Epiphysisitis and osteochondrosis: two common causes of bone pain in growing children
As a young orthopedic doctor, understanding the nuances of pediatric musculoskeletal disorders is crucial. This article introduces two common causes of pain in growing bones: apophysitis and osteochondrosis. While both conditions affect developing skeletal systems, they have distinct etiologies, presentations, and management approaches. Apophysitis: Traction-Induced Pain Apophysitis results from traction injury to the cartilage and […]
Causes and countermeasures of fracture nonunion: analysis from several papers
Causes and Treatment of Nonunion of Fractures Nonunion of fractures, also known as pseudoarthrosis, occurs when a fracture fails to heal without further intervention. This condition can persist regardless of how much time has passed since the initial injury. Understanding the causes of nonunion is critical for effective management and treatment. Causes of Nonunion of […]
Femoral Neck Dynamic Cross Nail System Product Introduction
IndicationsFemoral neck fracture (AO type 31-B)(Intertrochanteric fracture and subtrochanteric fracture are contraindicated) Product Advantage 1Excellent angular stabilityThe main screw and the anti-rotation screw maintain overall angular stability with the locking screw, which can effectively prevent varus collapse and femoral neck shortening, and can provide more adequate angular stability compared to ordinary hollow screw treatment. Product […]
Vascular injury in orthopedic surgery: a comprehensive review of risks and prevention strategies
Orthopedic surgery, though transformative for patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorders, carries an inherent risk of vascular injury. While relatively uncommon, these complications can have devastating consequences, including limb loss and even death. This article provides a detailed review of the types of orthopedic surgeries most susceptible to vascular injury, the mechanisms underlying these injuries, and […]

Analysis and selection of advantages and disadvantages of various treatment methods for multi-segmental tibial fractures
Segmental tibial fractures are complex injuries involving two or more distinct fracture lines and a free-floating middle fragment. This complexity demands a multidisciplinary approach and careful consideration of various factors when deciding on the optimal treatment. Here’s a breakdown of common treatment methods and their pros and cons: 1. Non-operative Treatment: 2. Surgical Treatment: a) […]
Be careful! There are these dangerous points in the internal fixation surgery of proximal humeral fracture
Proximal humeral fractures are very common in orthopedic clinical practice. This article will discuss several major pitfalls that need to be noted in open reduction and internal fixation and intramedullary nailing of proximal humeral fractures, aiming to provide guidance for young orthopedic surgeons to optimize surgical outcomes and reduce postoperative complications. Open reduction and internal […]
For intertrochanteric fractures, PFNA, InterTAN, or Gamma3, how to choose?
I’ll summarize the key points from these two articles on the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of the femur, focusing on the comparison between PFNA (Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation), InterTAN (IT), and Gamma3 nailing systems. 1. Background: o Intertrochanteric fractures are common hip fractures, especially in the elderly population. o They occur between the base of the femoral neck […]
What are the “gold standards” in the diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic diseases?
I’ll provide a detailed overview of gold-standard diagnostic and treatment methods in orthopedics, including additional context and emerging trends. Diagnostic Methods: X-rays (Radiographs): Treatment Methods: It’s crucial to note that while these represent current gold standards, the field of orthopedics is rapidly evolving. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence for diagnosis, 3D printing for custom implants, and advanced […]
