... image-guided C 1 -C 2 transarticular lag screw fixation/fusion and suboccipital craniectomy, will be described along with the clinical results achieved to date. A theoretical foundation involving the key role of the vertebral artery in this syndrome will be proposed. Methods Patient Selection...

... remains controversial and a matter of debate at present. We suggest surgical treatment with intramedullary screw fixation in any Torg II fracture and Torg I in athlete patients, adding to fixation bone graft and demineralized bone matrix at the fracture site in Torg III fractures. Etiology...

... treat both these fractures as similarly high-risk fractures. Screw fixation remains controversial. Several comparative studies have reported that surgical treatment leads to a lower nonunion rate, shorter time to union and earlier return to sports than conservative treatments. We recommend early...

... locking plate with a plantar metatarsophalangeal screw has been shown to be biomechanically superior. This type of fixation has reduced the nonunion rate from 10 to 20% to 2 to 5%. Symptomatic malposition is now the leading cause of revision, with a reoperation rate threefold higher than nonunion...

... is needed to achieve weight bearing on the pulp of the toe rather than the tip. To hold the correction, a K-wire or a screw can be used. Indications [1, 2] Fixed distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) flexion deformity with ongoing symptoms...

... compression at the MTP joint. Place a temporary 2.0-mm K-wire to hold the reduction and confirm the position with fluoroscopy. Using a 3.5-mm cortical lag screw from the first MT to the medial cuneiform, from distal to proximal, aiming to be parallel to the second MT. Medartis Lapidus plate is placed...

.... The following procedures were performed: Original Lapidus arthrodesis (Aptus System 2.8 TMT-1 medial fusion plate + 3.5-mm cortical compression screw + 4.0 transfixation screw, Medartis, Switzerland) + Akin osteotomy (2.8 screw, Medartis, Switzerland), and Weil osteotomy metatarsal II-III (2.0 screw, Medartis...

... Abstract A tarsometatarsal-1 joint (TMT1) fusion is commonly performed for hallux valgus correction, instability or degenerative changes of the joint. Several concepts for osteosynthesis of the joint have been described. Plantar plating has the potential advantage to screw osteosynthesis...

... Abstract Our preferred technique is ORIF with bridge plate fixation via the standard dorsal approach. Closed reduction and screw fixation may be attempted with a percutaneous reduction clamp if perfect closed reduction is achieved; otherwise, ORIF is the treatment of choice. Primary arthrodesis...

... Abstract Several surgical techniques have been introduced to treat metatarsal fracture and they vary depending on the site of the fracture and surgeon preference. Treatment options including: plate and screws with alternative surgical fixation such as Kirschner wires. Each one of these surgical...

.... Bridge-plating may provide a joint-preserving alternative to classic screw fixation. Primary arthrodesis has been advised for primary ligamentous injuries. Clinical outcomes are highly dependent on restoring normal anatomic alignment. Delays in treatment, open fractures, and purely ligamentous injuries...

... is supinated (external rotation) precisely correcting pronation and varus deviation. This is achieved given the oblique nature of the osteotomy (rotation through an oblique plane). The osteotomy is fixed with a medial locking plate and an interfragmentary screw at the osteotomy site. The expected outcome...
