Objective. The study aims to compare minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of proximal humeral fracture in elder patients. Method. PubMed, Medline, EMbase, Ovid, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wangfang, and VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals were searched to identify all relevant studies from inception to October 2016. Data were analyzed with Cochrane Collaboration’s Review Manage 5.2. Results. A total of 630 patients from 8 publications were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that MIPO was superior to ORIF in the treatment of proximal humeral fracture in elder patients. It was reflected in reducing blood loss, operation time, postoperative pain, or fracture healing time of the surgery and in improving recovery of muscle strength. Concerning complications, no significant difference was seen between MIPO and ORIF. Conclusion. The MIPO was more suitable than ORIF for treating proximal humeral fracture in elder patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine if arthrodesis, compared with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), produces favorable American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, and to determine if differences in complication, revision surgery, and secondary arthrodesis rates exist for patients with Lisfranc fracture/dislocation injuries. Searches were performed in PubMed using the keywords “Lisfranc fracture,” “metatarsal fracture,” “ORIF,” “open reduction internal fixation,” “arthrodesis,” and “fusion.” These criteria left 183 articles for review. Exclusions left 21 articles and 2 translations of Chinese abstracts. Data analysis was performed using Student’s 2-sample t test for samples of equal variance, and chi-square test for goodness of fit. The t test revealed a significant difference ( P = .03) between the average AOFAS score for patients who underwent primary arthrodesis (84.7 ± 6.14) compared with those who were treated with ORIF (78.9 ± 5.09). There was no significant difference for the average VAS scores ( P = .33) of the arthrodesis and ORIF groups. The complication rate of arthrodesis patients was significantly lower than ORIF patients ( P = .04), and the rates of revision surgery ( P = .22) and secondary arthrodesis ( P = .53) were not significant between the groups. The results of this study indicate that arthrodesis may be a better surgical option than ORIF, due to the higher functional scores and the lower complication rate.

Abstract Background Metacarpal fractures are among the most common fractures of the skeletal system and account for 36 % of hand and wrist fractures. Aim of the Work To determine the functional outcome and postoperative complications for both these surgical techniques in the treatment of second and third metacarpal bones fractures. Patients and Methods The systematic review was restricted to clinical studies of both these surgical techniques in the treatment of closed second and third metacarpal fractures. We reviewed studies that include management of metacarpal fractures with open reduction and internal fixation using plate and screws versus percutaneous crossed Kirschner wires fixation. Results No specification was made about the type of fracture, other than shaft fractures located in the second and the third metacarpal. All fractures were operated because of instability, angulations’ or rotational deformity. No comparison can therefore be made between fracture type (i.e. spiral, oblique) and functional results. As all studies reported identical indication for surgical fixation a comparison between type of fixation and functional result can be made. Conclusion Based on the reported results there is no evidence to suggest one fixation technique over another. The reported complications however for ORIF and K-wire fixation in the treatment of metacarpal fractures are unmistakably different for the two types of fixation.

We describe a simple technique using dual C-arms (large and mini C-arm together) for open reduction internal fixation of calcaneal fractures in the lateral decubitus position that (1) decreases the difficulty of obtaining proper intraoperative imaging; (2) limits C-arm movement, which decreases risk of contamination and operative time; and (3) minimizes the drawbacks of each imaging fluoroscopic modality.
