Rationale and Technique of Wound Debridement

Subtrochanteric Femoral fractures

Supracondylar Elbow Fractures: Paediatric

The decision is between a condylar buttress plate versus a 95 degree fixed angle device such as a blade plate or a DCS condylar screw. Biomechanically, the results are better with a fixed angle device.

The incidence of supracondylar fractures is 4 to 7% of all femur fractures. There is a somewhat bimodal distribution of these injuries.

The tension band concept was introduced to orthopedics by Pauwels in the 1930's and was applied to internal fixation of eccentrically loaded bone. The concept had been around in engineering circles for a long time.
