How Internal Fixation Fails: A Hardcore Analysis Based on Biomechanics & Biology
“Fracture treatment is a race between the fatigue life of the implant and the speed of bone healing.” When you are staring at an X-ray of a broken plate or a stubborn non-union and blaming the patient’s “bad luck,” you have likely already lost the race. The brutal truth is rarely about luck. It is […]
Challenges, Biomechanical Considerations, and Treatment Choices in Fracture Fixation
Fracture fixation remains one of the most complex areas of orthopedic surgery, demanding precision, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of biomechanics and biology. This article explores the challenges, biological and biomechanical considerations, and optimal treatment strategies for managing fractures, drawing insights from ICUC App case studies and clinical scenarios. Challenges in Fracture Fixation Fracture […]
