Machine learning models for predicting tibial intramedullary nail length.

BMC musculoskeletal disorders
BACKGROUND: Tibial intramedullary nailing (IMN) represents a standard treatment for fractures of the tibial shaft. Nevertheless, accurately predicting the appropriate nail length prior to surgery remains a challenging endeavour. Conventional techniqu...

Comparison of Bone-setting Robots and Conventional Reduction in the Treatment of Intertrochanteric Fracture: A Retrospective Study.

Orthopaedic surgery
OBJECTIVE: Intertrochanteric fracture of the femur is a common fracture in older people. Due to the poor systemic condition and prognosis of elderly patients, it is prone to more complications. We introduce the bone-setting concept in the design of t...

A novel technology integrating robotics and 3D printing for closed reduction of tibia shaft fracture with MIPPO:A proof-of-concept study.

Medical engineering & physics
Less invasive fixation techniques, such as intramedullary nailing (IMN) and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO), are now the preferred choices for treating tibia shaft fractures (TSFs). However, malreduction and radiation exp...

Robotic distal locking of intramedullary nailing: Technical description and cadaveric testing.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
Interlocked intramedullary nailing is the treatment of choice for femoral shaft fractures. However, distal locking is a technically challenging part of the procedure that can result in distal femoral malrotation and high radiation exposure. We have t...

[An experimental study on distal locking of femoral intramedullary nail assisted by an intelligent orthopedic robot].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To explore the advantages and effectiveness of the independently developed intelligent orthopedic robot-assisted distal locking of femoral intramedullary nails.

Evaluation of impact of epidural volume extension on the quality of spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing proximal femoral nailing surgeries - randomized controlled study.

Anaesthesiology intensive therapy
INTRODUCTION: Epidural volume extension is technique aiming to mitigate spinal anaesthesia induced hypotension, by reducing the dose of local anaesthetics. The present study was executed to determine the effect of epidural volume extension subarachno...

[Intramedullary nail combined with auxiliary plate and bone cement in treatment of pathologic fracture of extremities caused by metastatic tumors].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To explore the application of intramedullary nail fixation combined with auxiliary plate and bone cement in the palliative treatment of pathologic fracture of extremities caused by metastatic tumors.

[Effectiveness analysis of surgical treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck fracture and subtrochanteric fracture].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the effectiveness of intramedullary nail fixation with selective cable wiring in the treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck fracture and subtrochanteric fracture.

The Evolution of Remote-Controlled Intramedullary Lengthening and Compression Nails.

Journal of orthopaedic trauma
The operative elongation of limbs has long been a goal of orthopaedic surgeons. Indeed, the very first external skeletal fixators, although designed for stabilization of displaced fractures, were also used to overcome the posttrauma shortening that s...
