Dynamic condylar screw in subtrochanteric fracture with osteopetrosis: A case report
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Osteopetrosis is a rare hereditary disease which is characterized by increased bone density and it usually presents with increased bone mass and generalized osteosclerosis. We report the case of an adult patient with marble stone- osteopetrotic subtrochanteric fracture, which was successfully treated with Dynamic cortical screw in the light of a comprehensive literature review.

Comparison of accuracy of conventional and navigation pedicle screws in spine surgery
Introduction: Use of pedicle screw (PS) systems for spinal stabilization has become increasingly common in spine surgery. The technique and principle for pedicle screw instrumentation as well as anatomical landmarks of s...
A novel technique of plate positioning for fixation of posterior column acetabular fractures by modified Kocher-Langenbeck technique: A case series
Introduction: Modified kocher-langenbeck technique aims at achieving osteosynthesis by creating two windows: between the gluteus medius and piriformis superiorly and between external rotators and ischial tuberosity infer...
Comparative study between proximal femoral nail and dynamic hip screw with trochanteric stabilizing Plate (TSP) in unstable intertrochantric femur fractures
Background: Unstable fractures accounts for approximately 50 to 60% of all intertrochanteric fractures. Failure rates of (DHS) dynamic hip screw for unstable fracture patterns are as high as 50%. Proximal femoral nail is...
