Distal Radius to Phalangeal Fractures: Versatility of Locking Plates in Hand Trauma

Image
  Hand injuries, especially fractures, are not only common but also often life-altering. Whether it’s a sports-related fall, industrial accident, or a simple household mishap, the consequences can severely impact daily life and occupational function. Among these, fractures ranging from the distal radius down to the phalanges are some of the most frequent, and managing them requires precision, stability, and early mobilization. In recent years,  locking plates , especially those designed as hand plates and radius plate systems, have revolutionized the management of hand trauma, offering a reliable, versatile solution for fracture fixation.

When Surgery Is Necessary in Pelvic Fractures: Indications and Options

Image
Pelvic fractures are serious injuries that can affect a person's mobility, comfort, and even survival, depending on the severity. These injuries often result from high-energy trauma such as car accidents, falls from significant heights, or crush injuries. In some cases, pelvic fractures may be stable and managed with rest and physical therapy. However, when the damage is more complex or life-threatening, surgical intervention involving the pelvic system becomes necessary. Understanding when surgery is required and what options are available helps patients and caregivers make informed decisions during a difficult time. Understanding Pelvic Fractures The pelvis is a ring-like structure made up of several bones, including the ilium, ischium, pubis, sacrum, and coccyx. Because of its shape, if one part of the ring is broken, another area is often affected too. Pelvic fractures range from minor cracks that may heal with conservative care to severe disruptions that involve multiple frac...

Locking Compression Plate Uses — Guidelines for Better Results

Image
  Orthopedic trauma care has made remarkable progress over the past few decades, especially in the realm of internal fixation devices. Among these innovations, the  Locking Compression Plate  (LCP) has emerged as a game-changer. Designed to provide stable fixation while minimizing soft tissue damage, LCPs are increasingly used in both complex fractures and routine orthopedic procedures.
