Distal Femur is the part of thighbone above Knee joint, which pans out like an inverted funnel.  A fracture in this bone is termed a  Distal Femur Fracture . Such fractures commonly occur in people whose bones are weak due to old age, or in younger people who have suffered high energy injuries like a car crash. In both, the elderly and the young, the injury may extend into the knee joint and may shatter the bone into many pieces. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/distal-femur-fractures-of-the-knee/

Preoperative planning has always been a significant component of the complete strategy of fracture care by surgical intervention. Preoperative planning enables the surgeon to perform the operation in his mind prior to the actual surgical procedure. It gives him an opportunity to prepare the equipment that might be needed and allows him to plan the steps of the operation, including the location of the incisions, choice of  trauma   implants , reduction technique and techniques of application. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/decision-making-and-preoperative-planning/

Joint reconstruction is the process of repairing muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. This surgery is suitable for shoulder, knee, ankle, wrist, elbow, and hip joints. It is not a major surgery and is recommended when the cause of joint pain is not severe. Joint reconstruction can help combat chronic joint pain while providing long-term relief. Joint reconstruction surgery is always a better option for chronic joint pain as it offers chances for the patient to regain strength and flexibility. In reconstruction surgery, the orthopedic surgeon repairs torn/damaged muscles or soft tissues using special  orthopedic implants  and instruments. One good thing about reconstruction surgery is that recovery is fast and hence, the patient comes to a better routine life sooner. However, the relief after joint reconstruction is temporary. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/joint-replacement/

Joint pain is a common issue and people of all age groups are prone to this. However, joints in the lower extremity are more at risk of developing pain where the knee joint gets affected the most. Multiple causes of knee pain could be there and that also depends on the age of the patient. When it comes to mild knee pain, it improves with pain medications, rest, and mild exercises. While on the other hand, if the pain is severe, other treatments may be required. Sometimes, knee replacement surgery is required. In this post, we will have a look at some of the common reasons behind knee pain.

Recovery after surgery is not an easy ask as, during that phase, a person goes through a lot. This includes both physical and emotional factors. Relying on someone for doing simple routine tasks is debilitating and no one wants to do that, but this becomes necessary. This is what the concept of post-operative care is. Post-operative care means looking after the operated site to ensure quicker and better recovery. This involves avoiding stress on the injured limb/area, resting, and exercising as suggested. Post-operative care starts right after the patient comes out of the operation theatre. The goal of post-operative care is to keep monitoring the surgical wound until it heals. If we talk about orthopedic surgery, then it involves the use of trauma implants. Hence, special care is required in such cases as even slight negligence can cause severe complications. Recovery after surgery  can be slow and stressful, hence, patience is needed. Proper post-operative care will ensure improv...

The most common surgical treatment of a humerus fracture is to place a large metal  locking plate  along the humerus and secure it with screws. In comparison to non-surgical treatments, surgical treatments have higher associated risks of nerve injury and nonunion. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/mid-shaft-humerus-fracture-treatment/

Another option for lumbar spine surgery is lumbar fusion. This surgery involves fusing the problematic segment of the vertebrae to improve painful motion in the lower back. Two of the common spinal conditions for which the orthopedic surgeon may recommend lumbar fusion surgery are   degenerative disc disease   and spondylolisthesis. The surgeon uses a bone graft for fusing vertebrae. This surgery stops any movement of the fused spinal segment but provides relief from pain and disability caused by the spinal condition. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/lumbar-spine-surgery/

Surgeries are not easy, neither for the patient nor the surgeon. When it comes to orthopedic surgery, knowing how to prepare for orthopedic surgery is important. This is because you should know the dos and don’ts of the surgery. We’re here to discuss the same and help you prepare for a successful   orthopedic surgery . https://www.siiora.com/blogs/prepare-for-orthopedic-surgery/

Orthopedic bone screws are medical devices that orthopedic surgeons use to fix a fracture. They are either used alone for bone-to-bone/bone-to-tissue fixation or with other trauma implants like orthopedic plates. Bone screws are cylindrical devices with threads throughout their shaft. These threads convert torsional force into compression. If we compare them with conventional screws, then they follow the same mechanical principle. Besides this,  orthopedic screws   play an important role in keeping fractured bone fragments in their correct anatomy. Hence, this helps with the proper healing of the fracture. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/orthopedic-bone-screws/

Arthroscopy is an invasive procedure that orthopedic specialists use to diagnose and treat joint ailments. This diagnostic technique is used when other procedures like X-rays fail to detect the cause of joint pain and other symptoms. Special tools and instruments are used during arthroscopy. In this article, we will see the topic in detail while exploring its technique, use, and risks.

Internal Fixator Plates have been used from very early times to fix the bones internally. The  locking plates  serve to maintain length, rotation, and angulation at the fracture. Initially, there were Sherman plates, which used self-tapping screws. Then came the Broad, Narrow, and Small plates of AO type. They were used with compression devices to give a rigid internal fixation. There used to be cortex to cortex union with no visible callus formation. To achieve an anatomical reduction extensive dissection was done. The periosteum was stripped mercilessly. At that time the biological treatment concept was not there. The heavy plates were tightened to fix on the bone. The area under the plate lost its periosteal blood supply and became avascular. The stability was produced by the friction between the undersurface of the plate and bone. The avascular bone corroded and the holes in bones for screws got osteonecrosis and loose hence they failed to hold till union quite often. Ther...

Injuries to children leading to fracture of femoral bone are quite common. Non-surgical treatment option has been effective for common Femur Fractures. Selecting treatment methods for femur fractures is dependent on the age of the child since the displacement (separation of the bone ends) that can be accepted depends on the child’s age and even widely displaced fractures have healed in young children. Infants Usually, cast treatment is adopted for treating Femur fractures in infants and toddlers. A Pavlik harness may be preferred instead of a Spica cast in early infancy. The rapid growth of bone in young children does not require the bone ends to be perfectly aligned. Over time, the bone remodels to a shape, where it may not be evident that the bone had been injured. Spica casting for about 4 to 6 weeks will be adequate for bone healing in the case of most infants and toddlers. Early Childhood Spica casting is usually adequate for younger children (Up to the age of 6) to treat...

Without suitable care and medical intervention, an ankle fracture can lead to arthritis. You have an especially high risk of ultimately getting arthritis if, after the injury, your ankle appears misshapen. If the break is serious, you might see a bone poking out of your skin. If this is the case, you must take immediate medical care, as this kind of ankle fracture can lead to severe infection. Treatment for Ankle fracture will be decided by the Orthopedic Surgeon after proper examination of the injury using X-ray or CT scan or MRI. He may opt for Surgical Intervention and use of  trauma Implants  like Malleolar Screws, Wires, Plates and Screws if other options are not effective. Surgery is followed by planned Post-Operative Care including Physiotherapy so that the patient regains proper movement of the ankle. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/what-is-an-ankle-fracture/

Ulna and Radius are two main bones in the  forearm . Ulna runs along the outside of the wrist and Radius runs along the inside. A bony projection at the end of the ulna is called the ulnar styloid process. It fits into the cartilage of the wrist joint and plays an important role in the strength and flexibility of the wrist and forearm. A break of the bone in this area is called an ulnar styloid fracture. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/what-is-an-ulnar-styloid-fracture/

In the case of  tibial shaft fractures  associated with a displaced intra-articular fracture of the knee and the ankle, plating is the most commonly adopted technique. The tibial plateau fracture and the tibial pilon fracture require accurate open reduction and fixation. Buttress plating is almost always necessary to support epiphyseal-metaphyseal fragments. Plating with Indirect reduction techniques is used for such fractures. Narrow plates are used is employed to fix fractures of the tibial diaphysis. For the convenience of the operator, Plates are usually applied on the subcutaneous surface of the tibia. Plates may also be applied on the lateral surface. It is essential to engage six cortices on either side of the fracture. Eccentric insertion of a screw on each side of the fracture is recommended to compress a tibial diaphyseal fracture. If the plate is placed in a too anterior or too posterior position or there is comminution of either cortex, placement of a single screw ...
