The tibia is the large shin bone situated between the ankle and the knee. The fracture occurred in this bone is treated with the help of Trauma implants such as locking head screw, locking head cancellous screw, locking dorsal distal radius L-plate, lateral tibia locking plate, locking anterolateral distal tibia plate and so on. This […]
Intramedullary (IM) Nails are Orthopedic Implants used to align and stabilize fractures. Intramedullary rods are inserted into the bone marrow canal in the center of the long bones of the extremities. They may be used in the tibia (shin bone) and the femur (thigh bone), for example. They are also called intramedullary nails. These nails […]
Hip fractures are one of the most common kinds of broken bones, a broken hip is the most common reason why people require surgery for fracture above the age of 65. Unfortunately, this difficult problem usually affects the most vulnerable and frail patients. While some common orthopedic injuries occur in more vigorous, active persons, most […]
During sports activity, athletes often injure their wrist & hands because the hands often absorb impact. Such injuries may include the supporting tendons, ligaments, or bones. Skiers are vulnerable to an injury called skier’s thumb – a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in the thumb’s large joint. This is likely to happen when the […]
Clavicle fractures are very common and comprise 2.6% to 5% of all fractures in adults, with midshaft injuries accounting for almost 75% of all fracture types. Clavicle fractures typically occur when an axial load is applied to the bone, generally in the form of a sudden point load to the apex of the shoulder. When […]
It has now become easy to treat the serious bone problems with the beginning of technological developments and this became possible with modern orthopedic implants. Though some time back, diseases and bone fractures were not so common and were often seen in adults today the situation has changed. These issues are now troubling young players […]
A fibula fracture refers to a break in the fibula bone. A forceful impact, such as landing after a high jump or any impact to the outer part of the leg, can cause a fracture. Even spraining or rolling an ankle puts stress on the fibula bone, which can lead to a fracture. Types of […]
The human skeleton made of 206 individual bones that perform various important functions, protection, movement, including support, storage of minerals, and formation of blood cells. To ensure that the skeleton retains its ability to perform these functions, and to reduce disfigurement and pain, bones that become fractured should be repaired promptly and properly. Typically, a […]
Screw and plates fixation of fractures has undergone continual design modifications and improvements during recent years. Friedrich Pauwels for the first time defined and applied the tension band principle in nonunions and the fixation of fractures. This principle of engineering applies to the conversion of tensile forces to compression forces on the convex side of […]
The helical thread screw is an important invention in Mechanical Engineering which converts angular motion to linear motion to transmit power or to develop large forces. Screws are complex tools with a four-part construction: head, thread, shaft, and tip. The head works as an attachment for the screw driver, which may be hexagonal, slotted, cruciate […]
