Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Epiphyses
The head of a long bone that is separated from the shaft by the epiphyseal plate until bone growth stops. At that time, the plate disappears and the head and shaft are united.
Hip Fractures
Fractures of the FEMUR HEAD; the FEMUR NECK; (FEMORAL NECK FRACTURES); the trochanters; or the inter- or subtrochanteric region. Excludes fractures of the acetabulum and fractures of the femoral shaft below the subtrochanteric region (FEMORAL FRACTURES).
Jaw Fixation Techniques
The stable placement of surgically induced fractures of the mandible or maxilla through the use of elastics, wire ligatures, arch bars, or other splints. It is used often in the cosmetic surgery of retrognathism and prognathism. (From Dorland, 28th ed, p636)
Titanium
A dark-gray, metallic element of widespread distribution but occurring in small amounts; atomic number, 22; atomic weight, 47.90; symbol, Ti; specific gravity, 4.5; used for fixation of fractures. (Dorland, 28th ed)

PURPOSE: The optimal surgical approach for displaced midshaft clavicle fracture remains controversial. The objective of this systematic review is to compare functional outcome an...
Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis for metastatic pathologic humeral fractures.
Because patients with metastatic bone disease may survive only 3 to 12 months, the goal of surgery for pathologic fractures is to attain rigid and durable internal fixation and immediate postoperative...
A meta-analysis of plate fixation versus intramedullary nailing for humeral shaft fractures.
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of consensus on whether intramedullary nailing (IMN) or plating is superior for humeral shaft fractures. METHODS: In this meta-analysis, we combined data from PubMed, the E...
Intramedullary Fixation of Forearm Fractures.
Plate fixation remains the primary surgical treatment option for most adult forearm fractures. However, intramedullary nailing can be successful and might be preferable in cases of massive soft-tissue...
Healing process after rigid plate fixation of humeral shaft fractures revisited.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the radiological healing process after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of humeral shaft fractures with plate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We...
Clinical Trials
NovaLign Intramedullary Fixation System (IFS) for the Treatment of Humeral Fractures
This post-market clinical study is being done to evaluate the use of the NovaLign™ Intramedullary Fixation System in the treatment of humeral fractures.
Intramedullary Fixation of Humerus Fractures Without Intramedullary Reaming
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the composite Nail - the Quantum interlocking intramedullary nailing system in the reduction of humeral fractures.
Extraarticular Distal Radius Fractures, X-fix or Volar Fixation
Distal radius fractures are treated surgically if severely displaced. This study aims to investigate the outcome after surgery. The investigators will randomize patients to either external...
Intraarticular Distal Radius Fractures, X-fix or Volar Fixation
Distal radius fractures are treated surgically if severely displaced. This study aims to investigate the outcome after surgery. The investigators will randomize patients to either external...
Volar Plating or External Fixation of Dorsally Displaced Fractures of the Distal Radius?
Promising results have been reported after volar locked plating of unstable dorsally displaced fractures of the distal radius. It offers stable fixation and early mobilization. The investi...
