Small fragment implants are orthopedic devices designed for the fixation of fractures in smaller bones, such as those in the clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis, distal tibia, and fibula. These implants are essential in treating osteotomies, nonunions, and small bone fractures, providing stability and facilitating proper bone healing. Types of Small Fragment Implants Small [...]
Introduction to Variable Angle Plates Variable angle plates are advanced orthopaedic implants designed for fracture fixation, particularly in complex bone fractures. They allow surgeons to choose a screw trajectory within a certain range, rather than being restricted to a fixed trajectory, which is crucial for anatomical fit, biomechanical stability, and individualized patient treatment. Design and [...]
A pediatric hip system refers to a specialized set of implants, instruments, and surgical techniques designed for the treatment of hip disorders in children and adolescents. These systems are used in orthopedic surgery to address developmental, congenital, traumatic, and neuromuscular conditions affecting the hip joint. Indications for Use Pediatric hip systems are utilized in various [...]
A cable plating system is an advanced orthopedic fixation technique that combines cables and plates to stabilize fractures, particularly in challenging cases such as periprosthetic fractures, comminuted fractures, and osteoporotic bone conditions. This system is particularly useful when traditional screw fixation alone may not be sufficient due to poor bone quality or complex fracture patterns. [...]
Spine implants are medical devices used to treat a variety of spinal conditions, including deformities, degenerative diseases, fractures, and trauma. They provide structural support, stability, and alignment to the spine, often aiding in the healing process or improving functionality and quality of life. Purpose of Spine Implants Stabilization: To stabilize the spine after injury, surgery, [...]
The Locking Medial Distal Tibia Plate is a specialized orthopedic implant used primarily in the surgical treatment of fractures of the distal (lower) third of the tibia. It belongs to a category of implants known as locking compression plates (LCPs) and is commonly used for internal fixation of complex fractures, especially those that are intra-articular, [...]
Orthopedic nails, wires, and pins are internal fixation devices used to stabilize and support fractured bones during the healing process. They are critical tools in modern orthopedic surgery, allowing for better alignment, stabilization, and earlier mobilization compared to traditional casting methods. Interlocking Nail Definition: An interlocking nail is a type of orthopaedic implant used for [...]
Interlocking nails and intramedullary (IM) nails are both used for the internal fixation of long bone fractures, but they have key differences in their design, function, and application. Let’s break them down in detail. Intramedullary (IM) Nail An intramedullary nail is a metal rod inserted into the medullary (central) canal of a long bone to [...]
Cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) screws and implants are specialized medical devices used in the surgical treatment of injuries, congenital defects, and reconstructive procedures of the skull, face, and jaw. These implants provide structural support, stabilization, and fixation for bones during healing. Applications CMF screws and implants are used in a variety of medical procedures, including: Trauma Surgery: [...]
Cannulated screws are a type of orthopedic implant designed with a hollow central core (cannulation) that allows them to be guided over a wire or pin during insertion. This design ensures precise placement and alignment, making them a valuable tool in fracture fixation and bone stabilization. Types of Cannulated screws Based on Thread Design Fully [...]
