Background: Scaphoid excision and 4-corner fusion is a standard procedure for advanced carpal collapse. The purpose of this study was to evaluate its effectiveness using a specific designed locking plate of the latest generation.
Methods: Between October 2012 and December 2015, 12 patients underwent this procedure using the Flower (KLS Martin Group, Tuttlingen, Germany) circular locking plate. The surgical technique is standardized. Three patients were affected by a scapholunate advanced collapse and 9 patients by a scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse. All patients underwent a computed tomographic scan to study the real achievement of the fusion.
Results: Only 2 patients did not show complete fusion. All the patients with successful fusion returned to previous work and manual activities.
Conclusions: Four-corner arthrodesis with circular locking plate is an alternative surgical treatment for carpal arthritic collapse.

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).

Background: Posterolateral tibial plateau fractures pose significant challenges for orthopedic surgeons due to the anatomical risks associated with the posterolateral approach. Despite numerous surgical techniques available, there lacks a consensus on the optimal approach.
Methods: Articular line incision approach was employed on 12 patients suffering from posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.

Objective: This study aimed to report the clinical, radiographic, and computed tomography results of supracutaneous locking plate (SLP) application in radial-ulnar and tibial fractures.
Study Design: In this clinical prospective study, cats and dogs with nonarticular radial, ulnar, and tibial fractures were managed with SLP. Surgical records, fracture healing, complications, and lameness were reviewed during scheduled rechecks.

Modern techniques of rib fracture fixation surgery follow the AO principles of fracture reduction, fixation, and appropriate soft tissue handling. Fixation techniques can be performed using anatomic reduction and rigid fixation, or bridge plate fixation for comminuted fractures. Anatomic and nonanatomic plates can be used, although titanium precontoured locking plates are the most commonly used.

In order to systematically study the bending behavior of the connection joints of the disc-buckle type formwork support, the accurate numerical model of the disc-buckle type connection joints was obtained through the experimental on the bending behavior of the connection joints of the disc-buckle type, and the bending moment-rotation curve of the joints was verified. The analysis of the failure mode and stress distribution of the joints reveals the importance of the bending behavior of each component. By establishing an accurate numerical model of the joint, the accuracy of the bending experiment of the joint was verified, and the parametric analysis of the influence factors such as the depth of the wedge insertion the disk-plate, the initial position of the wedge insertion the disk-plate, the thickness of the wedge, material constitutive of the wedge and the thickness of the disk-plate was carried out to grasp the influence of the relevant parameters on the bending behavior of the joint.
