  2. Internal fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_fixation

    Implant that has been used for fixation of a broken wrist. Closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) is reduction without any open surgery, followed by internal fixation. It appears to be an acceptable alternative in unstable distressed lateral condylar fractures of the humerus in children, but if fracture displacement after closed reduction exceeds 2 mm, open reduction and internal fixation ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopedic_plate

    Orthopedic plates are designed based on the bone fracture. While the general design is similar, each plate must be manufactured to not only to reduce the fracture but also fit the contour of the patient's bone. [5] Protection Locking plates can be used either to support a locking head screw, or to force bone together at the fracture.

    In the longer term, the knee may not regain full movement, pain may persist and there is an increased likelihood of osteoarthritis of the knee. [7] If there is an associated open wound as in an open fracture, complications also include risk of infection, inability of the broken bones to reunite and osteonecrosis. [7]

  6. Tibial plateau fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibial_plateau_fracture

    The knee anatomy provides insight into predicting why certain fracture patterns occur more often than others. The medial plateau is larger and significantly stronger than the lateral plateau. Also, there is a natural valgus or outward angulation alignment to the limb which coupled with the often valgus or outwardly angulating force on impact ...

  7. Reduction (orthopedic surgery) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_(orthopedic_surgery)

    When a bone fractures, the fragments lose their alignment in the form of displacement or angulation. For the fractured bone to heal without any deformity the bony fragments must be re-aligned to their normal anatomical position. Orthopedic surgery attempts to recreate the normal anatomy of the fractured bone by reduction of the displacement.
