factors for plate removal in distal radius fractures.
Hypothesis: The aim of this large-scale study was to evaluate the relationship between Soong classification, fracture pattern, and implant removal in distal radius fractures.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 795 patients who underwent surgery using a volar locking plate for distal radius fractures at our clinic between 2005 and 2022.

Background: Length unstable femoral shaft fractures in school-aged children usually demand surgical treatment, but the optimal choice remains controversial, especially in overweight adolescents. This study aimed to compare the clinical results of locking compression plates (LCP) and elastic stable intramedullary nails (ESIN) combined with temporary external fixator (TEF) in school-aged children weighing over 50 kg.
Methods: Between January 2010 and January 2018, children over 50 kg with length unstable femoral shaft fracture treated with ESIN & EF in the authors' institute were included in this study.

Introduction: Aseptic recalcitrant nonunion (ARNU) of the femur and tibia is an entity in which the absence of bony union, misalignment, and limb length discrepancies (LLD) coexist. Currently, the management of these cases lacks consensus. This study aimed to describe the bone union rate and deformity correction outcomes in patients with ARNU of the femur or tibia treated with the Induced Membrane Technique (IMT).
