Conclusions The angle-stable locking system (ASLS) with the biodegradable sleeve provides significantly higher long-term stability. Especially the differences determined under torsional loading in ...

The treatment of fractures of the distal tibia can be problematic due to the insubstantial soft-tissue covering this part of the anatomy. This study investigates a novel strategy for minimally ...

DUBLIN — Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis may be an effective treatment for distal tibial fractures, according a presenter here. “We feel we have a safe and effective technique in the ...

Li Y, Liu L, Tang X, Pei F, Wang G, Fang Y, Zhang H, Crook N (2012) Comparison of low, multidirectional locked nailing and plating in the treatment of distal tibial metaphyseal fractures.

Sean T. Campbell, MD, and colleagues determined plate-bone distance in 53 patients who underwent TKA. Researchers digitally templated four standard-length, precontoured distal femur locking plates ...

All implant materials (nails, screws and sleeves) were supplied by the manufacturer Synthes (Solothurn, Switzerland). There was no additional influence on any part of the study by Synthes.
