Severely comminuted distal femur fractures require anatomic internal fixation for best results, but obtaining rigid fixation of the multiple fragments may be challenging or impossible using ...

[1] Which fixation produces the best outcome for distal femoral fractures? Meta-analysis and systematic review of retrograde nailing versus distal femoral plating in 2432 … ...

A fracture of the distal radius is one of the most common types of injuries to the skeletal system. It is treated using a variety of different techniques, from casting to pinning to open surgery with ...

A buckle fracture is an incomplete fracture where one side of the bone "buckles" or bends on itself; it does not affect the other side of the bone. This type of fracture can occur throughout childhood ...

Researchers estimated each 3D-printed femur cost $7 to make. Li said 3D-printed bones have a range of potential applications. The polymer, for example, might replace other materials used in bone ...

This study aimed to investigate the nature of life impacts following ankle fractures with the intention of describing a thematic conceptual framework based on these lived experiences of people who ...

University of Texas at Dallas mechanical engineers have designed a 3D-printed femur that could help doctors prepare for surgeries to repair bones and develop treatments for bone tumors. The engineers, ...

Results Overall, DM was associated with an increased risk of total (RR: 1.32; 95% CI 1.17 to 1.48; p<0.001), hip (RR: 1.77; 95% CI 1.56 to 2.02; p<0.001), upper arm (RR: 1.47; 95% CI 1.02 to 2.10; p=0 ...

FRAX is a tool developed by the World Health Organization in 2008 to assess fracture risk. FRAX integrates clinical risk factors and bone mineral density (BMD) at the femoral neck to calculate a ...
