Journal ArticleDOI
Osteosynthesis of distal radial fractures with a volar locking screw plate system
TL;DR: A locking screw plate system for the stabilisation of distal radial fractures, which can be inserted through a standard volar approach and in which the locking mechanism allows early post-operative mobilisation, is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volar Fixed-Angle Plating of Distal Radius Extension Fractures: Influence of Plate Position on Secondary Loss of Reduction—A Biomechanic Study in a Cadaveric Model
TL;DR: The subchondral plate-screw-bone constructs showed significantly greater rigidity, indicating higher resistance to postoperative loads and displacement forces, and radial shortening after cyclic loading correlated significantly with the distance the distal screws were placed from the sub chondral zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does single application of topical chloramphenicol to high risk sutured wounds reduce incidence of wound infection after minor surgery? Prospective randomised placebo controlled double blind trial

TL;DR: Application of a single dose of topical chloramphenicol to high risk sutured wounds after minor surgery produces a moderate absolute reduction in infection rate that is statistically but not clinically significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for surgical site infection after dermatological surgery.
TL;DR: Surgical site infection following minor surgery contributes to patient morbidity and compromises cosmetic outcomes and risk factors for SSI after dermatological surgery in general practice are determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a randomized clinical trial and a parallel observational study were conducted to assess whether current surgical treatment for displaced distal radius fractures provided better patient-reported wrist pain and function than nonsurgical treatment in patients 60 years and older.
