What is Hip Dysplasia What Should You Know?

-

 


In the elderly, the hip joint is one of the most affected joints in the body. However, hip joint problems are also seen in young adults due to different causes. In the most severe cases, hip implants are required to be placed surgically to fix the condition.

Hip dysplasia is a medical term that defines a condition in which the hip socket (acetabulum) does not completely cover the ball portion (femoral head) of the joint. People suffering from this condition become highly prone to partial or complete dislocation.

Difference Between Cortical and Cancellous Screws – A Quick Guide

-
Image
Orthopedic screws play an important role in the open reduction and internal fixation of fractures. They are used for fixing   orthopedic plates   and fractured bone fragments to allow the fracture to heal. Different types of orthopedic screws are there including cancellous screws and cortical screws which are used depending on the type and location of the fracture. In this post, we will have a look at the difference between cortical and cancellous screws along with their structural anatomies and when they are used. Let us start with a brief introduction to cancellous screws. https://www.siiora.com/blogs/difference-between-cortical-and-cancellous-screws-a-quick-guide/

Optimizing Stability in Ankle Fractures: The Role of Low-Profile Fibula Plates

-

  You roll your ankle, hear a sickening pop, and the next thing you know, you're looking at an X-ray of a broken fibula. When the break is bad enough, surgery is the answer. The plan is to fix the bone with a distal fibula plate and screws, creating a stable environment for it to heal. And for fracture fixation, stability is king. But what if the stable fix itself causes a whole new problem? For years, patients traded a broken bone for a new kind of pain: constant irritation from bulky hardware. This is where the simple but brilliant innovation of the low-profile plate comes in, optimizing not just stability, but the entire recovery experience. The Old Problem: When the Cure Becomes an Annoyance To understand why low-profile plates are such a big deal, you have to appreciate the unique anatomy of the ankle. The skin on the outside of your ankle is incredibly thin. There’s not a lot of muscle or fat to act as padding. For years, the plates used to fix fibula fractures wer...

A Detailed Guide on Orthopedic Bone Screws – Uses and Types

-
Image
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/
