Disease relevance of Fractures, Comminuted

• Less favourable results were seen in type 5 triradiate cartilage fractures and in comminuted fractures, but operation was no better [1].

High impact information on Fractures, Comminuted

• The results suggest that total elbow arthroplasty can be an alternative form of treatment of a severely comminuted fracture of the distal aspect of the humerus in older patients even in the presence of rheumatoid arthritis [2].
• Advancements in the development of biomaterials have now made titanium mesh a new option for the repair of severely comminuted fractures [3].
• Open reduction and palmar plate-osteosynthesis in combination with a nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite spacer in the treatment of comminuted fractures of the distal radius [4].
• CONCLUSIONS: The authors conclude that the Pi Plate is a very good surgical option, especially in complicated, comminuted fractures classified as C3 [5].
• The Naval Medical Center San Diego, San Diego, Calif, has treated 5 patients with penetrating injuries to the orbit with associated comminuted fractures [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Fractures, Comminuted

• An unusual type of traumatic comminuted fracture/dislocation of C1 and C2 is presented [7].
• Just below the anterior C1 fracture was an incomplete, comminuted fracture of the C2 superior facet [8].
• Conservative (nonsurgical treatment methods) and classic open reductions produce aesthetic and functional results that lead to posterior and oblique positioning of the maxillary occlusal segment in comminuted fractures [9].

Gene context of Fractures, Comminuted

• CONCLUSIONS: We recommend the use of anterior midline approach and condylar buttress plate for very comminuted fractures [10].
