Corrective osteotomies around the knee joint using hexapods
We report on 25 knee joint corrections in 23 patients (12 women and 11 men) using hexapods (Taylor spatial frame) during the period 2016-2023. One patient had a femoral and a tibial fixator at the same time; another patient had a triple fixator at the tibia. The mean age was 32 (6-73) years. 15 left and 10 right corrections were performed. 19 fixators had been applied tibial, 5 fixators femoral, and 1 fixator cross-jointly (for contracture). The indications were 6 congenital complex deformities, 10 posttraumatic complex deformities, 3 pseudarthroses after correction osteotomies, 2 patients with osteomyelitis, 1 knee contra...

Surgical fixation of distal ulna neck and head fractures
Oper Orthop Traumatol. 2023 Nov 9. doi: 10.1007/s00064-023-00835-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVES: Distal ulna plate fixation for ulnar neck and head fractures (excluding ulnar styloid fractures) aims to anatomically reduce the distal ulna fracture (DUF) by open reduction and internal fixation, while obtaining a stable construct allowing functional rehabilitation without need for cast immobilization.INDICATIONS: Severe displacement, angulation or translation, as well as unstable or intra-articular fractures. Furthermore, multiple trauma or young patients in need of quick functional rehabilitation.CONTRAINDICATIO...

Implant-associated fracture of the tibial plateau in cementless medial unicondylar knee prosthesis : Locking plate osteosynthesis
Oper Orthop Traumatol. 2023 Oct 19. doi: 10.1007/s00064-023-00829-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTHE PROBLEM: Cementless medial unicondylar knee prostheses with mobile inlays have proved to be successful and are increasingly being used worldwide; however, there is a risk of fracture of the medial tibial plateau in the postoperative healing phase.THE SOLUTION: In most cases we observed split fractures starting from the keel of the implant. These can be treated with a small posteromedial locking plate, whereby the upper screws are inserted through the keel slot and then interlocked. This achieves an optimally strong bond b...
