To examine the impact of sacroiliac screw position and length on the biomechanical properties of triangular osteosynthesis in treating unilateral vertical sacral fractures and provide a clinical reference.
The femoral neck system (FNS) is commonly used for internal fixation of femoral neck fractures and has shown promising results. However, we have observed cases of peri-implant subtrochanteric femur fractures a...
Aging is frequently associated with impairments of the musculoskeletal system and many elderly people experience joint discomfort or pain which might reduce their ability to move and consequently alter their q...
