Is tibial expert nailing biomechanically more stable compared to intramedullary nailing for tibial fractures?
Abstract: Background: Fractures of the tibia and fibula are relatively common and have been recognized as serious and debilitating injuries, because its surface is subcutaneous throughout most of its length, open fractures are more common in the tibia than in any other major long bones. To avoid complications of operative treatment in association with these characteristics of the tibia, intramedullary nailing has been widely introduced for the tibial diaphyseal fractures, and …

Is low-intensity pulsed ultrasound effective in treatment of tibial nonunion?
Abstract: Background: Nonunions have been mainly treated with invasive methods by adequate mechanical stability and provision of biological environment leading to bone healing rate of 68%-96%, however, with inherent risks and complications. As an alternative to surgical interventions, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), a biophysical method has been emerged. We aimed to prospectively compare the clinical and functional outcomes between two groups treated with LIPUS and capacitively coupled electric fields (CCEFs) for …

Safe zones for external fixation in the tibia: A cadaveric study
Abstract: AbstractPurpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the neurovascular structures and the tibia, by measuring the distances from the tibia to the surrounding neurovascular structures and angles at which the neurovascular structures course around the tibia. Materials and Methods: Ten fresh adult cadavers(5 men, 5 women), which had been donated to the Human anatomy department, were obtained within 72h of death, providing 20 lower extremity …

TPLO-M: A Dual-Purpose Solution for CCL and MPL in Dogs
Abstract: Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) rupture and Medial Patellar Luxation (MPL) are common orthopedic conditions affecting the canine stifle joint, particularly in small and toy breeds and larger athletic dogs. When these conditions occur together, they pose a significant surgical challenge due to the combined biomechanical abnormalities. Traditional surgical approaches, such as Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) for CCL insufficiency and corrective procedures for MPL, do not adequately address both conditions …

A Short-term Evaluation of Limb Reconstruction System as a Primary and Definitive Mode of Management in Fresh Open Fracture in Both Bones of Leg
Abstract: Open fractures require immediate surgical intervention, emphasizing prompt intravenous antibiotic therapy, irrigation, and debridement to minimize infection risks. The Limb Reconstruction System (LRS), which includes Shanz pins, rail rods, and sliding clamps, operates as a single-plane, one-sided rail system. This system provides strong fracture fixation, allows for early weight-bearing, and helps minimize costs. Challenges arise in tibial open fractures due to substantial soft tissue damage and bone loss, often resulting …

Wave plate; what is the angle of its central curved segment which provides biomechanically optimal stability for femoral shaft fracture?:A 3-D Finite Analysis
Abstract: Even though intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fracture is the standard surgical treatment as it is in tibial fracture, plate fixation might be a choice when the fracture involves open growth plate, patients are of shorter stature or have narrow canals. In these cases, fixation techniques with plate and screws, for example, percutaneous procedures involving wave plate, are useful thanks to minimal invasion and preservation of biological environment surrounding the …

Adipofascial Flap Cover For Medial Maleolus Defect
Abstract: Soft tissue defects in the lower third of the leg, particularly over the medial malleolus, pose significant challenges due to poor vascularization and the limited availability of reliable local flaps. Over the past two decades, free tissue transfer has emerged as the preferred option for covering such defects. However, in certain cases, free flap transfer is not feasible due to patient-specific factors, cost constraints, or donor site morbidity. Traditional pedicled …

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with a Synthetic Material Graft: Surgical Techniques and Effectiveness
Abstract: The aim of our study is to analyses the clinical results of reconstruction using the synthetic material in patients who had presented with a symptomatic torn anterior cruciate ligament. Method: Between January 2014 and January 2018, we have researched 42 patients with isolated, symptomatic anterior cruciate ligament injury. Before the operation, all the patients should be taken physical examination and analysed; physical findings and functional scores were recorded and knee …
