We read the article by Klute et al1 with interest; however, we identified a number of issues with the article. The authors compared the socket fit, activity level, and limb volume of 2 different prosthetic suspension systems, namely a... more
A new "light" maxillo-mandibular fixation system for treatment of mandibular fractures, based on use of special pins, is proposed. Fifteen patients with non-displaced mandibular fractures (angle, body and symphysis), have been... more
The treatment of humeral shaft fractures ranges from conservative modalities to operative fixation, including plate osteosynthesis and intramedullary fixation. Nonunion is a complication of conservative and operative interventions but is... more
The percutaneous placement of lateral distal humeral pins risks injury to the radial nerve. We aimed to provide a reliable and safe parameter for the insertion of lateral distal humeral pins. A secondary aim of this study was to... more
Objective— To investigate the effect of fracture configuration on the mechanical properties of standard interlocking nails (ILNs) and a novel angle-stable ILN (ILNn) in bending.Study Design— In vitro experimental study.Sample Population—... more
Humeral shaft fractures account for about 1-3% of all fractures. These fractures are regarded as the domain of non-surgical management. This is certainly still the contemporary view but there is an obvious trend towards surgical... more
Two of the fundamental requisites for guided bone regeneration (GBR) are space maintenance and primary soft-tissue closure. Allogeneic cortical bone pins measuring 2 mm in diameter in customized lengths can protect surrounding graft... more
