The controlled dynamization of fractures can promote natural fracture healing by callus
formation, while overly rigid fixation can suppress healing. The advent of locked plating …

Although 2021 will be remembered by most as the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic,
it also marked what would have been the 100th birthday of Professor GA Ilizarov. The limb …

Orthopaedic surgeons routinely assess the biomechanical environment of a fracture to
create a fixation construct that provides the appropriate amount of stability in efforts to …

Distraction osteogenesis describes the process of growing new bone (“regenerate”) to
correct limb length discrepancies or limb deformities. Whether pure lengthening or a …

Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is widely utilized for treating limb length discrepancy,
nonunion, bone deformities and defects. This study sought to develop a 4D time‐lapse …

Materials and Methods: After a magnetically driven internal lengthening nail was inserted, a
2 cm lengthening of the goat tibia was performed. The regenerate bone formation was …

Tibial plafond fractures (TPF) represent 3% to 10% of tibia fractures and 1% of lower
extremity fractures. 1, 2 TPF are typically a result of high-energy trauma and are associated …
