Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Case-control study on the treatmentof the fifth metatarsal base fractures by cardboard compression pad versus short leg plaster].
To compare the effect,safety,and advantage of flexible fixation with paperboard and pad versus short leg plaster in treating the fifth metatarsal base fracture,and establish the standard of diagnosis and treatment of the fifth metatarsal base fractures in flexible fixation with paperboard and pad. ⋯ Using paperboard and pad fixation to treat the fifth metatarsal base fracture has the advantage of simplicity operating,reliable fixation, satisfactory effects, easily obtainable material.

Surgical fixation of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures: elastic intramedullary nailing versus precontoured plating.
This prospective comparative study was done to evaluate the effectiveness of implants of different design (titanium elastic intramedullary nail versus anatomical precontoured dynamic compression plate) in treatment of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures. ⋯ Level 2.

Randomized Controlled TrialDoes the magnetic-guided intramedullary nailing technique shorten operation time and radiation exposure?
The aim of this study is to show whether a new magnetic-guided locking technique is superior to a standard freehand technique in terms of operation time and radiation exposure. This treatment will be used for distal locking of the tibia during intramedullary nailing. ⋯ For distal locking during tibial intramedullary nailing, the magnetic locking system is as accurate as the standard freehand technique, but it has lower operative times and radiation exposures compared to the standard freehand technique. Therefore, the magnetic locking system should be preferred to current standard freehand techniques.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Closed reduction and internal fixation for intertrochanteric femoral fractures is safer and more efficient using two fluoroscopes simultaneously.
The purpose of the study was to assess whether using two fluoroscopes simultaneously in closed reduction and internal fixation of a stable intertrochanteric fracture reduces radiation and operation time. Patients who sustained a stable intertrochanteric femoral fracture were operated in our institution with closed reduction and internal fixation. They were randomly allocated to be operated with the assistance of one or two fluoroscopes. ⋯ Working simultaneously with two fluoroscopic devices is safer for the medical team in the operating theatre, because it decreases the patient's radiation exposure, wound exposure time, and anaesthesia time. It saves operating room time and fluoroscopy personnel during the operation. When operating on hip fractures that are planned to be reduced and fixated, we recommend working with two fluoroscopes simultaneously.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Observational StudyPosition of polyaxial versus monoaxial screws in locked plating for proximal humeral fractures: analysis of a prospective randomized study.
Aim of the study was to compare the chosen position of polyaxial locking screws with the position of monoaxial screws in the humeral head of proximal humeral fractures treated by locked plating. ⋯ Treatment Study, Level II.
