2. Patella fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patella_fracture

   Even some displaced fractures can be treated with casting as long as the person can straighten their leg without help, thus confirming that the quadriceps mechanism of the leg is intact. [ 2 ] [ 8 ] In this case the leg is immobilized in a straight position for the first three weeks and then increasing degrees of bending are allowed as healing ...

3. Bucket handle tear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_handle_tear

   The knee joint contains two crescent-shaped fibrocartilaginous structures, the menisci (medial and lateral), which serve as shock absorbers and stabilize the joint during movement. Each meniscus has an outer vascular zone (red-red zone), which has a good blood supply and healing potential as well as a central avascular zone (white-white zone ...

4. Bone healing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

   Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...

5. 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 ...

6. Ilizarov apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilizarov_apparatus

   In medicine, the Ilizarov apparatus is a type of external fixation apparatus used in orthopedic surgery to lengthen or to reshape the damaged bones of an arm or a leg; used as a limb-sparing technique for treating complex fractures and open bone fractures; and used to treat an infected non-union of bones, which cannot be surgically resolved.

   X-ray showing the proximal portion of a fractured tibia with an intramedullary nail The surgical treatment of mandibular angle fracture; fixation of the bone fragments by the plates, the principles of osteosynthesis are stability (immobility of the fragments that creates the conditions for bones coalescence) and functionality Proximal femur ...

   X-ray showing the proximal portion of a fractured tibia with an intramedullary nail Proximal femur nail with locking and stabilisation screws for treatment of femur fractures of left thigh An intramedullary rod , also known as an intramedullary nail (IM nail) or inter-locking nail or Küntscher nail (without proximal or distal fixation), is a ...

9. Orthopedic cast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopedic_cast

   It is typically used for injuries requiring stabilization across multiple joints, such as tibial or fibular fractures, severe knee injuries, or post-surgical recovery. It is ensured that the knee remains immobilized in a slightly flexed position, typically around 20-35 degrees, [2] to promote healing while maintaining comfort. Patients with ...
