A humerus fracture is a break of the humerus bone within the top arm. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and bruising. Types for Humerus Fracture Shaft – The plating technique is used when indicated for the  treatment of a fracture of the shaft of the humerus . Depending upon bone anatomy, a broad heavy-duty plate or a narrow plate is used if the humerus is very thin. The plate may be placed on the dorsal surface of the humerus or the volar side. Screws should engage a minimum of six cortices per the main fragment. When LIFP is used, a narrow, longer plate is preferred. The Distal Humerus – For the fixation of intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus, a  3.5/4.0mm distal humerus extra articular plate  or a malleable reconstruction plate is useful. A reconstruction plate is placed posteriorly on the lateral column and medially on the medial column for maximum support. In the case of bone loss two plates, one medial and one on the lateral side, are applied. https:/...

The field of orthopedics is ever-growing and if we talk about orthopedic implants, then they are much improved now that those decades ago. Orthopedic plates are among the oldest implants. The first successful plate was made in 1886 using nickel sheets. Since then, the trauma plates have seen a massive change. However, orthopedic plates that surgeons use now are way better and have good success rates. Nowadays, different types of plates are available that surgeons use for specific purposes. This article will focus on discussing some details about orthopedic plates along with their types and uses. Let us start with a brief introduction to  trauma plates . https://www.siiora.com/blogs/orthopedic-plates/

In adults, pain, the resumption of strenuous activities or contact sports after fracture healing, soft tissue irritation, as well as the demand of patient are typical indications for removal of the implant in clinical practice. Numerous surgeons will remember patients whose intractable, barely explainable local symptoms and complaints resolved rapidly after the procedure. Though,  ortho implant  removal needs a second surgical procedure in scarred tissue and poses a risk for re-fractures and nerve damage. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/surgeons-belief-about-removal-of-orthopedic-implants/

In low demand patients and financially sound Individuals, arthroplasty finds favor as the cost of the surgery is above 8000 US$. On all the above counts’ Fusion/ Arthrodesis scores over Arthroplasty. It has been proven beyond doubt that ankle fusion does not produce a bad walking pattern, while it takes away the pain from an individual whose life is already severely compromised due to painful arthritis of the ankle. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/ankle-arthrodesis/

In other cases, such fractures can occur due to an indirect injury which usually happens before the epiphyseal union. Sudden contraction of the supraspinatus muscle (supraspinatus is a relatively small muscle of the upper back) can produce separation of the greater tuberosity. In the adult age group, the same contracting force the supraspinatus muscle can lead to tearing of the supraspinatus tendon.

In layman’s terms, a bone fracture is a break in the bone. “Fracture” is a medical term for a broken bone. So, we must say that a bone fracture and a broken bone are the same terms that people use interchangeably. Any bone in our body can break and there are multiple causes for the same. A fracture can occur because of traumatic and non-traumatic events. The exact cause of the fracture defines its severity, and this will decide the type of treatment required and how much time will it take for the fracture to heal. There are different  types of bone fractures  and they are classified based on the pattern of the break, location, and severity. Broadly, fractures can be classified as displaced, non-displaced, closed, and open. Let us see it in detail. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/bone-fractures/

Fibula fractures   typically occur as part of an ankle injury. Whenever a fibula fracture is found, the ankle joint should be examined for an injury that can be possible. The most common kind of fracture to occur to the fibula bone is an isolated injury to the end of the fibula bone at the level of the ankle joint. These injuries occur in a similar manner to a badly sprained ankle, and mostly the injury can be treated similarly to a badly sprained ankle. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/types-symptoms-of-fibula-fractures/

Cervical or  spine implants  are orthopedic devices orthopedic surgeons use to decompress and stabilize the spine. These devices are implanted either from the front (anterior) of the spine or from the back (posterior).
