In conclusion, internal fixation was better than external fixation regarding grip strength at 1 year, but at the 5-year follow-up both groups had approached normal values.
In conclusion, plate fixation is a good option for treating closed multiple metacarpal fractures, providing rigid fixation for early mobilization and good functional outcome.
There were no type I endoleaks Conclusion: Transvisceral fixation of the uncovered proximal aortic stent occurs frequently during deployment of devices designed for transrenal fixation and is associated with no early morbidity.
In conclusion, re-fixation of a Chevron osteotomy of the olecranon with a large cancellous screw with a high-strength suture tension band provides adequate stability to result in anatomical consolidation of the osteotomy when early post-operative mobilisation is allowed.
In conclusion, intramedullary nail fixation for correction of post-traumatic deformity of the distal radius is a less invasive technique which can provide satisfactory reduction and stable fixation.
In conclusion, isolated plate fixation of the clavicular fracture in 'floating shoulder' injuries results in high rates of both clavicular and scapular fracture healing with good to excellent outcomes.
Conclusion With uncemented fixation of knee implants, no benefit of once-weekly treatment with alendronate, starting postoperatively, could be seen during a 2-year follow-up period.
In conclusion, rigid intramedullary nail fixation of femoral fractures in adolescents is a useful procedure with good clinical results.
The simulation predicts that the ε3 and ε2 alleles are driven towards fixation, a conclusion supported by the Fullerton et al [59] observations for the mutation at site 3937, characterising the ε3 allele.
In conclusion, the indications for fixation of flail chest injuries remain controversial primarily on account of a lack of adequate studies comparing operative and nonoperative treatment.
