1. Distal radius: anatomical definition and structural overview The distal radius forms the major articular surface of the wrist and contributes to both the radiocarpal joint and the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ). The articular surface of the distal radius can be divided into two primary fossae: Scaphoid fossa:elliptical in shape and articulates with the […]

1. Introduction Distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) is an essential surgical procedure for correcting angular deformities of the distal femur, commonly due to malunion, adolescent Blount disease, metabolic conditions, osteoarthritis, or idiopathic origins. These deformities significantly disrupt mechanical axis alignment, placing abnormal stress on knee cartilage and potentially accelerating the progression of osteoarthritis. Over the past […]

AO Type C3 Distal Radius Fractures Distal radius fractures are among the most common orthopedic injuries worldwide, especially in older adults following low-energy trauma or in younger individuals due to high-impact injuries. According to the AOclassification, distal radius fractures are divided into types A (extra-articular), B (partial articular), and C (complete articular). AO type C3 is […]
Read moreMidshaft Clavicular Fracture Clavicle fractures are common fractures, which comprise 3% to 5% of all fractures, and 44% of fractures in the shoulder region in adults. In total, 65% to 80% of these fractures are located in the middle third, and 94% are caused by a direct blow to the shoulder. Why Choose MIPO technology The […]
Read moreDepressed tibial plateau fractures Depressed tibial plateau fractures can be difficult to treat and current reduction techniques often lead to poor results. The commonly encountered fracture patterns are split with depression and pure lateral depression fractures (Schatzker type II and III), the later seen predominantly in older patient with osteoporotic bone. The treatment of choice […]
Read moreIn 1900s the new corrosion–resistant material for implants was introduced in surgery – stainless steel (SS). In the beginning, SS 18–8 alloy was unsuccessfully prone to corrosion. Finally, SS 316 alloy managed to decrease the corrosion rate due to reduced carbon content. Th e development of technologies and engineering was continued. New metal – titanium […]
