Evaluation of intermittent pneumatic compression devices.

abstract：:Isolated fractures of the lateral malleolus are stable only if no other ligaments are torn. These fractures are unstable if accompanied by a tear of the deltoid or anterior tibiofibular ligament and it may be necessary to demonstrate the resulting talar instability by stress radiographs. Stable fractures are best trea...

abstract：:Distal femur fractures routinely heal by secondary bone healing, which relies on interfragmentary motion. Periarticular locking plates are commonly used for fixation in distal femur fractures but are associated with a high nonunion rate, likely due to the stiffness of the constructs. Far cortical locking (FCL) screws ...
